Trading Statement

Concurrent Technologies PLC 8 October 2001 CONCURRENT TECHNOLOGIES PLC Trading Statement Concurrent Technologies Plc, which designs, produces and markets single board computers known as Multibus II, CompactPCI(R) and VME announces that due to current market conditions the Board currently expects a modest loss in the second half and as a result the profit before tax for the year ended 31 December will be less than the profit before tax reported at the Interim stage. While general market conditions are difficult the Company has been particularly affected by the events of September 11th, following which a number of orders were deferred. As a result, sales in November and December will be significantly less than anticipated, which in turn will affect the Company's profitability. The Board would however stress that it believes the orders are being deferred into the next financial year, rather than lost. The Board confirms that progress continues to be made with the new product range being well received, and the increased marketing effort in the US beginning to develop new potential customers. Progress is also being made regarding the US acquisition mentioned at the time of the Interim Results in August and the Board are hopeful of a positive conclusion to these discussions in due course. 8 October 2001 ENQUIRIES: Concurrent Technologies Plc Tel: 01206 752 626 Glen Fawcett, Managing Director College Hill Tel: 020 7457 2020 Michael Padley Nicholas Nelson
