                  Placing to raise £3 million at 10p per share

Access Intelligence plc ('Access Intelligence' or 'Company'), the AIM listed
marketing services company, is pleased to announce a placing to raise £3
million, before expenses. The Placing will provide additional funds to finance a
number of potential acquisitions and provide additional working capital for the
development of the Group. Corporate Synergy, the Nominated Adviser and Broker to
the Company, has conditionally placed 30,000,000 new Ordinary Shares with
institutional and other investors at 10 pence per share. The Placing has not
been underwritten.

In order to effect the Placing the Company has convened an Extraordinary General
Meeting to be held on 13 December 2004.

Background

The Company was incorporated in June 2003 and in November of that year acquired
Access Intelligence Limited. Access Intelligence Limited was incorporated in
November 2000 and acquired The Marketing Guild in December 2000 and both Wired
Gov and Backup and Running in October 2003. The common links between these
acquisitions are that they provide practical services and advice to small and
medium sized companies and the services provided are subscription-based and
provide a foundation for expansion by means of recurring annual revenues.
Further information on the Group's businesses is set out below.

Strategy

The Group's strategy is to establish a portfolio of companies which provide
information, advice and services to small and medium sized businesses on a
subscription basis. The Directors believe that this model provides high levels
of repeat business, and thus high quality revenues, together with cross selling
opportunities within the Group.

The Group's existing businesses are performing well and are approaching
breakeven. Furthermore the Directors believe that they have exciting growth
prospects, but their scale is insufficient to provide an adequate return on
capital, taking into account central overheads and the costs of being a public
company. Accordingly, the Directors intend to expand the business by acquisition
and build a group with critical mass and strong cashflows.

The Directors have identified a number of potential acquisitions and have
entered into the early stages of negotiations with their owners. However, as at
the date of this document, no agreement or understanding regarding any of these
potential acquisitions has been reached.

The Directors are of the view that the Company will be seen as an attractive
acquirer by the vendors of businesses if it is able to demonstrate to them that
it has the necessary cash to effect acquisitions. Accordingly, the Placing
provides the Company with resources that enable it to potentially move quickly
to make future acquisitions.

The Placing

The Company is proposing to raise £3 million, before expenses, by way of a
placing of 30,000,000 new Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the Placing Agreement,
the Placing Shares have been conditionally placed by Corporate Synergy, subject
to the terms of the Placing Agreement, at 10 pence per share with institutional
and other investors. The Placing has not been underwritten.

The Placing is subject, inter alia, to the Placing Agreement having become
unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms and
Admission becoming effective on or before 14 December 2004 or such later date as
Corporate Synergy and the Company may agree:

The Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares and
will rank in full for any dividends and other distributions paid or made in
respect of the ordinary share capital of the Company. The total costs, charges
and expenses relating to the Placing are estimated to amount to approximately
£175,000. Pursuant to the Placing, the directors have agreed to subscribe for,
in aggregate, 705,000 Placing Shares.

Commenting on the fundraising, Jeremy Hamer, Chairman of Access Intelligence
said:

'We are determined to build Access Intelligence into a broadly based Group with
a number of subscription based businesses. Our existing business have all made
good progress since the flotation in December last year and this fundraising
will provide the additional resources to enable us to develop the business
further.'
