                           STATEMENT RE PRESS COMMENT



The Board of Superscape has noted the recent press comment and confirms it is in
preliminary talks which may or may not lead to a recommended cash offer being
made for the Company.



Whilst there can be no assurance that an offer will be made, it is anticipated
that any such offer, if made, would be at a significant premium to the current
share price.



A further announcement will be made in due course.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements



Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
"Code"), if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in
1 per cent. or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Superscape, all
"dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that company (including by means of
an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant
securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time)
on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This
requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is
declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or
on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together
pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to
acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of Superscape, they will be
deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.



Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of Superscape by Superscape or by any of their respective
"associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the
London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. A disclosure
table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant securities" "dealings"
should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in issue, can be found on
the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk .



"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.



Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the
Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required
to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.



Rule 2.10 Requirement



In accordance with Rule 2.10 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers,
Superscape confirms that it currently has in issue 183,098,860 ordinary shares
of 10 pence each. The International Securities Identification Number for the
ordinary shares is GB0008636127.
