Netcall PLC 12 July 2001 NETCALL PLC ('Netcall' or 'the Company') TRADING UPDATE The Company notes the recent decline in its share price but knows of no good reason for this. An update on trading for the financial year ended 30 June 2001 is given below. For the financial year ended 30 June 2001, sales are anticipated to be in line with market expectations, cash in the bank at the year-end was £1.8m. Significant progress has been made on QueueBusterTM, Netcall's market leading customer service product for call and contact centres. Following a successful trial, Netcall has sold a QueueBusterTM system to Thames Water Utilities. The contract value is in excess of £200,000. QueueBuster trials are currently underway with three other major telecommunications and utility companies. One.Tel, the first customer for QueueBuster, has fully paid for the systems purchased over past year, however ongoing service revenue is likely to be reduced. One.Tel plc, has been acquired by Centrica plc, and we look forward to developing a good relationship with the new owners. In April 2000, Netcall acquired a minority interest in Telepost Inc ('Telepost') from Freeserve plc ('Freeserve') when Freeserve invested £4.5 million in Netcall. Telepost is to be liquidated. The Directors expect to write off the investment in full at its carried value of £4.5 million, however this will have no cash impact on Netcall. Peter Warry, Chairman of Netcall, said 'We are delighted to have sold QueueBuster to Thames, they are a recognized leader in customer service amongst the regulated utilities. QueueBuster is a very cost effective means of enhancing customer service.' 12 July 2001 Enquiries: Netcall plc Tel: 01480 495 300 (www.netcall.com) David Rothschild, CEO E-mail: david.rothschild@netcall.com Caroline Brown, CFO E-mail: caroline.brown@netcall.com College Hill Tel: 020 7457 2020 Nicola Weiner E-mail: nicola.weiner@collegehill.com Notes for Editors Netcall sells products and services to call and contact centers and enables businesses to use the telephone efficiently.
