                      AGM Statement
 
At   today's  Annual  General  Meeting  of  shareholders,
Chairman, Alec Daly made the following statement:
 
'As  I  commented at the time of the Group's  preliminary
results  in  July, the first phase of our new  management
team's  strategy of developing a high end IT  consultancy
business by growth and by acquisition has been strikingly
successful.
 
The  businesses we have acquired over the  past  eighteen
months have settled down well under Anite's ownership and
all   are  achieving  pleasing  results  in  buoyant   IT
consultancy markets.
 
It  is the Board's plan to build further its platform  in
these  service activities within the major IT markets  of
Northern  Europe.  We will continue to invest  in  higher
margin  consultancy  and services businesses  in  sectors
where  we  can help our customers create new markets  and
opportunities  by  applying  our  IT  skills   to   their
businesses.
 
I  am pleased to report that the Group is continuing  its
strong  performance and remain confident  of  a  year  of
further good growth.'
