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.

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

Same here showing a loss but I think the company is turning around and its been tipped in a few places...

Nar1 - 12 Jul 2007 10:49 - 156 of 184

Some good buys in altough vol is quite thin not bad lets see if it can hold

Nar1 - 18 Jul 2007 19:34 - 157 of 184

Had some positive upward moves

johnstonp - 18 Jul 2007 21:38 - 158 of 184

only 41 thousand traded and all before noon. Needs patience.

Nar1 - 19 Jul 2007 13:56 - 159 of 184

has to break this level !!

pumben - 19 Jul 2007 21:48 - 160 of 184

Shares magazine write up this week but was suggesting it was timeto sell

skyhigh - 20 Jul 2007 07:52 - 161 of 184

what do they know ?

Will wait for the results

AdieH - 20 Jul 2007 08:07 - 162 of 184

Time to buy then... : - )

2517GEORGE - 20 Jul 2007 09:08 - 163 of 184

I sold out of these some time ago @ a very small profit and just above current sp, I am thinking of revisiting but like a lot of small co's they need so much time to make meaningful profits. The director buying above is actually peanuts in value, I would like to see worthwhile purchases to indicate better times ahead, but then the sp would move up anyway on that buying. Decisions! Decisions!

Sorry guys...Decided to bail out this morning afterall... at a small loss..(with my luck it'll probably go up now)

Have topped up on IVE instead which seems to be on the up..

Nar1 - 20 Jul 2007 16:58 - 165 of 184

Yes Pumben I did see that however they were updating on stocks they had tipped earlier in the year. Shares magazine article stated ACC now had reached its 'stop loss' level they had suggested however it would be one worth looking at in the future...

Looks like their tip to sell was all wrong..... been rising all this week and I think this will continue up until the results next week on Thursday..

BUY !!!

Nar1 - 20 Jul 2007 17:04 - 166 of 184

Looks like both MA and MACD are all positive...........

AdieH - 23 Jul 2007 09:31 - 167 of 184

Looks like Shares Mag got this one totally wrong... what are people's views on the sp after Thursdays results do you think we will slip back and is this increase only due to people buying on expected results?

pumben - 23 Jul 2007 23:40 - 168 of 184

Nar1, time will tell. Earlier this year the company did have good newsflow but it didn't set the SP alight then so for it to do better will require some very good news to accompany the results. We can only pray !
