Trading Update

Zetar Plc, the AIM listed confectionery and snack foods group, is pleased to announce a pre-close trading update for the six months ended 31st October 2009 ("the period").

Group sales from continuing operations for the period increased by 6.0% to £56.8million (2008: £53.6 million)

The Group's continuing focus on cash management has resulted in a reduction in its seasonally high net debt at 31st October 2009 to £28.3 million (2008: £30.5 million), which beat management's original target.

During the period the Group has traded in line with its plans. The Board remains confident of delivering growth for the full year whilst recognising the important contribution of Christmas and Easter to the second half.

The Group will announce its results for the six months ended 31st October 2009 in January 2010.
