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.

pp,

I spoke with Brendon Austin at Master Investor 2006 on Saturday and he has another acquisition lined up which he says is a perfect fit for the group as whole and is very complimentary to what they are doing. But of course a deal isn't a deal until signed and accepted by shareholders etc etc. But with the new Tip from the T1ps.com spin off UKMicrocap with the target of 14.5p (By Xmas in Tom Winnifrith's view) things are looking better. Hopefully the stock overhang caused by certain charities selling will quickly clear. Good luck to all.

At last! the SP turns good.. now just above breake even... if it doubles from here in the next 6-9mths then good show. bring it on! (although horrified by the reference to Tom W..(usually the kiss of the death!)

2517GEORGE - 27 Apr 2006 11:01 - 74 of 184

I don't think I'll ever understand shares properly, 7 trades, all positive and the bid price is dropped 0.75p. I guess the mm's are having fun.

Kivver - 27 Apr 2006 11:18 - 75 of 184

ditto, how do u work out when or if the mm's are avin a laff or it is genuine???

skyhigh - 27 Apr 2006 11:19 - 76 of 184

not good good George as you say but.... good time to get some more... this'll drift for a few months then pick up over the summer towards the next results.. It'll come good.. (imho)

2517GEORGE - 27 Apr 2006 11:29 - 77 of 184

skyhigh, I'm sure it will come good, I am in profit with these but I think there is far more to come imo. I believe it's one of many excellent co's that suffer because they are under researched and not on the map as it were.

Kivver - 27 Apr 2006 12:04 - 78 of 184

oh, just ignore me why dont ya, im not bitter!

2517GEORGE - 27 Apr 2006 12:13 - 79 of 184

Kivver, I'm not ignoring you, like yourself, I don't know. It would be nice to figure out the MM's mind, perhaps that's the answer - nobody knows.

2517GEORGE - 27 Apr 2006 15:44 - 80 of 184

After more than 220k buys & no sells we are back to where we started this morning hmmm.
2517

skyhigh - 27 Apr 2006 16:35 - 81 of 184

Looks like people got more and the price went up..Peeps have this on the watch list and are diving in when it drops... as you say.... hmmmmm

Kivver - 28 Apr 2006 09:06 - 82 of 184

lets hope the expectation of this share will be realised i have no doubt the company will flourish but will the market regonise it? Always a danger with smalll cap shares.

skyhigh - 28 Apr 2006 10:11 - 83 of 184

encouraging hike in the bid this morning.... wonder what's been going behind the scene this week to make it go up & down like a yo-yo!

2517GEORGE - 28 Apr 2006 11:05 - 84 of 184

Kivver/skyhigh... maybe another acquisition in the wings, on 02/12/05 they mentioned that the pipeline of potential acquisitions remained buoyant and, they still had net cash in excess of 600,000.

PapalPower - 28 Apr 2006 12:02 - 85 of 184

Its the ACC yo-yo effect :)

When they shake it down, then you know there is a buy around, so it will go back up :)

PapalPower - 01 Aug 2006 08:16 - 86 of 184

Nice set of results today, good progress and outlook.

skyhigh - 01 Aug 2006 09:23 - 87 of 184

Yes... It's looking good ! onwards and upwards..

2517GEORGE - 01 Aug 2006 09:39 - 88 of 184

Yes very promising , we could be looking at eps for the full year of around 0.45p.

skyhigh - 01 Aug 2006 10:09 - 89 of 184

Kivver - 01 Aug 2006 10:09 - 90 of 184
