HOLIDAYS

The  Company's  holiday  year  runs  from  1st  January  to  31st  December.

You are entitled to 28 days' holiday with pay in every holiday year exclusive of
bank  and  other  public holidays. Holidays can only be taken at times agreed in
advance with the Company.  You must give the Company a minimum of 7 days' notice
of  your  intention  to  take  any  holiday.  The  Company reserves the right to
require you to take any period of holiday at any time by giving you a minimum of
30  days'  notice, except that the Company is not required to give you a minimum
period  of notice to take holiday if notice of termination of your employment is
given  (whether  by  you  or  the  Company).

Any  entitlement  to  holiday  remaining  at  the end of any holiday year may be
carried  forward  into  the  next  holiday  year  but  no  further.

The amount of holiday pay in lieu of holidays at end of employment is calculated
as  follows:

(a)     If,  when your employment ends, the number of days of holidays which you
        have   taken   in  the  relevant  year  differs  from  your  entitlement
        (calculated at 1.25 days  for  each  complete month of employment in the
        holiday year), then a payment  or the number of days' difference will be
        either paid to you or refunded  by  you  depending  whether  the  amount
        actually  taken is less or greater than  your  entitlement.  The  amount
        paid or refunded will be the number of days difference multiplied by the
        daily equivalent of your annual basic salary/wages (on  the basis of 365
        days  a  year).
(b)     You  will not be entitled to a payment under (a) above if the Company is
        entitled  to  and  does  terminate your employment summarily or  if  you
        refuse to take  any  holiday  entitlement  during  your  notice  period.

the  staff,  you  will  be  entitled  to  join.

SHARE  SCHEME

Option  Plan  when  that  is  established.

CAR

You  will  be  entitled  to use a Company car for your business and private use.

the  event  that:

(a)     You  are  suspended  from  your  duties in accordance with the Company's
        disciplinary  procedure.

This  may  involve  travelling  outside normal business hours and at weekends or
public  holidays  should  the  need  arise.

Reasonable  expenses  will  be  reimbursed  for  such  travel.

REMUNERATION

For  the  year  1999,  your  basic  salary  is  US$  5,000.00  per  month.

Your  salary  will  be  paid in equal monthly instalments in arrears on the last
working  day  of each month directly into your bank account.  Payment in respect
of a period less than a month will be apportioned in proportion to the number of
days  worked  as a proportion of the total number of working days in that month.

Your  salary  will  be reviewed to US$ 7,000 per month as from 1st January 2000.
Your  salary  will be reviewed to US$ 10,000 per month as from 1st January 2001.

Any  outstanding  salary or consultancy payments due to you under this agreement
of  any  previous  agreements  will  be  paid  to  you  when  cashflow  permits.

REVIEW  OF  REMUNERATION

After  the  year  2001,  a review will be made of the basic salary at the end of
each  year  and will be renewed upwards by at least the Government quoted annual
inflation rate for the year just complete. Adjustments will be made in line with
generally  accepted  market  trends, taking into account the senior level of the
employee.

OVERTIME

Overtime  payments  are  not  made  but,  if  substantial  overtime  is  worked,
additional  time  off  may  be  granted  at  the  Company's  discretion.

BONUS

In  addition  to  the  basic  salary  you will be entitled to participate in the
Company's  incentive  bonus  scheme,  subject to the rules in force from time to
time.  The  Company  reserves the right to amend or terminate this scheme at any
time,  with  or  without  replacement.

Your incentive bonus will be based on 0.5% of the increase in Net Asset Value of
API  over  each  calendar  year.

The bonus will be paid in shares or cash (or a combination) as determined by the
board.

WORKING  TIME

Your  normal working hours are 8.00 am to 5.00 p.m. Monday to Friday including a
break  for  lunch  of  one hour. The Company may vary the normal start or finish
times  according  to  business  needs.

You are required to work such hours, as the needs of the business require.  This
may  include working in the evenings outside normal office hours, at weekends or
on  public  holidays.  No  additional  pay  or  time  off  will  be  permitted.

HOLIDAYS

The  Company's  holiday  year  runs  from  1st  January  to  31st  December.

You are entitled to 28 days' holiday with pay in every holiday year exclusive of
bank  and  other  public holidays. Holidays can only be taken at times agreed in
advance with the Company.  You must give the Company a minimum of 7 days' notice
of  your  intention  to  take  any  holiday.  The  Company reserves the right to
require you to take any period of holiday at any time by giving you a minimum of
30  days'  notice, except that the Company is not required to give you a minimum
period  of notice to take holiday if notice of termination of your employment is
given  (whether  by  you  or  the  Company).

Any  entitlement  to  holiday  remaining  at  the end of any holiday year may be
carried  forward  into  the  next  holiday  year  but  no  further.

The amount of holiday pay in lieu of holidays at end of employment is calculated
as  follows:

(a)     If,  when your employment ends, the number of days of holidays which you
        have   taken   in  the  relevant  year  differs  from  your  entitlement
        (calculated at 1.25 days  for  each  complete month of employment in the
        holiday year), then a payment  or the number of days' difference will be
        either paid to you or refunded  by  you  depending  whether  the  amount
        actually  taken is less or greater than  your  entitlement.  The  amount
        paid or refunded will be the number of days difference multiplied by the
        daily equivalent of your annual basic salary/wages (on  the basis of 365
        days  a  year).
(b)     You  will not be entitled to a payment under (a) above if the Company is
        entitled  to  and  does  terminate your employment summarily or  if  you
        refuse to take  any  holiday  entitlement  during  your  notice  period.

SICKNESS

The  office  where  you  are  employed  must  be informed as soon as possible by
telephone on the first day of your absence through sickness, followed by written
confirmation  within  2  days  of  the  commencement  of  illness.  A  doctor's
certificate  must  be  submitted  for  an  absence  of  more  than  7  days.

The  Company  must  be satisfied that the sickness is genuine otherwise payments
may  be  withheld.  The  Company  reserves  the  right  at  any time during your
employment  (whether  or not you are absent from work on account of sickness) to
require you to undergo an examination by a medical practitioner nominated by the
Company, at its expense.  Alternatively, the Company may require you to supply a
medical report from your own doctor (including to cover any absence of less than
7  days).

If  for an aggregate period of not less than 60 working days in the period of 12
months  ending with the date of notice, you have been incapacitated by reason of
ill health or injury from performing your duties, the Company may terminate your
employment  by  written  notice.

during  a period of notice terminating your employment) and whether or not it is
in connection with a disciplinary investigation.  Suspension will be on full pay
and  your  contractual  benefits  will  continue  to  be provided unless it is a
sanction  imposed  at  a  disciplinary  hearing (the sanction may be suspension,
without  pay  or  on  reduced  pay  as  the  Company  may  decide).

TERMINATION

You are entitled to 40 weeks' notice in writing of termination of employment and
to  an additional week's notice for each year of employment in excess of 3 years
up  to  a maximum of 52 weeks' notice in writing. The Company may make a payment
of  your  basic  salary  in  lieu  of  the  above  notice  entitlement.

The  above is subject to the Company's right to terminate your employment at any
time  without  notice:

(a)     for  any  act  of  serious  misconduct  or  of  serious incompetence; or
(b)     for  repeated  other  material  breach by you of your obligations to the
        Company;  or
(c)     if you are guilty of any conduct which seriously prejudices or is likely
        seriously  to  prejudice  the  Company;
(d)     if  you  are  convicted  for  an  arrestable  offence;  or
(e)     if  you become bankrupt or make any arrangement or composition with your

must,  if  so required by the Company, confirm in writing that you have complied
with  your  obligations  under  this  provision.

CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION

Except in the proper performance of your duties, you will not either during your
employment  or  at  any  time  afterwards  use or communicate to any person, and

disclosure  of, any information of a confidential nature concerning the business
of the Company or of any customer, supplier or other person having dealings with
the  Company  and  which  comes  to  your  knowledge  during  the course of your
employment.

AGREEMENT  TO  MAKE  DEDUCTION/WITHHOLD  PAYMENT

At any time during your employment, or on its termination (however arising), the
Company shall be entitled to deduct from salary or any other payments due to you
in respect of your employment any monies due from you to the Company.  If at any
