REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, for 
safeguarding the assets of the company and for taking reasonable steps for the 
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

AUDITORS

Grant Thornton offer themselves for reappointment as auditors in accordance with
section 385 of the Companies Act 1985.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS

As described on page 2 the company's directors are responsible for the 
preparation of the financial statements. It is our responsibility to form an 
independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report our 
opinion to you.

BASIS OF OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the 
Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of 
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by 
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and 
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with 
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements 
are free from material misstatement whether caused by fraud or other 
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall 
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

OPINION

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state 
of the company's affairs as at 31 December 1995 and of its profit for the year 
then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 
1985.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost 
convention.

The principal accounting policies of the company have remained unchanged from 
the previous year and are set out below.

TURNOVER

Turnover is the total amount receivable by the company for services provided, 
excluding VAT and trade discounts.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated residual value 
of all tangible fixed assets by equal annual instalments over their expected 
useful lives. The rates generally applicable are:

Fixtures and fittings              5 years
Computer equipment                 5 years

Following a reassessment of the useful economic lives of the fixed assets of the
company the directors extended depreciation periods from three years to five
years.

STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

DEFERRED TAXATION

Deferred tax is provided for under the liability method using the tax rates 
estimated to arise when the timing differences reverse and is accounted for to 
the extent that it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallise. 
Unprovided deferred tax is disclosed as a contingent liability.

Debit balances arising in respect of advance corporation tax on dividends 
payable or proposed are carried forward to the extent that they are expected to 
be recoverable.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign 
currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 
date. All exchange differences are dealt with through the profit and loss 
account.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO PENSION FUNDS

Defined contribution scheme

The pension costs charged against profits represent the amount of the 
contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LEASED ASSETS

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised in 
the balance sheet and depreciated over their expected useful lives. The interest
element of leasing payments represents a constant proportion of the capital 
balance outstanding and is charged to the profit and loss account over the 
period of the lease.

All other leases are regarded as operating leases and the payments made under 
them are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over 
the lease term.
