Interim Management Statement

As required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, UK Coal's Interim Management Statement covers the period from 1 January, 2008, to the date of this announcement. 

Since the end of 2007, there have been no material events or transactions which have affected UK Coal and no material change in its financial position.

As we announced on 18th April, first quarter output from all mining operations was  1.7 million tonnes. Since the end of March output has continued in line with expectations. Similarly, our property business, Harworth Estates, has also performed in line with expectations.

As a consequence, the outlook for the company in 2008 remains positive and the Company remains confident of meeting its expectations for the full year.

UK Coal plc is to hold its Annual General Meeting at 1pm on Tuesday, 20 May, 2008, at the Farmers & Fletchers Hall, London. 

The Chairman will up-date shareholders on trading as stated above and, accordingly, the Company will not issue an AGM statement.
