Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC (AIM:KTS) announces today that it has secured
initial customers for MarketTerminal, the company's real-time financial
information service primarily aimed at financial institutions.

reasons, these include a leading international investment bank and UK private
client stockbroker.

negotiations with a number of other potential City customers.

year. Having secured initial customers at this stage puts us in a strong
position to build sales and accelerate further growth. MarketTerminal provides a
robust solution to a broad range of market professionals from institutions and
stockbrokers alike and its cost-effectiveness makes it particularly attractive.'
