Trading Statement

30th March 2006


END OF FINANCIAL YEAR


Intermediate Capital Group PLC, Europe's leading independent provider of
mezzanine finance, is updating the market on current trading prior to the close
period.


As a consequence of a change of year-end the latest financial year is for a
14-month period to 31st March 2006. Core income, made up of net interest income,
fund management and other fee income less expenses, will be broadly in line with
market expectations. However, due to the exceptionally strong exit market for
buy-outs, net capital gains have been particularly strong and as a result we
expect overall pre-tax profits in excess of market expectations.


We have experienced good loan book growth during the period.
