Trading Statement

Keith Ritchie, Chairman, commented on current trading:

" After the considerable disruption caused by the pandemic I am pleased to report that trading in the first four months of the current financial period has stabilised. Group revenues are slightly ahead of our budgeted numbers and Group profit currently exceeds the comparable period from last year. We have seen good performances from our UK businesses to date this year, offset by weaker performance than last year in both South Korea and the US as the challenging trading conditions in those markets, which we noted in the preliminary results announcement on 14 January 2021, continue.

We continue to operate with a strong balance sheet. Titon Holdings Plc received a further dividend amounting to £385,000 from our subsidiary, Titon Korea, in January 2021 leaving the Group's cash balances at the end of January 2021 at £5.1m after the payment of c£400,000 in dividends to the minority shareholders in Titon Korea.

We expect to announce our Interim Results on 13 May 2021."
