Conversion of Convertible Loan Notes for Shares

The Company is pleased to announce the conversion (the “Conversion”) of
£300,000 Convertible Loan Notes (the "Convertible Loan Notes") for 6,000,000
new Ordinary Shares (the "Conversion Shares"). The Conversion Price
is 5 pence per share.

The Conversion Price represents a premium of 85 per cent to the closing price
of 2.70 pence on 23 January 2023, being the business day prior to agreement of
the Conversion. The Conversion is being conducted pursuant to the existing
authorities granted to the Directors of the Company at its annual general
meeting on 29 April 2022. The Conversion Shares represent
approximately 9.25 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital as
enlarged by the Conversion Shares.

The purpose of the Conversion is to assist the company in reducing its
creditor position.

The holder of the Convertible Loan Notes will also receive two warrants for
each Conversion Share. The first such warrant conveys the right to subscribe
for a further new ordinary share at an exercise price of 5p (“5p
Warrant”)and the second such warrant conveys the right to subscribe for
further new ordinary share at an exercise price of 10p (“10p Warrant”). 
These warrants are exercisable up until 31 December 2024. In total therefore
6,000,000 5p Warrants and 6,000,000 10p Warrants will be issued.

In compliance with Prospectus Regulation Rule 1.2.4, which prohibits the
admission of more than 20% of the number of securities already admitted to
