INVESTOR RELATIONS

STM Group PLC (AIM:STM.L), the cross border financial services provider, today issues the following trading update.

STM continues to deliver strong performance and the Group expects to deliver results for 2008 at least in line with market expectations, despite the broader economic downturn. As previously stated, STM's business is not dependent upon the value of the underlying assets which the Group administer, whilst the value of these assets may fluctuate due to wider market conditions, STM's income arises largely from fixed fees and fees based on time spent in administration.

This week the Group will move all of its Jersey based staff and operations into the newly completed Jersey head office, Windward House, in the new financial district of St Helier. STM anticipates being able to add further to our Jersey operations during the early part of 2009.

Tim Revill, Chief Executive Officer, comments: The market for our services remains robust. Clear visibility of future earnings for 2009 forecasts and beyond coupled with strong market conditions, as evidenced by some significant new client wins in recent weeks, mean we remain confident about the future."
