Longmead Group plc ("Longmead" or "the Company")

Sale of Building

In  July 2003, the Company announced a series of restructuring measures to be implemented in light
of  the changing market place for its products, including the transfer of warehousing to the  main
factory premises thereby releasing the existing warehousing building for sale.

Longmead  announces the completion of the sale of its warehouse premises, on 19 January 2004,  for
�850,000  before  expenses.   The  sale price compares with the current  balance  sheet  value  of
�480,000.

The proceeds of the disposal will be used to reduce bank borrowings and provide additional working
capital.
