FUNDING UPDATE, COMPANY TO SEEK SECURED LOAN FROM ITS LARGEST SHAREHOLDERS TO SECURE SUFFICIENT LIQUIDITY

As announced on November 10, 2011, the Company has recently secured incoming new equity investment totalling €1,026,000 in a directed share offering. This amount was €224,000 short of the Company’s targeted amount to be raised in the offering of €1.25 million. As a result, the Company has been continuing to explore all options available to it to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to secure its operations through 2012 and beyond. As previously announced, the Company’s current cash resources are sufficient to finance the business into Q1 2012 and any alternative funding options should therefore be completed by the end of Q1 2012.

Having thoroughly explored all the realistic options open to the Company, the Board has now resolved to issue a secured interest-bearing loan note, primarily directed to the investors who participated in the recent directed share offering. The note will seek to raise €350,000, or potentially more, depending on investor appetite, which will secure the Company’s liquidity until the end of 2012. The note will use the 24% equity investment that the Company holds in GeoSolutions Holdings N.V as security. The detailed terms of this new instrument will be published in due course when finalized. Meanwhile the Board continues to retain and pursue, where appropriate, all realistic strategic options open to it in order to raise the necessary finance including another directed share offering, further cost cutting measures where possible, asset sales and other possible sources of external finance.
