EASTER TRADING UPDATE

The Board of Thorntons confirms that Easter trading has been satisfactory.

When combined with similarly satisfactory results from both Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, the Board now anticipates that the pre-exceptional Profit Before Tax for the 52 weeks to June 29th 2013 will be ahead of the current market expectation of GBP3.1 million.

However, we remain cautious of the prevailing economy and its continuing impact on consumer expenditure.

We will continue to work through the detail of the recent trading period and will provide further information in our Q3 IMS currently scheduled for Wednesday 24th April 2013.
