In-Touch to Acquire MarketLine Research of Minneapolis

OTTAWA, April 14, 2008 /CNW Telbec/ - In-Touch Survey Systems Ltd. ("In-Touch" TSX-Venture: INX) announces that it will acquire MarketLine Research Inc. ("MarketLine") of Minneapolis, MN. MarketLine was founded in Minneapolis by a team of market research experts in 1995. The company's products and services are primarily founded on an internally developed call centre and software technology called MarketVU.

MarketVU is a proprietary computer aided telephone interviewing (CATI) system plus a tabulation and reporting engine which provides a significant competitive advantage over rivals that have to outsource this requirement.

MarketLine will be acquired for cash and a promissory note - payable over five years. In-Touch will internally fund the acquisition. In calendar 2007, MarketLine revenues exceeded $750,000. "We expect to close this transaction in the next several weeks pending board and regulatory approvals. MarketLine provides In-Touch with a new complimentary data collection technology, which strengthens and broadens our product line, along with new customers and a sales and service hub for the Midwest USA.

"The addition of the MarketVu technology moves In-Touch closer to our strategic goal of being the leading supplier of real-time, mobile, data collection and reporting technology to Fortune 1000 marketing and operations departments. We are looking forward to the immediate positive impact from MarketLine to increase In-Touch revenues", said Michael Gaffney, Chief Executive Officer.
