                         INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

                   FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2007

The Board of Chloride Group PLC ("Chloride" or the "Company") is pleased to
provide the following interim management statement covering trading for the
third quarter of the year.

The positive trends which enabled the Company to deliver increases of 31% in
sales, 43% in operating profit and 39% in earnings per share for the first half
of the financial year have continued through the third quarter.  The product
order book again increased, and the operating margin has continued to strengthen
against the prior year.  Accordingly the full year results are expected to be
slightly ahead of management's previous expectations.

Organic sales growth was ahead of industry forecasts, indicating that we gained
market share in our main geographic markets.

In Europe we continued to make good progress, both organically and from the
recent acquisitions of Cener, Spain, Masterpower Electronics, UK and ASTE,
France.  We were proud to receive, in December 2007, the Frost and Sullivan
European UPS Company of the Year 2007 Award for exceptional growth in all
aspects of our European business.

In the Middle East performance has been strong in the energy and oil and gas
sectors.

In Asia Pacific we continued to expand rapidly, particularly through our
partnership with DB Power Electronics in India and our acquisition of Ascor
Power Systems in Singapore.

Commenting, Chief Executive Keith Hodgkinson said: "We continue to invest
throughout the business in expanding our solutions infrastructure and geographic
reach in line with our strategy for growth.  Orders remain strong and visibility
of further opportunities in the fourth quarter give us confidence in the
positive outlook for this financial year and the year ahead."
