                                  COMINO PLC:
                            OVERSEAS CONTRACT AWARD
                        #500,000 Australian Order Marks
                            Breakthrough For Comino

Comino  plc, the workflow technology and software applications group, has  won
its first order in Australia. Its Context Computers subsidiary, which provides
integrated management software for housing associations and local authorities,
has  been awarded a A$1.25 million (#500,000) contract by Australia's  Defence
Housing Authority (DHA).

The  Authority  chose  Context's CTX product after  a  select  tender  process
involving  a number of competing packages. It is expected that the new  system
will be fully implemented by March, 1999.

Comino  Chief Executive Garth Selvey commented: "It is particularly gratifying
to have won an order of this magnitude in Australia and from a client that was
formerly  committed  to an Oracle-based system. The decision  to  move  to  an
Informix-based system, such as Context CTX, will not have been taken  lightly.
Context  won out against a number of competitors, including prominent UK-based
suppliers."

The  DHA  is  responsible for meeting the housing requirements of  Australia's
Department  of  Defence  and provides IT services for  the  tenant  management
function. It manages 21,000 houses around Australia. The selection of  Context
as  a  replacement for the DHA's existing system was made after  the  DHA  had
teleconferenced a number of Context's UK customers. It was based on the degree
of  fit  between the functionality provided by Context and the DHA's  business
requirements - and Context's commitment to support the product outside the UK.
