Pre-close Trading Update 

China Shoto plc, the largest Chinese producer of back up batteries, is pleased to announce that for the year ended 31 December 2009, due mainly to a good grasp of the linkage scheme between the fluctuating lead price and the sales price to major customers and effective management of risk, it is expected that profit before tax will be materially ahead of market expectations.
