Trading Statement

Screen Technology Group plc 08 March 2007 For Immediate Release 08 March 2007 Screen Technology Group plc Trading statement Screen Technology Group plc ("Screen Technology" or the "Company"), the AIM listed designer and manufacturer of revolutionary high-resolution large-screen displays for high ambient light environments, today announces that there will some changes to the Company's production plans following developments at a key supplier. The Company announced on 27 September 2006 that it had entered into a partnership agreement with Wilden AG ("Wilden") under the terms of which Wilden is to manufacture two new injection moulding tools to produce light guides for use in the manufacture of ITrans tiles. Manufacture of these moulds is proceeding satisfactorily and they are expected to be available later this month. However, following the recent takeover of Wilden by Gerresheimer Group, internal changes at Wilden have resulted in some delays in the production, using existing mould tools, of moulded parts used by Screen Technology to manufacture ITrans tiles. These parts are required to finalise the testing and commissioning of this first high-speed tile assembly machine. The Board now expects that testing of the machine, which is now underway, will be completed shortly with the planned relocation of the machine to one of Wilden's European production facilities following shortly thereafter. Wilden will then operate the machine at their facility in accordance with the partnership agreement. The Board anticipates that there will a delay of two months compared with the original plans. Under the partnership agreement Wilden also agreed to re-finance the first high-speed tile assembly machine when it completes its factory acceptance testing. Changes at Wilden now mean that the funding commitment is no longer available and the Company is seeking alternative funding arrangements which the board expects to finalise shortly. The Company continues to have a strong pipeline of actual and prospective orders and expects to begin shipments of Modular products, using production from existing tile manufacturing machines, during the second quarter of 2007 with Modular production being supplemented by tiles from the high-speed machine shortly thereafter.

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 screens 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.
