Trading update

Further to the Company's trading update dated 27 January 2017, the Board is pleased to announce that the immediate actions taken by management in Q3 to address poor trading performance at the Company's subsidiary, Coral Products Mouldings Limited in November and December 2016 have resulted in a much improved performance in that subsidiary for the remainder of the financial year ended 30 April 2017. Additional significant orders are expected to further improve performance in the current financial year.

As stated in the January update, all other Group operations remained on budget and trading profitably and this has continued to be the case through to the year end.

Overall, the Board is pleased to report that Group underlying profit for the year (defined as operating profit before share option and intangibles amortisation charges and also compensation for loss of office) is expected to be in line with the Board's and market's revised expectations.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
