AGM Statement and Trading Update
At today's Annual General Meeting of Zotefoams Nigel Howard, Chairman, will make
the following statement:
'At the time of the preliminary results announcement for the 12 months ended 31
December 2007 on 4 March 2008, I commented that the Polyolefin business
performed well in 2007 and trading for the first two months in 2008 was in line
with our expectations and that the development of High-Performance Polymers
(HPP) continues to progress.
I am pleased to be able to report that the strong sales growth experienced in
the second half of 2007 has continued in 2008 with strong trading and profit
growth in the first four months of this year compared with the equivalent
periods in the prior years.
Our Polyolefin foam business has experienced good sales growth in all our major
geographic markets, enhanced by the strength of the Euro in this period. Sales
in the HPP segment are currently below levels experienced at this point last
year. However, during May we are scheduled to make the first shipment of ZOTEK
(R) F material for the large application on the Boeing 737 aircraft announced on
3 March 2008. We continue to make progress in our High-Performance Polymers
segment and although timing of revenues remains difficult to predict we remain
of the view that the growth prospects from this segment are very exciting.
We therefore remain confident of the Company's future prospects'.
Zotefoams plc expects to announce its interim results for the six months ended
30 June 2008 on 5 August 2008.
