Trading update

Stadium Group Plc (AIM: SDM), a leading electronic technologies group, provides the following pre-close trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

Trading for the six months ended 30 June 2012 was broadly in line with the expectations outlined in the recent AGM statement. As anticipated, sales were below that reported for the same period last year due to the underlying economic environment and the impact of the Company's decision to withdraw from a number of low margin legacy contracts. The consequent impact upon profits has been partially offset by a number of important new business wins and continuing cost reduction activity.

We expect the second half of 2012 to see the full benefit of H1 business wins and further progress with operational improvements in overheads, factory efficiency and most significantly in procurement; taken together, substantially offsetting the impact of any reduced underlying revenues. In addition the Company is currently undertaking pre-production trials for two significant contracts for programmes that are planned to commence in Q4 of 2012. The outcome of these trials will be known in Q3.

The Company also continues to pursue a number of potential acquisitions that complement the current activities which should enhance shareholder value over the medium-term.

Stadium will announce its financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2012 on Tuesday, 4 September 2012.
