                        Trading update - profit upgrade


Deltron Electronics plc (LSE : DET), the specialist European electromechanical
solutions provider, would like to provide an update on its performance as it
nears the completion of its financial year to 30 September 2004.


Profit before tax and goodwill amortisation for the year ending 30 September
2004 is expected to be at least #2 million (against #0.6m last year) which will
exceed market forecasts by more than 10%. Sales growth year on year from across
Europe is accelerating, faster in the second half than the first, this, combined
with restored gross margins at 32.5% and a tight control of overheads, have all
contributed to the improved performance.


Paul Gourmand, Chairman said:


"Deltron's strong operational gearing is driving our bottom line performance. I
am pleased to advise the market for the second time in four months that for the
year ended 30th September 2004 our profit before tax and goodwill will exceed
market expectations. We are seeing growth from all our operations across Europe.
We continue to see growth in the value of orders taken, compared to the same
period last year running at 5%."


The Company looks forward to reporting on its preliminary results on 9 December
2004.
