ANNOUNCEMENT IN REGARD TO THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF THE EXISTING BUSINESS OF     
ZELTIS AND A CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT                                            
Imara Corporate Finance (South Africa) (Pty) Limited is authorised to announce  
the following:                                                                  
1.   Disposal of Business                                                       
     Pursuant to the change of control of Zeltis and the closing of the         
mandatory offer, Corvus Capital Inc. now owns 50.3% of the issued share    
     capital, as announced on Monday, 16 January 2006. Zeltis has registered the
     special resolution to change its name to Corvus Capital (SA) Holdings      
     Limited but such name change will only be effective on the JSE from Monday,
13 February 2006.                                                          
     The existing business of Zeltis has become non-core to the future strategy 
     of Zeltis and accordingly, the directors of Zeltis have decided to dispose 
     of the whole of the existing business.                                     
The Board of Directors has decided that it would be in the best interests  
     of all parties that the Company proceeds with its newly stated objectives  
     of finding appropriate assets for Zeltis and to dispose of those non-core  
     assets as soon as possible.                                                
A new disposal agreement has been concluded with Rodney Norman McLeod or   
     his nominee ("RNM") to sell all the assets and liabilities of Zeltis to him
     for an amount of R1 million payable in cash, provided that in the event    
     that RNM is unable to sell the book of the Denverdraft Group for an amount 
greater than R7,5 million (the top of the range of the BDO valuation), and 
     sells it for a lesser amount, then the selling price will be adjusted      
     downwards to the minimum of R250,000.                                      
     This disposal agreement is effective from today subject to the resolutive  
condition that Zeltis shareholders approve the Sale in a general meeting.  
     Once the assets are sold and the cash realised is R1 million, Zeltis will  
     fall within the JSE definition of a Cash shell and be subject to the       
     appropriate rules.
