2006 AGM Statement

24 May 2006

Michael Harper, Chairman of The Vitec Group plc (“Vitec”), the international supplier of products, services and solutions to the Broadcast, Entertainment and Media industries, will make the following statement at today’s Annual General Meeting:

“Following on from a strong 2005, Vitec’s performance for the first four months of the current financial year were ahead of the same period last year.

“Trading in the period was slightly ahead of expectations, as we benefited from rentals in support of the Winter Olympics in Turin.  The introduction of HD (High Definition) cameras has also resulted in increased spend on Vitec’s broadcast camera supports.  Order intake remains encouraging and recent product launches have been well received, particularly new battery systems and robotic products.

“Petrol, the Israeli bags business we acquired in January is trading well and Bogen Imaging KK, our new Japanese photographic distribution business, will commence trading on 1st June.  These fit well with our strategy and we continue to seek acquisitions of a similar nature.

“Foreign Exchange rates continue to influence the Group’s results and the FX environment has recently worsened, with the US$ falling against the Euro and Sterling.  However, the Group has hedging cover at attractive rates into mid 2007, which will mitigate the effect of any negative FX changes.  If present rates were maintained for the remainder of the current financial year the estimated adverse effect on the Group compared to 2005 will be about £0.4m.

“Accordingly, the Board continues to expect further growth in 2006 in line with the outlook given at the time of the Full Year Results in March 2006.

“John Potter is standing down today from the board after 7 years valuable service; I would like to thank him for his contribution, which has helped Vitec through a period of considerable change.”

Vitec will publish a trading update in mid July and will announce its half year results on 4 September 2006.
