Notes to the Preliminary Results
For the year ended  30 June 2000

1.   Basis of accounting and preparation
The  information for the year ended 30 June 2000  is  an
abridged  version of the full accounts  for  that  year,
which  received an unqualified report from the auditors.
The  preliminary financial information has been prepared
using  accounting polices consistent with those  adopted
in the previous statutory accounts (to 30 June 1999).

The  financial information in this announcement does not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section  240
of  the  Companies Act 1985. Statutory accounts for  the
previous  financial year ended 30 June  1999  have  been
delivered  to the Registrar of Companies. The  auditors'
report  on  those accounts was unqualified and  did  not
contain any statement under Section 237(2) or (3) of the
Companies  Act  1985.  A copy of the  audited  statutory
accounts  for  the  year ended  30  June  2000  will  be
available  from  the  Company's  registered  office   at
Newtech   Square,  Deeside  Industrial  Park,   Deeside,
Flintshire, CH5 2NT from today. Copies of the  statutory
accounts  are being sent to shareholders today and  will
be filed with the Registrar of Companies today.

(1)The exceptional research and development costs  in
  1999 relate to the impairment of tangible fixed assets
  and #0.3 million of the #0.6 million redundancy costs.
  The  redundancies  in  2000  have  resulted  from  the
  reorganisation.
(2)The costs associated with the departure of a former
  Director  include the costs of settlement and  related
  expenses  arising  from the legal proceedings  seeking
  compensation  for  loss of office and  an  accrual  in
  respect of tax claims in relation to his contracts  of
  employment.
(3)This relates to the write down of assets in OraTol
   Limited prior to the disposal of it in October 1999.
(4)The  profit  arising  on  disposal  of  businesses
   relates to the sale of the Food Diagnostics business of
   Provalis Diagnostics Limited and the business of Cortecs
   (Berger) Limited for a total consideration of #1 million
   on 18 June 1999.
(5)There  are no taxation consequences of  the  above
  exceptional items due to the availability of current and
  prior year tax losses.
