For Immediate Release                                           7 September 2006

                                   Carclo plc
                                   ('Carclo')

                                 AGM Statement

At the annual general meeting to be held later today, Christopher Ross, chairman
of Carclo, will make the following statement.

Trading continues in line with our expectations. Operating margins in Technical
Plastics for the half year are expected to be double those of the prior
comparative period on similar sales revenues - benefiting from the improving mix
of business as we focus on medical and specialist markets. Within Carclo
Precision Products, Automotive margins have reduced, as expected, reflecting
weaker demand for specialist lighting - but we have initiated a cost reduction
programme which should result in an improved second half. The Precision
Engineering businesses have maintained their excellent performance.

We now anticipate substantially higher proceeds than originally expected from
the sale of the surplus properties in this financial year. This will further
reduce group debt and release resources for increased investment in growth
opportunities.

We have made encouraging advances in the development of new technologies.
Conductive Inkjet Technology ('CIT') has now, through its partner Preco
Industries, issued the first firm quotation for MetalJet 6000 systems for RFID
applications. CIT is also making excellent progress in broadening the
application universe for the CIT process. Other developments are on track to
support the future growth of the group. The most commercially advanced of these
applications is our soluble capsule project with Stanelco. This has made good
progress, with the new SmartCap concept being very well received.
