For Immediate Release 7 December 2012

C. A. Sperati (The Special Agency) PLC

("CAS" or the "Company")

Director Loan and Trading Update

The Company announces that it has today entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Kevin Jackson, Chairman of CAS, pursuant to a sum of £50,000 advanced to the Company on 26 October 2012 ("Loan"). The agreement provides that the Loan is unsecured, attracts an interest rate of 9 per cent. per annum ("Interest") and the Loan plus accrued Interest is repayable by 26 October 2013 unless fully repaid before then at the Company's option.

The financial year to 31 October 2012 has been another difficult trading year for CAS. This is mainly driven by market conditions and declining revenues from clients which were lost in previous years. Turnover has continued to decline year on year, however, encouragingly there have been some signs of recovery towards the end of the financial year with approximately twenty new clients placing orders since the summer.

The directors of CAS ("Directors") have operated the Company with the minimum number of staff possible and have not taken any of their salaries during the 2012 financial year in an attempt to stabilise cash flow. On top of this, the Company has agreed to the Loan, as described above to free up some working capital to service orders.

It is anticipated that the signs of recovery in the core business will continue into the next financial year. The Directors continue to explore opportunities to exploit the Company's position on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange in an attempt to increase shareholder value.
