Investor Relations

The information provided is disclosed in accordance with Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies (February 2007), updated as of 10 March 2008.

In a market estimated to be worth more than US$100 billion, GoIndustry-DoveBid has become a leading force in changing the way in which surplus industrial assets are bought and sold. Since the company was founded in 1999 it has leveraged the growing popularity and effectiveness of online auctions, which when married to the company's acknowledged expertise in equipment valuation, marketing and database management has proved a powerful combination for international expansion.

In 2006 GoIndustry-DoveBid enhanced its position further by expanding the reach of its global buyer database, increasing online auction penetration and aligning its sales force with the most significant opportunities. In April 2007 the company raised £6.6 million to finance further growth initiatives. In the process it strengthened its balance sheet and broadened its institutional shareholder base.

The management of the company believe that there is considerable scope for future growth. Even as the market leader, GoIndustry-DoveBid's market share accounts for less than 1% of the estimated global market. Because the market is so fragmented, GoIndustry-DoveBid believes it can increase its sales significantly over the coming years. The company is focused on driving its growth both organically and via carefully targeted acquisitions.

In February 2008, GoIndustry-DoveBid acquired DoveBid, Inc., a global provider of capital asset auction and valuation services.
