For Immediate Release:                            07.00, Wednesday, 18 June 2003


                     Goldshield Group plc  (the "Company")
                             Further Trading Update


In its preliminary results to be announced on Tuesday 24th June 2003, the Board
of Goldshield expects to report earnings before interest, tax and amortisation
slightly below market expectations. The results reflect deterioration, in
particular in the US Healthcare market and even higher than anticipated costs.
In the light of this performance the Board expects to write down the carrying
value attributable to goodwill by up to #5m, to be recognised as a one off
exceptional item and is reviewing the final dividend for the year.
