The following statement was made at the Inveresk Plc AGM held this morning at

"The directors are pleased to report that the company has enjoyed a strong
period of trading since the beginning of the year despite all the uncertainties
it faced prior to the successful recapitalisation and refinancing of the company
in April. The directors expect to announce the company's interim results for the
six months to 30 June 2003 on or around 28 July 2003 and anticipate that these
results will show operating profits of no less than #2.3m and pre-tax profits in
excess of #1.5m for the first half of the year. No tax charge is anticipated.


In spite of challenging market conditions, the directors believe that the
company is well positioned and are optimistic about Inveresk's prospects for the
remainder of the year and beyond."
