For Immediate Release                                            3 October 2005


                             ECKOH TECHNOLOGIES PLC

                            Pre-Close Trading Update
                   for the six months ended 30 September 2005

Eckoh Technologies plc, (the "Company") is pleased to issue a trading update
prior to the end of the six month period ended 30 September 2005.

During the period, the Company instigated a strategic review of its operations.
To date, this has resulted in the separate listing of Symphony Telecom Holdings
plc, a previously wholly owned subsidiary, raising £4.51m before expenses whilst
retaining a 64.64% holding and the disposal of Freecom.net Limited to
eDirectory.co.uk plc for up to £3.2m of shares in the acquiring company.

Profits in the first half have been satisfactory and are in line with the
Directors expectations. The Directors are aware of the recent decline in the
share price and believe that the current share price significantly undervalues
the Company. Recent commercial successes including the renewal of the BT and TD
Waterhouse contracts, the speech enabled "Journey Finder" product being awarded
"Product of the Year" at the 2005 European Call Centre Awards, and ongoing
discussions with a number of potential new clients enable the Directors to
continue to be confident in the Company's future prospects. The strategic review
will continue with the aim of reversing the trend in the share price, and
unlocking value for shareholders.
