Chairman's Statement

In the year ended 31 March 2005 InTechnology has made clear and sustained
progress across all parts of the group.  Most significantly we reduced operating
losses (before amortisation of goodwill) within our Managed Services division to
#2.0m (2004: #7.8m) achieving the breakthrough into monthly operating profit
(before  amortisation of goodwill) during the second half of the financial year.
Managed Services division operating losses were reduced to #4.3m (2004:
#10.0m).  Revenues in the Specialist Distribution division increased by 26% to
#261.4m (2004 restated: #207.4m).

Through investment in recent years, InTechnology has developed a range of
managed services which allow organisations to free up valuable management time
by outsourcing specific areas of IT infrastructure. This division now has a
portfolio of 10 services, from data backup and IP telephony to hosting and other
network services, and is a fundamental part of our long-term competitive
strategy.

Despite difficult trading conditions in the IT market, our distribution business
has enjoyed revenue growth in each of its geographic territories. Distribution
agreements with new vendors and extensions to existing contracts have
contributed to this growth, with particularly excellent results coming from
sales of security solutions in the UK and Continental Europe.

In the final quarter of the year we began the distribution of network products,
thus providing a natural link between storage and security and completing our IT
infrastructure offering.

InTechnology's corporate objectives remain consistent and clear - to offer a
complete range of products, solutions and services to meet the IT challenges
organisations face in today's network-based computing environment. We also
remain committed to selling through the IT channel of resellers, consultants and
systems integrators.

Our strategy is serving us well and has put the business in a strong position to
meet the challenges of the IT market in the year ahead.

Finally, the energy, technical ability and enthusiasm of our people never fails
to impress me and I would like to thank all our staff, as well as our vendor and
reseller partners, for their contributions to InTechnology in the last year.

Chief Executive's Review

Overview

We are very pleased with the progress made by the Group this year, characterised
in particular by significant revenue growth across our Specialist Distribution
business and, latterly, by reaching monthly operating profit (before
amortisation of goodwill) in our Managed Services division.

In a challenging trading environment, we have seen our operating profit (before
amortisation of goodwill) increase to #4.4m (2004 restated: #1.4m).  Group
operating loss was reduced to #0.3m (2004 restated: #3.0m).  We have aggressive
plans for future revenue growth and increased profitability and we have already
restructured our sales team, brought on board new vendors and, with the
intellectual property in the business, developed our own service technologies to
support this objective. We are confident that our strategy remains sound and
that we are on track to meet our expectations of sustainable profitability.

Managed Services

Our managed services portfolio allows organisations to outsource specific areas
of IT infrastructure to free up valuable staff resource, improve service levels,
reduce operational cost and deliver the flexibility to scale the service
according to business requirements.

The Managed Services division has required significant investment in the five
years since commencement, culminating this year in an increase in sales revenue
of 52% to #22.1m (2004: #14.5m). In addition, the division has moved into
monthly operating profit (before amortisation of goodwill) in the second half of
the year. This positive contribution is a key factor in the significant
reduction in Group operating loss this year.

During the year we have seen many new long-term contracts from blue-chip and
public sector organisations including Jarvis Rail plc, Balfour Beatty, T-Mobile,
Wanadoo and London Business School. This new business, together with our
existing customer base, means we have grown our annualised recurring revenue
stream to #23.2m (2004: #18.0m).

We are also delighted that 60% (2004: 58%) of our customers take 2 or more of
our range of ten managed services (2004: six). We expect to build on this trend
with new services launched during the last year and further services to be
launched in the new fiscal year. These include:

*           IP Voice Connect(TM): an IP telephony service for business
*           A new version of our successful VBAK(R) data backup and recovery
            service aimed at the SME market
*           Information Lifecycle Management ("ILM") pay-as-you-go service

Another major development is an exciting partnership with IBM Business
Continuity & Recovery Services, which will see our VBAK(R) service sold to IBM
customers through their UK sales network. We are already an IBM Premier Business
Partner for hardware and software distribution and I expect this extension of
our long-standing relationship to make a major contribution to sales revenue
next year.

Specialist Distribution

Despite a difficult trading environment throughout the IT market, in particular
pressure on margins from vendors and customers, our Specialist Distribution
division has increased sales by:

*           16% in the UK
*           73% in Continental Europe

Gross margins have, however, been squeezed as pressures from vendors and
customers have intensified.

We have seen much success this year in the Distribution market, including:

*           A strong performance in sales of Network Appliance solutions in the
            year - we expect to see the growth continue
*           Becoming Europe's leading distributor of CheckPoint
*           Extending our storage agreement with Sun Microsystems to Channel
            Development Partner for the entire product range including storage,
            enterprise servers and mobile computing
*           Becoming recognised as one of the leading distributors for Nokia
            secure mobile connectivity solutions in Europe, the Middle East and 
            Africa ('EMEA')

Following our acquisition of the specialist security distributor Allasso on 31
July 2003, we have now completed the integration of all its operations across
Continental Europe, maximising the efficiency of the business with centralised
logistics, consistent processes and a single management information system.
These internal changes are combined with a focus on developing customer
relationships on a pan-European basis with large resellers.

We are particularly pleased that our security expertise was recognised by
Microsoft in Q4 when they chose InTechnology to help them move into the European
IT security market. In a new partnership agreement with Microsoft and Network
Engines, we will be distributing Microsoft ISA server software on the Network
Engines platform in a 12-month exclusive agreement throughout the UK and
Continental Europe.

Also, with corporate networks struggling to cope with exponential increases in
network traffic, we began distribution of network solutions in H1 to exploit
this expanding market. Our experience in running our own national ethernet
network in the UK ('LANnet') means we can leverage our existing skills to
deliver data networking, WAN/LAN, VPN, ethernet switching and wireless networks.
To date, we have signed distribution agreements to sell Nortel and Juniper
network products across the UK and Continental Europe.

Finally, in June 2004, we acquired the trade and assets of NetConnect Training
from NetConnect Limited for cash consideration of #900,000 and contingent
consideration to a maximum of #100,000. The business is fully integrated into
the Group and operates under the InTechnology name. As a result, we are the UK's
leading provider of authorised storage, security and internet training, and the
world's largest CheckPoint, Nokia and Clearswift authorised training providers.

Trading and operating performance

We achieved encouraging revenue growth across all divisions, with Group turnover
increasing to #283.5m this year (2004 restated: #221.9m)

*           #198.2m (2004 restated: #170.8m) for the UK specialist distribution
            division
*           #63.2m (2004: #36.6m) for the Continental Europe specialist
            distribution  division
*           #22.1m (2004: #14.5m) for Managed Services division

However, against a background of gross margin erosion across the industry, our
UK storage margins fell by 0.9% and security solutions margins by 2.4%
year-on-year.  In the European market, we experienced a 2.5% drop in margins but
nonetheless won increased market share.

The Group had a net cash outflow from operating activities of #2.0m (2004: #3.5m
inflow).  This was largely as a result of an increase in working capital
requirements as we grew turnover in our European subsidiaries and funded
unusually high stock levels with a major storage vendor.

Cash at bank and in hand at the year-end was #10.4m (2003: #16.4m).  However,
funding of working capital to support European growth together with continuing
capital expenditure in our Managed Services division contributed to an increase
in net debt to #22.2m (2004: #10.4m).

Meeting customer expectations

In the first half of the year, we carried out a full review of our customers'
requirements and have now implemented changes to our organisational structure in
order to meet these needs and maximise our sales opportunities.

Customer sales focus on the following:

*           Developing the resellers' market opportunities from the full
            InTechnology range of products, solutions and services.
*           Maximising margins by reducing the cost of sale
*           Accelerating the speed at which the sale is closed by the reseller

In support of customer sales, we have Vendor teams to maintain our speciality
and expertise around our core competencies in Storage, Data Management, Security
and Networks.

A sea change in the marketplace

We are experiencing a sea change in the IT sales channel in relation to the
market for services; traditional reseller business models which relied solely on
sales of hardware to established end user customers, are no longer sustainable.
End users increasingly want to outsource parts of their IT infrastructure to
save cost and enable them to focus on their own core IT objectives. As a result,
we are experiencing strong interest from major channel reseller partners in our
managed services portfolio and see this as further confirmation that our
strategy is sound.

Outlook

We are optimistic about prospects for our business in the year ahead. We are
confident that sales volumes can increase to counter the pressures on gross
margin within our Specialist Distribution division.

The strong performance of these established businesses, together with increased
recurring revenue streams and exciting initiatives in our Managed Services
division, give me confidence in our prospects for future growth and
profitability.

before goodwill amortisation and #267,000 of operating profit after goodwill
amortisation to the Specialist Distribution division in the period following

have not been disclosed since they were not significant.

#1,050,000) which is not analysed by business segment.

3 Prior year adjustment

During the year, the Group has completed a comprehensive review of its
accounting policy for revenue recognition in light of the guidance provided by
Application Note G, an amendment to FRS 5.  The review identified instances
where sales of equipment have been recognised before the Group has fulfilled all
of its contractual obligations to the customer.  As a result, the Group has
amended its procedures such that it now only recognises revenue on the sale of
equipment when the goods are received by the customer and when there are no
unfulfilled obligations that affect the customer's final acceptance of the
equipment. Previously, revenue was recognised on shipment of equipment to the
customer.

The cumulative effect of the changes relating to previous years has been
recognised in the results as a prior year adjustment and comparative figures
have been restated in accordance with the revised accounting policy. The effects
of the changes on turnover, cost of sales, gross margin and the tax charge for
the year ended 31 March 2004 are summarised as follows:

                                      Turnover   Cost of sales    Gross margin                Tax

Year ended 31 March 2004
As previously stated                   223,509       (182,706)          40,803              (889)
Restated                               221,868       (181,331)          40,537              (809)

The net effect of the change in policy in the year ended 31 March 2004 is to
reduce turnover by #1,641,000, reduce gross margin by #266,000, reduce the tax
charged on loss on ordinary activities by #80,000 and increase the loss
sustained for the financial year by #186,000.

The net effect of the change in policy in the year ended 31 March 2005 is to
increase turnover by #3,823,000, increase gross margin by #535,000, increase the
tax  charged on loss on ordinary activities by #160,700 and reduce the loss
sustained for the financial year by #374,300.

The cumulative effect of implementing the revised policy is to reduce Group
reserves at 31 March 2004 by #753,000, summarised as follows:

The tax charge is higher (2004: higher) than the standard rate of corporation
tax in the UK.  The differences are explained as follows:

At 31 March 2005, the Company had accumulated tax losses of #2,973,000 (2004:
#2,973,000) which are available for offset against future trading profits of
certain Group operations, subject to agreement with the relevant tax
authorities.

5 Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of #2,575,000 (2004 restated: #4,889,000) by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the year of 139,575,879 (2004:
138,245,916).

The adjusted basic loss per share has been calculated to provide a better
understanding of the underlying performance of the Group as follows:

share


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 14 "Earnings per share".
