                    Trading Statement and Notice of results


Michelmersh Brick Holdings plc (AIM: MBH) (the "Company"), the specialist brick,
land development and landfill company, is completing preparation of its 2007
accounts under IFRS for the first time and announces that it will report its
preliminary results for the 12 months to 31 December 2007 on 22 April 2008.

The Company's stated accounting policies require that its assets are subject to
a full independent valuation every two years. The revaluation as at 31 December
2007 will show a significantly higher overall value in land assets than had been
previously expected. This will, however, also result in a correspondingly higher
depreciation and impairment charge against the trading businesses.
