    AGM statement


    Sir Aubrey Brocklebank, Non-Executive Chairman of Top Ten Holdings PLC will make the following comments at the Group's Annual General
Meeting to be held at 10.00 am today.

    "Trading is in line with the Board's expectations. The recession is affecting the number of times our customers visit the clubs but the
spend per head has recovered to that of last year. However turnover appears to have stabilised at a reduced level and the benefits of
previous cost cutting are contributing to cash flow.

    As a result of the "Conde Nast" case which overturned the Government's attempt to limit VAT claims to three years, we have made further
claims for VAT refunds which now total some £12 million. The final outcome of this dispute may take several years.

    Your board continues to seek opportunities to dispose of smaller units and will seek restructuring opportunities that benefit
shareholders."
