         been    any   such   disposal,   spillage,   release,
         discharge, leak or emission (whether or not the  same
         constituted a non-compliance by any person  with  any
         such  legislation  or regulations, and  wherever  the
         same  may  have  taken place) any of which  disposal,
         spillage, release, discharge, leak or emission  would
         be  likely  to give rise to any liability (actual  or
         contingent)  on the part of any member of  the  wider
         Bandt  Group and which is material in the context  of
         the wider Bandt Group taken as a whole; or

         contingent)  of  any past or present  member  of  the
         wider Bandt Group to make good, repair, reinstate  or
         clean  up  any property or any controlled waters  now
         or  previously owned, occupied, operated or made  use
         of  or  controlled by any such past or present member
         of  the  wider  Bandt group, under any  environmental
         legislation,  regulation, notice, circular  or  order
         of  any government, governmental, quasi-governmental,
         state  or  local government, supranational, statutory
         or  other regulatory body, agency, court, association
         or any other person or body in any jurisdiction.
    
For  the purposes of these conditions the "wider Bandt  Group"

means   Tilbury   Douglas  and  its  subsidiary  undertakings,
associated  undertakings and any other  undertaking  in  which
Tilbury  Douglas  and/or such undertakings (aggregating  their

"undertaking"  have the meanings given by  the  Companies  Act
1985, other than paragraph 20(1)(b) of Schedule 4A to that Act
which  shall  be  excluded for this purpose, and  "significant
interest" means a direct or indirect interest in ten per cent.
or more of the equity share capital (as defined in that Act).
    
Tilbury  Douglas reserves the right to waive, in whole  or  in
part,  all  or any of the above conditions, except  conditions
(a), (c) and (d).

Conditions  (c)  and (d) must be fulfilled by, and  conditions
(b)  and  (e)  to  (k)  (inclusive) fulfilled  or  waived  by,

Panel   may  agree).   Tilbury  Douglas  shall  be  under   no
obligation  to  waive  or  treat  as  satisfied  any  of   the
conditions  (b),  (c)  and (e) to (k) (inclusive)  by  a  date
earlier   than  the  latest  date  specified  above  for   the
satisfaction   thereof,   notwithstanding   that   the   other
conditions  of  the Offer may at such earlier date  have  been
waived or fulfilled and that there are at such earlier date no
circumstances indicating that any of such conditions  may  not
be capable of fulfilment.

If  Tilbury Douglas is required by the Panel to make an  offer

     announcement.

(ii)Based  on  the  closing middle market  quotation  of  47.5
     pence per Bandt Share as derived from the Official List on 21
     June 1999, the last dealing day prior to the announcement that
     Bandt had received an approach which may lead to an offer.

(iii)   The  gross interest on the cash consideration has been
     calculated on the assumption that the cash is reinvested so as
     to yield 5.37 per cent. per annum, being the FTSE Actuaries
     Government Securities Index average gross redemption yield for
     UK  government securities of maturities of five years  as
     obtained from the Financial Times on 6 July 1999 (the last
     practicable date prior to the date of this announcement).

     based on the final dividend of 7 pence per share paid for the
     financial year ended 31 December 1998 with associated tax
     credits  of 10/90ths of the amounts paid and the  interim
     dividend of 3.2 pence per share paid on 6 November 1998 with
     associated tax credits of 20/80ths of the amounts paid.

     0.5 pence per share paid on 6 January 1999 with associated tax
     credits of 20/80ths of the amounts paid.

(vi) No  account has been taken of any liability for taxation,
     or  any  election to waive the final dividend and receive
     an  additional payment or the treatment of  fractions  of
     Tilbury  Douglas Shares or of any Mix and Match  Election
     entitlement  in  assessing  the  financial   effects   of
     acceptances of the Offer.
