encourage the Board to believe Proventec is moving in the right direction, 
including high profile contract wins and expansion in the food manufacturing 
market. 
 
"With a heavily reduced debt burden and a clearer capital structure, the Group 
is in a stronger position to deal with the commercial pressures of the current 
economic climate." 
 
Shareholders will have noted the announcements of 8 July 2010 and 6 September 
2010 and a further announcement in respect of the proposed Scheme of Arrangement 
will be made in due course.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
The last few months have seen a considerable amount of negotiation and 
discussion with the Company's principal stakeholders over the re-structuring of 
the debt burden affecting the Company.  The culmination of these discussions and 
negotiations is encapsulated in the formal announcement of the agreement reached 
between the Representative Committee of the Loan Note Holders of GBP15 million 
8.5% Loan Notes and InnoConcepts NV, the Company's largest shareholder and 
ultimate guarantor of the Loan Notes.  The proposed Scheme of Arrangement which 
is to be put before the Companies Court (part of the Chancery Division of the 
High Court) will result in fundamental changes to the Company's financial 
structure, namely: 
 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Cash investment of GBP2.5 million into equity at 57 pence;   | 
|    |                                                              | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Reduction in Loan Notes from GBP14.88 million to GBP7        | 
|    | million;                                                     | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Conversion of the balance of GBP7.88 million Loan Notes and  | 
|    | GBP3.5 million of other debt into equity at 57 pence;        | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | The cancellation of warrants for 5,625,000 ordinary shares;  | 
|    | and                                                          | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | The surrender and of options to directors and employees for  | 
|    | 1,013,000 ordinary shares.                                   | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
These changes will greatly simplify and strengthen the Group's capital 
structure. 
 
As a further consequence of these changes, the Board has resolved to change the 
Group's annual reporting date and this accounting period is being extended to an 
eighteen month reporting period to 30 September 2010.  This date of 30 September 
will become the Group's usual annual reporting date in the future. As a 
consequence, the Board expects that the next results announcement (for the 
eighteen month reporting period to 30 September 2010) will be made before the 
end of December 2010 and the interim results for the period ending 31 March 2011 
will be announced during May 2011. 
 
The results which are reported today are the twelve months to 31 March 2010 
which are unaudited and stated before impairments, write-offs and the capital 
re-construction envisaged by the Scheme of Arrangement. 
 
The Company, as you by now will be aware, had been in discussions with the 
former largest shareholder in the Company about supporting an equity investment 
or alternative loan finance package.  These discussions appeared to be reaching 
an amicable and successful conclusion in the middle of the year. However, with 
short notice, our major shareholder ended those discussions and furthermore 
advised the Company that it would not provide any further financial support. 
Because of this abrupt turn of events your Board had no alternative other than 
to advise the Stock Exchange of the Company's re-financing issues and to request 
that Proventec's shares be suspended while the Board sought alternative 
financial support. 
 
This, as you will have seen from the announcement initially made on 8 July 2010 
and confirmed in the announcement on 6 September 2010, has been achieved. The 
suspension of the Company's shares will remain in place until the Scheme of 
Arrangement is sanctioned by the Court and the refinancing is therefore finally 
completed.  It is anticipated that this will happen during November 2010. 
 
The trading climate remains extremely challenging and will require the directors 
and staff to re-double their focus on the trading and development of the Company 
but I am indebted to David Chestnutt, Chief Executive, and Thomas Stücken, Chief 
Commercial Officer, who have borne the brunt of these financial and structural 
challenges and worked tirelessly to ensure the Company's future for the benefit 
of all the Company's stakeholders.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT 
 
The Chairman in his statement has summarised the considerable changes the Board 
has been able to make to the Company's capital structure following the long and 
diligent negotiations over recent months. 
 
The majority of 2010 to date has involved the Board's efforts maintaining the 
financial integrity of the Group.  This has been against an economic environment 
which threatens to sink back into recession, although in reality it is doubtful 
that we have even come out of recession.  The sales across all Group companies 
have been affected but most pressure has been felt in the machine sales 
divisions of Osprey where the sale of its specialist dry steam equipment has 
suffered along with that of many other industrial equipment providers due to a 
significant fall off in the purchases of capital equipment. 
 
The key figures in the Group's results for the first twelve months to 31 March 
2010 of our eighteen month reporting period to 30 September 2010 are: 
 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Turnover, after adjusting for the discontinued CryoJet       | 
|    | operation and for Frank GmbH not being owned for a full year | 
|    | in the corresponding period, fell by 8%                      | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Gross profit fell by 3.5% to 38.6%                           | 
|    |                                                              | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Overheads, after adjusting for Frank GmbH not being owned    | 
|    | for a full year in the corresponding period, were reduced by | 
|    | 10%                                                          | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
Despite the difficult trading picture there have been some notable successes 
which encourage the Board to believe Proventec is moving in the right direction: 
 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Proventec Healthcare won a competitive tender for a minimum  | 
|    | two year contract with the NHS Supply Chain to provide       | 
|    | brushes, mops, buckets and associated products worth an      | 
|    | estimated GBP4 million over this period.                     | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Received a first order from a major global food manufacturer | 
|    | to provide a dry steam cleaning in place (CIP) assembly for  | 
|    | two new food conveyor lines with anticipated follow on       | 
|    | orders worth over GBP1 million                               | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Awarded second stage funding of GBP300,000 for the           | 
|    | development of a hand hygiene system                         | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| ·  | Launched the new "Apollo" range of industrial dry steam      | 
|    | equipment designed, developed and manufactured entirely      | 
|    | within the Group                                             | 
+----+--------------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
The internal operational re-structuring of the Group continues as the Board 
looks to further reduce and manage Group costs and to maximise its resources to 
ensure our best efforts are targeted at the most opportune markets. 
 
These figures have not been subject to audit or impairment review nor do they 
reflect any of the recently agreed capital re-structuring which is subject to 
confirmation by the Courts later this year. 
 
The trading companies in the Group have had to cope with their own normal and 
anticipated commercial pressures which have been exacerbated by the public 
funding issues of their ultimate parent company, Proventec.  I would like to 
thank all our senior management and staff who have continued to carry out their 
own duties in the Group's various trading subsidiaries against this backdrop of 
uncertainty which has not been aided by the Board's inability to keep all those 
informed of our progress due to the confidentiality of our protracted 
negotiations. 
 
As a Board we remain confident that the progress made to date will see a change 
in the fortunes of the Group during 2011 and in subsequent years. 
 
May I thank my Board colleagues for their support and hard work over the last 
twelve months and, with a heavily reduced debt burden and a clearer capital 
structure, the Group is in a stronger position to deal with the commercial 
pressures of the current economic climate.
