                   WITHDRAWAL FROM NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS

Xansa, the international business process and IT services company, announces
that as part of its strategy to build upon its integrated IT and BPO strengths
using its offshore model, the decision has been taken to withdraw from its
current North American operations.

At the Interim results in December 2003, Xansa announced that it was exploring
all options concerning North America and this withdrawal will represent the
optimum outcome.

This process has commenced and will be undertaken so as to ensure that client
and staff obligations are appropriately discharged.  It is expected that it will
be complete by around May 2004.
