                                 Trading Update 
 
 
The  Board's outlook statement, issued with  API's Final Results announcement on 
June 8th, indicated that trading in the early part of the new financial year had 
been  in line  with the  second half  of 2010/11. After  completion of the first 
quarter,  it can be confirmed that activity and profitability levels are running 
significantly  ahead of expectations  with the Laminates  and Holographics units 
performing  particularly strongly.   Whilst there  remains some  residual impact 
from raw material costs on our foils businesses, especially solvents and resins, 
the  Board's outlook for the full year is  now anticipated to be ahead of market 
forecasts. 
 
In  the light  of this  announcement, the  Group does  not expect to provide any 
further  general guidance on the full year  outlook at its upcoming AGM on 27th 
July.
