                        Interim Management Statement


                               14 February 2008



Halma, the leading safety, health and sensor technology group today makes an
Interim Management Statement prior to its financial year end on 29 March 2008.

The trading trends of the first half, as outlined in the half year report
published on 29 November 2007, have continued.  Order intake has continued to
show steady organic growth and all three business sectors are making progress. 
Strategic actions to grow geographically and to deepen our presence in our
markets continue.

In Infrastructure Sensors, we have concluded a JV agreement with a leading
Chinese fire detector supplier, for the design, manufacture and sale of fire
detection products in China.  Our total investment is RMB35 million (£2.5
million) for a 51% ownership with sales from the new company scheduled to start
early in the next financial year.

Riester, our new Health and Analysis business acquired in December 2007, is
meeting our expectations, whilst our Industrial Safety businesses continue to
perform well.

On 25 January 2008, we sold Post Glover Lifelink (PGL) to Metalrax Group plc for
a consideration of US$6 million (£3 million).  PGL was originally part of our
Resistors division which we sold in 2006 and their activities were no longer
core to our future growth plans.  PGL's annualised revenue was £3.4 million and
annualised profit before tax was £0.6 million.

Our financial position remains strong.  We have extended our bank facilities,
with a new 5-year £165 million syndicated revolving credit facility replacing
our existing £60 million facility, on similar terms.  This additional financial
headroom will enable us to continue to make acquisitions in accordance with our
demanding criteria as the right opportunities arise.

The Board expects our full year profit to be within the range of market
expectations for continuing operations and remains confident in the outlook for
the current year and medium term.

The results for the financial year ending 29 March 2008 are expected to be
released on 17 June 2008.
