Statement re Possible Offer

Jarvis Securities plc

                      ("Jarvis" or "the Group")

                     Statement re Possible Offer

On 13 May 2008, Jarvis announced that it had received an  unsolicited
approach to acquire  its only trading  subsidiary, Jarvis  Investment
Management  plc,   at  a   value  in   excess  of   Jarvis's   market
capitalisation and that the board  was considering its options  which
could include consideration of a sale of Jarvis.

No offer has been made at a level which reflects the underlying value
of the  business  and accordingly  the  Group confirms  that  it  has
terminated all  talks and  is no  longer engaged  in any  discussions
regarding a  potential  offer  for the  Group  or  Jarvis  Investment
Management plc.

The Group continues  to trade  ahead of  management expectations  and
expects to release its interim results for the 6 months ended 30 June
in late July.
