Update

Flomerics Group PLC 27 March 2008 Flomerics Group PLC ("Flomerics" or "the Company") Update Flomerics, the global supplier of specialist simulation software for electronics and fluid flow simulation, is today providing an update on its operational plans and outlook for 2008 and beyond in the light of the recent changes in shareholdings in the Company. Flomerics' strategy remains to be a leading provider of software simulation solutions to the worldwide engineering design market. Flomerics' software solutions are targeted at the world electronic thermal management and fluid flow software markets. These markets are growing strongly and the Company believes it has significant opportunities for growth. For example, data published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.(1) indicates that the world electronic thermal management software market will continue to grow by 10% per year over the next five years. The Company's electronics cooling business is well positioned to benefit from this growth, particularly in Asia and the Far-East, which has seen strong growth in recent years. Similarly, the computer-aided engineering industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12% through 2009(2). The Board believes Flomerics' products can outperform this average market growth rate due to the competitive advantages offered by its products. Strong growth has already been seen for the Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD) product range in 2007 and into 2008. The investment in sales and marketing in 2007, aimed at accelerating revenue growth particularly from the EFD product range (acquired as part of the acquisition of Nika GmbH in 2006) is beginning to show positive results. This reinforces the Board's confidence that 2008 revenues will show considerable improvement over 2007. Flomerics has cash balances of approximately £5.0m compared to £2.7m as at 31 December 2007, and the Company is well funded to undertake the investment needed to deliver its strategy. Following on from the acquisitions of MicReD in 2005 and Nika GmbH in 2006, additional growth through targeted acquisition remains an important focus for the Company. The board continues to review potential candidates against its strategic and financial targets. The Company expects to announce its preliminary results for 2007 on 29 April.
