               Accsys Signs Full License Agreement in Middle East


Accsys Technologies PLC ('Accsys' or 'the Company') announces that its 100%
owned subsidiary, Titan Wood Ltd. ('Titan Wood'), has signed a full license
agreement with Al Rajhi Holdings W.L.L. ('Al Rajhi'), in respect of the
exclusive rights to manufacture Accoya(R) wood in all six GCC1 (Gulf Cooperation
Council) countries for an annual nameplate Accoya(R) wood production capacity of
150,000 cubic metres.


The terms of the agreement, which follow Titan Wood's standard payment terms,
provide for technology fees and annual royalties. Having already paid an option
fee of €150,000, Al Rajhi will make an immediate down payment of €2,850,000.
Additional fees will be paid subject to the timing and phasing of the
construction period, with royalty payments commencing upon commercial
production, expected to start in 2010.


Al Rajhi has exclusive rights for the region for a period of four years with
rights to increase the length of exclusivity subject to committing to increased
Accoya(R) wood production licenses.


Willy Paterson-Brown, Executive Chairman of Accsys commented, 'We are
understandably delighted to reach agreement with Al Rajhi for exclusive Accoya
(R) wood production rights throughout the Gulf countries. We will now jointly
focus on developing the market both within and beyond the region to explore the
additional potential of Accoya(R) wood'.

'We are extremely excited by the potential of this transaction. We are already
looking at increased volumes and additional territories as we realise the value
of the exclusive nature of our agreement with Titan Wood. Our region is ripe for
this outstanding new product, Accoya(R) wood, which for the first time will be
able to access a high quality, environmentally friendly modified wood to
penetrate a very lucrative market'.

Accoya(R) wood (www.accoya.info) is produced using a patented process that
effectively converts sustainably grown softwoods and non-durable hardwoods into
what is best described as a 'new wood species' via acetylation. Distinguished by
its durability, dimensional stability and, perhaps most importantly of all, its
reliability (in terms of consistency of both supply and quality), Accoya(R) wood
is particularly suited to exterior applications where performance and appearance
are valued. Unlike most tropical and European hardwoods, its colour does not
degrade when exposed to ultraviolet light. Moreover, the Accoya(R) wood
production process does not compromise the wood's strength or machinability. The
combination of UV resistance, dimensional stability, durability and retained
strength means that Accoya(R) wood offers a wealth of new opportunities to
architects, designers and specifiers. For marine uses where weight is also
important, Accoya(R) wood for the first time provides boat builders with a wood
that is strong, lightweight, durable and which retains its natural beauty for
far longer.


Wood Acetylation is a process, which increases the amount of 'acetyl' molecules
in wood, thereby changing its physical properties. The process protects wood
from rot by making it 'inedible' to most micro-organisms and insects, without -
unlike conventional treatments - making it toxic. It also greatly reduces the
wood's tendency to swell and shrink, making it less prone to cracking and
ensuring that when painted it requires dramatically reduced maintenance.
