Trading Statement

Byotrol plc Byotrol plc ('the Company') Trading Update The board of Byotrol is pleased with the progress that the Company has made in the four months since its flotation on AIM in July 2005. Sales for the period to 30 September 2005, although still modest, have exceeded budget and costs have been controlled in line with budget. NHS trial The Company has initiated a four-month trial with a major NHS hospital to study the efficacy of its technology in reducing the spread of hospital acquired MRSA. If successful, the Directors are confident that Byotrol's technology and products will find very wide acceptance and use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities across the NHS. EPA update In the USA the Company has completed, on time, the first (formulation and scope testing) stage of its three stage plan to achieve EPA approval for the US food processing and healthcare markets. The Directors believe product approvals for these markets will be obtained in the first half of 2006. Byotrol materials, using current EPA accepted labeling, have been supplied and successfully used in the cleanup operations following Hurricane Katrina. European registrations To facilitate future pan European sales the Company has commenced the European Union's CE mark approval process for three healthcare products that use Byotrol materials. The Company expects to achieve CE mark status in the next six to nine months. Street furniture Additionally, following a successful trial in Bournemouth, a Byotrol based coating has been specified for use in the maintenance of street furniture and lampposts by Southern Electric Contracting Limited, the public lighting and maintenance contracting subsidiary of Scottish and Southern Energy plc. The addition of Byotrol's anti-microbial products was found to have considerable cost and public safety advantages. Distribution agreement In Europe the Company has recently entered into a memorandum of understanding which is expected to lead to a distribution agreement with Exa Consultancy in Sweden. This agreement covers sales of Byotrol products in the domestic, technical and food markets. This complements a food industry supply arrangement agreed with Dykorn AS in Norway in September. Interim results The Company will report its interim results for the period to 30 September 2005 in early December and will provide a further update on progress at that time. -- ends - Media calls to: Jim Rothnie McCann Erickson PR T: 01625 822540 E: jim.rothnie@europe.mccann.com Financial enquiries to: Nick Rodgers or Oli Rayner Merchant Capital 0207 332 2200
