                               112th ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING



                                      2 AUGUST 2006





Halma, the leading safety, health and sensor technology group, is holding its AGM later
today, at which Geoff Unwin, Chairman, will make the following comments on trading and
outlook:



'Halma has generated healthy organic growth during the first Quarter and is trading in
line with the Board's expectations.  Last year the Group benefited from a recovery in our
Water business (within the Health and Analysis sector) and resumed widespread organic
growth.  This momentum in underlying organic growth across the Group has continued and
prospects for the current year remain positive.



'Our Infrastructure Sensors sector is building on the growth which started to emerge
during the latter half of last year and is benefiting from the impact of the greater
strategic action and investment which commenced a year ago.  Actions continue to build and
leverage sales internationally including new products and distribution agreements in the
US, European and Asian markets.



'Our Health and Analysis and Industrial Safety sectors are progressing well despite the
small negative impact of a stronger US Dollar.  Mikropack, the German photonics company
acquired in April 2006, has been integrated into the Ocean Optics business successfully
and is meeting our expectations.'
