Trading Statement

ITIS Holdings PLC 11 April 2005 11th April 2005 ITIS HOLDINGS PLC ('ITIS' or 'the company') TRADING UPDATE ITIS Holdings plc, a leading road traffic information and data specialist, today announces a trading update for the financial year ended 31st March 2005. ITIS is very pleased to announce that it has traded profitably at Group level in the second half of the financial year even after charging all development costs (including those associated with Estimotion). This will clearly have a beneficial impact on the full year results to 31st March 2005, which will be somewhat ahead of market expectations. ITIS dominates the RDS-TMC market providing real time traffic information to sixteen manufacturers who have standardised this service on their satellite navigation platforms. We fully expect to maintain our dominant position by continuing to offer the only national high quality service. ITIS has focussed entirely on the development of content and does not sell hardware navigation systems to compete with the PDA and aftermarket manufacturers, enabling us to work closely with them in this fast growing market. We will report more fully on our relationships in this market as part of our year end report. We continue to be very pleased with the progress of our Estimotion technology which we now call Cellular Floating Vehicle Data ('CFVD'). CFVD uses a low cost and patented technology to provide a unique system for measuring traffic flow based on anonymously sampling the position of mobile phones. Our deployments in Baltimore (USA) and Antwerp (Belgium) are now producing results on par with the established service in Israel whilst the system in Scotland will be deployed next month. Of particular importance is the experience we have gained from working with three new major mobile networks, as previously CFVD had only been deployed using one network in Israel. Now that we have real time data from four countries to show potential customers, we can now move quickly to capitalise on the significant interest which has developed since we acquired Estimotion and to exploit the international potential that CFVD has. NavTrak has had an excellent year and our strategy of working directly with vehicle manufacturers to install units in the factory has enabled us to leverage our relationships in general with the automotive industry and to minimise the administration and marketing associated with selling tracking devices in the aftermarket environment. Recently NavTrak gained Thatcham Category 5 accreditation which is the new insurance standard for Stolen Vehicle Tracking systems. Stuart Marks, Chief Executive, said: 'We are very encouraged by the growth and progress of the business and in particular our financial performance, which is a reflection of rising demand for all of our services and tight cost control. We are confident that we will continue to consolidate and grow our position in the UK whilst using CFVD to embark on a controlled expansion into new markets overseas.'
