                                Croma Group Plc                                

                            Increased Product Range                            

Following it's acquisition of Shawley Products in March and R&D Design Systems
Limited, Croma Group plc is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Croma
Defence Systems Limited, has completed agreements with TDI Arms, Easy Lift and
IES Digital Systems for the addition of a number of new products to its
portfolio for marketing and distribution.

The deal with TDI Arms will see Croma Defence Systems distribute a range of
Arms Accessories. The products are a series of attachments including torches,
lasers and bipods designed to suit an extensive range of weaponry for use by
the Military, Governments and defence related agencies. TDI Arms is a world
leader in the development and manufacture of superior arms accessories which
are in use by Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Units worldwide. Initially, the
agreement for these products is for the UK, however, Croma Defence Sytems
expects to expand the agreement for sales to a number of other territories in
due course.

The second product is the Easy-Lifter. This is a canvas, chair shaped support
product, ideal for carrying casualties in tight and confined areas such as
buildings, ships, high rise buildings, mountain rescue and areas where a
conventional stretcher would be restricted. The products are suitable for
Military and a number of civil and emergency evacuation situations. Croma
Defence Systems has taken on the product for distribution to the European
marketplace.

The third agreement, with IES Digital Systems ("IES"), a developer and
manufacturer of sophisticated control and recording terminals for surveillance,
covers the marketing and distribution of a number of complementary products to
Croma Defence Systems existing range of low-light cameras and long-range
lenses. The agreement establishes a very powerful relationship for complete
surveillance solutions. Croma Defence Systems will market IES products through
its extensive worldwide distribution network.

Commenting on these developments John French, Chairman of Croma Group plc,
said,

"In addition to our two recent acquisitions, I am delighted to see Croma
Defence Systems further increase the size of it's portfolio of surveillance and
defence related equipment both with our own products and those that we market
and distribute on behalf of third parties. It is becoming widely acknowledged
throughout our sector that Croma Group plc has established a significant and
prestigious customer base across the globe which continues to grow. These
agreements are, in my view, further evidence of this.

I am confident that Croma Group plc is moving more and more towards providing
its customers with a single source for much of their overt, covert and defence
related product requirements."
