AGM Statement

Wynnstay Group PLC 22 March 2005 WYNNSTAY GROUP PLC ('Wynnstay Group') AGM STATEMENT Wynnstay Group, the agricultural supplies and services business based in Wales, will be holding its Annual General Meeting today and Chairman, John Davies, will issue the following statement on current trading, 'Trading in the first four months of the new financial year has been in line with expectations and the Group continues to benefit from the broad spread of its agricultural activities. The Feeds Division saw some reduction in demand for animal feeds as a result of the mild winter weather but the Arable Division benefited from the favourable planting conditions for cereal seeds. Our Retail Division continues to make good progress, with strong demand in pet and equine products. It is also seeing encouraging results from its programme to upgrade those stores acquired with the purchase of Eifionydd Farmers Association. Foxmoor Limited, the pot plant producer, which now trades as a fourth division within the Group, has a full order book from major retailers and garden centres for both the spring and summer periods. In joint ventures, Wyro Developments has sold the first two phases of its housing development at Newtown, in Powys, and has started work on a company-owned site in North Wales.'
