Disposal of Assets

Stanelco PLC 29 May 2007 Stanelco plc ('Stanelco' or the 'Company') Disposal of assets Further to the announcement in the trading statement released by the Company this morning, that it has reached agreement to dispose of certain fixed assets and stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Adept Polymers Limited ('Adept'), to MonoSol AF Limited for cash consideration of £494,000, the Board of Stanelco announces the following additional information. Adept previously developed and manufactured a range of biodegradable plastics. As announced in the Company's preliminary results statement on 21 March 2007, Adept's manufacturing facilities were closed during the 14 month period ended 31 December 2006, and the sale of assets is therefore expected to have no impact on the ongoing business of the Company. The book value of the assets now being sold, following a write-off related to the closure of the manufacturing facilities, is £239,000. During the 14 months ended 31 December 2006, Adept made a loss before tax of £2.12 million. The sale proceeds will be used to provide additional working capital for Stanelco.
