DIRECTORS' REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2004

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2004. STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Company are that of property ownership, management and equipment leasing. DIRECTORS The directors who served during the year and their beneficial interests in the company's issued share capital were: Ordinary Shares shares of 1 each 31/3/04 1/4/03 Rosemary Bechlar Stuart Hill Nina Temple (resigned 28th May 2004) Paul Robert Norman Simpson (appointed 28th May 2004) 10 10 -
