Horizon Technology Group plc, a leading system integrator and distributor of
information technology products in the UK and Ireland, is pleased to provide a
year-end trading update and announce that it intends to release preliminary
results on 13 March 2008.

Horizon's revenue, which has become increasingly weighted towards the end of
each quarter, was lower than expected in December, partly due to orders slipping
into 2008. The directors anticipate that diluted adjusted EPS in 2007 will show
single-digit growth.

The directors consider that the group's bad debt provisions need to be
strengthened by Euro0.8 million to reflect an exposure to a significant UK customer
whose business has gone into Administration.

The group has performed ahead of expectation in terms of cash generation and
market share growth. Having generated approximately Euro11 million of cash flow in
2007 and with net cash at 31 December 2007 of approximately Euro4 million, the
group is in a very strong financial position.
