Not for release, publication or distribution in whole or in part, in or into the

                      ANGLE plc ('ANGLE' or the 'Company')

                Statement re. Possible Offer and Rule 2.10 announcement



The Board of ANGLE confirms that it has received an approach which may or may
not lead to an offer being made for the Company.  The indicative proposal letter
envisages a price of 60.0 pence for each ANGLE ordinary share and that the
consideration would be satisfied in full by the issue of new ordinary shares in
the acquiring company.


The Board of ANGLE, which is being advised by Collins Stewart Europe Limited, is
evaluating the approach on its merits, currently on a non-exclusive basis, and
will update shareholders accordingly.  The Board wishes to stress that there can
be no certainty that this approach will lead to an offer being made for the
Company.


A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.


The Board remains focused on creating shareholder value, principally by
enhancing the value of its existing portfolio of investee companies.  The Board
remains optimistic as to ANGLE's prospects for the foreseeable future.


This announcement is not being made with the agreement or approval of the
potential offeror and there can be no certainty that an offer will be made nor
as to the terms on which an offer might be made.


In accordance with Rule 2.10 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the
Company confirms that it has 27,132,931 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in
issue.




The ISIN reference for these securities is GB0034330679.

Dealing disclosure requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
'Code'), if any person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in
1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of the Company, all 'dealings'
in any 'relevant securities' of the Company (including by means of an option in
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must
be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30pm (London time) on the London
business day following the date of the relevant transaction.  This requirement
will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared,
unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which
the 'offer period' otherwise ends.  If two or more persons act together pursuant
to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an '
interest' in 'relevant securities' of the Company, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.


Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant
securities' of the Company by the Company or by any of its respective '
associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the
London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.


A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant
securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk .


'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in price or securities.
In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by virtue of the
ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or
derivative referenced to, securities.


Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can be found on the
Panel's website.  If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required
to disclose a 'dealing' under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
