                  Eckoh Response to Latest Press Comment Today


Eckoh is aware that its integrity and professional reputation has been brought
into question by a series of articles in the press in the past three weeks based
on information provided by a 'source'.


The information that has been provided has been largely misleading, inaccurate,
and more recently completely fabricated. The Company's primary concern has 
always been that the public are not deceived and it believes that it has a duty 
to defend its reputation and those of its customers.


As a result, the Company is taking legal advice against those supplying this
information and is reporting the matter to the police today.


Nik Philpot, CEO of Eckoh said: 'We believe that the emails quoted in today's
Sun newspaper have been maliciously fabricated by a source to cause maximum 
impact and damage. We have carried out all the necessary checks and are positive 
that these emails never existed.

Eckoh and its staff have been put under intense scrutiny in recent weeks and 
this simply cannot continue. We are taking legal advice against those supplying 
false information and we will today be reporting the matter to the police.

We regret having to take the latest step but we can see no other option to try 
and bring this unfortunate episode to a conclusion. We will not further risk our
reputation which we have built up over many years of good practice, or bring the
reputation of our customers into disrepute.'
