 attached: (ii) 
----------------------------------------------------------  ----------  ---------- 
 2 Reason for the notification (please tick the appropriate box 
  or boxes): 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 An acquisition or disposal of voting rights 
----------------------------------------------------------------------  ---------- 
 An acquisition or disposal of qualifying financial 
  instruments which may result in the acquisition of 
  shares already issued to which voting rights are attached 
----------------------------------------------------------------------  ---------- 
 An acquisition or disposal of instruments with similar 
  economic effect to qualifying financial instruments 
----------------------------------------------------------------------  ---------- 
 An event changing the breakdown of voting rights 
----------------------------------------------------------------------  ---------- 
 Other (please     The shareholding has been diluted since                       X 
  specify):         we crossed the 5% threshold in February 
                    2011. The total voting rights of Accsys 
                    Technologies Plc has increased since the 
                    filing in February 2011 and we are now making 
                    this filing as our shareholding decreased 
                    below the 5% threshold due to the increase 
                    in the total voting rights.
