                                 Trading Update



Future plc, the international special-interest media group, is today issuing a
trading update in respect of the half year ending 31 March 2007. The Group
intends to announce its interim results on 13 June 2007.

Revenues from continuing activities for the first five months (October to
February) were in line with expectation.


Continuing operating costs and overheads remained under tight control throughout
the period, running at an annualised level in excess of £4.5m below those for
last year. The Group's EBITA for the first five months was therefore in line
with expectation.


Implementation of the strategy outlined on 29 November 2006 continues on track,
with all major hires now in post.
