PRESS RELEASE          9 January 2007


                               Judges Capital Plc
                                (the 'Company')

                          Pre Close Trading Statement

The Directors of Judges Capital, the scientific instrument group, are pleased to
announce a trading update in respect of the year ended 31 December 2006.

At the time of the interim results, issued on 26 September 2006, the Company
reported subdued second quarter trading activity following a solid first quarter
performance and warned that earnings for the full year were unlikely to meet
earlier expectations. However, the Board also noted that order intake had
improved at the onset of second half trading and expressed its confidence in a
satisfactory outcome for the financial year as a whole.

The Board is pleased to report that the aforementioned recovery in orders was
sustained and it expects the Company to have made up a significant proportion of
the mid-year earnings shortfall. Consequently, it is anticipated that the full
year results will be in excess of current market expectations.

                                      Ends
