Notice of Results

Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC 18 April 2008 18 April 2008 Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC Notice of Results Michelmersh Brick Holdings plc (AIM: MBH) (the 'Company'), the specialist brick, land development and landfill company, is pleased to confirm that current trading remains satisfactory. Furthermore sales and pre-tax profits, before impairment and depreciation charges, for the year to 31 December 2007 are expected to be in line with market expectation. On 31 March 2008 the Company announced that its stated accounting policies require a full independent valuation of its assets to be undertaken every two years and that the revaluation as at 31 December 2007 (undertaken by Gerald Eve) will show a significantly higher overall value in land assets than had been expected previously. This will, however, also result in a correspondingly higher depreciation and impairment charge against the trading businesses. The level of any such depreciation or impairment charges are yet to be finalised with the Company's auditors. The Board also announces that the Company has not yet completed the audit of the accounts for the 12 months to 31 December 2007. The Board had invited a new auditor to undertake the 2007 audit, to be reported under IFRS for the first time. However, during the course of the audit, the auditor's independence was compromised and the auditor resigned on 16 April 2008. The Board has now invited Smith & Williamson to undertake and complete the 2007 audit. Smith & Williamson have accepted the appointment, subject to completing their formal client acceptance procedure. Smith & Williamson was the Company's auditor until 2005. It is not now possible for the Company to announce its preliminary results on the scheduled date of 22 April. The Board is confident that the results will be announced within the statutory reporting period and anticipates that they will be announced by the end of May. The Company will provide a further update once it is able to confirm a date for the preliminary announcement of results.
