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.

This from earlier this morning...

Access Intelligence (ACC) appeared in Derek Pains column in The Independent on Saturday, which noted the business seems to be doing the right things, but that the shares are weighed down by charity holdings of 11% and links with Interlink Foods dont help sentiment. There was no change in the share price of 5.75p earlier today.

Nar1 - 11 Jul 2007 22:15 - 149 of 184

Into this one... whens a RNS likely to boost this back up looks over sold and should kick back up !

pumben - 11 Jul 2007 22:25 - 150 of 184

Could be a while but need patience, probably a long term hold

skyhigh - 12 Jul 2007 07:09 - 151 of 184

Next results are 27thJuly... might be the RNS to change things for the better!

skyhigh - 12 Jul 2007 07:37 - 152 of 184

Sorry, it's THURSDAY, 26 JULY 2007 - interims

Nar1 - 12 Jul 2007 10:04 - 153 of 184

Hope it can continue with these steps up

Kivver - 12 Jul 2007 10:36 - 154 of 184

and me, ive been a while now and showing a slight loss, patience should be rewarded with this one.

AdieH - 12 Jul 2007 10:39 - 155 of 184
