Thomson Intermedia plc (the 'Group')

Trading update for the year ended 30 April 2008

Thomson Intermedia plc (AIM: THN), a leading provider of media intelligence, today provides the following pre-close trading update for the year ended 30 April 2008.  

The Board is pleased to announce that full-year results are expected to be in line with management expectations, after a good performance in the second half. 

Following a strategic review of the business by Chief Executive Michael Greenlees, Thomson Intermedia has strengthened its position as the UK's leading provider of 'must-have' insights to the marketing and media industries. In April, the group announced a substantial re-launch of its products, with the addition of eight sector-specific platforms for Billetts Media Monitoring. The re-launch was received with enthusiasm by clients and industry observers.  

As part of its strategy, the Group has successfully integrated all business units into new office space in Tower Hill, following the completion of its move in April.  

Current trading is encouraging and the Board remains cautiously optimistic about the future prospects of the Group.

Chief Executive, Michael Greenlees said:

'This has been a period of significant change for the Group. As we continue our transition from providing data to providing value-added insights, we have built a strong and unique position in an ever-more complex media and marketing environment.'

Thomson Intermedia plc will announce its preliminary results for the year ended 30 April 2008 on Wednesday 23 July 2008. A presentation to analysts will be held at 9.30am on the day in the offices of Thomson Intermedia.
