5.1  The dilution would arise as a result of any future conversion of convertible debentures and outstanding share options. The directors are of the opinion that the debentures will not be converted in the foreseeable future and therefore no dilution is anticipated for the foreseeable future. No dilutive effect has been presented in respect of either instrument as this would be anti-dilutive.
