Jarvis Securities plc

('Jarvis' or the 'Company')

General Meeting Statement

At its general meeting to be held later today, Andrew Grant, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive will make the following statement:

"Despite the current market conditions, we continue to experience strong trading volumes with September representing the highest number of monthly trades and the highest single day volume to date. Trade volumes in October have remained strong and are currently ahead of those in September.

We have recently signed four more contracts for commercial services, one of which is now live, and we continue to receive a number of enquiries about the services we offer. However, as a result of the market conditions we have had to make provisions against three of our commercial clients, although these are not material in size. Results for the year ending 31 December 2008 will however be ahead of last year and the Board believes will be in line with management's expectations and we anticipate recommending an increased final dividend for the full year.

We have great confidence in our robust and differentiated model in the face of "once in a lifetime" circumstances and remain confident about the outlook for Jarvis."
