•  Trading Update

Dowlis Corporate Solutions plc, the marketing, information and logistics
solutions business is pleased to make the following trading update prior to the
announcement of its annual results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2006,
which is expected to take place on 29th March 2007.

The board remains confident that decisive short-term actions executed during
2006 and adherence to our focused strategy has ensured that the business
performs in line with market expectations, and is in a position to take
advantage of the future benefits of the lower cost base now in place.

The business is split into three distinct divisions: Promotional Merchandise,
Information Services and Industry Software. The directors are encouraged by
increasing numbers of PromoServe subscriptions and look forward to further
growth of the Trade Only Information Services business throughout 2007.
