Notes to editors:

Maxima Holdings plc floated on AIM on 24 November 2004 at an issue price of
110p. It was established to acquire businesses supplying IT solutions and
services, with the objective of building a focused IT services group. On
flotation it immediately acquired Azur Holdings Ltd, bringing together a
management team with the skill, experience and incentive to deliver significant
shareholder value, through a combination of acquisitive and organic growth. The
business implements and supports enterprise software solutions for mid-sized,
UK-based manufacturing, distribution and service organisations. These solutions
are based upon leading software suites such as Oracle, Microsoft and SAP as well
as products developed in-house.

It has since made a further six acquisitions:

  * August 2005 - Ringwood Group plc, a specialist in content and document
    management solutions, based on Microsoft technologies;
  * September 2005 - Hanston Technology Partners Ltd, a fast growing managed
    services business providing applications support and consultancy services to
    Oracle users;
  * January 2006 - The MFG/PRO business of Seabrook Research Ltd, the sole
    Irish distributor of MFG/PRO, a manufacturing package for which Maxima was
    already the sole UK distributor; and
  * May 2006 - QED Business Systems Ltd, which provides managed services for
    critical mainframe and mid-range computer systems and applications software.
  * October 2006 - Cognition Solutions Limited which supplies ERP (Enterprise
    Resource Planning) software solutions and services to the construction and
    facilities management sector.
  * November 2006 - Intertech Solutions Ireland Ltd, which provides IT
    infrastructure solutions and managed services based upon Citrix
    technologies.

Maxima has grown to become an IT systems integration and managed services
company with a proven track record of delivering innovative and flexible IT
solutions and services. Maxima's in-depth knowledge of industry and business,
coupled with its skills and understanding of leading software suites ensures its
solutions and services deliver real business benefits. The group prides itself
on the quality of its service which lead to strong customer relationships and
high retention rates.
