Touch Group plc
2005 AGM STATEMENT
02/06/2005

We have for the first five months of this year concentrated on the recruitment
of senior management to fill a number of strategic roles. We have also invested
considerable time and effort into establishing our new Java based global
directory services system and rebuilding our online metrics, which, as
anticipated, suffered during the changeover from our original service system.

The good news is that now we are back to the same levels prior to the
changeover.

During the changeover period Touch Directories has had a major redesign and we
launched this in May. This has been very well received by users, and the number
of businesses registered per day has doubled since the redesign was launched.
Traffic has been doubled and direct online sales are also moving up.

We have also concentrated on harnessing the wealth of technology and expertise
from our Touch Local division. With the high quality content and advertising of
Touch Briefings, we have developed a portfolio of unique vertical websites
targeting Touch Briefings' key technology and healthcare sectors.

Three vertical websites will be rolled out in 2005 with Touch Oil and Gas being
the first in the series. This will be launched at the end of this month. Touch
Oil and Gas is designed to bring together the exploration and production
community through a unique company, people and information search facility.

The site will provide users with access to an exclusive directory search of
16,000 companies and over 30,000 oil and gas executives, backed with Touch
Briefings' high quality content and analysis.

The verticals will allow existing Touch Briefings' customers to expand their
participation, whilst enabling our sales operation to target new businesses
outside publishing cycles throughout the year.

Touch Vision has just successfully completed the installation of a digital Art
gallery for the London South Bank University, a project which has created a
great deal of interest. We have also initiated on a number of significant sites
classical music which is used to discourage the unruly members of society. This
project has met with real success and a number of City councils are now looking
to install this system.

On 14th June at the Internet World Fair at Earls Court we will be showcasing
Touch Plaza, a major project, prior to its launch in July. Touch Plaza will
enable all sizes of businesses both large and small to sell online with ease,
offering them a fully integrated e-commerce solution with an Internet merchant
account, with the added bonus of customers being driven to their site.

This offering is not only unique it is very competitive and removes most of the
obstacles that businesses small and large face when they first decide to
seriously trade online.

The new Java based platform which is managed and operated from our London
offices, gives us expansion capabilities and a very speedy entry into any market
we choose to penetrate. The launch into the USA is taking place today as I speak
with our trial in New York City.

The site contains 300,000 businesses and covers the whole state of New York.
Users will be able to add reviews and businesses will be able to advertise on
the website using the Touch link product.

If we are successful in New York, we will implement a countrywide roll-out very
rapidly.

Our online traffic is now fast increasing on a regular basis and our new online
revenue has started to reflect this increase.

We have now established a strong operating base. The strategy now is to
concentrate on the building of revenues.

Touch Board Appointments

Our Company is growing fast with the addition of our new management recruits and
we have therefore taken the opportunity of strengthening our Board with two new

Hi All,

This is the New York trial !

[www.Touchnewyork.com]

Cheers,
Paul

Today could be the day !

Big overhang to clear but if the mm's keep it at 8-8.25p then there
will be buyers all over it.

It's deserves a rise, the chairman has repeatedly put his money where
his mouth is and bought millions and millions of Tou shares at all prices
from 20p downwards only to see the mm's mark it down lower.

For those interested in L2 Tou is a interesting play.

3 bid 1 offer at 8-8.25p, the next offer is 9.5p but here's the
catch, the mm on the offer has a overhang, can it be cleared ?
If so then there's a bounce in the shareprice.

Might be a buy order in Touch right now, despite a lack of buying
today and late yesterday the online bid has been creeping up and
there's size bidded too, been watching this stock for months now
and you have always been able to buy much more than you can sell
online due to the seller, today you can buy and sell 75k online which
is a positive for touch, from 7.5p yesterday to a current 7.85p now
so i think somebody is after stock.

I think that 50k protected at 8p mid price confirms it, seems
to match the small trades, a protected seller would get 7.75p
because you can buy at 8.05p with the mm so no real profit
for the mm if they give the seller 8p so pretty sure it's a buy.

Delayed 650k buy (1%) of the company !

If this is Isaacs again then he is getting very close to holding
30% of the company and thus forcing him to make a bid !

Anybody reading this ?

Still dropping, traders hoping for quick turn selling up, now imho
this looks incredibly cheap but others might not think the same.
It's only a matter of time before Isaacs makes a move again to
buy more or all the company if the price remains so low.

Isaacs can have mine back, bought this from 12p up to 18p and now wish I'd sold.

Merrill Lynch was the seller and they have none left looking
at their recent holding and today's matching trade so no wonder
the price has shot back up.

does anybody know if this is linked to "Touch Sport" as I can't find a direct refference and don't know if it is current or was a part that was sold off. I have been asked by a friend to look into Touch Sport as he is interested.
Thanks in advance . Graeme.
