SEDOL NO. 0448116               SCHEDULE 13G/A                     Page 10 of 12


       NOTE:  This Amendment has been filed to correct the amounts of beneficial
              ownership which were reported in the Schedule 13-G filed for the
              above-referenced Reporting Persons for the year ended December 31,
              1998. In that Schedule, the Reporting Persons inadvertently
              reported the number of ADRs held rather than the ordinary shares
              underlying the ADRs and, in calculating the percentage of
              beneficial ownership of each Reporting Person, used the number of
              shares which had been issued and outstanding as of June 30, 1998
              rather than the number of shares outstanding as of December 31,
              1998. As a result, the number of ordinary shares held by, and the
              percentage of beneficial ownership of each of, the Reporting
              Persons were understated. This error was not discovered until
              March 2000 when the Reporting Persons began to reduce their
              holdings in the Issuer. See Schedule 13-G/A dated March 10, 2000
              for the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons as of that
              date.

ITEM 5    OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:

          If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of
          the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the
          beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of
          securities, check the following: / /

ITEM 6    OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF
          ANOTHER PERSON:
