OMG plc ('OMG' or 'the Group')
Trading update

OMG plc, Oxford Metrics Group, the technology group providing image
understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and
engineering industries, announces a trading update for the year ended 30
September 2006.

Trading in the second half of the year has been strong and, as a result, the
Board anticipates closing the year with revenues slightly ahead of market
expectations and profitability significantly ahead of market expectations.

Nick Bolton, Chief Executive, commented:

'The Group has performed well once again, with strong trading in all of our
major markets. Revenues are slightly ahead of our expectations and the positive
effect on profit has been more pronounced due to a combination of strong gross
margins and continuing cost control. This has been achieved whilst increasing
the level of investment in promising new market opportunities in defence and in
street-level geospatial imaging. I look forward to updating the market more
fully when we publish the full year results in December.'

Results for the twelve months ended 30 September 2006 will be announced on
Thursday 7 December 2006.
