Ensor Holdings PLC

Acquisition of Technocover Limited

Ensor Holdings PLC ("Ensor" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the
acquisition of 90% of the issued share capital of Technocover Limited
("Technocover"), a manufacturer, supplier and installer of physical security
products, based in mid-Wales (the "Acquisition") for a nominal amount (the
"Consideration").

Technocover's products are used for the protection of Critical National
Infrastructure assets, operated by UK and European Utility companies, including
water, energy, communication and transportation. The Directors believe that
these government-driven, national security initiatives demonstrate resistance
to recessionary pressures.

In the most recent audited accounts which were for the year ended 31 August
2010, Technocover reported sales of £10.3 million and an operating profit of £
290,000, prior to loan write-offs of £542,000 and interest charges of £245,000.
Net assets at that date were £433,000.

The period since the year end has seen further reorganisation of the business,
which, although eliminating its trading profit, has resulted in an underlying
profitable, but under-capitalised business.

Ensor will inject cash of £1 million into Technocover, sourced from a
combination of the Company's cash reserves and bank debt, to complete the
reconstruction of the business.

The Company has agreed to purchase the remaining 10% of Technocover, owned by
two of its current directors, for £1 million after 31 August 2015, subject to
Technocover achieving an operating profit of at least £1.5 million for the two
year period to 31 August 2013.

The Board's expectation is that the Acquisition will result in capitalised
goodwill of approximately £500,000, that it will enhance earnings immediately,
and will represent an excellent return on investment.

Ensor Holdings plc ("Ensor" or "the Group")

Interim results for the period ended 30 September 2011

Chairman's Statement

* Operating profit: up 31%

* Earnings per share: up 27%

* Interim dividend: up 57%

Continued improvement across the Ensor Group has resulted in operating profits
of £607,000 for the half year, a 31% increase on this time last year (2010: £
463,000).

These very pleasing results have been achieved despite the current prolonged
recession within the construction sector and a slow start to the year due to
Bank holidays and extended Easter and Royal Wedding breaks. I am therefore
particularly encouraged for when national economic growth is achieved and when
expected government spending on infrastructure is authorised.

I was able to report six months ago that the Group was debt-free. This position
continues and is improved with net cash of £911,000 being generated over the
last twelve months. Financial expenses are unchanged despite reduced interest
costs, but include slightly increased pension fund deficit charges.

Earnings per share have increased by 27% to 1.4p (2010: 1.1p)

Our operating companies have all made progress since I last reported. Margin
improvements have been achieved at our door and security companies as a result
of the introduction of new profitable products, price enhancements and
advantageous currency movements. Volumes in the packaging division have
increased and strong co-operation with our China office has helped to offset
polythene price increases during the year. The building products division has
improved due to better margins on targeted products in new markets. These
advances have all been made in conjunction with the continued robust control of
costs.

We are continuing to capitalise on our property assets. Slow but positive
progress towards residential planning permission is being made at our site in
Brackley, and land optimisation ideas are being considered for our holdings in
the Midlands.

We have been looking at a number of acquisition opportunities. It is our
intention to ensure that any business that joins the Group will strengthen our
position within our core activities.

Although the second half of the year has started well, there are concerns about
the political and economic turmoil in Europe. This region provides many trading
opportunities for us and so we must therefore remain cautious with our outlook
for the rest of the year.

In my last statement, I spoke of our determination to return to being a
dividend growth stock. I am therefore pleased to announce that the Board has
proposed an interim dividend of 0.275p per share. This is an increase of 57%
against last year (2010: 0.175p). It is our desire to continue an upward
dividend trend but we will react responsibly to the continuing difficult
economic conditions. The interim dividend will be payable on 27 January 2012 to
shareholders registered on 30 December 2011.

As always, our strength lies with our staff who I would like to thank for all
their efforts. I would also like to thank all our shareholders for their
continued support.

Chairman

Notes to the Interim Report

1. Basis of preparation

The unaudited results for the six months have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not constitute
statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim report has not been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting" in that it does not contain full disclosure of accounting
policies and does not detail compliance with other standards. These disclosures
are dealt with in the Group's annual report.

The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2011, prepared under IFRS,
have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and received an unqualified
audit report.

2. Income tax expense

The income tax expense is calculated using the estimated tax rate for the year
ended 31 March 2012.

3 Earningsper share

The calculation of earnings per share for the period is based on the profit for
the period divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue,
being 29,781,819 (2010: 29,445,659). The fully diluted loss per share is based
upon the weighted average of 30,618,074 shares (6 months to 30 September 2010 -
29,484,289 and year ended 31 March 2011 - 29,665,193). The dilution is due to
subsisting share options.

4. Dividends

The directors propose to pay an interim dividend of 0.275 pence per share on 27
January 2012 to shareholders on the register on 30 December 2011 (2010: 0.175
pence per share).
