Interim Results

Access Intelligence PLC 27 February 2004 ACCESS INTELLIGENCE PLC CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS Period from 13 June 2003 to 30 November 2003 Results During its first trading period, the group has incurred a loss of £26,000 due to initial consultancy and administration charges. On 28 November we acquired the issued share capital of Readco 261 Limited, which had three operating subsidiaries, The Marketing Guild Limited, Wired Gov Limited and Back up and Running plc. All three businesses provide services on a subscription basis to small and medium sized businesses. Outlook In the first trading months of the year the group has started several new initiatives, which should increase subscription and other revenues. In the Marketing Guild we have launched a Platinum Plus service to our membership base, which provides a higher level of service and support. This should enhance income and also improve retention rates In Wired Gov we have signed two agreements, one to make our information available to an international subscriber base and the other to sell advertising on the Web Site. It is too early to measure the success, however, we are optimistic that both contracts will yield strong revenue In Back up and Running we have relaunched the service to our reseller network and increased our technical support. We continue to look for other acquisitions that will expand our subscriber base and increase cross-selling opportunities Ian Savage Chairman 27 February 2004 Background note: Access Intelligence has three operating subsidiaries: • The Marketing Guild which provides marketing advice and support to small and medium sized businesses. This is in the form of newsletters, consultancy, lead generation and members services. • Wired Gov provides an online information service delivering press releases from over 100 government and public sector bodies. Subscribers can customize the service specifying the agency or topic they require. • Backup and Running plc provides an online data storage and disaster recovery service which the client can customize to their own requirements. The service offers significant advantages over other alternative systems in that it backs up automatically and can provide a complete backup history for at least three years. All companies operate on a subscription basis and the group intends to focus on the revenue method as a solid platform growth both organically and by acquisition.
