For immediate release                                   27 August 2002




                                ANITE GROUP PLC



                   Anite varies Rox Mariehamn ('Rox') earnout





Anite Group plc ('Anite' or the 'Group'), the European IT Consultancy & Services
company, indicated, at the time of its announcements on 12 July 2002 regarding
the crystallisation and variation of certain earnout payments to the sellers of
businesses acquired since 30 April 2000, that it intended to continue to review
all of the Group's remaining earnout liabilities and would update shareholders
in relation to progress made as appropriate.



Accordingly, Anite is pleased to announce today that it has entered into a
variation agreement with the sellers (the 'Sellers') of Rox, a Finnish IT
services and consultancy company acquired in June 2001.



As a result of such agreement, the maximum, and final, earnout of £100,000
payable on the achievement by Rox of an agreed profit target in respect of the
period ending 30 April 2002 which was due to be satisfied by the issue and
allotment by Anite to the Sellers of Anite Shares shall now be payable in cash.



The Company will provide a further update and analysis of its earnouts and a
current trading update at the time of its Annual General Meeting on 4 September
2002.



John Hawkins, Chief Executive of Anite, stated:



'We have now addressed the earnout obligations for Calculus, Carus, Didgicom,
Parsec and Rox, representing a significant proportion of the Group's total
potential earnout liabilities, thus bringing considerable certainty for our
shareholders compared to the position prior to 12 July 2002.



'We continue to review the few remaining earnout liabilities and will continue
to update shareholders as appropriate.'
