Q1 Interim Management Statement and
Trading Update - Reflecting a strong recovery in trends and expectations

Trifast plc ('Group' or 'TR or Company')publishes its Interim Management Statement covering the period to date 1 April-9 August 2010, and a Trading update for the 18-weeks to the date of this announcement as required by the UK Listing Authority Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Q1 Interim Management Statement

As the Company indicated in its Preliminary announcement issued on 16 June 2010, the uplift in the last quarter of the previous financial year continued into Q1 of the current financial year ending March 2011. Group revenue for the three months ended 30 June 2010 was 28% ahead of the same period last year; gross margins remained at levels similar to those of the second half of last financial year.

Trading Update - improving trends continue reflecting a strong recovery and ahead of expectations

Overall, for the year to date, we have continued to witness an improvement in trading and business opportunities despite some caution still prevailing across certain global economies.

TR Asia remains buoyant in terms of both manufacturing and distribution. Due to increasing manufacturing demand and visibility the Board has authorised the restoration of capital expenditure in this region.

Around the rest of the world in general, TR is also witnessing demand and enquiries increasing across both its transactional and global sales. The Group's focus remains "sales-led" with margin improvement whilst retaining its tight control on cash as the business starts to build up stocks profiled to new customer requirements.

In its 'rebuild' phase, the Directors remain confident that Trifast will continue to make good strategic progress throughout the remainder of the financial year. However, the Group continues to be mindful of the number of external macro-factors which could slow global and UK economic recovery such as the significant increases in freight and raw material costs.

Taking all of this into account trading to date is strong; as a result, the Group will significantly exceed market expectations for the current year.

2010 Annual Financial Report and Annual General Meeting

The Group's Annual Financial Report for the year ended 31 March 2010 together with associated documents are being posted on 18 August 2010 to shareholders listed on the Register as at 30 July 2010, following which it can also be viewed on the Company's website www.trifast.com. The Group's Annual General Meeting is to be held on 21 September 2010 at Trifast House, Bellbrook Park, Uckfield, East Sussex TN22 1QW.

Other than as noted above, there have been no material events or transactions between 1 April 2010 and the date of this announcement.

Interim Management Statement



Trifast publishes this unaudited Interim Management Statement covering the period from 1 October 2013 to the date of this announcement:-



"The Directors are pleased to report that a combination of the recently well publicised automotive dynamics in the UK, US and China, our own ongoing 'self-help' focus and the improving macro-economic sentiment are resulting in the Group's divisions in Asia, Europe and the US trading strongly. TR's balance sheet remains strong, cash collection continues to be effective and Group gearing is modest.



As our customers and markets continue to make strides in technological advancements, we too look to add further value to TR's offering through enhanced engineering design and technical capability matched by complementary products that meet the requirements, demands and aspirations of our global customers. Our teams also continue to identify and create new business opportunities within our key markets which further enhance our confidence going forward.



Beyond our teams' organic growth initiatives, one of our objectives remains to be a 'strategic consolidator' and as such, the Group continues to actively investigate suitable acquisitions to add geographic coverage, product range and customers to the TR footprint.



We look forward to keeping all stakeholders updated with our progress."
