Interim Management Statement

Castings plc publishes its second interim management statement covering the period 1st October 2009 to 31st January 2010.

We have seen a small increase in demand since the November statement, but as previously stated we do not expect a return to full volumes for some time. This depends on new orders and economic improvements throughout Europe.

The new foundry at William Lee has been brought into use but only at the expense of capacity elsewhere on site.

There are no other material developments to report.

B.J.Cooke, Chairman
