For immediate release



                          i-documentsystems group plc

                                 Trading Update


Following its preliminary results, announced in December 2001, i-documentsystems
group plc has made steady progress towards achieving its stated target of 40
local authority clients by the end of April 2002 and 50 by the end of October
2002.

Since the year-end i-documentsystems has obtained commitments from five new
local authorities worth over £300,000 in the first year. The contracts reconfirm
i-documentsystems' position as a leading provider of e-government solutions.

The Group has also reached a 3-year distribution agreement with Serco for
i-documentsystems Image-Gen suite of e-government products and services. The
basis of the agreement will allow Serco to integrate the Image-Gen environment
with vertical application solutions and enterprise information architectures
within the Government Marketplace using XML for the integration of data. This
agreement marks the recognition that i-documentsystems software is highly
adaptable for the Government Marketplace as a whole and is scaleable to meet the
demands of both a corporate and enterprise solution.

In addition, expressions of interest from the commercial sector have resulted in
the installation of a pilot system in the human resources department of the
Co-operative Wholesale Society, with the possibility of further rollout.

Revenues and cash reserves for the six months to 30 April 2002 are expected to
be in line with expectations of greater than 100% revenue growth on the same
period in 2001. The Group's pipeline continues to grow month on month as brand
awareness increases and fresh opportunities emerge. The Group is encouraged by
current progress and believes it is on track for its stated aim of reaching
profitability by the end of 2003.
