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

Introduction

I am pleased to report that the six months ended 31 May 2005 saw a very strong
trading performance with substantial revenue and profit growth across the
Group's continuing activities.

Amongst our key strategic objectives for the Group there remains the intention
to continue to improve the forward visibility of our business by developing
longer term repetitive revenues and achieving a better balance of revenues and
profits between the first half and the traditionally stronger second half of the
year. These results demonstrate the success of this strategy thus far and we
enter the second half with a significant order book and excellent prospect list.

During the period we also acquired three businesses in our core areas of
activity. I am pleased to confirm that all are integrating well and adding value
to the Group.

The markets that we serve continue to experience significant levels of
consolidation as the major participants look to capitalise upon their leading
positions, often through the acquisition of smaller operators in the same
sector. This can in some cases disrupt the decision making process of our
customers but, in others, it has provided additional sales opportunities where
the acquirer implements upgrades and installations to take advantage of their
superior equipment platforms in acquired operations.
