Mothercare and DNA Interactive, while wins by Bite Communications' US business

Lastly, the Group's largest business, Text 100, has added the technology
research and analyst firm Gartner and EDA leader, Cadence Design Systems
(NYSE:CDN) - both accounts are US-based. Combined these clients will account for
over £2m in new fee income for the Group per year.
"We have seen a significant improvement in market conditions, most notably in
the US," said Next Fifteen CEO Tim Dyson. "We are seeing a general strengthening
of the PR industry. Client spending is largely up on previous years both in
terms of retained activity and for product launches. This gives us good reason
to be optimistic about the Group's prospects in the coming year."

of, if not the largest employer of technology PR professionals in the Silicon
Valley area. Between its PR businesses, Text 100 and Bite, the Group now
represents such technology leaders as IBM (NYSE: IBM), Xerox (NYSE: XEROX), NEC,
ViewSonic, Earthlink (NASDAQ:ELNK), Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT), Juniper
