Trading Update

Begbies Traynor Group PLC 24 May 2007 24 May 2007 Begbies Traynor Group plc - Trading Update Begbies Traynor Group plc ('BTG' or 'the Group') - AIM 'BEG' Trading Update prior to release of Prelims Prior to announcing its preliminary results for the year to 30 April 2007, Begbies Traynor Group plc reports on its current trading. The Group will announce its preliminary results for the year ended 30 April 2007 on Wednesday 4 July 2007, which are expected to meet market expectations. During 2007 the board has been progressing the Group strategy of building a widely based professional support services business and has made good progress in the process of identifying and penetrating several new service streams, both by recruitment and acquisition. The UK market for business recovery activities remains static. Growth in this division continues to rely on market share capture, through senior recruitment and continued in-fill boutique acquisitions. However, we are very well placed to take advantage of a market upswing when it occurs. Personal insolvency remains a small part of our overall operations and, although we have enjoyed good growth in Scotland, we have not expanded our activity south of the border as the market remains in flux. Once this market stabilises, we will re-assess the opportunities which emerge. In Corporate Finance, we continue to expand our national reach and the resource base of our professional team. We have been particularly successful in recruiting experienced and respected senior practitioners. Our international association 'Begbies Global Network' has had a successful launch and membership is rapidly increasing. The benefits of this significant investment in time and initial costs are already becoming evident, through work referrals and improved delivery capability, which, we believe, will enhance group earnings in the medium term.
