INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Sepura plc ("the Company"), a leading global provider of TETRA digital radios, today issues the following Interim Management Statement. This statement, required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, refers to the Company's trading results for the period from 1 October 2011 to 17 February 2012.

Trading update

The trends reported in the Interim Results for the period ended 30 September 2011 have continued into the second half of the current year. Demand for the Company's products remains resilient and the Company has delivered major projects across a range of market sectors in both core and emerging markets. As a result, cumulative revenues for the first nine months of the financial year were broadly in line with those of the same period last year.

ATEX certification

The scheduled approvals process for the Company's ATEX product range is nearing completion and the Company continues to target volume production commencing later this quarter. Pre-production units have been undergoing field trials with end-users from a range of geographies and market sectors, resulting in initial orders from several key partners that will be fulfilled as soon as certified production units are available.

New credit facility

During the period under review the Company refinanced its existing line of credit on attractive terms a year ahead of maturity. The Company ended the quarter in a positive net cash position.

Outlook

The Company's business remains seasonally weighted to the second half of the year. In line with this, the company is seeing continued strong product demand in the current quarter and is progressing on track to achieve ATEX Certification. This, together with the strengthened gross margin profile and operational efficiencies derived from the restructuring program earlier this year, gives the Company a solid platform from which to achieve its full year targets.

The Company's Preliminary Results Announcement for the period ended 30 March 2012, will be issued during the second week of June. The Company's Annual Report & Accounts will be posted to shareholders in late June and the AGM will take place in July. A confirmatory announcement of the final dates for each of these will be made in due course.
