Year on year both the Components and Signals/Illumination segments of thebusiness will show sales growth. We have experienced good order growth inEuropean Traffic and in Lighting. However, we saw deferrals in a number of USTraffic contracts in December together with some slowing in orders inComponents. As a result sales for the year will be approximately £1 millionbelow earlier management expectations. We expect to see the deferred Trafficorders coming through early in 2007 and will continue to monitor closely ordertrends in Components. The full results for the year ended 31 December 2006 will be announced on 5March 2007. - ENDS - Safe Harbour Statement This announcement contains certain statements, statistics and projections thatare or may be forward looking.
