Temporary Suspension of trading in securities 
 
Expomedia Group plc, the AIM quoted media group with interests in exhibitions,

options. 
 
 
On 10 November 2008, Expomedia announced that the Group had seen a significant 
reduction of revenues. The Directors have subsequently entered into discussions 
with the Group's bankers, creditors and shareholders, in order to secure the 
financing required to fund's the Group's cashflow commitments. The Directors 
have also implemented a programme of cost savings and announced certain asset 
disposals. 
 
 
Although the Group remains in discussions with its bankers, creditors and 
shareholders, it has been unable to secure the necessary funding and reach 
agreement with certain of the Group's creditors. 
 
 
A further announcement will be made as appropriate.
