                   ANNOUNCES LETTINGS IN FRENCH PROPERTIES


The Board of CLS is pleased to announce new lettings at two of the Company's

GEFCO, a subsidiary of PSA Peugeot Citroen, has taken a new institutional
lease of 1,175 m(2) (12,629 sq ft) at a total of FRF 2,850 per m(2) (#24.35

Marchand, Courbevoie. The space was previously let at FRF 1,338 per m(2). This
represents an annual increase of FRF 1,776,000 (#162,935), i.e. an increase of
113% over the previous rent payable.

At 53/55 rue Capitaine Guynemer an existing tenant, TEVA Pharma, a Nasdaq
quoted company with a market capitalisation in excess of USD 5 billion has
taken an additional institutional lease for 214 m(2) (2,300 sq ft), paying a
rent of FRF 3,000 per m(2) (#25.64 per sq ft). The premises were previously
let at FRF 1,156 per m(2). This increase of FRF 394,600 (#36,200) p.a.
represents an increase of 162% over the previous rent payable.

CLS Holdings plc's Executive Chairman, Sten Mortstedt, said:

"These lettings demonstrate the large increases in rents obtained in Paris for
new lettings over the last 2 years for good quality buildings. I am very
pleased that through active management of our French properties we have been
able to increase the rental income to today's market level and hereby realised
a small part of the reversionary potential of our Parisian portfolio."
