Filtronic plc ('Filtronic'), a leading global designer and manufacturer of
customised microwave electronic subsystems for the wireless telecommunications
industries and defence industries, held its AGM in Shipley, Yorkshire today at
11:00am.

At the meeting, Professor David Rhodes, Chairman, made the following statement
to shareholders: 'Performance for the first half of the current financial year
is likely to be broadly in line with expectations. Cash remains under tight
control. Significant effort continues to be deployed on the integrated power
amplifier products. In addition to the cost reduced feed-forward design, the
higher power, fully digitally pre-distorted, unit is scheduled for qualification
in the New Year.

The Board has been reviewing the businesses within the Filtronic group and has
decided to explore options for the Mobile Antenna business, including the
potential of an IPO on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Cazenove & Co. Ltd has been
retained to assist the Company in this process.'
