Blavod Extreme Spirits plc (the 'Company' or 'Blavod')
Trading update
Further to the announcement released by the Company on 12 March 2007, the
Company today issues a trading update for its financial year to date.
Case sales for the year to date have increased by over 30% when compared to the
same period last year, increasing by over 45% in the United Kingdom and by over
15% in the US.
Jeff Hopmayer, Blavod's CEO commented, 'Clearly our Company continues to grow
strongly and maintain momentum. Customers in the US have been slightly
distracted by the recent potential acquisition discussions, thereby disrupting
some of our sales efforts, however our case growth has been very encouraging
throughout that time and we look forward to accelerating our sales growth. We
expect the Company to be in line with market earnings expectations for the year
to 31 March 2007.'
