NEW ORDER AND INITIAL FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL ("FAA") FOR MANROY USA LLC ("MUSA")

Manroy, the AIM quoted UK Defence Contractor, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a further GBP0.5m contract for its new GPMG product from an existing customer. It is expected that this contract will be delivered within the current financial year, subject to standard license approval processes.

Manroy is also pleased to announce that MUSA has received FAA for one of the products under the contracts novated across from Sabre Defence Industries LLC. This now releases $3.2m of the $10.6m of novated contracts awaiting FAA approval. Production will start this month with subsequent monthly deliveries starting in January 2014 for a period of about 2 years.

Glyn Bottomley, Manroy's Chief Executive, said: "The new UK order is the result of Manroy providing ongoing support and excellent service to this existing customer. The award of the FAA approval is a momentous step for MUSA and we look forward to completing the final FAA process for the remaining products."
