      Disposal of Eversure Textiles Limited ('Eversure')
                               
Sirdar PLC announces that it yesterday disposed of its curtain
and accessories subsidiary, Eversure to Mr. Sabur Rehman.

The consideration is £550,000 payable as to £70,000 in cash on
completion and the balance in cash within six months.  The
balance is secured by a guarantee given by Eversure supported
by a legal charge over the freehold and leasehold property of
Eversure.

The net operating assets of Eversure as at 30 June 1999
amounted to £4.8 million and the operating loss for the year
to 30 June 1999 was £0.9 million.  With trade continuing to
decline in the current year, the board reported in the interim
announcement to shareholders dated 22 March 2000 that it was
considering a number of options regarding the future of this
division and this disposal will eliminate this loss making
business from the group.

The proceeds will be used to reduce group borrowings.

The net assets of Eversure at completion were approximately £3
million.  After taking into account goodwill previously
written off of £4.8 million, the total loss on disposal, which
will be charged in the group accounts to 30 June 2000 amounts
to £7.3 million.
