Eleco plc 
("Eleco") 
 
 
Trading Statement 
 
 
 
 
John Ketteley, Executive Chairman of Eleco will make the following statement at 
the Company's Annual General Meeting today at 12 noon 
 
 
 
 
"Overall, trading conditions remained challenging in the first four months of 
the year, but sentiment in the sectors in which we operate appear to be 
improving. 
 
 
It is but a few short weeks since I reported in my statement with the Report and 
Accounts that there were signs of an improvement in business sentiment but that 
this had not yet produced a tangible change to our key Precast Concrete 
businesses. However, although background sentiment continues to improve 
somewhat, we do not anticipate that the impact of new orders, which we are 
favourably placed to secure, will have any meaningful impact on the trading of 
our Building Systems Division until the second half of the year, although the 
Division is benefitting to a modest degree from the recent improvement in 
sentiment in the house building sector. 
 
 
I am pleased to report that our Software Division continues to be profitable and 
has traded above its performance in the early part of last year. Construction 
Software is looking forward to greater optimism in its sector. 
 
 
We have an experienced management team and are taking steps to strengthen it. We 
will benefit from further cost reductions made so far during this year, in 
addition to the major cost reductions put in place last year. We have succeeded 
in maintaining our relatively strong financial position. We are also in the 
process of closing the UK defined benefit pension scheme to future 
accrual. Therefore, I believe Eleco to be well placed to take advantage of an 
upturn in demand for our product offerings."
