The Board of Formjet, the Aim listed alternative software vendor, is pleased to
announce the appointment of David Hennell as Group Sales and Development

strengthening the Group's brand awareness. As part of this process, all product

Notes to Editors:
Formjet Plc
Formjet Plc is a UK-based company with a highly distinctive business model. It
acquires territorial rights to 'alternative' software products, and markets,
sells, distributes and supports these products in place of the vendor in
worldwide markets. The strategy has at its heart the proposition that the
Company can acquire product lines in territories of at least one country without
the expense of either product development or the creation of IPR. The Formjet
Group currently has three focussed strategies:
Alternative Products
* Panda Software (UK) distributes Panda Software antivirus and security
products in the UK. With its high margins and recurring annual renewal
revenues, Panda is a major contributor to the Group's sales and
profitability.
* Ability Software International distributes a powerful suite of office
products. The Ability products form an integral part of the white label
opportunities that Formjet is creating. The Tesco Complete Office and Photo
Restyle products are amongst the best selling of their range
* Diamond Discovery Software is a new accountancy range designed to grow
with its end user. The range complements Formjet's Panda and Ability software
offerings and will be sold under the Diamond Discovery Prelude and Formjet
Accounts brands.
* EdAlive edutainment software will open up a new and growing market for
Formjet and will cover a range of subjects including maths, word skills and
spelling
Alternative Routes to Market
* Formjet Innovations is the specialist distribution arm of the Formjet
Group focusing on its alternative product range and associated alternative
routes to market. The focus here is on creating "white label" software,
targeting retail and brand leaders.
Research & Expansion
* The focus here is on targeting new product ranges and potential
acquisitions as Formjet builds on recent business wins with Tesco, Dell,
Woolworths and Jungle247. With the ongoing opportunities of launching new
alternative products, and the need to expand/refresh the current products,
research and expansion will play an important role in developing the business.
