WILMINGTON GROUP PLC
TRADING STATEMENT
Wilmington Group plc ('Wilmington' or the 'Group'), the professional information
and training group, today issues a trading statement in respect of the six
months to 31st December 2005.
Trading performance for the six months to 31st December 2005 is anticipated to
be in line with our expectations. As in previous years, we expect that the
Group's performance will be weighted to the second half of the financial year.
The performance of the recently acquired Quorum Training Limited and Ark Group
is expected to compensate for the reduction in the one-off benefit arising from
the Immigration and Asylum accreditation scheme that boosted last year.
As previously reported we have disposed of the portfolio of Drinks magazines and
events. We have also disposed of TMSS our television royalty reporting service.
Overall we anticipate making a modest gain from discontinued activities in the
six months to 31st December 2005.
Outlook
The board is encouraged by the continued progress of the Group and is confident
that its strategy of focussing on key professional markets will result in
further good progress this financial year.
It is anticipated that Wilmington will announce its interim results for the six
months ending 31st December 2005 during the week commencing 13 March 2006.
