     second half) reduced from £269K in 1998 to £150K
-    Net cash balances positive, at £330K

In  addition - announced today - the strategically important
acquisition  of Kimberley Communication Consultants  Limited
(KCC) creates two substantial, new market opportunities.

Good prospects for the enlarged Group

Flomerics  has,  during the first half of 1999,  achieved  a
continuing   strengthening  and  expansion   in   its   core
businesses,   and,   through  the  strategically   important
acquisition  of  KCC,  is  now  in  a  position  to  exploit
additional market opportunities.

As  a  consequence,  the  directors  continue  to  view  the
remainder of 1999 and beyond with confidence.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Continuing Strengthening in Trading Performance

Flomerics'  trading performance for the first half  of  1999
reflects   a   continuation  of  the  quality   growth   and
improvements in margins achieved in 1998.

The  turnover  for the six months ending 30  June  1999  was
£3.443m,  a 17% increase on the same period last  year.  The
gross  margin has improved to 94%, as compared with 90%  for
the comparable period last year - the erosion in margin last
year  being  caused by third-party software costs associated
with the FLOTHERM Version 2.0 shipments in 1998.

Flomerics'  trading  pattern exhibits a high  proportion  of
license  renewals close to the year-end. As  a  consequence,
Flomerics  has traditionally made a loss in the first  half.
This year the loss to 30 June was £150k, as compared with  a
loss of £269k for the same period last year.

The  company continues to have a positive cash position with
cash balances of £330k at 30 June 1999. The directors do not
intend  to  pay  interim dividends  at  this  stage  of  the
company's development.

FLOVENT  sales have grown by 27% respectively over the  same
period  last  year, and now account for  just  over  10%  of
turnover.  This  continuing  strengthening  of  the  FLOVENT
business will be reinforced by the launch of FLOVENT Version
2, planned for later this year.

North  America  continues  to represent  Flomerics'  largest
market,  accounting for 54% of turnover for the  period.  In
order   to   further  strengthen  the  sales   and   support
infrastructure in this important region, in April  Flomerics
opened  a new office, in San Diego, southern California,  to
supplement the three existing U S offices.

To   broaden  its  offerings  to  the  electronics   market,
Flomerics  has  recently launched a new business,  targeting
the  provision  of  thermal design services  to  electronics
companies.  This  complements Flomerics'  existing  FLOTHERM
business - in which Flomerics supplies the software used  in
electronics  thermal  design  -  by  offering  full   design
services  for  companies wishing to out-source  the  thermal
design. This new business initiative, based initially in the
US, was launched successfully during the first half of 1999,
and  is  already  making  an  encouraging  contribution   to
turnover.

Acquisition of Kimberley Communication Consultants Limited

The  Board is delighted to announce the acquisition,  on  28
July  1999, of Kimberley Communications Consultants  Limited
(KCC),  a  private Nottingham-based company specializing  in
software for electromagnetic analysis.

KCC's  business is the development and marketing of analysis
software   for  high-frequency  electromagnetic   processes,
primarily  in  microwave and antenna applications.  KCC  has
achieved  steady growth over the last five  years,  and  has
just  completed  a  major new release  of  its  Microstripes
product.

For year ended 30 Oct 1998 KCC's turnover was £658k, and the
pre-tax profit was £61k. Overseas business (principally from
US  and  Japan)  accounted  for  roughly  25%  of  turnover.
Unaudited net assets as at 28 July 1999 are £35k.  The total
consideration  payable by Flomerics is £700k,  satisfied  by
£38.4k cash, £190k as a qualifying corporate bond redeemable
after 12 months, and the balance of £471.6k by the issue and
allotment of 188,640 new ordinary shares of one pence  each.
The  new  shares  will  rank pari passu  with  the  existing
ordinary shares, and application will be made for these  new
shares to be admitted to trading on AIM.

The  acquisition  of  KCC offers Flomerics  two  substantial
market opportunities.

Firstly, there is, the directors believe, a major new market
opportunity  in  electromagnetic  compatibility  (EMC)   for
electronics  equipment  which  complements  and  strengthens
Flomerics' core thermal-simulation business.

Flomerics  has  been  increasingly  aware  of  the   growing
importance  of EMC and its strong association  with  thermal
design.   As   the  operating  frequencies  of   electronics
equipment  of almost all kinds increase, EMC is becoming  an
increasingly  critical factor in electronics design.  Strict
electromagnetic  radiation limits, imposed  by  legislation,
are  now  applied  to virtually all classes  of  electronics
equipment  -  and,  in  almost every case,  the  design  and
optimisation  of  the electromagnetic shielding  is  tightly
coupled with the thermal design of the equipment.

There  is  therefore an enormous potential  for  a  new  EMC
design  tool,  coupled to a thermal-analysis tool  (such  as
FLOTHERM),   offering   users   these   two   key   analysis
functionalities  within  the same  software  package.  KCC's
software  provides exactly the required analysis capability.
As  a  result  of the acquisition, Flomerics  will  be  well
placed  to merge this with FLOTHERM, and to market  this  to
both  the  existing  and potential FLOTHERM  customer  base,
thereby achieving two major benefits:

-    Opening  up  a  potential market which,  the  directors
     estimate,  could be of comparable size to  the  current
     FLOTHERM market.
-    Strengthening Flomerics' position within  the  FLOTHERM
     market by providing a unique combination of best-in-class
     tools addressing two, related, critical problems facing
     electronics manufacturers

The  second  market opportunity arises from  KCC's  existing
business  in microwave and antenna applications.  For  these
markets, Flomerics offers KCC enhanced international support
infrastructure  and  sales channels in US  and   continental
Europe.  Leveraging this infrastructure on behalf  of  KCC's
existing   products  will  enable  KCC   to   address   more
effectively the global market for high-frequency  electronic
analysis  software - currently estimated at  £15m  annually,
and growing at 25% per annum.

Board Appointments

Dr Thomas Robert Rowbotham, age 58, who will continue as non-
executive  Chairman of KCC, will join the Board of Flomerics
Group  PLC  as a non-executive director and Deputy Chairman.
In  return for his services he will receive a fee of £15,500
per  annum,  and  under the terms of his appointment  he  is
subject  to a three-month notice period. Save for the  above
information, there are no further disclosures required under
the AIM rules relating to directors.

Dr  Rowbotham is a specialist in microwave transmission, and
has  spent  the  bulk  of his career  at  BT,  where  he  is
currently  Director  of Technology, a  Group  wide  function
responsible  for  the long-term technical direction  of  the
company. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering,
a  member of the IEEE Foundation, and Vice Chairman  of  the
Electronics and Communications Division of the  IEE.  He  is
also visiting Professor at Kings College, London.

The  directors  are confident that Dr Rowbotham's  extensive
industry knowledge and experience will enable him to make  a
major contribution to the Group Board.

Dr  David  Johns, age 34, will continue as Managing Director
of  KCC and will join the board of Flomerics Limited.  After
reading Communication Engineering at Plymouth University  he
worked  for  Plessey  Microwave as a  research  engineer  on
surface  acoustic  wave  devices  for  direct  broadcast  by
satellite  receivers and TV filters. In 1989 he  joined  KCC
where  he  secured several defence contracts  and  performed
research  and  development work on aerospace, lightning  and
electromagnetic compatibility projects.  In 1991  he  became
Marketing  Director of KCC and initiated the development  of
the  Microstripes  product.   He  was  awarded  a  PhD  from
Nottingham   University  in  1996  and  appointed   Managing
Director of KCC in 1997.

Flomerics  has,  during the first half of 1999,  achieved  a
continuing   strengthening  and  expansion   in   its   core
businesses,   and,   through  the  strategically   important

As  a  consequence,  the  directors  continue  to  view  the
remainder of 1999 and beyond with confidence.

Notes:

1.   The consolidated profit and loss account does not
  include amounts for taxation or earnings per share for the
  six-month periods ended 30 June 1999 and 1998. The directors
  consider that it would not be meaningful to present these
  amounts for the half-year as the trading pattern of the
  company is such that all of its profits are typically
  generated in the last four months of the year.

2.   The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31
  December 1998 are not the company's statutory accounts but
  are extracted from the audited statutory accounts. The
  statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 1998,
  which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies,
  received an unqualified audit report which did not contain a
  statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act
  1985.

3.   Earnings per share for the audited 12 months to
  31.12.98 has been calculated on the profit on ordinary
  activities after taxation and the shares in issue during the
  year of 2,560,676 (1997: 2,560,676). In accordance with
  FRS14 issued in October 1998 the fully diluted earnings per
  share was 10.1 pence per share (0.03p 1997). The diluted
  number of shares was 2,560,676 (1997: 2,568,002).

4.   Copies of this announcement are available at the
  registered office of the company (81 Bridge Road, Hampton
  Court, Surrey, KT8 9HH) for a period of 14 days from the
  date of this announcement.
