Net Asset Value(s)

EPIC Reconstruction PLC 16 April 2007 COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT 16 April 2007 EPIC Reconstruction plc The Directors of EPIC Reconstruction plc wish to announce that the NAV for the end of March 2007 was 61.94p per share. The Manager continues to encourage a conservative valuation policy due to the inherent volatility of distressed investments. This NAV estimate reflects material adjustments to the valuations placed on Abbseal (NAV at 28 February 2007: £1.90m). Abbseal has continued to underperform, despite the restructuring in progress at year end, and as a consequence has now been put into administration. The contributory factors include: - Continued difficult trading conditions within the industry - Increasing glass prices - High levels of competition - Glass demand from the Continent affecting supply - Sales underperformance - Withdrawal of bank funding - Cash calls from the business that, in the context of the prospective performance of the business, could not be justified The Manager has therefore recommended that provisions be put in place in respect of the investment, associated costs and guarantees to third parties.
