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.

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.

Kivver - 15 Mar 2007 11:25 - 134 of 184

im disappointed the share price is still less than it was at the same time last year, but the company are doing so much better. Perhaps expectations were to high last yeaR. The present state of the market doesnt help.

PapalPower - 25 Mar 2007 03:20 - 135 of 184

A post from Colin, as ever an excellent read, this time a review of Master Investor, and a mention in there for ACC.

Kivver - 25 Mar 2007 13:43 - 136 of 184

thats why I picked up on ACC in the first place, i visited the show last year, where they were very postive about ACC, the company has done well, forecast to do even better but the market hasnt recognised it yet.

silvermede - 29 Mar 2007 13:44 - 137 of 184

ACC gets a mention in Shares Mag today as a 2007 Penny Share Play.

skyhigh - 02 Apr 2007 07:45 - 138 of 184

Kivver - 02 Apr 2007 08:28 - 139 of 184

skyhigh - 02 Apr 2007 09:02 - 140 of 184

Kivver - 02 Apr 2007 13:00 - 141 of 184
