Trading Statement

Screen Technology Group plc 10 November 2005 For Immediate Release 10 November 2005 Screen Technology Group plc Trading update Screen Technology Group plc ("Screen Technology"), the designer and manufacturer of innovative high resolution large-screen displays for high ambient light environments, today provides an update on order pipelines for its products and trading for the current financial year. The company's sales order pipeline has recently been significantly strengthened as a result of demonstrations and exhibitions of its large display screens throughout Europe, Asia and the UK. The product has generated a significant amount of interest from potential customers and distribution partners. Since the launch of ITrans, the Company has been involved in site demonstrations and support to potential customers in the transport, control room and media sectors that are already in the process of specifying major installations of Screen Technology products expected to be valued at over £4 million. Total quotations provided to potential customers to date are now in excess of £10 million. These projects would be more than enough to take up the Company's entire planned production capacity for 2006. The Company has been making enhancements to production processes to ensure the delivery of consistent high-quality moulded optical parts, which it is now producing in larger volumes. Over recent weeks, the company has also focused its currently limited production capacity on satisfying demand for demonstration units that have been used at venues around the world. Although demand has been very high for ITrans products, the effect of both these factors has been to delay some product shipments that were expected by the end of December into the first part of 2006. The Company is expecting to be able to satisfy orders with a value of about £100,000 for delivery in this calendar year. Reported figures for the year ending December 2005 will therefore show that sales will be below current market expectations. In line with expectations at flotation, two new assembly machines have been ordered with the first coming on stream early in the new year and a second much higher speed machine greatly increasing capacity towards the middle of 2006. Tony Kellett, Chief Executive said: "The reaction from our potential customers in Asia, Europe and the UK has been excellent at recent trade exhibitions and demonstrations. With additional production capacity coming on stream early in the new year, we are looking forward to ITrans being deployed by well known global customers in high-profile venues in the near future."

The high resolution and high definition of the Company's displays give a high-quality image suitable for advertising images and video as well as public information displays. They are visible at short viewing distances as well as across larger venues making them particularly suitable for large retail outlets, shopping malls, control rooms and transport concourses where customers might be within 10m of the display, a distance at which LED display technologies become unsuitable. The high brightness means that the displays are also easily visible in the kind of high ambient light environments where conventional LCD or plasma technologies become unusable. Screen Technology's patent protected technology uses moulded optical fibre tiles to produce seamless large displays using standard production LCD panels. The scaleable modular technology enables screen to be built in a wide variety of shapes and of theoretically unlimited size. Screen Technology Group plc listed on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, on 1 August 2005.
