                            ("Poole" Or "The Company")

                         Statement re: Possible Offer


Due to the recent increase in the Company's share price the Board of Poole
announces that it has received an approach which may or may not lead to an offer
for the Company.


Any offer for the share capital of the Company is likely to represent a price at
or around 6 pence for each Poole ordinary share. It is emphasised that these
talks are at an early stage and there can be no certainty that a formal offer
will be made. This annoucement is being made without the consent of the
potential Offeror.


A further announcement will be released in due course.


In accordance with the provisions of Rule 2.10 of the City Code on Takeovers and
Mergers, the Company confirms that it has 184,948,954 ordinary shares of 5p each
in issue and admitted to trading on AIM under the UK International Securities
Identification (ISIN) Number GB0007176901.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements


Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes,
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "relevant
securities" of Poole, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that
company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative
referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no
later than 3.30 pm on the business day following the date of the relevant
transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the "offer
period" ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant
securities" of Poole, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose
of Rule 8.3.



Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of Poole by any member of Poole, or by any of their respective
"associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon on the business day
following the date of the relevant transaction.



A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.



"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.



Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the
Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required
to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
