Paros to be granted EU Patent

    23 March 2007

                                   ParOS plc                                   

                          ("ParOS" or the "Company")                           

                         ParOS to be granted EU patent                         

The Company's European Patent Attorneys received confirmation today from the
European Patent Office that a patent will be granted to ParOS for use of its
parametric Model Predictive Control ("MPC") technology. ParOS technology uses
parametric optimisation techniques to determine MPC solutions offline that run
online with low cost process controllers.

Patrick McHugh, Chairman of ParOS, said: `The grant of an EU patent for ParOS
is an important stage in the commercialisation of our technology. The patent is
expected to enhance the Company's ability to generate sales'.

Background Information on ParOS

ParOS advanced optimisation and control solution technologies have been
developed by a team, led by Chief Technology Officer, Professor Pistikopoulos,
at Imperial College's Centre for Process Systems Engineering, over the last 15
years. ParOS became a spin-out company from Imperial College in January 2002
providing energy saving advanced optimisation and control solutions to
industry. In March 2006 ParOS plc was admitted to trading on AIM with a view to
commercialising its existing technologies and to utilising its intellectual
property pipeline agreement with Imperial College.

Advanced control, referred to as Model Predictive Control ("MPC"), is achieved
by repeatedly solving optimisation problems online to determine the best
control action, given the sensor measurements at any given time and a desired
target value for these measurements. Until now providing hardware and software
applications to support MPC has been expensive and time consuming. ParOS
technology overcomes these obstacles using parametric optimisation techniques
to determine MPC solutions offline that run online with low cost process
controllers. ParOS' solutions are currently installed in the Automotive (Active
Valve Train) and the Process (Air Separation Systems) Industries.

ParOS is developing control solutions for the energy systems of the future
including hydrogen storage in solid metal hydrides and portable and standby
hydrogen based fuel cells for use in power generation and transportation.
