Dear Sirs,

credit facilities granted to Korona Haushaltswaren GmbH & Co. by Deutsche Bank
has been extended for another 12 months.


INTEREST, COMMISSIONS AND FEES

The first paragraph under this heading is revised to read as follows:-

Unless otherwise specified, interest on all sums advanced will be payable
monthly in arrears at Prime or HIBOR, whichever is higher. A default rate of 8%
