Current trading in line with expectations Trading Performance Marshalls' revenue for the four months ended 30 April 2011 increased by 10 per cent to £113 million (2010: £103 million). Sales to the Public Sector and Commercial end market, which represents approximately 60 per cent of Marshalls' sales, were up 12 per cent and sales to the Domestic end market were up by 7 per cent compared to the prior year. The survey of domestic installers at the end of April 2011 revealed order books of 7.1 weeks (2010: 8.4 weeks; 2009: 7.1 weeks) similar to the 7.2 weeks at the end of February 2011 following the excellent installation conditions this year. Outlook Sales in the first four months of 2011 have continued the positive trend of 2010, however, market uncertainty remains. The outlook for the Public Sector and Commercial end market remains mildly positive and the Domestic end market remains resilient.

General Trading In our Interim Report on 24th February, we reported that the Group continued to trade in line with expectations. This progress has continued, with trading conditions across our markets remaining broadly unchanged. In the four months to 30th April 2011, advertising revenues grew 10%, compared to 17% growth in the first six months of the financial year, reflecting stronger comparatives. Growth was again led by digital advertising revenues which were 26% ahead in the four months, whilst print advertising grew 4% in the same period. We have seen further steady growth in events in the period, with revenues 4% ahead of last year for the four months to 30th April 2011. Our two largest exhibitions ran in the period - Business Travel Show and National Homebuilding & Renovating - and delivered aggregate 8% revenue growth despite continuing challenges in their respective markets. Perfect Information (the digital information provider to the corporate advisory sector) has also continued to generate steady growth, with revenues a further 6% ahead in the four months to 30th April 2011, compared to 8% growth in the first half.

Methuselah - more good figures !

Commenting on the results, Chairman, Tudor Davies said: "The 18% increase in operating profits is a good result and particularly since it has arisen from the continuing worldwide rollout of the Group's touch sensor products which now represent 66% of total revenues." "The increasing acceptance of our touch sensors across an expanding number of geographic regions and applications, and the current healthy inflow of orders, provides a good platform for continuing growth and shareholder value."

Zytronic plc, a leading specialist manufacturer of touch sensors and optical filters for electronic displays, announces its consolidated interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2011. Highlights · Revenue increased by 11% to £9.1m (2010: £8.2m) · Touch sensor sales now 66% of total sales (2010: 56%) · Sales revenues from touch sensors increased by 29% · Profit before tax increased by 19% to £1.3m (2010: £1.1m) · Earnings per share ("EPS") increased by 19% to 6.4p (2010: 5.4p) · Interim dividend increased by 5% to 2.1p per share (2010: 2.0p) · Tudor Davies appointed Chairman on 4 March 2011

Kris Hefton, COO, commented: "We continue to drive forward the high-grade pipe portfolio on state lands with 2 drill rigs running at present. We plan to test the individual targets until positive results require us to retain a drill on a single site to delineate a resource. Following the successful delineation of 1.123 million lbs of uranium oxide from the Wate pipe in early 2011, we look to expand this resource base with discoveries on additional mineralized pipes during the course of the year."

Highlights · Focus on Arizona state land held projects, which total 126 breccia pipe targets o All state land breccia pipes held under U1 JV · Two drill rigs currently in operation, testing 8 permitted targets o A further 12 drill permits pending · Objective is to test up to 20 pipe targets within the next 12 months · Scoping study to commence on North Wash H2 2011 · Non-core targets relinquished

Trading Performance Trading conditions in the commodity markets in which we operate have improved so far this year, although they remain volatile and we are therefore cautious in our outlook. We have taken advantage of better dark green spreads to strengthen our contracted position. This, together with continued good operating performance, currently underpins expectations for the full year.

Surely these are results that will make a difference

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT Overview Our 2010 financial results incorporating the results of Andes together with its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2010 are set out below. The Group recorded a profit before tax of US$22 million on revenue of US$171 million for the year compared to a profit before tax of US$4 million on revenue of US$139 million in 2009. This revenue increase results primarily from the EDEMSA tariff increase, the pass through of increases in the cost of energy purchased and an increase in demand. During the year EDEMSA and the investment trust established by EDEMSA acquired the rights over EDEMSA bonds with a face value of US$85.1 million. A surplus of AR$21 million (US$5.4 million), resulting from the net present value impact of the reduction in borrowings has been recognized in the income statement for the period under finance costs. The profit after tax attributable to equity shareholders was US$4 million compared to a loss of US$1 million in 2009. Basic and diluted earnings per share was 3.55 cents for the year compared to a basic and diluted loss per share of 0.45 cents in 2009. In line with the dividend policy set out in the Group's re-admission document, no dividend is proposed. The results of HASA, our hydroelectric power plant, continue to benefit from the change in the regulations implemented in October 2008 that now allows HASA to sell all the electricity it generates to the wholesale market. We continue to advance the development of our oil and gas strategy and our main focus for the balance of 2011 is to formalise agreements and a work program that will hopefully allow us to maximise the potential of the licences we hold. Outlook We are very pleased with the results for the year. The repurchase of the debt has significantly changed the financial profile of EDEMSA, improving and reducing credit risk exposure and decreasing exposure to foreign exchange risk. However, it is important that the implementation of a tariff polynomial formula, that recognises costs in real terms, is approved by the authorities to maintain EDEMSA's economic and financial sustainability. The results of HASA continue to benefit from the change in the regulations that allows HASA to sell all the electricity it generates to the wholesale market with revenue increasing 31% over 2009. The Group holds licences in prolific oil and gas provinces in Argentina all of which we believe have the potential for significant discoveries and reserves. During the year the Group concluded a farm-in agreement with YPF S.A. ("YPF") for its two licence blocks Corralera and Mata Mora in the province of Neuquen in Argentina. The Group now holds a 13.5% carried interest in these blocks, subject to completion of the agreement. After the year-end, the Group acquired a 24% working interest and exercised its option to acquire a further 10% working interest in Vega Grande a produ

Commenting on the results, Luis Alvarez Poli stated: "We are very pleased with the results for the year and believe we are now in a strong position to accelerate the growth strategy of our oil and gas assets over the coming months, we look forward to updating the market throughout the year ahead."

Operational · Acquisition of joint venture partner's interest in seven licence blocks after the year end · Acquisition of 24% interest in producing field with reserves after the year end · Continuation of geophysical studies and seismic reprocessing · Listing of shares on Buenos Aires Stock Exchange · Farm-in agreement with YPF for two blocks in the province of Neuquen · Increase in EDEMSA's EBITDA for the year ended 31 December 2010 to AR$118 million (US$30 million) from AR$68 million (US$18 million) in the previous year · Acquisition of rights in EDEMSA bonds with a face value of US$85.1 million · Full impact of increase in electricity tariffs for the third review period charged by EDEMSA by on average 12% on 1 August 2009 and 12% on 1 December 2009

Outlook The Group is progressing well with its growth strategy to increase volumes, driven by a greater number of sales outlets, enhance the Group's bias to traditional housing sites with higher sales prices, and deliver stronger margins from new sites acquired since the downturn. The Group's financial position enables it to continue to invest in attractive land opportunities to support further growth. The Group is selling homes in line with its targeted weekly sale rate and a continuation of this will allow the Group to achieve its volume expectations for 2011 with increased revenue, profits and improved returns on capital.
