GBP0.4 MILLION GPMG ORDERS FROM NEW CUSTOMERS

IN NEW REGIONS

Manroy Plc ("Manroy" or the "Group"), the AIM quoted leading UK machine gun manufacturer, is pleased to announce that it has secured two new orders for its General Purpose Machine Gun ("GPMG") valued at a combined total of GBP0.4 million.

The orders have been placed by two new overseas customers and, although relatively small in value, their strategic impact for Manroy is significant as it confirms new and important export regions for the Group.

Glyn Bottomley, Manroy's Chief Executive, said: "These new orders are particularly significant for Manroy as they represent new customers in new regions where Manroy has not been represented in the past. The orders also re-affirm the success of the Board's strategy of expanding the Group's product offering and overall geographical spread."
