policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</p>

Not applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel
Peter Abraham, the General Counsel and Company Secretary of the
registrant, has provided an opinion as to the legal issuance of the ordinary
shares registered hereby, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.  Mr. Abraham is a full-time employee of the
registrant and owns certain ordinary shares of the registrant.  Mr. Abraham will receive an initial award

permitted by law, the registrant must indemnify, on a full indemnity basis,
each current and former director, secretary or executive officer

of the registrant, and such other officers or former officers of the
registrant or its subsidiaries as the directors in each case determine, against
all losses, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses incurred by them in their
capacity as an officer of the registrant or of a subsidiary.  In addition, each director entered into a
deed of indemnity, insurance and access with the registrant upon appointment.  Such deeds: 
(a) provide for the aforementioned indemnity; (b) require the registrant
to cause directors' and officers' insurance policies to be made available
during the term of the directorship and for seven years thereafter; and (c)
require the registrant to maintain copies of board papers for at least seven
years from the date of the relevant meeting and, in certain circumstances, to
make copies of such papers available to the director after he or she has ceased
to be a director, for the purpose of defending a claim against such former
director.

Item 9.  Undertakings
*(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
II-2
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of
this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
*(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
*(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
*Paragraph references correspond to those of Regulation S-K, Item 512.
