                               TT electronics plc
                                 Trading update

The Board of TT electronics plc is confident that trading during 2003 has been
in line with current City expectations.

The reorganisation of the magnetics businesses referred to in the Interim Report
in September 2003 has now been substantially completed.

Optek Technology Inc, which was acquired in December, has significantly expanded
our sensor activities in the USA and has introduced new markets and technologies
to the group. This acquisition is now being integrated into the group's
operating and reporting structure and will benefit the group's earnings per
share in 2004.

The trading outlook is more encouraging than at the same time last year. TT
electronics enters 2004 with a broader customer base and an increased product
range. Currently demand for our automotive products remains strong and our
overall order intake for sensors and electronic systems continues to grow. The
markets for electronic components are now showing signs of improvement which we
anticipate will increase future demand for our products.

In the absence of a significant unforeseen event, the Board intends to recommend
a final dividend for 2003 at the same level as for 2002.
