Trading Statement

Quadnetics Group plc 28 June 2007 Trading Update - Pre-close Statement Quadnetics Group plc is pleased to provide an update on trading following the end of its financial year on 31 May 2007. The Company's current view is that its consolidated profit before tax, exceptional items, amortisation of goodwill and share-based payment costs for the year will be slightly ahead of market expectations. No exceptional costs are anticipated at this stage. Within this overall position, the Group experienced plusses and minuses in trading across its various business areas. Most pleasing was the performance of Synectics' digital surveillance solutions in the North American casino market, where rapid growth in turnover (to approximately US$9 million) and significant profits ahead of plan were achieved for the year. The positive momentum in this area is continuing. Contributions were below expectations in Synectics' Security Networks business outside North America, and in Quadrant Security Group's CCTV security systems businesses. However, development of the next generation of Synectics' products relevant to both these areas is nearing completion prior to market launch in early autumn this year as planned. Indications of the market potential of these products continue to look promising. Contribution from the managed security services business area within Quadrant Security Group more than offset these shortfalls. It benefited from higher than anticipated profits achieved in managing the run-off of large, low margin historical contracts as the business is transitioned to a higher margin business model where it provides more comprehensive outsourced security management to its multi-site retail clients. The Company believes potential in this new area is substantial, particularly in its ability to generate contracted recurring revenues, but it will require investment in systems and personnel. As a result, profits in the next two years from this area of QSG's business are expected to be lower than in the year to 31 May 2007. Overall, the Group's outlook continues to be positive and expectations for consolidated results in the new financial year just started remain unchanged. Consolidated net cash at 31 May 2007 was £5.6 million, compared with £8.9 million at the previous year end. Approximately £2.4 million of this net cash outflow resulted from the purchase of a new building to accommodate the growth and consolidation of Synectics activities in Sheffield. It is expected that most of the cash impact of the purchase will be reversed in the current year, once a sale and leaseback of the building is agreed and completed. Preliminary results for the year to 31 May 2007 are expected to be released on or around 5 September, somewhat earlier than in previous years.
