Trading Statement

Northamber PLC

                                 Northamber plc
                               Update on Trading

As foreshadowed in the Interim Results announcement released in February, the
Directors have seen a continuation of the difficult trading conditions
experienced across the sector at the start of 2005.  Accordingly, the Board now
believes that should these trading conditions continue the outcome for the year
ended 30 June 2005 might well be below current market expectations of £3.35
million profit before tax, although significantly more than the £1.8 million
reported for the year ended 30 June 2004.


The Company's balance sheet remains robust with no debt.


The preliminary results announcement for the year ended 30 June 2005 is expected
to be released in September.
