TRADING STATEMENT
UCS expects revenue growth of some 43% for the six months to 31 March 2006
compared to the same period last year. This includes the contribution of the CEB
Maintenance acquisition, which became effective on 1 October 2005.
Headline earnings per share is expected to be between 45% and 55% higher for the
interim period to 31 March 2006 than the headline earnings per share for the
comparable period last year while earnings per share is expected to be between
60% and 70% higher than the comparable period in 2005.
As the Group recorded very strong results in the second half of last year it is
possible that the growth rates for the full year will be lower than those
achieved in the first half. Management is optimistic that the Group remains well
placed to continue or even exceed the headline earnings per share growth trend
established over the last three years.
Shareholders are also advised that the company"s results for the six months
ended 31 March 2006 have not been reviewed and/or reported on by the company"s
auditors. It is anticipated that the reviewed results for the period ended 31
March 2006 will be published on or about 16 May 2006
