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.

Hope it can continue with these steps up

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

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

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

Had some positive upward moves

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

has to break this level !!

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

what do they know ?

Will wait for the results

Time to buy then... : - )

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..

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 !!!

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

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?

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 !

I got out yesterday at 6.75... not waiting for results

Access Intelligence - AVOID

Companies: ACC

26/07/2007

Shares in Jeremy Hamer-chaired compliance software and data management provider Access Intelligence have surrendered 27% after the group surprised the market with a slide into losses for the half to May.

On steady sales of 1.7m, last years 192,000 profit turned into a 114,000 loss before tax and exceptionals as Access' core data storage business Willow Starcom struggled in a cut-throat market and compliance software arm MS2M faced contract delays.

Chief executive Brendan Austin says to escape the low margins of data storage, the division will instead focus on email archiving. It could prove a prudent move as this is an extremely fast-growing section of the market, forecast by research firm IDC to grow by 34.5% a year to 2009.

Regarding virtual compliance officer provider MS2M, Austin assures that although its two biggest clients have not yet invoiced for current projects, they continue to buy products. To increase sales in this upper end of the market a new head is currently being hunted and to tap into the mid-market an online service is being launched in the fourth quarter.

The one bright spot at the interim was public sector compliance software subsidiary Due North, where recurring revenues grew 18%, dragging recurring group sales 10% higher. Due North won a crucial framework agreement during the half, allowing access to all public sector bodies in England and Wales without them needing to tender. Previous similar deals have seen it sign up 100% of fire authorities and 80% of police forces, reminds Austin.

With house broker Blue Oar predicting a return to profit at the full year, existing shareholders should hold on and hope. However, as a lot hangs on the success of new initiatives, newcomers should steer clear until they bear fruit.

glad I bailed out last week but should've waited a couple of days to get out at the "high".. still not complaining...

Expect this to drift down a bit more b4 it rebounds in 6months (imho) will then consider getting in again..

Was looking to buy a few months ago but saw the SP rise massively and so convinced myself i had missed the opportunity, but this collapse IMO presents a great buying opportunity. I'll see how the SP fares on Monday in the market of red, but will certainly be considering a buy in the next week.
