                 Reliance Security Group plc (the 'Company')

                                AGM Statement


At the Company's Annual General Meeting today, Brian Kingham, Chairman,
commenting on current trading, said:

'In the first four months of the current financial year we continued to make
steady progress. The demand for security services in the UK has continued at a
healthy level, notwithstanding the difficulties in the wider economy. Our
pioneering move into higher value-added solutions-based security is making
satisfactory progress. In the US, Command Security Corporation, in which we
have an effective 37% investment, is making slow progress in the challenging
conditions of that market. The anticipated cross-border co-operation, however,
has started to produce customer benefits for our UK business.

Our facilities management business is experiencing continuing high levels of
demand. Last month we signed a groundbreaking £90 million contract over 30
years, to design, build and operate certain facilities for the Police Service.

We continue to look forward to growth in the year ahead.'
