                  Radstone Technology PLC
                             
Radstone Technology announces that following a very  strong
order intake in the final quarter of the financial year  to
31st March 2000, its order book for future delivery at  the
year end was in excess of £45m, a new record.  This is more
than double the £22m order book reported last year.

Furthermore, sales for the fourth quarter of  the  year  to
31st  March  2000,  were ahead of the  company's  forecasts
which  will  result in the Group reporting profit  for  the
year  in  excess  of  current  market  expectations.    The
substantial  order  book  gives  additional  confidence  of
continued progress in the current year.
