                                 Trading Update 
 
Although trading conditions in Asia and parts of the Americas have strengthened 
slightly during 2010, North America and Europe continue to be soft with 
significant structural issues in the refining industry.   There has been a 
tendency for the sales process to be longer and the timing of contract awards 
therefore remains difficult to predict. The strong order book with which we 
started the year has cushioned the business somewhat from these issues. 
 
With the full benefit of last year's cost savings of GBP2.8m being delivered 
this year, and our continued focus on cost reduction, we remain on track to meet 
market expectations for the year, though we expect that the results will remain 
weighted towards the second half.
