                                 Craneware plc
                         ('Craneware' or the 'Company')
                               H1 TRADING UPDATE

11 January 2008 -  Craneware plc, (AIM: CRW) a leader in revenue cycle
management software solutions for the US healthcare market, is pleased to give
an update today on trading during the half year to 31 December 2007.

Following the Company's IPO on AIM in September 2007, Craneware has executed on
its strategy to further advance its market leading position. In the six months
to 31 December 2007, the Company signed up 96 new hospitals, compared to 64 in
the previous corresponding period.  As a result, the Company's software is now
being used in 878 hospitals in the US, up from 800 at the beginning of the year.

Revenue for the first half of the year was in line with management expectations,
with new sales bookings being over 50% higher than the previous corresponding
period. Craneware's flagship product, Chargemaster Toolkit(R), was also once
again named top in its class by the prestigious industry research house KLAS in
the US.

As stated at the time of the IPO, the Company believes there is a significant
opportunity to sell additional software products into its customer base and as
such has added two further products to its suite aimed at the finance department
of US hospitals. In November, Craneware launched Patient Charge Estimator(TM),
which enables hospitals to efficiently and accurately provide prospective
patients with estimates of procedural charges. Yesterday the Company launched
Pharmacy ChargeLink(TM) which enables hospitals to improve the buying, billing 
and reimbursement of pharmacy items.

Craneware has started the second half of the year with a strong pipeline of
sales prospects and this together with the new product launches gives management
confidence for the Company's performance for the full year. Overall, significant
progress has been made in H1 and the Company anticipates further positive
newsflow in H2. Craneware will be announcing Interim results on Tuesday 26th
February 2008.

Keith Neilson, CEO of Craneware, commented, 'We are delighted with the progress
made during the first few months of life as a public company. Craneware
continues to grow and we have maintained our leading position as a provider of
revenue cycle management software to US hospitals. The complexity of legislation
governing this sector, and the high proportion of hospitals still using manual
solutions to manage their revenue cycles, means we are operating in a vibrant
marketplace with opportunity for growth alongside continuing high levels of
contract renewals.  We look forward to updating shareholders in February.'
