                               TRADING STATEMENT


SectorGuard Plc, the AIM listed total security solutions specialist, is pleased
to announce a trading update ahead of publishing results for the September 30
year-end.



  * SectorGuard has continued to develop its range of products and services in
    addition to its physical security presence business.  Products and services
    now include cctv, access control, asset tagging, fire and intruder alarm
    systems and security personnel to operate these systems. Consequently, the
    Company can tailor security solutions to its clients' requirements and
    budgetary constraints.



  * The Company has also expanded its regional presence by establishing an
    office in the Midlands as well as adding to the number of clients where the
    Company provides a nationwide service.



  * SectorGuard has made four acquisitions in the past year including:  the
    manned guarding businesses of West Midlands based Choice Security Services
    Limited, and East Midlands based Nationwide (GB) Limited; the electronic
    security systems company SectorAlarm Limited; and the asset tagging business
    Asset Protection (EAS) Limited.



  * The Company has taken a leading role in the development of the Approved
    Contractor Scheme, which will be launched by the industry regulators, the
    Security Industry Authority ("the SIA"), as part of regulatory changes
    following the licensing of security officers in March 2006.



  * The probable impact of licensing on future profits is as yet
    unquantifiable; however SectorGuard is positioning itself to be an early
    beneficiary of any re-distribution of turnover within the industry by
    working with the SIA to achieve early accreditation as an Approved
    Contractor.



  * In order to meet the requirements to license its existing security
    officers, the Company is required to re-train its officers to the new
    uniform level. This training is subsequently examined by an approved
    examining board.  The Company is five months ahead of the licensing cut-off,
    having already re-trained 95% of its security officers.



  * SectorGuard has continued to win valuable new contracts and generate
    growth from existing contracts as well as produce significant profit from
    its new business streams. As a result, full year profits are expected to be
    in line with market forecasts.  The Board looks forward to reporting on the
    Company's progress in greater detail in this year's financial report.



                                  * * ENDS * *
