Trading Update

As Elektron Plc ("Elektron" or the "Group"), the AIM quoted technology based company, approaches the end of its first half, it announces a trading update.

Pre-tax profits for the half year to 31 July 2010 are expected to be significantly ahead of management's previous expectations.

The Board continues to be cautious about the second half because of global economic events. However, the order book remains strong and the Board believes that the Group will perform better than management's previous expectations for the current year.

Elektron expects to release its interim results on 16 September 2010.
