RM plc: pre-close update for the year ending 30 September 2010 - trading in line with expectations

As part of its normal programme of communications with shareholders, RM is issuing an update on current trading prior to the end of its financial year on 30 September 2010.

Trading during the year so far has been consistent with market expectations for the year as a whole. As indicated at the time of its Interim Management Statement, issued on 26 July 2010, RM anticipates revenue growth in each of its three divisions during FY-2010.

Terry Sweeney, Chief Executive of RM, commented:

"Summer is always the busiest operational period of the year for RM. During summer 2010, we will have commissioned more new schools, processed more examination scripts, and shipped more classroom resources than ever before. As a result, we continue to expect to show revenue growth across all areas of our business in FY-2010.

"I'm also pleased to report that we continue to see good sales momentum, with both new contracts, and extensions to existing arrangements."
