Alphameric Plc (“Alphameric” or “the Group”) Interim Results for the six months ended 31 May 2005

Dividend

Interim Dividend

The Directors intend that the balance of the interim and full year dividend
payments should reflect the more even trading of the Group's business across the
financial year. In line with this policy the interim dividend, payable on 11th
August 2005 to holders of record on 15th July 2005, will be increased to 1.0
pence per share (2004: 0.65 pence per share)

Special Dividend

Shareholders will be aware that due to a lack of distributable reserves at 30
November 2004 we were unable to recommend the payment of a final dividend for
the year then ended. On 9th May 2005 we gained Court approval for a Capital
Reconstruction that extinguished this deficit on reserves. As a consequence of
the Capital Reconstruction we will be in a position, once sufficient
distributable reserves have been generated and audited accounts filed
accordingly, to pay a second interim dividend for the year to 30 November 2005.
It is our intention to pay this dividend to our shareholders as soon as it is
practicable so to do.
