AGM Statement

Dillistone Group PLC 12 June 2007 Dillistone Group Plc Trading Statement The following is the text of a trading statement to be made by the Chairman at the company's Annual General meeting, held at 10am on 12th June 2007. 'Following our announcement of record profits for the year ended 31st December 2006, and confirmation on 7th February that order intake in the final quarter of 2006 was at record levels, I am pleased to be able to confirm the continuation of this positive trend. In the first 5 months of 2007 we have experienced order levels some 20% higher than over the same period in 2006, and turnover in the first 4 months of the year is some 18% ahead of last year. In March 2007 we launched the latest version of our Filefinder product, (Filefinder 8) which has been very well received by our clients. Furthermore, we continue to add new services under our 'Search-Consult' brand. These include executive search training courses (scheduled to be delivered this year in the UK, US and continental Europe) and conferences (taking place this year in Hong Kong and London) which the Company will be running. These events typically act as excellent platforms for the promotion of our Filefinder product whilst also being profitable in their own right. Support renewals in December 2006 were in line with our expectations, some 19% ahead of the previous year, and early indications are that renewals in July 2007 will be at a similarly encouraging level. The group remains free of all borrowings and has continued to generate cash in line with its trading performance. We indicated in our Admission Document that we expected to pay a dividend covered some 2x by earnings, and are pleased to confirm that an interim dividend is expected to be paid in October 2007. The board remains confident that the Group will achieve expectations for the year ending 31st December 2007, and expects to report interim results for the 6 months ending 30th June 2007 on or about 14th September 2007.'
