             FKI PLC COMPLETES TENDER OFFER FOR AMDURA CORPORATION
                      COMMON STOCK, PLANS IMMEDIATE MERGER
   
Halifax, England, April 25, 1995--FKI plc ("FKI") announced today that it had
completed its acquisition of Amdura Corporation  ("Amdura") yesterday by 
merging its U.S. subsidiary ADU Acquisition Inc. ("Purchaser") into Amdura.
The action followed the acceptance for payment earlier yesterday of the 95.4%
of Amdura common stock which had been tendered to Purchaser's recent tender
offer. Holders of Amdura common stock who did not tender their shares will
receive $2.30 cash per share as a result of the merger, FKI said, the same
amount as was paid in the tender offer.
