Digital Barriers plc

- £1.5 million in new contract awards -

The Board (the "Board") of Digital Barriers plc (the "Group"), the specialist provider of advanced surveillance technologies to the security and defence sectors, is pleased to announce three contracts today that together should generate approximately £1.5 million of revenue in this financial year. Additionally, the Group's SafeZone-edge video analytics software has received notable industry recognition, giving confidence of further customer success.

TVI Surveillance Technology Contract Award

The Group has secured a contract with a major customer in the Asia Pacific region to supply its TVI video surveillance technology as an onboard vehicle solution into a national level police programme. The initial contract, valued at approximately £0.75 million, is expected to be fulfilled during this financial year and lead to material additional sales with the same customer in future years.

· The Group's TVI surveillance technology delivers real-time video surveillance significantly more efficiently than competing technologies, making it ideally suited to streaming live real-time video across cellular networks from moving vehicles.

· The Group offers a range of packaged TVI solutions for different applications, including vehicles, and these are now generating significant customer traction around the world.

· The Group recently launched a wider suite of TVI products, including those for high-definition video, IP video and software that runs on third-party devices such as industrial PCs, smartphones and tablets.

· The Group has also announced that its Cloud Video Platform is now under development, which will open up new markets for TVI technology.

Integrated Surveillance Platform Contract Award

The Board is also pleased to announce the Group's first contract for its Integrated Surveillance Platform with a commercial organisation for the protection of remote critical assets. This initial contract, which will generate around £0.18 million of revenue, follows a series of trials and is expected to lead to a much wider deployment over the coming months.

UK Services Framework Contract Award

The Board is also pleased to announce that the Group's UK Services division has signed a new framework contract with a customer government department for a significant programme of work, approximately £0.6 million of which should be delivered in this financial year with significant potential to grow in next financial year.

SafeZone-edge Industry Recognition

Finally, the Board is delighted to announce that its class-leading SafeZone-edge video analytics solution was the winner of Intruder Alarm or Exterior Deterrent Product of the Year at IFSEC's Security & Fire Excellence Awards 2014. SafeZone-edge launched in April 2014 as an alternative to the 'complex and costly' or 'simple and unreliable' offerings that have characterised the video-based intrusion detection market. The Group's edge-intelligent solution was designed for use on cameras and encoders from Axis, one of the world's leading camera manufacturers, providing organisations with compelling options for automated security. The IFSEC judging panel cited the superior performance, ease of use and market moving pricing of the product, as reasons for the SafeZone-edge quality over a strong field of new products to the market.

Zak Doffman, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Barriers commented:

"The three contracts announced today illustrate our expanding customer base in the UK and internationally. TVI is ideally suited for law enforcement agencies around the world, and the technology has proven itself time and again as the undisputed class-leader in delivering live video across limited or variable bandwidths, such as cellular networks. Meanwhile, as we continue to progress customer opportunities with major government agencies for our Integrated Surveillance Platform, we have also opened up opportunities with major commercial organisations with critical assets to protect, particularly in the oil, gas, energy and transportation markets. Combined with growth in our UK Services division, this all serves as evidence of strong progress for Digital Barriers."
