Interim Management Statement and AGM

The following statement will be made by the Chairman at the Annual General Meeting of the company to be held this afternoon.

There has been no significant change in trading since 1 April or as reported in the Chairman's Statement in the annual accounts. It is anticipated volume will be maintained during the remainder of the 2008 calendar year.

Our main customers are reluctant to forecast volumes for 2009 and hence we cannot forecast our prospects for 2009.
