Trading Statement

Reliance Security Group PLC
28 April 2006




                    Reliance Security Group plc ('Reliance')

                                 Trading update




The Directors of Reliance are pleased to provide an update, prior to the
commencement of the close period, on the Group's trading performance and
prospects.

The Directors expect that trading results for the year to 28 April 2006 will be
in line with market expectations. The Group remains financially strong with good
levels of organic cash generation.

In security services, market conditions have remained challenging and we have
seen continuing pressure on margins. We have devoted great management effort and
expense to meet the needs of security industry regulation. This diversion of
resource has resulted in some slippage in our market share. However, we expect
that the full implementation of regulation, from 20 March 2006, will start to
have a beneficial impact during the course of next year, and we have
restructured the senior management team to take full advantage of this.

The group enjoys extensive growth opportunities in the large and diverse
facilities management and business process outsourcing market, estimated to
exceed £40 billion per annum. We continue to invest in developing new products
and services to meet the needs of these markets for process change and the
application of the latest technology. A number of contracts have been
successfully renewed, we have invested significantly in additional business
development resource and activity levels remain high.

The loss of our electronic monitoring contract on 31 March 2006 means that next
year will be the first full year without the benefit of this business. The
outurn for next year will be dependent on our success in winning further new
significant business.

Reliance's results for the year to 28 April 2006 are expected to be announced on
29 June 2006.

Reliance is an established market leader in the provision of contract security,
