NOT surprisingly in view of the scorn heaped on them by the Fife

Indmar board earlier this week, the rebel group seeking to unseat the

chairman fired another salvo of criticism yesterday.

The rebels claimed that a building society account would have produced

better returns.

In answer to the company's forecast total dividend of 2.75p a share,

Crolla consortium member Charles McDonald, who is also a non-executive

director of the Fife company, said they proposed to at least match it.

Mr McDonald claimed that #100 invested in a building society in 1982

would be worth #241.05, compared to #145.88p invested in the company's

shares. He said the share price had ''consistently under-performed'' as

an investment relative to its market sector.
