MISSION TESTING PLC ('Mission Testing' or the 'Company')
TRADING UPDATE


The Directors  of  Mission Testing have  recently  reviewed
their forecasts for the year ending 30 June 2002  and  make
the following statement:

Interim results for the six months to 31 December 2001  are
expected to be broadly  in  line  with  expectations  and
significantly ahead of the result for the same  period  last
year. Whilst to date the Company has performed well, revenue
from our consultancy operation, including Specialist Testing
Solutions Ltd ('STS') which was acquired in September  2001,
is unlikely to meet expectations.

Despite being impacted by the well publicised economic  slow
down,  the  company remains on track to produce  significant
revenue  growth and improved operating profit for  the  full
year compared to the results for the year to June 2001.

However,  revenues  for the full year  are  expected  to  be
marginally down on market expectations and operating  costs,
which   include   a   planned  restructuring   and   further
recruitment  costs, are likely to be higher.   The  combined
effect  is  likely to result in the company's profit  before
tax  being  below market expectations for the year  to  June
2002.

The directors believe that the Company is well positioned to
continue to take advantage of long term growth in the market
for specialist software testing services and anticipate that
the  benefits  of the investment in the business,  including
STS, will come though in the next financial year.
