A.G. BARR p.l.c.

Results for the year to 27th January 2001 anticipated to be ahead of
expectations


A.G. Barr p.l.c., the Scottish based manufacturer of soft drinks announces
that, as a result of strong trading, Profit on ordinary activities before
taxation for the year to 27th January 2001 is expected to exceed £13.5
million. The detailed preliminary announcement of the results for that year
will be made on 28th March 2001.

I think this is good news, as the shares were already on a fairly low prospective p/e, and also i believe a stake changed hands a week or two ago at a price above the prevailing share price at the time.

Hang on in there, as i feel there could be good things to come.

DYOR.
