Proven and new business keeps rolling for ULT.

The Education side should do well particularly with regards to the institutions duty of care to young adults and level of mental illness suicide at present in this sector as depicted in the media.

Like wise the legal obligation on PCTs to provide computerised cognitive behavioural therapy and ULT being the only provider of a programme which is approved by the Government.

At present only 50% of PCTs have met this legal obligation and as we know ULT has taken a major slice of those that have.

Notes to editors:

About Ultrasis plc

Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) is the psychological treatment of choice for
people suffering from anxiety and depression, but the cost of a course of face
to face treatment (750) and the shortage of therapists has seriously hampered
provision, with waiting times in some areas stretching up to two years. NICE
clinical guidelines for depression and anxiety (published in Dec 2004)
emphasised the importance of this therapy and at the same time recommended that
sufferers from mild depression should not, initially, be given drugs and
self-help material, preferably based on CBT, should be offered.

Beating the Blues is an eight-week, web-based treatment programme for depression
based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Following a rigorous examination by the
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), 'Beating the
Blues' was approved by NICE in February 2006 with a requirement that it be made
available across the NHS as an option for all people with mild and moderate
depression.

Guidance arising from NICE Health Technology Assessments is binding on the NHS
and, based on undertakings from ministers, implementation of guidance was
expected to be funded within twelve months of publication.

However, this timetable to implement was in effect extended by another year to
2007/8, when the Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt, then the Secretary of State for Health,
at the MIND conference in March 2007 speaking approvingly of 'Beating the
Blues', said: 'Computer-based therapy for milder, but more common mental health
conditions such as depression and anxiety should be made available to any
patients in England who could benefit from it from April 2007,' a deadline of
days, impossible to achieve.

This commitment was reiterated in the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) of
November 2007, when the Rt Hon Alan Johnson MP, the new Secretary of State for
Health, announced the provision of another 170m for the Improving Access to
Psychological Therapies programme.

In defiance of declared government policy PCTs prove persistently slow to
implement. The ineffective response of senior staff in the DH and ministers is
to advise patients to complain. We do receive a steady and growing stream of
inquiries from members of the public asking why their GPs are not able to
provide BtB. Ultimately over 3 million people per year should benefit from
Beating the Blues(R) at costs a fraction of those for providing face to face
therapy or antidepressants

Beating the Blues(R), unlike many of the existing methods used to provide
'talking therapies', does not require years of expensive therapist training
before it can be deployed to patients, is available at times that suit the
patients' needs , can be increased in volume to meet demand and is based on the
principle of individual empowerment, enabling people to take more control of
their own health profile, reducing long term dependency on health systems.

Seven out of Ten patients suffering from depression who used Beating the
Blues(R) required no further treatment. Waiting lists for face to face therapy
extend to 18 months in some areas. Deployment of Beating the Blues(R) will cut
these to a matter of days and help deliver another of the government's major
commitments, the 18 week pathway.

Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and interactive multimedia, and is the world leader in
the field. The products help people tackle stress, anxiety and depression, and a
