PRELIMINARY TRADING UPDATE                                                      
Taste advises that the company`s interim results for the six months             
ended 31 August 2011 are currently under review and it is expected that         
earnings and headline earnings per share for that period will be at             
least 20% above those of the comparable period.                                 
At this stage, the directors are unable to quantify, with any degree of         
certainty, the exact expected earnings and headline earnings per share          
for the six months ended 31 August 2011 and will release a further              
announcement containing such detail in due course.                              
The financial information on which this trading update is based has not         
been reviewed or reported on by the company`s auditors.
