PR Newswire

London, December 20

21 December 2012 SureTrack Monitoring plc ("SureTrack", the "Company" or the "Group")

Interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2012

SureTrack (AIM: STK), one of the UK's leading cash security and crime deterrentcompany's announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 September2012.

Simon Barrell, Executive Chairman commented:

"Whilst this has been a disappointing period due to the Eastern European PostOffice delay in proceeding with stage two, IBP has traded at smaller loss thanin previous periods. We have undertaken a strategic review of the Group and arelooking into all alternative avenues available to enhance stakeholder value.

"Within the period under review we have been given court approval for thecapital reconstruction and reduction of share capital."

Catherine Miles - Corporate Broking Chairman's StatementThese results are the first since the disposal of Sure-Track Europe Limited inMarch 2012 and the first interim figures since the change of accounting yearend to 31 March. The comparative figures for September 2011 have never beenpublically reported.The results show that the Group made a small loss for the period of £65,107(2011: loss of £301,511). The majority of the loss is attributable to costsrelating to the holding company with the remaining trading business, IBPLimited ("IBP"), generating a trading loss of £20,162 (2011: loss of £42,953)

Trading

IBP had a good start to the year with some additional work being won inrelation to stage one of the Eastern European Post Office project.Unfortunately, as announced on 24 October 2012, the decision on whether toproceed with stage two has been delayed until 2013. This has obviously been asetback and a disappointment for the business.

The trial of IBP's smoke note product with a major high street chain has beensuccessful in so far as there have been no robberies to date on the sites wherethe trail was undertaken. Despite the success of the trial the customer hasn'tyet placed an order for further stores and discussions continue with a view tosecuring such orders. In the event that we are not successful in securing anorder then we intend to withdraw the trial products from the customer's sitesin Q1 2013.

The challenges in the financial services industry have led to a slowdown inorders from that sector although we have undertaken a number of one-off siteinstallations.

In the period under review we have been developing new products and ourcustomers are showing early interest in them. We continue to service our bluechip customer base with maintenance work and new installations. The outlook forthe full year is not as positive as it was at the beginning of the year but weare working hard to grow the business and enhance shareholder value.

PLC

We are pleased that the capital reconstruction and the reduction in capital haspassed through the courts successfully.

As the Group lacks critical mass the Board has decided to consider all viablestrategic opportunities to maximise value for shareholders, including thepotential disposal of the remaining operating business.

In the meantime, the Group is also seeking to minimise its cash burn fromon-going operations.

Simon BarrellExecutive Chairman
