Included within 'Trade and other payables' is $176,000 which is due to Richmond if the Group is successful in recovering amounts due from its customers (refer to note 2). All other amounts included within 'Trade and other payables' are stated at their invoiced value or the Directors best estimate of the expected amounts payable for liabilities accrued but not yet invoiced. The Directors are in discussions with certain creditors of the Group to settle outstanding liabilities by a combination of cash and Ordinary Shares in the Company which, if successful, may reduce the cash outflows required to be paid by the Group to settle its outstanding liabilities.

   4.     Convertible redeemable preference shares 

In legal form the Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares ("CPS") are part of the Capital Stock of the Company (note 7). Under IFRS, the CPS are presented to reflect their separately identifiable components which include both liability and equity features. The basis for the initial valuation of the equity and liability components of the CPS and their subsequent remeasurement is provided in the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The CPS were issued at a price of $4.218 per CPS in March 2011 (the "Issue Price"). The CPS have a nominal value of GBP1.00 each and carry an annual coupon ("Dividend") of 10% of the Issue Price, payable quarterly in arrears. Under the terms of the CPS:

-- each CPS is convertible at any time at the holders' request into one Ordinary Share in the Company;

-- the Company can give notice of redemption at any time at the Issue Price. If an early redemption notice is issued, the holder of the CPS can issue a conversion notice at any date prior to the stipulated redemption date;

-- subject to Jersey Law and in particular the Company being solvent at the redemption date, the CPS will be mandatorily redeemed on 11 April 2016, with a total redemption value (excluding Dividends) of $4,336,000;

-- the CPS dividend accrues quarterly and is payable, subject to Jersey Law in arrears within 10 calendar days of each of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December; and

-- to the extent that the Company cannot lawfully pay the Dividend or redeem the CPS, which is the case when the Directors are unable under Jersey Law to conclude that the Company is solvent at the date of payment or redemption, then the Dividend or redemption is deferred until the date at which it can lawfully be paid.

The Company has been unable to pay the Dividend for the period commencing 1 March 2012 to the date of this report under the terms of Jersey Law. The Dividend continues to accrue in accordance with the terms of the CPS with $469,000 accrued as at 30 April 2013 within current liabilities.

   5.     Short term provisions 

Short term provisions represent liabilities arising from contractual arrangements of the Group under which the Group has potential obligations to indemnify the third party against costs or losses incurred. These provisions relate to the Company, Noventa Limited. The Group anticipates that any cash outflow arising from short term provisions will be realised in 2013 and 2014 but remains optimistic that part, or all, of the short term provisions will not result in cash outflows for the Group and may be written back in future periods.

   6.     Derivative financial liabilities 

Derivative financial liabilities represents warrants issued by the Company which are classified as derivative financial liabilities because the warrants are issued in GBGBP which is not the functional currency of the Company. At 30 April 2013 the fair value of derivative financial liabilities for warrants is $2,000.

   7.1.1.         Ordinary Shares 

The Company has one class of Ordinary Shares which carry no right to fixed income. Each Ordinary Share carries the right to one vote at the general meetings of the Company.

   7.1.2.         Preference Shares 

The Company has one class of Preference Shares which carry the right to a fixed preferential dividend at a percentage rate per annum, determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") at the date of issue and payable in preference to any dividend in respect of any other class of shares. The Board may provide that different preferential dividends apply to different Preference Shares; in such an event all Preference Shares will be treated as one and the same class. Other than for the preference dividend the Preference Shares do not confer any further rights of participation in the profits of the Company.

The Preference Shares do not carry voting rights at the general meetings of the Company, except in circumstances where the business of the meeting includes consideration of a resolution which directly or adversely varies any of the rights attached to the Preference Shares, in which case the Preference Shareholders may vote in respect of such a resolution.

On winding up of the Company or other return of capital, the assets of the Company will be applied to repaying holders of the Preference Shares in priority to holders of the Ordinary Shares.

Preference Shares may be redeemed by the Company under the terms of redemption of the Preference Shares determined by the Board at the date of issue, or as amended by resolution approved at a meeting of the relevant Preference Shareholders.

Preference Shares may be converted into Ordinary Shares of the Company under the terms of conversion of the Preference Shares determined by the Directors at the date of issue, or as amended by resolution approved at a meeting of the relevant Preference Shareholders.

   7.1.3.         Other matters 

No person has any special rights of control over the Company's share capital and all issued shares are fully paid.

There are no specific restrictions on the size of a holding of shares nor on the transfer of shares, which are both governed by the general provisions of the Articles of Association, which include language similar to the language included in Rule 9 of the UK Takeover Code, and prevailing legislation. The Directors are not aware of any agreements between holders of the Company's shares that may result in restrictions on the transfer of securities or on voting rights.
