Trading Update

Charles Taylor Consulting plc ("the Company") provides the following trading update, prior to entering the close period for its results for the six months to 30 June 2010, which will be announced in late August 2010.

Overall trading continues to be in line with the trends indicated in the Company's Interim Management Statement issued on 19 May.

There has been a continued good performance from our Insurance Companies Run-off business (where there are large minority interests) and from our Adjusting Services businesses. However, as indicated previously, this has been offset by the necessity to increase personnel costs in our Management Services business, because of the continued increase in Standard Club tonnage, and a slow start from the newly created Charles Taylor Insurance Services ("CTIS").

During the second half we will seek to mitigate the impact of the additional costs in the Management Services business and to improve revenue and contract profitability at CTIS. Additionally, the new Signal management fee arrangement, which is expected to benefit performance, comes into place from the fourth quarter.
