    Xpertise Group PLC
     ("Xpertise", "the Company" or "the Group")

    The Company has noticed the announcement made this morning by Lincoln International LLP regarding the offer by QA-IQ Investments (UK)
Limited for Xpertise's entire issued and to be issued share capital. The Company is considering how to respond. In the meantime, the Company
advises shareholders to take no action. A further announcement will follow in due course.

    In accordance with Rule 2.10 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the Company confirms that it has 5,633,949 ordinary shares of 8p
each in issue and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange under UK ISIN code GB00B0Z6YX31.

    Dealing Disclosure Requirements:

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), if any person is, or becomes, "interested"
(directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of the Company, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of
that company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly
disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement
will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn
or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal
or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of the Company, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of
Rule 8.3.

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of the Company by the Company, or by any of its
respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of the
relevant transaction.

    A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of
such securities in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

    "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in
the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of
securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities. 

    Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether
or not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
