                                CROMA GROUP PLC
                            ("Croma" or "the Group")

                                DIVISION REBRAND
                 Photobase Limited re-branded Croma Biometrics

The Board of Croma, the AIM listed surveillance, security and homeland defence
specialist has today announced its intention to re-brand its recently acquired
Photobase Limited division ("Photobase"), a business which designs, installs,
services and maintains biometric identification and access-control solutions to
meet the physical security needs for a wide range of locations, budgets,
security policies and organization types, to the name Croma Biometrics.

The Board is pleased to also announce that Croma Biometrics has seen a steady
increase in its activities, since it was acquired in February this year, and has
recently attracted a number of new contracts.

The Board of Croma believes that the change of name will identify more clearly
the activities of the overall division activities.

Vigilant Security (Scotland) Limited, which too was acquired by the Group in
February of this year, will also be re-branded to Croma Vigilant Limited. This
division has been particularly successful in winning significant new contracts
during the last few months and, as reported, has seen a 22% increase in its
turnover since joining the Group.

Croma is in the process of developing its brand across all Group operations
whilst retaining the established names of the acquired businesses adding "Croma"
to identify the Group relationship as part of both an ongoing policy, and in
order to create and nurture brand value.

Commenting on today's news, John French, Executive Chairman of Croma said: "We
are encouraged by the significant increase in turnover and new business since
the beginning of the Group's current financial year - with strong indications of
continuing improvements in the coming months. It is important that we clearly
brand all Group activities to support our growing presence in providing an
inclusive range of solutions and products to the expanding surveillance,
security and homeland defence sector".
