                             AGM Trading Statement

Hunting PLC ('Hunting'), the international energy services company, will be
holding its AGM today. Richard Hunting, Chairman of Hunting, will be making the
following statement:

'Hunting's first quarter results reflect a continuation of the strong activity
experienced throughout 2005. Oil and gas companies have increased their capital
expenditure to offset weak reserve replacement resulting in additional growth
opportunities for the oil service industry. Our order books are strong, profit
margins are increasing and the current year will see a full year of the benefits
from the investments in additional capacity made in 2005.

Gibson Energy's truck transportation continues to profit from the heavy oil
expansion projects in Alberta, Canada. Its marketing activities, including Moose
Jaw Asphalt, are benefiting from the continued volatility in the differentials
between heavy and light crude oil prices. Hunting Energy's performance is being
driven by increased drilling activities worldwide. Tenkay has high commodity
prices and is fully operational following the hurricane disruption last year.

Overall, trading is in line with the Board's expectations. We expect the strong
trading conditions will continue for the remainder of 2006 and the Board
continues to view the future with confidence.'

                                     -ENDS-
