09-10-09	Clyde Process Solutions PLC - New Order Awarded	PRN
9 October 2009 `Clyde Process Solutions plc` `("CPS" or the "Group")` `£1.1 million order secured from world leading cement producer` Clyde Process Solutions plc (AIM: CPSP), a global provider of pneumatic conveying and air filtration solutions for process industries, announces that it has been awarded a £1.1 million order by one of the world's leading cement producers. This new order has been secured for deployment within one of the cement producer's plants located in Eastern Europe. CPS will supply this plant with a pneumatic conveying system that will be utilised to transport fly ash within their cement producing facility. Fly ash is a waste material produced predominately from the power generation industry when burning coal. Fly ash is commonly used as an alternative material and fuel across a wide range of process industries. The cement industry utilises fly ash as an alternative material to mineral in the production of finished cement. As such, the cement industry represents a significant opportunity for the Group with this order providing a basis for future growth. Commenting on this order, Alex Stewart, Chief Executive of Clyde Process Solutions plc said: "This is a significant order to have secured within the European cement market and from one of the world's leading cement producers. Our ability to communicate the return on investment and energy efficient benefits of our technology against strong competition was an integral element in securing this order from this customer. "The order, which is our first fly ash pneumatic conveying project for the cement industry, was secured at a competitive level of contribution and in line with management expectations. This contract win will form the launchpad of an additional sales strategy for the cement industry. "Our sales pipeline of opportunities within the cement industry has grown, particularly within Europe in the last quarter, and we will aim to secure additional orders from this industry before the end of this financial year."

07-09-09	Clyde Process Solutions PLC - Successful resolution of contract	PRN
Clyde Process Solutions plc `("CPS" or the "Group")` `Successful Resolution of Turkish Fertilizer Contract` Clyde Process Solutions plc (AIM: CPSP), a global provider of pneumatic conveying and air filtration solutions for process industries, is pleased to announce the successful resolution of a long running contractual dispute with a Turkish producer of fertilizer products. It is expected this will contribute an additional unforecasted £0.9 million to the Group's earnings during the current financial year. CPS provided the fertilizer producer with a range of material handling systems that were installed on their fertilizer pellet plant. However, the customer declined to pay the contract in full, which resulted in the Group initiating legal proceedings in Turkey thirteen years ago. The Group has relentlessly pursued the full recovery of this debt, but felt it prudent to fully provide the debt in its accounts. The successful outcome to the court proceedings and the receipt of the debt in cash now enables CPS to release the bad debt provision built up on the Group's balance sheet. The final amount of £0.9 million consists of an award from the Turkish courts as well as interest covering the long delay in resolving this payment. Commenting on the successful resolution of this contract, Alex Stewart, Chief Executive of Clyde Process Solutions plc said: "We are delighted to close this contract after a thirteen year period and I wish to thank, in particular, our legal and commercial teams for their perseverance and determination in securing this outcome. This recovered item will contribute an additional unforecasted £ 0.9 million to our earnings result and also strengthens our cash flow in this current financial period."

01-09-09	Clyde Process Solutions PLC - Pre-close Trading Statement	PRN
1 September 2009 `Clyde Process Solutions plc` `("CPS" or the "Group")` `Pre-Close Trading Update` Clyde Process Solutions plc (AIM: CPSP), a global provider of pneumatic conveying and air filtration solutions for process industries, is pleased to provide the following pre-close trading update as it enters its close period for the six months ending 31 August 2009. The Group is pleased to announce that trading performance has been slightly ahead of market expectations in the first half. This strong performance has been achieved despite the current challenging macro-economic environment within the Group's key customer markets. The Group has also benefited from the full implementation of its cost savings initiatives. Furthermore, the Group has been buoyed by the creation of a strong pipeline of opportunities across diverse industries through the implementation of focused marketing campaigns. Whilst timing and decision-making processes for customers' capital investments remains difficult to predict with any degree of certainty, the Group continues to work closely with prospective customers to ensure that when decisions are reached, the Group is ideally placed to execute orders without delay. As announced in May 2009, revised terms with CPS's bank and an amended banking facility have been agreed during the period, with a one off facility fee charge of approximately £445k and competitive increases in bank interest rate margins. The Board felt it appropriate to renegotiate the Group's banking facility in order to provide long-term funding and suitable levels of headroom given the backdrop of the current macro-economic environment. The Group's order book at the end of July 2009 stood at £25.3 million (July 2008: £34.9 million). Solid progress has been made in the execution of the order book to revenue since March 2009 and the Group anticipates its order book will strengthen as opportunities convert in the coming months. The July 2009 order book includes two postponed contracts in the steel industry, which between them contribute £1.7 million to this figure. The Group was informed that both of these contracts would remain dormant until 2010, however, one of these contracts is currently being steadily executed due to the increased demand for this customer's products. The food industry remains the Group's largest key customer market during this period, with significant progress secured within sugar. The Group has won several contracts, predominately within North America, to provide a range of pneumatic conveying solutions capable of handling sugar within the production facilities of some of the world's most prominent suppliers. These successes are initiating the creation of a global strategy focused on generating close customer contact with existing and prospective suppliers within the sugar industry, which the Group is confident of converting into enquiries and orders in the forthcoming period. Alex Stewart, Chief Executive of Clyde Process Solutions plc said: "Our customer-focused sales and marketing initiatives have generated both a strong result for the current period and a pipeline of opportunities we aim to convert during the next six months of this financial year. Our ability to communicate the economic and environmental benefits provided by our solutions has been tested in what continues to be a very challenging trading environment. However, our focus for the second half of this financial year is to continue to convert our order book and the significant potential in our sales pipeline."
