Invu plc

COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS
INVESTING STRATEGY).  IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
STATED:


The Group's business is the development and sale of document and information management software programmes that
operate on stand-alone PCs, networked PCs and client server systems. The software allows documents of any size and
format, from correspondence and faxes to technical drawings and electronic files, to be stored on computer memory and
retrieved instantly. To store such information, Invu software also scans paper and creates files and imports documents.
The software also provides a mechanism to manage and retrieve the imported and filed information.

The Group continues to target its sales and marketing efforts on several easily identifiable and proven market
channels, namely value added resellers ("VARs"), strategic alliances with established information technology companies
and distributors. The Group's principal geographic markets are the UK and the Netherlands, and the Group intends to
continue to develop these markets whilst cautiously expanding into other territories.


The Group's objective is to establish itself as a leading global supplier of information and document management
software and services. The Directors believe that as the market matures, the purchase of document management systems
will become increasingly routine as buyers become acquainted with the available technology and applications and their
benefits. In order to deal with the increased demand, the Company continues to improve the quality of its third party
VARs. Branding and product positioning are both fundamental to attaining the market share required to profitably
achieve the Group's objective of being a leading supplier of information and document management software. The Group
will continue to assess its target markets with a view to expanding its business beyond the UK and the Netherlands into
Europe and the USA. The Directors intend to use the Netherlands as a platform for entering the wider continental
European market, in particular English speaking Scandinavian countries, by adopting similar VAR strategies to those
employed in the UK and the Netherlands and using distributors where appropriate. The Directors believe that the US
market has significant potential for the Group in due course and intend to commence an effective channel to that
market.
