                         CALDWELL INVESTMENTS PLC
                        ('Caldwell' or 'the Group')

                  INITIAL ORDER FOR NINASUN FURNITURE
                     FROM MAJOR CATALOGUE RETAILER




The Board of Caldwell, the AIM listed creator of the 'NinaSun' patented range of
solar protection products, is pleased to announce today that it has received an
order for its NinaSun furniture range from online mail order company Grattan -
one of the UK's big five catalogue retailers.



This is a significant win for Caldwell both as an indicator of the long-term
potential of NinaSun and in terms of progress in marketing the NinaSun canopy.
Although the size of the initial order is small relative to Group turnover, the
endorsement of Grattan is of particular importance to Caldwell, as it
illustrates the viability of the product and enhances NinaSun's profile opening
the gates for further order wins.



The NinaSun canopy for outdoor furniture is a unique portable protective canopy
that reflects harmful UV rays and provides cool comfort while sitting out in the
sun. The canopy is made of a sophisticated woven polyester yarn designed to give
90% sun protection (SPF10) at a competitive price.  The fabric also allows most
wind to pass through and the high-tenacity polyester yarn reinforcement resists
tearing.  All of the products in the NinaSun furniture range come with
detachable canopies.



The NinaSun furniture range includes sturdy deckchairs, chairs, steamers and
loungers together with complementary outdoor tables.  Grattan has ordered the
NinaSun canopy deckchair with armrest, which will appear in its Spring/Summer
2006 catalogue.



Grattan offers a selection of the latest exciting fashion items for women, men
and children, as well as competitively priced top branded electrical, home
furnishing, DIY and outdoor products. The NinaSun product will be a
complementary addition to the existing range.



Stanley Wootliff, Chairman of Caldwell, commented: 'We are delighted that
Grattan has endorsed the NinaSun range by placing this initial order for the
deckchair.  This will provide an additional channel to market for our products.
We look forward to a positive response and the opportunity to expand the order
with Grattan to meet demand.'
