                            Pre close trading update

The Group has had a strong year with increased operating profit and growth in
underlying sales and orders. The Board expects the Group's adjusted operating
profit for 2007, being operating profit before the amortisation of acquired
intangibles, to be in line with market forecasts of £15.5 million (2006 - £14.3
million) after absorbing the impact of foreign exchange on translation of £0.8
million.

Underlying orders received (note 1) were up 10% to £106 million (2006 - £96.4
million). Underlying sales (note 2) increased by 7% to £101 million. Headline
sales were £98 million (2006 - £100.5 million).

2007 Trading

Our UK business continues to grow in the international broadcast markets through
the increased distribution of Link Research's High Definition wireless camera
products and Advent's growing share of the satellite news gathering market. The
US broadcast market for digital electronic news-gathering products and services
continued to be strong for MRC, our US business. WTS, our recent acquisition has
made a small contribution to the Group's profits, in line with expectations.
Hernis, our Norwegian specialist marine safety and security business, has had
another record year.

2008 Outlook

The Group has started the year with an order book of £36 million (2006 - £34.7
million). Hernis, with the continuing demand from investment by the global
offshore and marine oil and gas markets expects good sales growth. The Group is
also confident of increased sales in the defence, law enforcement and security
markets as we capitalise on the investments made during 2007.

Overall, sales growth is expected in 2008, although the weakness of the US
dollar increases the costs of UK product shipments for the US market with some
consequent pressure on margins.

Commenting, Ian Scott-Gall, Chief Executive said: 'The Board is looking forward
to 2008 with confidence. We have a strong balance sheet and are looking to
strengthen the Group with suitable strategic acquisitions, through the
development of the regional sales offices in the important Middle and Far East
markets and through increased investment in research & development.'
