Accuma Group PLC26 January 2007 Accuma Group Plc ("Accuma" or "the Company" or "the Group")) Trading Update The Group is experiencing slower than expected growth in its IVA business and,as a result, market expectations for the current financial year to 31 July 2007may not be met. A poorly executed marketing strategy in the first half of the financial year,together with a more competitive environment, have resulted in business volumesbeing lower than previously anticipated. The Group has taken action to addressthis. In addition, whilst the majority of creditors remain supportive of the IVAprocess, the Group has experienced increased resistance amongst a small minorityof creditors which is impacting IVA approval rates. Trading in the companies acquired last year is in line with management'sexpectations. The Group is carrying out a review of trading and intends to make a tradingupdate to the market by no later than Friday 2 February 2007.
