continued support and welcome our new institutional shareholders.  Their
investment in Smartlogik is a significant vote of confidence both in the
strength of our solutions and the future of our company in the fast growing
knowledge management sector.

"I would also like to thank our customers for supporting us during this
difficult time.  We can now proceed with the business of enabling them to
unlock the value of their information, which will in turn deliver real value
to our shareholders."
