                                 AGM STATEMENT

At Carclo plc's annual general meeting, held earlier today, all the resolutions
were duly passed. Commenting on current trading George Kennedy, chairman, said:

'The year is progressing broadly in line with expectations. Demand has remained
weak in the first half and therefore we have extended the programme of
rationalisation and cost reduction in our UK operations. The second half will
benefit from good growth in the Czech Republic and China and from new business
in our specialist areas of medical and optical plastics and automotive lighting.
'

'As I said in June, although economic uncertainties persist in the short term,
we remain confident that our global strategy will deliver positive momentum.'
