AGM STATEMENT

Colefax will be holding its Annual General Meeting at 11am this morning and David Green, Chief Executive, will make the following comment on current trading.

"Since we announced our year end results in July, trading conditions have remained relatively challenging in all of our major markets. In our core Fabric Division, sales for the four months to 31 August are up by 4% in reported currency but down by 7% on a constant currency basis. Overall, this was broadly in line with expectations.

We have a significant capital expenditure programme this year with new US showrooms opening in Boston and Atlanta. We are also moving our Decorating Division to new premises on Pimlico Road, London SW1 and are optimistic about the trading prospects in this new location."
