                                 Trading update


Following the end of the current interim period on 30 November 2005, Professor J
D Rhodes, CBE, FRS, FREng, Chairman of Filtronic plc ('Filtronic'), a leading
provider of customised microwave electronic subsystems for the wireless
telecommunications and defence industries, issued the following statement on
trading for this interim period:


'As announced at our AGM, we have discontinued our loss making Wireless
Infrastructure operation in Australia and restructured our sales approach in
merchant semiconductors, closing a sales office in the US.  The costs of around
£1m associated with these decisions have been borne in the first half of this
financial year.


Underlying trading performance for the six months ended 30 November 2005 of the
two continuing divisions, Wireless Infrastructure and Integrated Products, is in
line with expectations.'
