                               I-DESIGN GROUP PLC

                          ("i-design" or "the Group")

                                 AGM Statement


i-design, the media company which has developed a market leading ATM advertising
solution enabling ATM network owners to run third party advertising campaigns
across their ATMs, is holding its first AGM today, following its admission to
AIM in July 2007.

James Faulds, Chairman, will make the following statement on trading:

"We grew significantly during the financial year to 30 September 2007, with the
signing of two major ATM network owners, HSBC plc and Alliance & Leicester plc,
and the extension of our contract with Nationwide Building Society. In addition,
our AIM IPO in July has raised our profile within the banking ATM marketplace
and strengthened the Company's balance sheet.

The new financial year has begun well. On 14 January, i-design announced a
landmark contract with The Royal Bank of Scotland plc ("RBS"), the largest ATM
network owner in the UK. The contract commences with the installation of ATM:ad,
our ATM advertising solution, on approximately 2,500 RBS Cashline ATMs at Tesco
stores nationwide. This latest contract win means that i-design has sold
software licences for its advertising solution covering a total of some 14,800
ATMs in the UK, representing approximately 44 per cent. of UK ATMs operated by
financial institutions. Importantly, it also means that we have now doubled the
number of ATMs over which we have exclusive rights to sell third party
advertising space.

We expect to see a significant increase in advertising sales revenue this
financial year compared to last year, driven by our third party advertising
agreements with RBS, Alliance & Leicester and Nationwide. Additionally, we
believe that our ability to run advertising campaigns across multiple ATM
networks is very attractive to existing and potential advertising clients.

We continue to see good growth opportunities, both in the UK and overseas, and
view prospects for the current year and beyond very positively."

About i-design group plc

Based in Newport-on-Tay, Scotland, i-design has developed a market leading
advertising solution for ATM network owners, such as retail banks, which enables
them to run third party advertising campaigns across their ATM estates and so
generate new revenues from their ATMs. The solution, which is called 'ATM:ad',
was launched in 2004.

With the operational costs of ATM networks growing and significant consumer
opposition to bank and building society ATM charges, the Directors believe that
network owners are increasingly looking for alternative ways to generate
additional revenues to make their ATMs more profitable. The Group's solution
represents an attractive proposition, particularly since the Directors believe
that it is currently the only ATM advertising solution in the UK which combines
both the software and media sales capability necessary to facilitate third party
advertising across ATM networks.

Customers of i-design include: Nationwide Building Society, HSBC plc, Alliance &
Leicester plc and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc.

i-design has secured and managed ATM advertising campaigns for a wide variety of
advertisers including British Airways, Easyjet, Orange, Vodafone, Kwik-Fit,
Nivea, New Look, Orion and the Central Office of Information.

The Group joined AIM in July 2007.
