                                InTechnology plc
           Interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2007



InTechnology plc ("InTechnology" or "the Company"), the voice and data Managed
Services provider, announces its results for the six months ended 30 September
2007.  Under these results the Company has adopted IFRS accounting:



Financial highlights:



*   Turnover increased by 69% to #23.2m (2006: #13.7m excluding
    discontinued operations)
*   Organic growth, excluding the contribution from the Evoxus
    acquisition, was 22%
*   Group operating profit before property sale was #1.0m (2006: #0.8m
    excluding discontinued operations) and total operating profit was #2.2m 
    (2006: #0.8m excluding discontinued operations)
*   Net cash of #15.5m (2006: #10.1m net debt)



Operational highlights: Transformational year



*   Evoxus operations successfully integrated into Managed Voice Services
*   Sale of Harrogate freehold land and buildings for #4.6m in August 2007
*   Further investment of #2.4m into Mobile Tornado in October 2007 taking our 
    holding in the company to 49.9%
*   Agreement with Mobile Tornado to jointly develop a managed service around 
    its core technology



Proposed delisting



*   Current lack of liquidity in InTechnology shares
*   Highly unlikely that Company will need to issue shares to finance 
    acquisitions
*   The Board believes that greater shareholder value can therefore be derived 
    by operating off market





Commenting on the results, Peter Wilkinson, Chief Executive of InTechnology plc,
stated:



"As our results demonstrate, we have made good progress in the first six months
of the year as a Managed Services specialist in data and voice.  We have
successfully completed the integration of Evoxus and we believe our increased
strategic investment in Mobile Tornado will enhance our prospects in the medium
term.  This gives the Board confidence that we will continue to grow a strong
profitable company.



"As outlined in my statement, the Board believes it is in the best interests of
the company and the shareholders to de-list from AIM and we will be convening an
Extraordinary General Meeting to vote on this matter in due course. The lack of
liquidity in our shares and the fact that future share issues are unlikely have
led us to conclude that greater shareholder value will be derived by operating
off market."

Chief Executive Officer's Statement



Overview

In my annual report to you on 29 June 2007 I said that the recently enlarged
Managed Services business had commenced in line with our expectations and that
your Board remained confident of the outcome for this year.  I am pleased to now
report that this confidence remains.  In addition, as announced in our trading
update in August, our net cash has increased following the sale of the land and
buildings in Harrogate.



However the share price of our company, in which I have maintained a constant
majority shareholding since July 2000, has continued to underperform on the
stockmarket during 2007.  Your Board has reviewed the options available to it,
and has sought professional opinion from its advisers, and has concluded that
there is no longer any advantage to the company in maintaining a listing on AIM.
Accordingly, we are proposing to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting
later this year to put to shareholders a special resolution to de-list the
company.  In order that shareholders who are unable or unwilling to hold shares
in an unlisted company have the opportunity to sell their shares while the
company remains on AIM, it is proposed that, subject to obtaining the Court's
consent, the company's brokers, Panmure Gordon, will make a Tender offer to buy
shares on behalf of the company up to a maximum of #8.5 million.  A circular
detailing these proposals will be mailed to shareholders in due course.



Trading and operating performance during the first half year



*   Group turnover was #23.2M (2006: #13.7M excluding discontinued operations) 
    an increase of 69%.  Turnover, excluding the contribution from EEscape 
    Holdings Limited (trading as "Evoxus") which was acquired in January 2007, 
    was #16.7M, an organic growth of 22%.

*   Group operating profit before its sale of property was #1.0M (2006: #0.8M 
    excluding discontinued operations) an increase of 25%.  Total operating 
    profit was #2.2M (2006: #0.8M excluding discontinued operations) which 
    includes the profit on sale of freehold property of #1.2M.  As the Group 
    owns no other freehold property this is a non-recurring item.

*   Net finance income was #0.3M (2006: #0.8M payable), reflecting the net cash 
    position following the sale of all distribution businesses.

*   The Group share of post tax loss in its associate, Mobile Tornado Group plc 
    acquired in October 2006, was #0.9M (2006: # nil).

*   Profit before tax for the period was #1.5M (2006: # nil from continuing 
    operations and #4.9M loss from discontinued operations).

*   The Group ended the period with gross cash of #16.4M (30 September 2006: 
    #8.8M, 31 March 2007: #12.8M) and net funds of #15.5M (30 September 2006:
    #(10.1)M net debt, 31 March 2007: #10.3M net funds).



Adoption of IFRS accounting standards

In preparing this interim statement we have adopted IFRS accounting and a
reconciliation from UK GAAP to IFRS is included on the Group's website,
www.intechnology.co.uk/investor relations.



Apart from the reporting format the main changes to this interim unaudited
statement relate to deferred taxation and the valuation of intangible assets and
goodwill (IFRS3 "Business Combinations").



Managed Data Services division ("MDS")

MDS revenues were #16.7M (2006: #13.7M), an increase of 22%.  Contract churn,
being contracts not renewed at the end of term or early termination, is running
at around eight per cent which is as budgeted.  Gross profit margins were 70%
(2006: 73%), the small reduction caused by the cost of migrating many customers
to a new software platform which is more efficient and robust than the one it
replaces.



New customer contracts won have been slightly ahead of our expectations, and the
upsell of new business to existing customers is well above our own expectations
whilst keeping churn down to reasonable levels.  The increased customer focus
that I reported on in last year's Annual Report continues to pay excellent
dividends.



Managed Voice Services division ("MVS")

The revenues from MVS include the recent acquisition during January 2007 of
Evoxus for #3m in cash.  On 1 June 2007 we integrated all assets and liabilities
of Evoxus into the MVS division of InTechnology, which has been successfully
completed.



MVS revenues were #6.5M (2006: # nil) and gross profit margins were 31%.
However contract churn has been higher than anticipated at the time of
acquisition and is presently estimated to reach 40% this financial year.  On
acquisition we had estimated that certain large customer contracts would not be
renewed in 2008, but this has occurred earlier than expected.  The reasons are
not caused by quality of service but major customers rationalising operations
after corporate merger and acquisition activities.  I do stress that this is
churn on contracts, not customer churn.  We have already secured good new
business from a number of new customers, but there will be a gap of several
months between the revenue from contracts ending and new business starting to
produce additional recognised revenue.  As at 30 September 2007 the value of new
contracts won was equivalent to the losses attributable to contract churn.



Cash

Gross cash on 30 September 2007 was #16.4M following the sale of the Harrogate
freehold land and buildings tenanted by the purchaser of our former UK
Distribution business for #4.6M.  We also agreed all the completion accounts
with the purchasers of the Distribution businesses and all monies owed have been
received.



When the Evoxus acquisition was completed on 1 June 2007 its bank loans of #1.2M
were repaid.



Medium term banking facilities have been agreed to finance capital expenditure,
including #4.1M for the refit and expansion of those data centres which are
nearing capacity.  Work at the Harrogate data centre has just commenced and will
improve operational efficiency as well as increasing capacity.



Mobile Tornado Group plc "Mobile Tornado"

We invested #4M cash in October 2006 for a 46% holding in Mobile Tornado.  I
described in my June 2007 Annual Report that your Board feels that the
intellectual property that Mobile Tornado has developed puts it in an exciting
part of the global market for mobile telephony with its Push-To-Talk ("PTT") and
Push-To-Experience applications.  However Mobile Tornado still requires
additional working capital and so we are increasing our holding to 49.9%,
therefore keeping it as an associated, but not a subsidiary, company.  We are
also subscribing for #1.5M non-voting, cumulative 10% redeemable convertible
preference shares.  The total further investment is #2.4M and was confirmed by
Mobile Tornado at its EGM on 26 October 2007.



More importantly to shareholders of InTechnology, other than the possible
capital appreciation of our investment which now totals #6.4M, is that we have
an agreement with Mobile Tornado for your company to continue development of a
managed service around its core technology and to provide all the infrastructure
to service it across the whole of Europe.  We believe this can provide our MVS
division with a large profitable recurring revenue stream over the medium term,
and that it will do the same for Mobile Tornado, thereby enhancing our
investment in them.



However this is a new service which we have recently commenced trialling in the
UK market and it is not possible at present to forecast short term revenues and
margins that investment bank analysts require.  Your Board believes in the
prospects for PTT, although it is not without risk, but it is not possible to
commit to short-term forecasts for a product that is new to Europe, even though
large in North America.





Proposal to de-list from AIM

Despite strengthening the balance sheet via the disposal of the distribution
business, and the improvement in operating margins brought about by focusing
solely on being a managed data and voice services company, InTechnology's share
price has continued to fall.



Your Board has discussed this concern with its advisers, and whilst there are
several factors affecting any company's share price, a key point for
InTechnology is the lack of demand for the company's shares and, in practical
terms, a small free float, which further reduces demand.  It is extremely
unlikely that the company will need to raise money through a new share issue or
to issue more shares in connection with an acquisition and, therefore, the lack
of shares in free float will continue.  I am the majority shareholder and do not
wish to sell any shares at the current price to increase the free float.  Your
Board believes that greater shareholder value will ultimately be derived by
operating the business off market.



Based on the above, your Board, having taken advice and carefully considered its
options, will be recommending a de-listing of InTechnology's shares in a
circular which will be sent to you shortly.  In addition, the Board has decided
that the company, through its brokers, Panmure Gordon, will make a Tender Offer
to all shareholders, allowing those, subject to limits, who are unable or do not
wish to hold shares after the company has de-listed to sell their shares prior
to the company de-listing from AIM.  The Company's repurchase of shares will be
subject to a maximum outlay of #8.5 million.  The Company has received
irrevocable undertakings from its Directors in respect of 84,543,810 shares not
to participate in the tender offer, representing 60 per cent. of the issued
share capital.  The price offered will be 35 pence being a premium of 19.7 per
cent. over the closing mid-market price of an InTechnology ordinary share on 29
October 2007, the day before this announcement.  Any shares purchased in this
way will then be cancelled.  The Tender Offer will require the consent of the
Court because the company will have to reduce its share premium account in order
to create sufficient distributable reserves in order to undertake the share
buy-back.  The appropriate resolutions to undertake the Tender Offer will be put
to shareholders at the same time they are asked to approve the de-listing.



A circular will be mailed to all shareholders in due course together with a copy
of this unaudited interim financial information.



Outlook

Your company has in the past eighteen months transformed itself from a mix of
high volume distribution and higher margin managed services businesses to being
solely the latter.  Net debt is replaced by net funds, and together with
adequate banking facilities I cannot envisage a need to raise further cash by
the issue of shares, and certainly not at the current share price.



I believe we have great prospects to grow a profitable business.  Your company
continues to develop new products for both the MDS and MVS divisions and the
strategic investment in Mobile Tornado is expected to further enhance the
Group's prospects in the medium term.  I have every confidence in our future
ability to earn profits and generate cash and so enhance shareholder value.

Notes to the interim financial information
For the six months ended 30 September 2007



1. Basis of preparation



This interim financial information is the first interim financial information
following the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")
and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC")
interpretations.  As the Group has not previously published a full set of
financial statements under IFRS, the Investors Section of the corporate website
(www.intechnology.co.uk) contains reconciliations of net assets and equity from
previously reported amounts under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("
UK GAAP") for the six months ended 30 September 2006 and the year ended 31 March
2007 along with explanations of the changes and the revised accounting policies
under IFRS.  These restated financial figures will be the principal comparative
figures in the 2008 financial statements and have been released to provide a
more detailed analysis of the impact of adopting IFRS on the Group.



This interim report, which comprises the consolidated interim balance sheet as
at 30 September 2007 and the related consolidated interim statements of income,
cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the six months then ended and
related notes, is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within
the meaning of the Companies Act 1985.  In addition, this financial information
does not comply with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" which is not currently
required to be applied under the AIM rules.  The accounts for the year ended 31
March 2007, on which the auditors gave an unqualified audit opinion, were
prepared in accordance with UK GAAP and not in accordance with IFRS and IFRIC
interpretations.



2. Profit on sale of property



The Group's freehold land and buildings were sold on 1 August 2007 for a cash
consideration of #4,600,000, giving rise to a profit on historic cost of
#2,726,000.  However there was an earlier recognised gain on revaluation of
#1,595,000 and a deferred tax liability of #120,000 so the profit on disposal
taken to the income statement this year is #1,131,000.



3. Taxation



The interim tax charge is based on an estimate of the likely effective tax rate
for the full year (excluding tax on the sale of land and buildings) expressed as
a percentage of the expected result for the year and then applied to the interim
profit before tax.



4. Discontinued operations


                                                               6 months ended     6 months ended      Year ended

5. Earnings/(loss) per share



Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss)
attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the period.



For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary
shares.





Reconciliation of the earnings and weighted average number of shares used in the
calculation are set out below:
