Interim Results

Goodwin PLC 26 January 2007 GOODWIN PLC INTERIM STATEMENT FOR THE HALF YEAR TO 31ST OCTOBER 2006 The Group pre-tax profit was £2.8 million for the half year ending 31st October 2006, which represents a 34.2% increase over the same period last year. The half year turnover increased to £30.5 million from £26.9 million. The weakness of the US dollar versus the strength of sterling continues to be an obstacle to winning business from the USA and the Pacific Basin countries, but it is pleasing to report that the Group still had as at 31st October 2006 a very healthy forward work load for its products at respectable margins and most of this business has been won from the Pacific Basin countries and the USA. Tight control of cash flow remains a priority because of the Group's increasing levels of activity. The company had as at 31st October 2006 committed to completing the first of two purchases. This purchase will result in a doubling of our vermiculite manufacturing and sales output of insulation products. J. W.
