achieving significant organic growth from our existing businesses we have
delivered on our core objective to extend our offering and client base through
acquisition. Over the period we have succeeded in acquiring and integrating a
further three companies into the group, transforming Matrix into the UK's true
integrator of choice. As an enlarged Group we have recently won contracts with
Vodafone, B.A.R Honda and The London Internet Exchange and have engaged in a
number of talks for other exciting contracts. Looking forward, the challenge
for us now is to capture the consolidated cost efficiencies in the enlarged
Group and exploit the numerous cross-selling opportunities that are available
to us through our matured commercial relationships with our present client
base. In this period we have made great progress in turning the company around
and building a solid base of recurring revenues and high margin product mix
with leading blue chip companies. I look forward to reporting to you on our
future progress'

Multiple Contract Win

Matrix Communications Group plc (`The Group') is pleased to announce that it
has won a series of contracts with Guardian Newspapers Limited (`GNL').

Following these contract wins, the Group is now responsible for delivering a
complete array of integrated network solutions to GNL. Historically Matrix has
supplied network solutions to Guardian Unlimited (part of GNL) and following
today's contract wins will now supply GNL with network solutions and Voice over
IP (VoIP) solutions through its Matrix Network Solutions arm, VoIP solutions
through Decorum Networks, 24 hour technical support through Norwood Adam
Technical Services and security solutions through Intrinsic Networks ltd.

As such, Matrix Communications Group is now responsible for delivering a high
performance, cost-effective, reliable and secure network communications
solution to GNL.

Of specific importance to the Group is the combined nature of the contract
wins, which is testament to the Group's ability to capitalise on its commercial
relationships to maximise value through its cross-selling model. It has been
the specific intention of the Board to create a high quality single network
communications solution provider and the decision by GNL to extend its business
across the various entities of the Group is a significant landmark in achieving
this goal.

Ian Smith, CEO, commented:

'To date we have been extremely successful in creating a Group with the
potential to provide customers with a complete network communications solution
while maintaining a high degree of specialisation. For some time now we have
been aware of a growing demand for a network integrator that can deliver a high
performance network communications solution that is reliable, secure and fully
supported. With these contract wins I feel we have proven ourselves to be such
an integrator.

The GNL is a very high profile organisation and they have made clear from the
outset the high standard of network solutions they require in terms of
performance, reliability, security and support. I am extremely pleased to have
won the confidence of GNL and look forward to extending our offerings in a
similar fashion to both new and present customers'
