                                TRADING UPDATE


The Directors of Manpower Software plc announce today that, following their
initial review of the results for the year ended 31 May 2006, turnover for the
year is likely to be about £4.3 million from which the Company will derive a
loss before tax expected to be in the range £1.7 million to £1.8 million.  The
shortfall in turnover and the extent of the loss compared to both budget and
stock market expectations reflects delays in signing key contracts, each
containing a significant licence fee component. The Directors remain confident
that the Company will secure these contracts during the course of the current
financial year, the first of which is expected to be signed imminently.

The background to such delays was explained in the interim results announcement
on 28 February 2006.  The Directors drew attention to the fact that, while the
Company is bearing the cost of investment in its key markets, it remains highly
dependent on a small number of large contracts in public sector markets where
considerable change is occurring, where the sales cycles are often long and
complex, and where forecasting precise timing of closure has become more
difficult.  Deferral or acceleration of only a few of these can have a
significant impact on the Company's results.

The Directors are confident that the foundations put in place in 2005/6, coupled
with the significant potential opportunities in the three vertical markets
addressed by the Company, will result in a satisfactory outcome in 2006/7.

The Company's cash balances amounted to around £0.3 million as at 31 May 2006.
The Directors believe that, taking into account the Company's available
overdraft facility and cash due under contract, the Company continues to have
adequate resources for its present requirements.
