Chemring Group PLC ("Chemring" or "the Group") today provides an update on
trading before entering its close period in respect of its half year results to
30 April 2007, which are expected to be announced on 26 June 2007.

Trading

The Group has performed well in the first half of the year with trading in line
with the Board's expectations. The Group's order book continues to grow and the
Board remains confident that the prospects for 2007 continue to look promising.

New Acquisitions

The Group announced the acquisition of Simmel Difesa S.p.A. on 30 March 2007
for an enterprise value of €72 million (£49 million). This acquisition supports
the Group strategy for the development of its Energetics business in both the
munition and explosive ordnance disposal markets. In its first month within the
Group, the performance of Simmel has been encouraging, and the acquisition is
expected to enhance Chemring's earnings in the first full financial year
post-completion.*
