Carclo plc, the technology led plastics company, is pleased to make the following statement on trading for the financial year ended 31 March 2009 and outlook for the 2009/10 financial year. Carclo will announce its preliminary results for the 2008/09 financial year on 9 June 2009.

The Board is pleased to report that the group continues to trade in line with our expectations at the time of our Interim Statement in November 2008. The resilience of our specialist medical and optical businesses, together with strong design and development revenues in our specialist lighting business, have helped to offset the impact of weaker demand in the group’s more difficult electronics and automotive markets.

Carclo plc announces its results for the six months ended 30 September 2008
