ILX GROUP PLC
AGM STATEMENT
At its Annual General Meeting later this morning, Ken Scott, the Chief Executive
of ILX Group plc ("ILX" or "the Company"), the AIM quoted provider of e-learning
software and business training to both the private and public sectors, will make
the following comments:
"Despite difficult market conditions in the second half of last year we
demonstrated considerable revenue growth, and a significant underlying profit,
which was a highly creditable result. Our strategy for some years has been to
focus on the provision of hard skills training to our customers through a
combination of innovative e-learning products and traditional classroom training
and this has been combined with a drive towards overseas expansion, to further
diversify our client base geographically.
We recently announced a significant order from the Mexican Government and we are
confident that we can build upon this and expand the model throughout Central
and South America. In addition we have made excellent progress in developing
new clients in the Middle East and Australia. Our sales of e-learning software,
in particular, have shown strong growth in the current financial year.
Market conditions remain challenging, but both divisions have recently won new
business, and are continuing to win market share. At the same time, we have
taken action to considerably reduce the overhead cost within the business.
This, combined with the growth in e-learning and overseas sales, allows us to
be optimistic regarding the Company's prospects.
Finally, I would like to thank the management team and all the staff for their
hard work that has enabled ILX to grow despite the difficult marketplace."
