                         FII Goup PLC   ("the Company")


                             Suspension of Trading


As referred to in the preliminary announcement of results issued on 26 
September 2003, the Company is in negotiations with the Pension Fund Trustees 
in order to reach a compromise of the debt which would fall on the Group (under
section 75 of the Pension Act, 1995) in the event of insolvency and which would
otherwise arise were the Company to pay the required level of  future pension
contributions.


The Board remains hopeful that these negotiations will be concluded successfully
and that the necessary fund raising will be achieved.  However, given the
current uncertainty as to the outcome, the Board has requested an immediate
suspension in trading in the Company's shares.
