AGM Statement

Pentagon Protection PLC 04 May 2004 Pentagon Protection Plc ('Pentagon' or 'the Company') AGM Statement At the Company's AGM this morning all resolutions were passed. The following is the text of the statement at the meeting made by David Thomas, Chairman of the Company. Pentagon's first AGM since listing on AIM provides me with the opportunity to update you with a report of the progress that we have been making since September 2003. As I have already detailed in the 2003 Annual Report, the biggest single achievement has been the acquisition of Filmtek, the details of which you may access in my Chairman's Statement. However, what has been more significant has been the sharpening of our focus to enhance the safety and security performance of glass. The adverse developments in the UK laws of automotive tinting have impacted Pentagon's business, as described in the Annual Report, and have helped catalyse the appeal of our protective product, SupaGlass, within the automotive sector. We have made strong progress in securing interest from motor manufacturers in not only SupaGlass related protection, but also in legal solar protective tints. The VW contract announced in September 2003 will begin to be executed in the coming months on the VW marque of cars. In addition, we have secured commitments from at least three other automotive manufacturers to avail of our products. Your Company is also making inroads into the potentially lucrative international markets, both in building protection (with the acquisition of Filmtek) and automotive master franchises. There are a number of major building construction projects for which Pentagon's services are being considered in the Middle East, primarily as a result of evolving tensions in the area. In the automotive sector we have commenced business through our representatives in Kuwait, UAE and Cyprus, and are entertaining strong discussions with representatives from certain countries in Central Asia. This international progress combined with a sharpened focus in marketing anti-terrorist protection in the London area, including conversations conducted with a number of blue chip companies therein, are reinforcing the Directors' confidence that the strategic decisions we made to sharpen the Company's focus in the area of protection are paying off. I look forward very much to reporting the specific successes of these activities in the weeks and months to come.
