downturn, achieved organic revenue growth. The disposal of Rocom, post year end
has strengthened our balance sheet. It also allows us to refocus on our core
divisions and capabilities with a view to continuing to reduce our levels of
debt while still growing profitably. Our Servassure division has performed well,
achieving 58% growth during the period. Significant new contract secured after
the year end reflects the market's confidence in our capabilities, which will
further underpin our future success. Despite these challenging times, I am
confident of the future prospects for the refocused Group and look forward to
updating shareholders with further news in due course."

AT Communications Group plc
Chairman's statement
I am pleased to report that despite a challenging trading environment, the Group
has continued to make progress during the period under review, with increases in
both revenue and underlying EBITDA. New contract wins and distribution
agreements with Amazon, AVAYA, Ericsson, De La Rue and Carpet Right during the
period have continued to support the organic growth of the business. This was
underpinned by a reduction in net debt in the second half of 2008 to GBP18.1m
This solid performance in a period of almost unprecedented economic volatility
reflect the strength of ATC's position within the market and its track record of
delivering quality solutions and services.
In addition, and in alignment with management's plan to address the debt
position, post period end it was announced that the Group's Rocom division has
been disposed of for a consideration of GBP12.45m, strengthening the balance
sheet. The Board will continue to focus its attention on cash, working capital
and net debt, as part of its development plan for 2009.
Following the disposal of Rocom, the Group has redefined its core operating
divisions to maximise the current and future market demands and opportunities.
ATC now consists of three divisions: Servassure, which continues to act as a
comprehensive ICT service provision and support division through Tier 1 Telco's
such as BT, Cable & Wireless and other strategic channel partnerships; Your
Network Services (rebranded from Rocom Network Services), which will build on
the inherent success of the Group's network services capability; and ATC
Solutions, rebranded and redefined to be more structured and targeted in its
approach to delivering ICT solutions to the retail market.
I believe this new structure creates a more focused and robust business model,
which combines best-of-breed industry partners and services to provide the next
generation ICT solutions.
During the period, management planned for the future and continued to invest in
the Servassure division, a successful strategy that has delivered revenue growth
of 58% during the period. For example, contract wins with OGC Buying Solutions,
opened up substantial opportunities in an GBP85m public sector market and have
been supported by further wins with Comet and post period end contract wins with
BT. In addition, the group's YNS division also experienced strong growth of over
20% during the period.
The new financial year has started well with further contracts wins with BT to
expand third party maintenance revenues and a series of IPT Healthcare contracts
with four NHS Primary Care Trusts, which will help us meet our 2009
expectations.
During the period we made an additional Board appointment and a board change. In
February 2008 Fred Hallsworth was appointed as non-executive director and in
July 2008, Andrew Parsliffe replaced Ian Crawley as Finance Director.
Post the period end, Alex Tupman, founder and Chief Executive of the Group
announced plans to step down as Chief Executive, The disposal of Rocom was a
catalyst for Alex to hand over to a new team. Whilst a permanent successor is
sought, Scott Kean, the Group's former COO, and Managing Director of the Group's
Servassure division replaces Alex as Interim CEO.
The Board, as well as the entire Company would like to thank Alex, as ATC's
founder and CEO for the past 10 years, for his exceptional contribution to the
business to-date.
Additionally, after nearly 4 years as chairman, I have decided to step down at
the forthcoming AGM. I am delighted to announce today however, that John Standen
joins the Board as Non Executive Director and will become Chairman following the
forthcoming AGM. John brings to the Board a wealth of experience gained within
the corporate finance sector including being CEO of Barclays Corporate Finance
Division of BZW. John is currently Chairman of Xploite plc, an IT data storage
business, Stanelco plc, a bioplastics business and a senior non executive
director of Lavendon Group plc Europe's market-leading 'powered access'
equipment rental group.
Following the disposal of Rocom, ATC is in a stronger position to respond to
economic conditions by focusing on high margin, strong recurring revenue,
communications service business capable of steady growth. This is underpinned by
both an improved balance sheet and cash flow profile.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff for their
exceptionally hard work during the period under review and look forward to
continued development and growth in the year ahead.

Interim Chief Executive's statement
OVERVIEW
During 2008, the Group invested in its continuing activities, Servassure and ATC
Solutions, in order to underpin the Group's future growth. This strategy has
been successful, particularly within Servassure, which has delivered an
excellent performance with a 58% increase in revenues during the period. This
has been underpinned by major contract wins and the creation of a forward sales
pipeline into 2009 and beyond.
Within ATC Solutions, contract wins include the roll out of IP telephony to
Primary Care Trusts such as Gloucestershire, Bristol, Luton and Bedfordshire, as
well as a resilient IP solution for East Midlands Ambulance Services 999 call
centre. This division also secured contract wins with De La Rue, the world's
largest commercial security printer, and Carpet Right, Europe's leading carpet
and floor specialist retailer.
I am delighted therefore, that post period end, Rocom's disposal has reduced the
Group's debt, profile and outlook. The Group is now streamlined and focused on
its core market with a healthy pipeline of new business and the wealth of
associated opportunities.
The Group is now well placed to capitalise on market opportunities as it focuses
on its central capabilities to support industry leading Telco's such as BT,
Cable & Wireless and Verizon and via its partnerships, to deliver best of breed
next generation ICT solutions.
RESULTS
Revenue & profit
In the twelve months to 31 December 2008, the Group's revenue increased by 11%
to GBP98.4m (2007: GBP88.4m). This increase reflects a fourth year in a row of
double digit organic growth. This was achieved despite the unprecedented
economic downturn in markets and is testament to the investments made during the
first half of the year; particularly in our Servassure division which itself has
seen 58% growth.
Gross profit increased by 13% to GBP40.3m (2007: GBP35.7m) again due to organic
growth and investments as noted above.
Gross margin from continuing operations has increased to 55% (2007: 54%) despite
highly competitive market conditions and is testament to the quality of our
service delivery and customer satisfaction.
Operating profit, before impairment, amortisation of intangible assets,
non-recurring costs and share based payments, increased by 3% from GBP7.7m to
GBP8.0m.
Underlying EBITDA increased by 4% to GBP8.7m (2007: GBP8.3m)
The following table sets out the trading and operating performance of the
Group's re-organised trading divisions including the Rocom discontinued

+-------------------------------------------------------+----------+------+------------+
Non-recurring costs are principally one off investments and restructuring costs
incurred in the Servassure division during the period under review.
Interest
The net interest cost for the Group for the year increased to GBP2.0m (2007:
GBP1.5m), due to higher debt levels in 2008.
Loss before tax
The consolidated loss before tax for the year was (GBP1.134m) (2007: profit of
GBP2.8m), due to the impairment and amortisation charge of goodwill and
intangible assets in Rocom of GBP5.898k (2007: GBP757k), being recognised in the
year prior to its disposal in March 2009.
Taxation
The taxation charge was a credit of (GBP510k) for the year as a result of over
provision from prior years. The taxation charge for 2007 was GBP362k which
reflected the use of tax losses brought forward from prior year as well as
credits from over payments made in prior years.
Earnings per share
Adjusted diluted EPS decreased to 7.5p (2007 7.9p) due to higher interest
charges. Basic and diluted earnings / (loss) per share for the year were (0.8p)
compared with 3.5p in 2007.
Dividend and dividend policy
In light of the Board's commitment to continue to reduce net debt, no dividend
is proposed for the period. The Board hopes to return to a progressive dividend
plan in the future.
Cash flow and Debt
The Group's net debt increased by GBP3.1m during the year to GBP18.1m (2007:
(GBP15.0m). This was principally due to increased working capital in Rocom and
investments made in the Servassure division during first half of the year.
Since the year end the Group has completed on the sale of Rocom Ltd for a total
consideration of GBP12.45m gross of fees, tax payments and expenses. GBP0.5m of
the consideration is deferred to until March 2010.
DIVISIONS
ATC has seen success with its encompassing approach to market, direct through
ATC Solutions and indirect through Servassure. The Group invested in Servassure,
particularly in developing new service and product offerings and strengthening
our data capability. The ATC Solutions division has also been redefined and
rebranded to meet the changing market needs, creating a more focussed business.
The Group has also further strengthened both in-house and channel support
processes to streamline and enhance operational effectiveness.
Moving forward, all the operating divisions are continuing to focus on and drive
higher margin, longer-term contracts, utilising the strengthened and new
service/product offerings now developed within the Group.
ATC Solutions
As part of ATC Solutions continued execution of its strategy, the division has
been restructured to give more focus and clarity to specific markets, developing
key vertical offerings, tailored to meet the more specific needs of these
individual markets. Late in 2008, the team was split into 3 core areas; firstly,
a business team focused on sub 300 employee organisations; secondly, a
nationwide Enterprise team focused on plus 300 employees; and finally, a
dedicated, specialist health team working with the NHS and other Blue Light
organisations. The Group is delighted to see that this restructure has resulted
in both increased order intake and pipeline. Wins include the roll out of IP
telephony to Primary Care Trusts such as Gloucestershire, Bristol, Luton and
Bedfordshire as well as a resilient IP solution for East Midlands Ambulance
Services 999 call centre. We also announced during the period, landmark
contracts with De La Rue, the world's largest commercial security printer, and
Carpet Right, Europe's leading carpet and floor specialist retailer. Both
contracts represent major client wins for ATC Solutions blue-chip and retails
portfolio.
ATC Solutions has now launched exciting, additional products into its portfolio,
including new mobile and hosted VoIP solutions, both of which have already
generated a high level of customer interest. In addition, ATC Solutions has
launched a unique per-seat pricing model with options based on cost savings,
enhanced efficiencies, growth and technology refresh, as part of a complete
managed service proposition. In the current climate, this move will enable
clients to achieve technology refresh without having to spend Capex as this
model effectively utilises an organisation's existing Opex spend.
The ATC Solutions division has also been rebranded and refocused on core
manufacturer and supplier relationships, enabling additional support from those
manufacturers and suppliers and a more strategic and targeted route to market.
The rebranding has centred around our people and the added-value expertise they
have.
Servassure
Servassure has seen growth of over 58% during the period driven by 32 new
partner agreements signed within its UK Channels sector alone. The white
labelled service offering has been well received with partners, enabling them to
offer additional geographical reach as well as additional services to their end
users. A new partner web portal has been launched providing partners with direct
and immediate access to price all services on-line and obtain support
collateral.
There has been over GBP1m of new maintenance contracts signed in the period and
a strong growth in pipeline. Alongside this, Servassure has strengthened its
data offering including new partnerships with CISCO and Juniper and launched a
number of already successful new services, including:
Inventory & Audit Services - enabling partners to understand exactly what
equipment, suppliers and billing make up a customers communications estate,
providing opportunities to upsell services and develop the Servassure managed
service proposition.
White labelled call centre - partners can utilise the Group's call centre staff
to handle calls within their own procedures enabling them to save on operational
overheads.
On Site Specialists - providing short and long term contractors for the Group's
partners, ranging from engineering, project and service managers through to
database analysts.
Your Network Services (YNS)
Formerly known as Rocom Network Services, Your Network Services forms part of
the Group's new divisional structure and enables Resellers to connect seamlessly
to ATC's voice and data network partners, thus benefiting from enhanced services
and beneficial pricing. YNS experienced growth of over 20% during the period.
To ensure ease of doing business, YNS recently launched an interactive web
portal, www.yourbrilliantportal.co.uk. This portal, also known as 'business in a
browser', gives partners one point of access into all of the Group's available
services and support infrastructure with the ability to connect, bill and manage
their customers accordingly. In addition, YNS has now successfully launched a
wholesale mobile offering as well as a managed hosted VoIP solution, all of
which will be shortly integrated in to the new portal.
Rocom
Rocom continued to expand and improve its brand portfolio with distribution wins
from Avaya, Ericsson and Siemens during the year. However, this was set against
a backdrop of declining sales and margins in Reseller and Corporate business.
Whilst going some way to counter this decline, the expanded portfolio increased
the working capital requirements of Rocom, resulting in a cash outflow for the
period of GBP2m and overall reduced margins.
Overall revenues declined by 3% during the period, whilst underlying operating
profit declined by 26%. In the first quarter of 2009, distribution activity
continued to decline as predicted, resulting in further decreases in revenues of
15% compared to the first quarter of 2008. This was set against a widely
acknowledged market decline in distribution activity of 25%.
PRODUCTS
The Group divides its product and service offerings into four broad product
areas, the income from which is shown in the following table together with the
income arising from discontinued activities:
+-------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+
| | 2008 | Restated | |
| | | 2007 | |
+-------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+
| | GBPm | GBPm | % Increase |
+-------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+
| Network Services | 18.8 | 16.1 | 17% |
+-------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+
| Maintenance | 9.9 | 8.1 | 22% |
+-------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+
| Systems Integration | 7.1 | 5.6 | 27% |
+-------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+
| Engineering | 17.2 | 13.4 | 28% |
+-------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+
| Discontinued | 45.4 | 45.2 | 0% |
+-------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-------------+
* 2007 restated figures are unaudited and have been calculated to provide a like
for like comparison following the post period end disposal of Rocom Ltd on 24th
March 2009.
Network services - the supply of fixed line and mobile voice and data services.
Maintenance - ongoing-support contracts for installed ICT systems.
Systems Integration - the design, project management and installation of ICT
Solutions.
Engineering - the provision of engineering services, including on site
specialists.
Discontinued - Rocom Ltd, the distribution of telephony hardware and
peripherals.
The table above demonstrates that our growth is being delivered through
continuing activities, and those that have since been discontinued were entering
decline. Substantial increases in Network services and maintenance continues the
trend of increasing contracted and recurring revenues. This has been underpinned
by growth in YNS (formerly Rocom Network Services) and the development of UK
Channels activity in Servassure, by tapping into additional markets outside of
BT, where we have also realised continued steady growth.
OUTLOOK
We have achieved a great deal during 2008, investing in the continuing areas of
our business and working on the disposal of Rocom, which we believe has
transformed the outlook for the Group. We have a refocused business, a
strengthened balance sheet and a pipeline of new business, which will further
enable the Group to grow in 2009 and beyond. This has already been demonstrated
by the success we have had with contract wins so far this year. We are confident
about our future prospects.

Notes to the preliminary results
1. Financial information
The financial information set out in this announcement does not constitute the
Group's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007 as
defined in Sections 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use by the European Union.
Whilst the financial information included in this preliminary announcement has
been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of
IFRS, it does not include sufficient information to comply with IFRS. The Group
expects to publish full financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2008, which comply with IFRS in April 2009.
The financial information has been prepared under the same accounting policies
adopted in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2007
The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2007 is
derived from the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2007 as
adjusted for the conversion from UK GAAP to IFRS. The statutory accounts for the
year ended 31 December 2007 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The auditors have reported on the IFRS 2007 accounts; their report was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 1985. The auditors have yet to sign their report on the 2008
accounts. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2008 will be
finalised on the basis of the financial information presented by the Directors
in this preliminary announcement and will be delivered to the Registrar of
Companies following the company's Annual General Meeting. Whilst the auditors
have not yet reported on the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December
2008, they anticipate issuing an unqualified report which will not contain
statements under Section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The financial
information set out in this announcement was approved by the Board of Directors
on 14 April 2009.

Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination are allocated
at acquisition to the cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit
from that business combination as follows:

The Group tests goodwill and intangible assets annually for impairment, or more
frequently if there are indications that they might be impaired.
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value in use
calculations. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those
regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected changes to selling
prices and direct costs during the period. Management estimates discount rates
using post-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the CGUs and the rates used were between 16%
and 19%.
The amortisation periods used for Tradenames and marks are 6 years with respect
to the Britannia acquisition and 20 years for the Rocom acquisition. The
amortisation period used for customer lists and contracts is six years.
Therefore the remaining amortisation periods are 4 years and 5 months for
Britannia Tradenames and customer lists and contracts.
The goodwill and intangible assets related to Rocom have been impaired to their
recoverable amounts and are included within current assets held for sale.
