             FKI PLC COMPLETES TENDER OFFER FOR AMDURA CORPORATION
                      COMMON STOCK, PLANS IMMEDIATE MERGER

Halifax, England, April 20, 1995--FKI plc ("FKI") announced today that, based
upon a preliminary count, 24,064,752 shares or approximately 95.4% of the
outstanding common stock of Amdura Corporation (NYSE: ADU) ("Amdura") has
been tendered to FKI's U.S. subsidiary, ADU Acquisition Inc. ("Purchaser"),
as of the time Purchaser's tender offer expired late yesterday. FKI said
that the notice period under the Exon-Florio Act would expire at midnight on
April 21 and the Purchaser expected to accept and pay for the tendered shares
on April 24. FKI stated that since more than 90% of the outstanding Amdura
common stock had been tendered, it planned to consummate the previously agreed
merger of Purchaser into Amdura immediately after accepting the tendered
shares. Holders of Amdura common stock who did not tender their shares would
receive $2.30 cash per share as a result of the merger, the same amount paid
for tendered shares, FKI said.
