Trading Update

Zytronic PLC 12 October 2006 For Immediate Release 12 October 2006 Zytronic Plc Trading Update Zytronic Plc wishes to update shareholders on trading ahead of the Company's preliminary results announcement expected to be reported on 13 December 2006. The second half has seen an increase of 21% in turnover over the corresponding period last year and 17% over the first half reflecting the significant growth internationally in our order book as reported at the time of the interim results. The overall increase in sales year on year of 16% was marginally behind our expectations. However the substantial sales growth coupled with an improvement in gross margins have resulted in a significant growth in profitability compared with last year. Although operating profits will be below expected levels the growth in profitability combined with a reduced corporation tax charge, should result in Earnings per Share for the year in line with our Broker's expectations. The order book has continued to improve in the second half and the uptake of our new product ZYPOS(R) by the marketplace is very encouraging for next year. With strong demand for ZYPOS(R), the investment in new facilities in the adjoining properties is progressing in the current quarter as indicated previously. We expect the new facility to come on stream next summer to meet increasing demand. The Board looks forward to updating shareholders further at the preliminary results.
