Chief Executive Officer's Statement


Overview

In my report to shareholders on 30 June 2006 I referred to the disposal of the
loss making and cash draining European distribution subsidiaries and the
necessary cost reduction programme that had to be carried out in both the UK
Distribution and Managed Services divisions.  I ended by saying that going
forward the Group's senior management team needed to focus its attention on
profit making.

I am pleased to report that we have achieved this and the good trading results
before exceptional items for the first half-year contrast those reported one
year ago.  Whilst much remains to be achieved we have made significant progress
to improve medium term profitability.

The comparative information given below includes the results of the Group's
continuing operations and excludes those of the European Distribution business
sold on 31 March 2006.



Trading and operating performance

  * Group turnover during the first half year of the year was #107.8M (2005: 
    #96.9M), an increase of 11%.  Gross profit was #20.0M (2005: #18.5M), an
    increase of 8%.

  * Earnings before interest, tax, amortisation of goodwill and exceptional
    charges were #2.7M (2005: #1.0M), an increase of 170%.

  * The Group operating loss from continuing operations was #4.6M (2005: #4.0M 
    loss).  Total Group loss sustained for the period after interest, taxation
    and all charges was #6.0M (2005: #13.8M).

  * The Group ended the period with gross cash of #8.8M (30 September 2005:
    #7.4M, 31 March 2006 #12.7M) and net debt including finance leases and term
    loans of #10.1M (30 September 2005: #25.0M, 31 March 2006 #19.5M).  During 
    the first half of this financial year cash received from the sale of the 
    European subsidiaries was #16.5M.

  * In preparing this interim statement we have adopted FRS 20 'share-based
    payment'.  The net effect of this change in policy for the period has been 
    to increase net operating expenses by #0.2M (2005: #0.1M).  Prior year 
    comparatives have been restated accordingly (see note 1 for further 
    information).



Specialist Distribution division trading review

Revenues increased to #94.1M (2005: #84.9M) but gross margins decreased to 10.6%
(2005: 11.3%) as the margin squeeze from both vendors and customers continued.
Earnings before interest, tax, amortisation of goodwill and exceptional charges
were #1.8M (2005: #0.6M).  Exceptional charges of #5M in respect of goodwill
impairment (note 3) were incurred in the period (2005: #1.6M).  Operating loss
was #4.2M (2005: #2.2M loss).

The cost reductions initiated last year, combined with our withdrawal from high
volume low margin business particularly in the security software division,
helped to alleviate the pressure on gross margins.  The sales force continued to
concentrate on developing new business with smaller customers where gross
margins are better.



Sale of Specialist Distribution division

In my discussions about last year's full year results I said that over the next
few years there will be consolidation across Europe of both Distributors and
Reseller partners.  We were approached during this year by a leading US
distributor, Arrow Electronics Inc ('Arrow'), and, on 6 December 2006 signed
contracts to sell the Specialist Distribution division with completion on 29
December 2006.  The sale is conditional on EU Merger clearance being obtained
and on there being no material adverse change affecting the business..  Some 200
staff will transfer to Arrow on completion thereby reducing Group headcount to
165.  There will be a corporation tax liability arising on the deal which will
be confirmed once completion accounts are agreed.  Based on the anticipated
level of sale proceeds from the transaction compared to the book value of the
assets to be disposed a #5.0M impairment of goodwill has been booked.

I am delighted by this announcement which will enable us to concentrate entirely
on the Managed Data Services division which has consistently had higher gross
margins.  Furthermore, I am pleased that Arrow is the acquirer.  They will
endeavour to grow the business and there are no planned redundancies.



Managed Data Services division

Revenues were #13.7M (2005: #12.0M), an increase of 14% despite the churn of
some large contracts having annualised revenues of #2.4m.  Gross profit margins
were 73.3% (2005: 74.0%).  Operating costs rose to #9.2M (2005: #8.4M) mainly
due to investment during this half year in the new Managed Voice Services
division, electricity cost increases not recovered and certain large one-off
technology cost increases as we migrated data services to a new low cost
delivery.

Operating profit before interest, tax, amortisation of goodwill and exceptional
charges was #0.8M (2005: #0.5M).  There were no exceptional charges in this half
year (2005: #1.1M).  The division achieved operating margins before amortisation
of goodwill and exceptional items of 6.1% (2005: 3.9%) compared to 2.1% (2005:
0.7%) in Distribution.  The divisional operating loss was #0.3M (2005: #1.8M).

We have won a number of new clients in the past six months and significant
contract wins were from Smith &Nephew, DLA, TubeLines, Principal Hotels and
UKERNA.  We have successfully reduced our rate of customer churn during H1 to
less than 3% per annum (FY 2006: 9.7%).

Importantly we have successfully relocated and reorganised the division in
Harrogate.  I believe we now have the correct structure in sales, service
delivery and support to help drive forward an expanding and profitable business.

We continue to develop and enhance products in both data and voice service
businesses and are optimistic for the future.



Mobile Tornado plc

During October 2006 we invested #4M cash in Mobile Tornado plc giving
InTechnology a 42% holding.  Predating InTechnology's investment, both myself
and Richard James, Director of Legal Affairs and Company Secretary, together
hold a further 16% as private investors.

Mobile Tornado owns intellectual property in an exciting part of the mobile and
fixed line telco sector.  It continues to develop its technology in the push to
talk, push to mail and push to video applications, and is already a strategic
supplier of technology to major infrastructure providers in the long awaited IMS
rollout.  We believe that Mobile Tornado should have adequate cash following our
investment to successfully prove its technology to a global market and will
therefore prove an excellent return on our investment.

Furthermore it importantly provides InTechnology with a unique managed services
product to market in the UK and we are confident that the investment can be
justified on this offering alone.  However, this is not expected to earn
revenues and gross margins until FY 2008.



Outlook

We have turned the Group around in reducing the losses of a year ago.  Net debt
has been reduced and the funds generated by the sale of the Specialist
Distribution division will eliminate all debt, finance the recent Mobile Tornado
investment and possible further acquisitions.

Following the sale of the Specialist Distribution business, Managed Services is
the sole engine for increasing Group profitability and we have the opportunity
to reposition ourselves in the market as a Reseller instead of a Distributor.
High margins from recurring service revenues together with tight control of
costs are the future.  We have said many times in the past that Managed Services
can achieve operating margins greater than the gross margins in Distribution.
We now aim to prove this in the next few years by organic growth, possible
acquisitions and the continued development of data and voice solutions to
businesses in both the private and public sectors.  I have every confidence that
as a more focused Group we will experience increased revenues and profits as we
move forward.

Notes to the interim financial information
For the 6 months ended 30 September 2006


1. Basis of preparation

The financial information included in this interim statement for the 6 months
ended 30 September 2006 does not constitute statutory accounts within the
meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985 and is not audited or reviewed.
In preparing this interim statement, management have adopted FRS 20
'share-based payment'.



Share Based Payments

The adoption of this standard represents a change in accounting policy and the
prior year comparatives have been restated accordingly.  The effects of the
change on net operating expenses and the tax credit for the period ended 30
September 2005 and the year ended 31 March 2006 are summarised as follows:

The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of
the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over
the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options
granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example,
profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are
included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest.
At each balance sheet date, the group revises its estimates of the number of
options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to
original estimates, if any, in the profit and loss account, with a corresponding
adjustment to equity.  The proceeds received net of any directly attributable
transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share
premium when the options are exercised.

                                                                      #'000             #'000
Period ended 30 September 2005 (unaudited)
As previously stated                                               (35,743)               400
Restated                                                           (35,875)               440

Year ended 31 March 2006
As previously stated                                               (55,298)               451
Restated                                                           (55,562)               530


The net effect of the change in policy in the year ended 31 March 2006 is to
increase net operating expenses by #264,000, increase the tax credit on the loss
on ordinary activities by #79,000 and increase the loss sustained for the
financial year by #185,000.

The cumulative effect of implementing the policy is to increase Group reserves
at 31 March 2006 by #174,000 (2005: #95,000).  The changes are summarised as
follows:


                                                  Share option    Profit and     Shareholders'

The segmental analysis above excludes net interest payable of #790,000 (30
September 2005: #1,134,000, 31 March 2006: #2,226,000) which is not analysed by
business segment.


3. Exceptional impairment charge

The Board has conducted an impairment review of the carrying value of goodwill
arising on the acquisition of HOLF Technologies Limited and VData Limited in
July 2000 together with the Allasso Group of companies in July 2003 in
accordance with FRS 11 'Impairment of fixed assets and goodwill'.

The Directors have considered the recoverable amounts by reference to the net
present value of estimated current and future cash flows of the relevant income
generating units.

The Directors considered it appropriate to use a cost of capital relevant to the
risks and stage of development associated with each income generating unit.




Notes to the interim financial information
For the 6 months ended 30 September 2006


The exceptional impairment arises in respect of HOLF Technologies Limited and
Allasso UK and referred to as the Group's UK Distribution Division, the after
tax cost of capital used being 7.1%.  In light of the sale of the UK
Distribution Division on 6 December 2006 to Digital Network Services (UK)
Limited, the Directors have concluded that the carrying value of the assets,
including goodwill, exceed the higher of net realisable value and value in use
by #5,000,000, and accordingly an impairment charge of this amount has been made
in the profit and loss account for the period ended 30 September 2006.



4. Tax on loss on ordinary activities

The corporation tax charge for the 6 months to 30 September 2006 is #641,000 (30
September 2005: #440,000 credit, 31 March 2006: #530,000 credit).  Taxation has
been calculated by applying the directors' best estimate of the effective tax
rate for the period, which is 34% (30 September 2005: 29% in the UK and
approximately 2% in respect of discontinued European operations, 31 March 2006:
16% in the UK and approximately 2% in respect of discontinued European
operations) to the profit or loss for the period, before goodwill amortisation
and exceptional impairment which are not deductible for tax purposes.


5. Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of #5,988,000 (30 September 2005: #13,780,000, 31 March 2006:
#11,846,000) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during
the period of 141,111,944 (30 September 2005: 138,569,582, 31 March 2006:
141,111,944).

The adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated to
provide a better understanding of the underlying performance of the Group as
follows:

The loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number
of ordinary shares for the purpose of calculating the diluted earnings per
ordinary share are identical to those used for basic earnings per ordinary
share.  This is because the exercise of share options would have the effect of
reducing the loss per ordinary share and is therefore not dilutive under the
terms of FRS 22 'Earnings per share'.
