Trading Update

OMG, the leading supplier of motion capture and visual geometry systems for life
sciences, entertainment and engineering applications, today announced the
following trading update for the year ended 30 September 2004.

At the time of the interim results it was noted that the launch of the Vicon MX
system in June was expected to deliver additional revenues in the fourth
quarter. In the event, revenues for the second half and full year will be at
record levels. Excluding the acquisition of House of Moves, second half revenues
will be more than a third higher than both the first half year and the same
period of the previous year.

House of Moves, acquired in May, has performed in line with management
expectations and will contribute to profits for the year. For the Group
including House of Moves, second half revenues will be around 50% up on the
first half year and the same period of the previous year.

The sharp upturn in revenues in the fourth quarter resulted in profits for the
second half being significantly higher than the first half year. However, the
transition to the Vicon MX system, with initially higher costs of production and
global roll-out, meant that full year profits for the Group are expected to be
significantly lower than market expectations. Costs of production of Vicon MX
systems have already been reduced and are expected to continue to fall as
production volumes build up during 2005.

Julian Morris, Chief Executive commented:
'We have achieved a very successful launch of the new product line, invigorating
the market and bringing new application opportunities resulting from increased
accuracy and performance. In particular, the Entertainment sector has grown
strongly with a high level of media interest prior to this month's UK release of
'The Polar Express', a film in which Vicon full body motion capture allows actor
Tom Hanks to appear in several different roles'.
