Access Plus has experienced flat trading conditions since April 2001.
Nevertheless, with this new second quarter business, the Company has experienced
higher levels of turnover, for the last three months compared to the same period
last year, and this looks set to continue, bringing with it the opportunity for
Access Plus to resume its enviable record of steady growth.

As this resumption of stronger performance has come later in the first half, the
Directors expect to see a modest bias away from the first half figures and
towards the second half results (a reversal of the situation in 2001).

Looking further out, the recent contract wins are expected to make a full year's
contribution in 2003 against only a partial contribution in 2002; so the
Directors are confident that this current growth is set to continue into next
year.
