Croma Vigilant Limited ("Croma Vigilant") announces that it has secured new

relation to asset protection and security in the commercial, industrial and
public utilities markets.  Of these, the most significant is the contract signed

Biometrics totalling #125,000. Croma Shawley, specialists in the design and
development of CCTV Products, has received orders from Kuwait, Israel, and a UK
Local Authority. Croma Biometrics, developers of biometric access systems, has
won a trial contract with Oxleas NHS Trust.


Trading & Strategy

The Board expects these contract wins to have a positive impact on the Group's
overall trading during the latter part of the current financial year. Today's
announcement follows on from the Group's 15 January trading update for the six
months up to December 2006 - which reported both an increase in turnover of
185.8% and the signing of a Heads of Agreement.


The ongoing policy of the Group will be to continue to accelerate the growth of
the current businesses and to seek compatible acquisitions to enable it to
further consolidate its position in the sector.


John French, Chairman and Chief Executive of Croma, comments: "The Board is
delighted to be reporting today's news so soon after the Company's January
Trading Update, and is pleased with these new contracts and the continued
success of Croma Vigilant and its contribution to the Group as a whole.


"The Management team at Croma Vigilant has created a standard of service for its
customers reflecting the highest levels of integrity and discipline much of
which comes from the fact that the majority of our operatives are sourced
directly from the Armed Forces.


"The new business for our CCTV and biometric operations are the result of fresh
impetus into our sales and marketing programme".
