For immediate release 20th September 2013

ASSOCIATED BRITISH ENGINEERING PLC

("ABE" )

Following the publication of the Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2013, and the holding of the Annual General meeting today, I can report that:

All of the Resolutions taken at the AGM were duly passed.

The trading at our principal subsidiary, British Polar Engines Limited (BPE) is broadly in line with the company's budget and profitability shows an improvement from the comparable period last year. BPE's trading environment remains competitive and while it is always susceptible to the variations in its markets the level of enquiries and orders is more encouraging than in the recent past.

We announced earlier in the year, the investment in Akoris Trading Limited. Akoris has made a number of commodity finance proposals, which are currently being assessed and negotiated with counterparties. The company has identified a number of potential commodity assets, which are of interest and which it is actively reviewing. The Board of ABE and BPE consider that these prospects are of sufficient merit to extend the initial review period of Akoris.
