Exhibit 99.3

                              Smartlogik Group plc

                             Strategic Review Update

 London, England 19 April 2002: The Board of Smartlogik Group plc (LSE: SLK;
NASDAQ: SLGK) ("Smartlogik" or "the Company") the knowledge products company,
has convened with its financial and legal advisors to consider the current
status of the ongoing Strategic Review, initially announced on 25 January 2002.
In the course of the Strategic Review, a significant number of alternative deal
structures have been investigated and potentially interested parties contacted
by the Board and its advisors.

 The Board today remains in active discussions regarding two potential strategic
alternatives: the first relating to a sale of the trade and assets of the
Company and the other involving a fundraising and concurrent merger with a
private company.

 At the present time, there is no certainty that either of the above
transactions will be successfully concluded, nor that either will deliver any
future value for the Company's current shareholders.

 In the event that neither of these transactions is completed by 30 April 2002
the Group will have no choice but to seek the appointment of an Administrator as
it would no longer have sufficient cash resources to operate as a going concern,
as indicated in the Strategic Review Update announcement of 28 February 2002.
