                               TT ELECTRONICS PLC
                        Pre-Close Period Trading Update

TT electronics, a world leader in resistor and sensor technology, is pleased to
announce that the order intake for the first six months of 2004 has continued
ahead of the same period last year.

The electronic sector has performed very well due to improved trading conditions
for the electronic component businesses in the USA and strong demand for
automotive sensors from leading German vehicle manufacturers. TT electronics'
results for the six months to 30 June 2004 will also include the first full six
months contribution from Optek Technology, the North American sensor business
acquired in December 2003, which is performing ahead of expectations.

TT electronics will announce its interim results on 16 September 2004 and is
confident of a further improvement in performance in the second half of the
current financial year over the comparable period last year.
