AGM and Trading Update

Sondex PLC 23 June 2004 Sondex Plc "Sondex" or the "Company" AGM and Trading Update At Sondex's Annual General Meeting held today Iain Paterson, Chairman of Sondex, made the following comments: "The past twelve months have seen a transformation at Sondex including our flotation on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. The acquisition of Computer Sonics Systems ("CSS") in November, providing us with a stepping stone into the important Canadian market, has been successfully integrated and already is exceeding our initial expectations. We additionally opened two further offices in the UAE and Beijing in China, with significant new business already being generated in these areas. In May we announced the proposed acquisition of Geolink International Limited, the approval of which is subject to, amongst other things, the approval of shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held immediately following this meeting. We believe that this acquisition, will add a new dimension to the group, bringing enhanced opportunities and new overseas exposure, for both companies whilst providing a platform for further expansion. The acquisition is expected to complete on 30 June 2004. Order intake for the first 15 weeks of the current financial year is significantly ahead of the same period last year, giving confidence that our half year results will be in line with expectations. New customers have been added in Kuwait, Indonesia and India, with particularly strong trading in the Middle East. In the past year there has been an increasing realisation of the importance of accurately identifying and analysing reserves of oil and gas as well as the production of these reserves. The technology supplied by our expanded group, including Geolink, should assist the oil and gas industry in achieving this in the future." 23 June 2004 Enquiries: Sondex plc Martin Perry, Chief Executive +44 (0) 118 932 6755 Chris Wilks, Finance Director +44 (0) 118 932 6755 Collins Stewart Limited Nick Ellis +44 (0) 20 7523 8350 Mark Connelly +44 (0) 20 7523 8350 College Hill James Henderson +44 (0) 20 7457 2020 Nick Elwes +44 (0) 20 7457 2020 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
