       KTS launches Best Execution Verification tool for MiFID compliance


Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC (AIM: KTS), provider of professional market
information services in the finance sector, has launched a new MIFID compliance
tool on MarketTerminal, its real-time market data display product.


The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) is an EU directive aimed
at creating transparency throughout the European Union for market participants
dealing in securities. One of the requirements of MiFID is that of Best
Execution being offered by brokers to retail customers.


Aimed at compliance officers at stock brokers, KTS's simple-to-use Best
Execution Verification Tool automatically analyses many thousands of client
trades in specified equities, flagging any sales or purchases that fall outside
of normal price parameters. i.e. trades significantly above the market's volume
weighted average price (VWAP).


The Best Execution Verification Tool is provided as an optional upgrade on a
standard MarketTerminal subscription. It is both simple to configure and
operate, and can analyse more than 10,000 trades at a time. The tool is among a
number of new solutions that are being added to MarketTerminal to assist
financial firms address MiFID which comes into effect on 1 November 2007.


Dr Marc Pinter-Krainer, Chief Executive of KTS PLC, said:


'Stock brokers have an increasing requirement to monitor their trading
performance internally, particularly with the best execution compliance aspect
of MiFID fast approaching. Our new best execution verification tool has been
created to take the headache out of best execution compliance monitoring.'
