in turnover on continuing operations. In December 2000, Netcall announced a
strategic investment, with Trinity Mirror plc, in All4U Limited, a business
which uses Netcall technologies to revolutionise the classified advertising
market, both off the page and off the web. In November 2000, the Company
announced a successful equity placing raising £4.7 million. The Company
intends to continue to invest in customer response management technology and
to seek to increase revenues from licensing software and delivering
intelligent telephony services.
