Further to the announcement of improved trading in the year to June 2004 and in
response to continued increase in sales activities throughout its operating
subsidiaries, Croma is pleased to announce a number of key appointments to
support the increase in orders for 2005.

Frank Kraft joins Croma's wholly owned subsidiary, R&D Design Services Ltd ("R&
D"), as Global Sales Manager. He brings the benefit of his many years of
experience in avionics surveillance systems and technology to R&D's customers.
Mr Kraft's deep understanding of military, paramilitary and civilian groups'
video surveillance technology requirements is a strong addition to R&D, which
produces video enhancement systems and monitors for the international airborne
and ground surveillance market. Tom Morrison has also been recruited to the
sales division of R&D to strengthen the communication between customers and the
Group at the various stages of the sales process. Mr Morrison brings a wealth
of international experience to the role.

As part of its increased market activity, Croma Defence Systems Limited,
another wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, has appointed Ed Coughlin as
Regional Sales Manager for the north of England.

John French, Chairman of Croma said "The increase in activity experienced at
the end of the last financial year is continuing at all levels of the Group and
is being reflected in the continued trading improvement in the current
financial year. In order to support this most pleasing growth, I am delighted
to welcome Frank, Tom and Ed into the Croma Group sales force and look forward
to seeing the benefits of their appointments in the current financial year."
