            STATEMENT ACCOMPANYING PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF FIGURES
                     FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 1999

Results 
The impact of the decision to focus on our technology based service business has
proved to be well founded. Whilst turnover overall has been reduced, during the
transition phase, we are most encouraged by the progress made at our chief
operating subsidiary NetCall Telecom Limited. The notes attached to the accounts
will enable shareholders to distinguish between the emerging business carried on
by NetCall Telecom Limited, described as internet-related telephony services,
and the historic activities that have been or are in the process of being
discontinued or sold.
        
Current Trading

NetCall Telecom Limited
Netcall plc's chief operating subsidiary, NetCall Telecom Limited ('NetCall'),
has developed and owns an infrastructure capable of delivering significant
volumes of telephone calls requested by visitors to web sites or recipients of
emails. These calls, which are usually free to the requesting party and
delivered using conventional telephony, are designed not only to connect
potential customers or those seeking advice or assistance to qualified personnel
but also to deliver valuable marketing and other information to the web site
owner. New subscribers are being added at a steadily increasing        rate and
those now using NetCall 800 include: - AutoGlass, BUPA, Bank           One,
Citroen, Dialog, Dialogic, Dixons Partmaster, Greenflag, HSA              
Healthcare, Nissan, Personal Number Co., RAC, Tiny Computers, Thomas           
Cook, Uunet, & Vauxhall.

This sector of NetCall's business is now mainly handled by channel partners
allowing our in-house team to concentrate on building relationships with system
builders and integrators who are more likely to utilise the advanced
applications in Netcall's portfolio of services as well as NetCall 8OO. 
Relationships are ongoing with companies with a significant presence in their
particular market places including US Web/CKS, Candle UX, Desc NV and The
Personal Number Company Plc. In addition an agreement has recently been signed
with Telewest Imminus Limited, a subsidiary of Telewest Communications plc, and
the two companies will be working together to produce a portfolio of enhanced
e.commerce solutions - joint marketing has already commenced.
        
Product and Service Developments
A most important development took place towards the end of the                 
financial year when NetCall's infrastructure was made accessible from          
'off the page' as well as the Internet. NetCall has developed several          
applications, three of which were highlighted in the Trading Update            
sent to shareholders on 19th August 1999. Although these applications are
different in content and complexity they share certain key characteristics: -

*  they all run on NetCall's existing infrastructure, which uses the Internet   
  for signalling and passing information between remote databases.
*  they all use conventional telephony and in 2 cases can be accessed by        
  dialling a (free) phone number or clicking on a NetCall link/button on the    
 World Wide web.
*  they are all replicable by NetCall for system/web integrators or service     
  providers in multiple territories.

These applications have now been packaged and branded as separate services to
address particular market opportunities. Examples of these include: -

*  Netcall Classified - handling responses to classified advertisements in      
  newspapers together with AdCall 800, a related service, which monitors        
 responses to advertisements carried in various media formats. 
*  Asset Manager - monitors and controls the distribution and servicing         
  of valuable equipment such as laptop computers on a world wide                
 basis. 
*  NetCall Alerts - utilising 'push telephony' and used for example at          
  the core of e-callT, a service created and run for PNC Tele.com. Using Text   
 to Speech technology it allows their mobile telephone customers to be          
alerted when an email has been received and to be given the option of          
listening to a message wherever they are or having it sent to a convenient     
fax machine.

Whilst these services have only been running for a relatively short time it is
becoming clear that they have the potential to make a positive impact on
Netcall's future earnings.

Netcall Classified 
This application warrants particular mention because as further newspapers are
added to the service they are demonstrating similar characteristics. Several
system integrators are now promoting NetCall Classified to regional and national
newspapers and it is possible, within 12 months, that up to 200 newspapers of
varying size and format could be utilising our services to monitor and deliver
responses to classified advertisements displayed in their columns and on their
web pages. These advertisements are likely to cover
employment, automotive, property and personal/dating and NetCall estimates that
in the UK alone the potential market for this type of service could be as high
as £60 million. Given the strength of NetCall's infrastructure. its experience
in delivering telephony together with on line, real time information and billing
systems, it should be possible to obtain a reasonable share of this market.

This unique service has enabled newspapers to charge advertisers by response
('pay per lead') and could have an even greater significance when applied to
selling advertising space on the Web. There currently appears to be a great
reluctance on the part of advertisers to pay for space in an environment where
there is so much competition for attention. NetCall Classified offers a facility
for advertisers to be charged on a results only basis and also delivers an
independent audit trail of each call with appropriate billing information.

Following very favourable initial response it is considered that these and
certain other applications are worthy of serious promotion both in Europe and
the USA and marketing spend will be increased accordingly to maximise return
from the competitive lead NetCall has established.

Placing of New Shares 
The company's stockbroker, Bell Lawrie Wise Speke, has completed the placing of
4,022,217 new shares at a price of 67p each raising  £2,694,885 gross before
expenses for the company. This placing is subject to shareholder approval at an
EGM, scheduled for 24 November 1999. These funds will be used to repay
short-term borrowings and to finance, particularly, the expansion of our
marketing and sales efforts especially in Europe and the USA. A circular has
today been
posted to shareholders with full details of the issue.

Appointment of Nominated Broker 
Bell Lawrie Wise Speke the company's Nominated Advisor, has been appointed
Nominated Broker with immediate effect.

Prospects 
NetCall are world leaders in internet controlled telephony and offers a range of
innovative telephony based services possessing depth and relevance to commerce
conducted both on and off the Internet. It has developed and continues to expand
a powerful and scalable infrastructure, forged relationships with Tier One
Telco's and possesses considerable expertise in delivering billing systems and
other applications. The markets for our services are large and
increasing in size daily - we offer solutions to several of the problems that
have been affecting the business models of many companies, especially those
attempting to generate, monitor and collect advertising revenue from their web
sites.

With additional funds now available to enable an acceleration of the marketing
effort, especially in the USA, there is every reason why a sustainable stream of
revenue can be developed from the valuable services NetCall are able to deliver.
Prospects for the company are exciting.
