REG-Roxboro Group PLC Trading Statement
Date/Range: 15-DEC-2004
Short Abstract: THE ROXBORO GROUP PLC TRADING UPDATE
The Board of the Roxboro Group PLC, the international specialist electronics
group, is pleased to confirm that it believes the performance for the year will
be in line with our previous expectations.
The Group’s forward momentum is being maintained, with a good year-on-year
performance at Dialight despite the previously announced weakness in the
opto-electronic component sector in the second half. Increasing demand for the
company’s solid-state-lighting signals, especially in Europe, is particularly
encouraging.
Demand for Solartron’s products has remained robust, however, deliveries on some
oil and gas projects may be deferred into the new year due to customers’ delays.
Even without these potential deferrals, Solartron’s order book is expected to be
strong at the year end and this, together with increasing demand for Dialight’s
solid-state-lighting products, should provide a solid start to 2005.
The preliminary results will be announced on 14 March 2005.
