Update on Trading
The board of Northamber plc announces that it is experiencing the effects of the
especially challenging trading conditions that are common across the sector.
Following the Preliminary Results released on 21 September 2005, the Directors
have seen further continuation of the price erosion and tight margins
experienced across the sector since the start of 2005. As a result, the Board
now believes that if these trading conditions continue for what remains of the
half year the profit before tax for six months ended 31 December 2005 will be
substantially below the previous years' interim figures.
The Company's balance sheet continues to remain robust with no debt.
The interim results announcement for the year ended 31 December 2005 is expected
to be released in February.
