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.

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.

Put in a buy order a few mintues ago, directors are buying which shows confidience and the business is strong with the new contract wins recently.

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Access Intelligence PLC said its chairman Jeremy Hamer bought 60,000 at 3.9 pence a share, lifting his stake to about 2.39 pct or 2.62 mln shares.

The software and computer services group also said chief executive Brendan Austin bought 50,000 shares at 3.8 pence a share, lifting his stake to about 3.01 pct or 3.31 mln shares.

UP 10% ON THIS NEWS IN A RED MARKET

Whilst it's always good to see directors buying we are talking about < 4500 in total. I bought into and sold ACC many months ago at almost breakeven, but have kept an eye on them since and maybe this is the time to re-enter.

i bought these after attending a shares show fronted by tom winifrith (or something like that) i think he runs T1ps.co.uk and is supposed be an expert at this kind of thing. Perhaps this is one he has got wrong. Does anyone know his track record. Showing a big loss now after being in this share fo about 18 months.

Kivver----- I expect his record is good but like everyone else he has his losers, a recent ish one is GOI to buy around 19p.
2517

another disaster. Has anyone had any success with T1P's run by TW??

the only success I had with TW was IQE..I bought in when he tipped it at about 11.5p. They didn't do anything for a while.. TW then changed IQE to a"sell" and after a while they went to 22pish... I sold at about 20p !

Below are some of my holdings that I think could do well next yr. IMHO of course!
Anyone have any others ?

HMB @19p
IVE @2.5p
PST @15p
NPE @13.5p
PXS @ 3p
MDC @4.5p
EDD @40p
MLR
MVW

BTW... I was Access Intelligence grp but got out earlier this yr at about 5.5p due to so many disappointments

and me SH, bought at about 6 and sold about 4, so lost a fair bit. Never will TW hold my attention again. I also like HMB and got in around 17p. I will have a look at some of your others.
I still like KMR even though there has been a big rise, i think it has more to go.

how is it the buys out number the sells by approx 3 to 1 but the price goes down?

Positive Trading Update http://uk-analyst.com/shop/page-article/action-article.show/id-130002524

ACC taking off.
