Access Intelligence is a group of companies delivering a range of business
critical support services to private and public sector organisations.
The team of Directors, Jeremy Hamer, Brendan Austin, Colin Davies, Ian Savage
and Alwin Thompson, has extensive experience in making successful acquisitions
while simultaneously driving organic growth: in less than two years since
flotation, Access Intelligence has acquired and successfully integrated five
businesses in four different market segments.

The Group Today

Today, Access Intelligence is a technology-based Support Services Business. It
harnesses the power of internet-based Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to deliver vital information and support services. Specifically these are:

* Digital marketing services and business development support.
* Online and offline data storage back-up and retrieval
* Sourcing and procurement software for both buyers and suppliers in
industry and local government
* Electronic news and current awareness digests of Government initiatives,
policies and finance affecting business, the professions and the public sector

The Business Model

The majority of the Group's income is from repeating revenues delivered through
recurring contracts ranging between one and five years. This model provides
excellent visibility of future revenues and, with effective customer retention,
outstanding gross margins over the longer term.

The Strategy for Growth

The strategy is to acquire businesses which have good management and high growth potential that fit the revenue model while, at the same time, adding value to the Group's existing services.

The businesses acquired will have substantial autonomy to develop within budgets
agreed with the Group Chief Executive and Finance Director, whilst benefiting
from the experience and cross selling opportunities provided by being part of an
expanding group of companies.

At this stage of the Group's development, the Central Group Executive Team,
which is based in York, will be kept to a maximum of four people, including
support staff. The Non-Executive Directors will continue to be involved in
sourcing and evaluating potential acquisitions and monitoring the performance of
the Group.

Nice to see a bit of life returning. The divorce settlement did put an dampener on ACC......it should not have, but it did.

FOR RELEASE 7.00AM 8 January 2007

Access Intelligence plc

("Access Intelligence" or "the Group")

"Software and computer services group providing critical and legislative driven
services to both public and private sectors on a recurring revenue basis"

Trading Update

* On track to deliver another year of excellent growth

* Confident of meeting full year forecast

* Net cash balances of 1.046m at 30 November 2006

* Budgeting for another year of significant growth

The Board of Access Intelligence is pleased to provide the following trading
update in advance of the results for 12 months ended 30 November 2006, which
are expected to be announced in early March 2007.

The business is on track to deliver a year of excellent growth and we are
confident that the results for the year will be in line with market
expectations.

Within our compliance software division, our procurement software business Due
North has performed relatively well despite extended deadlines in the public
sector implementing e-sourcing as part of the government's drive to reduce
public expenditure by 20bn a year by 2007/8. We have now delivered our portal
to the South East Centre of Excellence (SECE) which gives us direct access to
the largest group of local authorities in England and Wales. We have started
the process of selling our systems into the 74 authorities who sponsored the
portal. This week we have received a three year contract from West Yorkshire
Police Authority for an e-sourcing software suite, replacing the incumbent
supplier, which further demonstrates our leadership in this field.

Our data storage and recovery division has performed well and has a good
pipeline of opportunities going into 2007. Our focus for 2007 is in growing our
customer base in both compliance software and data backup and recovery.

The acquisition made in late October of Management Services 2000 will take us
into new areas in 2007 notably expanding our "virtual compliance officer"
product suite in the financial services sector particularly the general
insurance market.

We will be making significant investments in sales and marketing resource as
well as finance and admin to ensure we have the foundation on which to continue
to build our recurring revenues. We continue our policy of aggressive product
development to ensure we have current solutions to market needs.

We had cash balances at the 30th November of 1,046,442 and we continue to
search for suitable acquisitions.

Commenting on the trading update, Jeremy Hamer, Chairman, said:

"I am encouraged by the momentum created during 2006, particularly in view of
the slowdown in the public sector, and look forward to another year of
significant growth."

that's it then...SP will dive! what a disappointment.. nothing exceptional here.

skyhigh - 15 Mar 2007 08:50 - 132 of 184

Well, I suppose the good news is that the sp hasn't dived..yet.. market is hardly impressed with the numbers is it

silvermede - 15 Mar 2007 09:20 - 133 of 184

Skyhigh, don't forget this is a very small Cap company, not on most people's radars. The point with the results is that it is the evidence that the company has progressed from a loss making one to a profitable entity.
