Trading Statement

Next Fifteen Communications Plc Next Fifteen Communications Group plc Pre-Close Trading Update 11th August 2008 Next Fifteen Communications Group plc ("Next Fifteen" or "the Group"), the international public relations consultancy group is issuing a pre-close trading update ahead of its preliminary results for the year ended 31 July 2008. Next Fifteen is pleased to report that it is trading in line with expectations and again expects to announce strong revenues, profits and cash flows in its full-year results on 14 October 2008. Next Fifteen expects to see further revenue growth in the coming year from its existing businesses. Margins should also continue to improve as the benefits of scale and operational improvements carried out by the Group flow through. The Group will bear higher than expected interest and currency charges due to contracts previously taken out that are now out of range, if the significant reductions in US interest rates and the strength of the Euro over the last six months continue into the coming financial year. The Group continues to add significant new clients such as Sybase, Autodesk, Lawson and ShopStyle. It has also extended relationships with a number of existing clients during the last quarter including AMD, Symantec, Ubisoft and Aliph. Will Whitehorn, Chairman of Next Fifteen, said: "The markets for technology and consumer public relations consultancy services remain robust. As a result, the Group is cautiously optimistic that solid growth will continue into the coming year as our reputation for work in both traditional and social media continues to attract corporate clients who wish to focus their marketing budgets on consumers and opinion formers by combining both online and offline media effectively." -0- *T Enquiries: Next Fifteen -------------------------------- Tim Dyson, Chief Executive 001 415 350 2801 David Dewhurst, Finance Director 07974 161183 Inferno Communications -------------------------------- Paul Mackender Matt Stewart +44 (0)20 8735 9752 +44 (0)20 8735 9733 Paul.mackender@infernopr.com Matt.stewart@infernopr.com Landsbanki Securities (UK) -------------------------------- Fred Walsh +44 (0)20 7426 9000 *T
