FIELDENS PLC



Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 31 December 2000





Chairman's Statement



In the six months ended 31 December 2000 the Company made an unaudited loss
after taxation of #46,004 on turnover of #1,453,778 (six months ended 31
December 1999:  unaudited profit after taxation #13,000 on turnover of #
1,740,331).



The weakened performance of our agricultural wheel and tyre business that we
saw in the second half of last year continued into this year.  The 16% overall
reduction in sales against the same period last year was only achieved after
an improved performance from the ATV and garden machinery division which
contributed both 25% higher sales than the same period last year and an
increased contribution to profit. The second half is normally the better half
of the year but, despite a good January, demand is now being adversely
affected as a consequence of the foot-and-mouth outbreak. It therefore seems
unlikely that profits in the second half will fully offset the losses of the
first half.



Net cash at #426,882 was lower than last December (#537,043).  The movements
in working capital shown on the balance sheet result mainly from the normal
transient commercial opportunities that we face and do not reflect any
underlying change.



I am disappointed not to be able to make a more positive statement about the
new strategic direction indicated in my last statement, but work is
continuing.
