                     Land Sale and Pre-Close Trading Update


Carclo plc ('Carclo') announces that it has exchanged binding missives on the
sale of surplus industrial land of approximately three acres adjacent to its
Bruntons Aero facility at Musselburgh near Edinburgh.

The land has been sold for £1.25 million in cash, bringing the total proceeds
from surplus properties to £1.5 million so far this financial year.  The
proceeds from the disposal of the site, which was sold to Uraich Limited, will
be used to reduce group indebtedness. The site had a nil book value and so the
entire sales proceeds, less associated costs, have been booked as exceptional
profit.

Carclo has continued to make steady progress and results for the first half to
30 September are anticipated to be broadly in line with the Board's
expectations.

Carclo will be announcing interim results on 6 December 2004.
