Trading Statement

Dillistone Group PLC 25 July 2006 Dillistone Group Plc, provider of software and ancillary services to the executive recruitment industry, which floated on AIM on 15 June 2006, will be announcing its first interim results for the 6 months to 30 June 2006 on 28 September 2006. Trading Trading in the first 6 months of the year has continued to be strong, and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the Directors are confident of achieving market expectations for the year as a whole. The group has continued, since the flotation, to be both profitable and cash generative, and has decided to extend its offering to its clients by establishing a leasing operation, which will lease the Group's 'Filefinder' application to clients. It is expected that this new service will attract additional clients, and enhance both sales and performance in the coming years. The leasing operation will be established in the second half of 2006. Renewals Support renewals in June 2006, for the year to 30 June 2007 have been ahead of budget, and the increase in revenue arising from these renewals will reflect in the results in the second half of 2006, and the first half of 2007. The level of support renewals reflect the higher than budgeted levels of sales being achieved by the Group. Order intake for the Group's 'Filefinder' application continues to be strong. Relocation The Group's head office will be relocating to 50-52 Paul Street, London EC2A 4LB in August 2006. The new offices are conveniently located near to the existing office, and significantly improve the working environment for our staff. The costs of the move are expected to be in the order of £140,000 - £160,000, the vast majority of which will be capital expenditure, and will be met from the cash resources of the Group.
