Acquisition of IPACS e-Solutions (S) Pte Ltd

Kewill Systems plc (LSE: KWL), (“Kewill” or “the Group”), the leading provider of global supply chain execution software and services, announces the acquisition of IPACS e-Solutions (S) Pte Ltd (“IPACS e-Solutions”), a division of IPACS Asia Pte Ltd, a leading IT solution provider for the Transportation and Logistics industry within Asia, for an initial consideration of S$5.5 million (£1.85 million) in cash. In addition, at various dates in the 24 months following completion, up to S$4.5 million (£1.55 million) will be payable in cash as deferred consideration subject to the attainment of performance criteria related to revenues.

IPACS e-Solutions, which has offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai, plays a leading role in the international trade marketplaces across Southeast Asia, Korea, Japan and China. Kewill believes it can benefit greatly from an increased global footprint and in particular the opportunity to participate in Singapore’s growing International Trade marketplace. Furthermore, IPACS’ java-based Advanced Logistics System will be used in the EMEA and North American marketplaces.

IPACS’s Freight Forwarding solution, Advanced Logistics System (ALS) is designed on an open platform with leading edge Java and J2EE technology which deploys international data in a multi-lingual format. Following S$2.7 million (£0.9 million) of investment in the product recently, the scalability of ALS allows adaptation to varying operational requirements including the needs of the North American and European marketplace. In addition TradeNet, IPACS customs product, is the leading solution in Singapore and Malaysia with some 1300 users.

All IPACS e-Solutions divisions will become part of the Kewill Global Trade and Logistics business. Sing Lam Wong will remain as CEO of the new Kewill IPACS, reporting to Paul Nichols, CEO of Kewill Systems plc.

In its latest financial year ended 31 December 2006, IPACS made an unaudited profit before tax of S$13,000 (£4,000) after non-recurring management charges and had gross assets of S$2.9 million (£1.0 million) at that date.

Commenting on the acquisition, Paul Nichols, CEO of Kewill, stated:

“The Asian marketplace, including Southeast Asia, Korea, China and Japan, comprises the fastest growing market for Logistics solutions worldwide. We believe this is the ideal opportunity to extend the capabilities of our International Trade solutions into Asia with IPACS and its award-winning technology. Incorporating IPACS capabilities with our market leading trade solutions in EMEA and North America will create an unprecedented global trade solution that can be initiated from anywhere in the world and provide complete visibility and control of goods throughout the export/import process.”
