On behalf of:      Western Selection P.L.C. ("the Company" or "Western")

                   For immediate release

                           Western Selection P.L.C.


Western Selection P.L.C. ("Western") is a long term shareholder in Hartim Ltd
("Hartim") and today announces that it has lent £500,000 to Hartim to provide
funds to support the continuing growth of Hartim.  The loan is convertible into
equity if not repaid, carries interest at 6% over base rate, is repayable by 31
December 2016, and is secured over Hartim's principal asset, its investment in
Tudor Rose Ltd.

Western has also lent £160,000 to Hartim's Executive Management Team, to assist
them in the purchase of shares in Hartim formerly owned by the retiring
managing director.  These loans bear interest at a rate of 4.5% over base rate,
are repayable by 31 December 2018, and are secured over these Hartim shares.
All dividends on these shares will be applied to the repayment of these loans.
The Western board has decided that it is in the best interests of Western's
shareholders that the current executive directors should have a material stake
in the success of Hartim, and these loans are a pragmatic way of achieving this
objective.

These loans substantially increase Western's exposure to Hartim but the
business is performing well, the loans generate a positive return to Western,
and the structure encourages the payment of a dividend on Western's original
investment.

Copies of this notification are held at the Company's office, 30 City Road,
London, EC1Y 2AG (tel. 020 7448 8950) and are available for a period of 14 days
from the date of this announcement.
