Troubled fashion retailer Noni B has placed its shares in a trading halt amid an expected update on the company's future.

The retailer says it is preparing to make an announcement about a potential material transaction.

The move comes after Noni B last Friday announced a $7.8 million full year loss on the back of falling sales.

At the time, the retailer said a review of its future by major shareholders was close to a conclusion, although no sale of the business or other proposal was guaranteed to proceed.

Sales at the women's fashion chain dropped 7.7 per cent in the year to June 30, to $112 million, contributing to an underlying loss of $2.2 million.

The company has been approached by several parties interested in taking a stake or complete control of it, after it announced its major shareholders, the Kindl family, were undertaking a strategic review.

Noni B shares last traded at 45 cents.

The trading halt is expected to remain in place until Wednesday at the latest.
