TREATT PLC

TRADING UPDATE

Treatt PLC (the 'Group'), the manufacturer and supplier of conventional, organic and fair traded ingredients for the flavour, fragrance and cosmetic industries, announces that, as a result of the sharp strengthening of the US Dollar against Sterling in the last two weeks of its financial year ended 30 September 2011, the Group suffered a £0.3m foreign exchange loss which was not anticipated.

Had this loss not occurred, the Group would have met its expectations for the financial year.

Treatt PLC's full year results will be announced on 5 December 2011.
