                 Petards Group plc ('Petards' or 'the Company')

                            New USA Contract Awards


Petards, the AIM listed developer of advanced surveillance systems, announces
that it has been awarded orders worth over $2m to supply UVMSTM network video
recording systems to a further two casinos in the USA.  These orders follow on
from the successful implementation of UVMSTM at another casino owned by the same
customer last year.


Petards' UVMSTM software is a versatile and totally scaleable network management
tool for the recording, storage and instant retrieval of high volumes of digital
surveillance video.  It features advanced recording, camera mapping & image
replay functions and will form the backbone for any new or existing CCTV system.
Its flexibility to grow with clients' security requirements ensures their CCTV
systems have the ability to expand in the future whilst working over a variety
of network protocols.


Petards Chief Executive Bill Conn said 'We are very pleased to secure these
orders which are a result of Petards working in close partnership with its
customers and are indicative of Petards' growing reputation in the US market and
within the gaming sector in particular'.
