                           ("Citel" or the "Company")

                                 Trading Update


Citel, which designs, develops and markets a range of Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) solutions for the business telephony market, today reports on
trading for the financial year ending 31 March 2008.

For the 12 months to 31 March 2008, revenues are expected to be US$4.68 million,
an increase of 5% from the US$4.48 million reported in the prior year.

Citel's business model is based on signing supply agreements with
telecommunication carriers and internet service providers, enabling them to
offer Citel's Portico Telephone VoIP Adapter ("Portico TVA") as part of their
VoIP solutions. In addition, Citel sells direct to large/medium size
enterprises.

During the financial year, Citel secured supply agreements with multiple Tier 2/
3 carriers. These contract wins have served to underline the potential of
Citel's Portico TVA product within the smaller carrier space. The pipeline of
opportunities with these carriers continues to grow.

Citel continues to target sales directly to large/medium sized enterprises and
has achieved traction in this area. Direct customer relationships with these
enterprise clients enables Citel to drive more immediate revenue, and
importantly, demonstrate to the carriers the practical and commercial benefits
of the Portico TVA product operating within large enterprises.

At 31 March 2008 Citel had a net cash balance of US$162,000 and an additional
borrowing ability of approximately $160,000 (the facility is based on a
percentage of receivables so will vary over time). As a result of expense
reductions previously announced, the Company's expected monthly cash burn rate
for the next three months has been reduced to average approximately $75,000 per
month. Whilst progress has been made in reducing the burn rate the Directors
note that additional funding will be required in order to reach cash flow break
even. The Directors continue to consider options with a view to maximising
shareholder value and will make further announcements as appropriate.
