Following the end of the current financial year on 31 May 2005, Professor J D
Rhodes, CBE, FRS, FREng, Executive 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
current trading:

'In my statement issued on 31 January 2005, I indicated that the company was
continuing with the activities for the disposal of the Handset Products
division. Information on the history, current trading and prospects of this
business has been shared with various parties. Following this process the Board
received a number of proposals at values in line with market expectations.  The
Board has now entered into a period of detailed negotiations for the disposal,
which may or may not result in a sale.

The profit and loss performances for the Wireless Infrastructure and Integrated
Products divisions individually remain satisfactory, with the Handset Products
division having a cyclically slow second half year.'
