Trading Statement

The Directors of Judges (the "Board") are pleased to update shareholders on the Group's trading performance in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2012.

The year concluded positively with the Group maintaining momentum in sales, profits and cash flow. The Board expects that adjusted earnings per share for 2012 will achieve the market's expectations with a good measure of comfort. The financial position at the year-end is robust and reflects an active year that witnessed two acquisitions and a £3.0 million placing.

The Group's order book at 31 December 2012 represents almost eleven weeks' sales; this is higher than at the previous year-end but the figure is flattered by the inclusion, for the first time, of Global Digital Systems Limited, which tends to have a longer order book.

The Board believes that global economic conditions are somewhat less turbulent than at the outset of 2012 and are hopeful that Judges will continue to display its resilience in 2013 with another year of progress.
