                                Trading Update        

Croma Group Plc, the technology company specialising in the design, development
and marketing of surveillance and counter-surveillance equipment, announces an
increase in new orders being placed for its products.

Following Croma's listing on AIM in December 2003 and related fundraisings, the
Group has been able to accelerate the performance of its sales and marketing
division, resulting in approximately �400,000 of new orders from 1 March 2004
to date. The products in demand during this period include, in particular, the
Group's PILAR acoustic information system, which detects and locates
potentially hostile gunshots indicating not only the trajectory of the
projectile but also its muzzle velocity and calibre. Croma's customers placing
these orders consist of military and police forces in both the UK and overseas
but cannot be named owing to the sensitive nature of the applications for the
products.

John French, Chairman of Croma, said,

"I am delighted to provide evidence of the implementation of Croma's strategy
to accelerate its sales and marketing division growth. The benefits of our
recent AIM listing and related fundraisings have enabled the Group to focus on
generating higher levels of sales for its products and we are actively engaged
in marketing programmes in new territories. The sales from our subsidiary's
recent acquisition of Shawley, which makes high-spec surveillance systems, have
contributed already to the sales performance and I expect the proposed
acquisition of R&D Design Services Limited, when completed later this month, to
contribute substantially to the overall performance of the Group."

Croma Group Plc will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting on 15 April 2004 for
shareholders to approve the proposed acquisition of R&D Design Services
Limited.
