#1:  As a brief comment to the article that appeared in the Dutch press I
would like to inform you that Swets is operationally sound and that
management is confident that the issues will be resolved at the
shareholders meeting this Friday.

We are unable to comment further until after this meeting and we will
issue a press release at that point.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Dear All,
 
On behalf of the Management of Swets & Zeitlinger, I would like to make a
short statement about our plans for the future.
 
Resulting from the high level of confidence of the shareholders and
management in the future of the company, we shortly expect to announce a
significant strengthening of our share capital through the provision of
new investment funds by our shareholders.  These new funds will be used to
accelerate our investments in e-services which will thereby further
improve our services to our clients.  Moreover, we will use part of the
new funds to re-structure our organisation in order to further improve
service and efficiency for the longer term.
 
We apologise that we are unable to give you more detailed information at
this stage but would like to assure you that we will keep you informed as
soon as we can report on new developments.
 
Thank you for your support.
 
John Martin
