Major Contract Wins

Clarity is pleased to announce the signing of a contract with the Laurel Pub
Company for the supply of EPOS, back office, and Clarity Central head office
software across their managed estate of 621 houses. The Laurel Pub Company was
formed by Morgan Grenfell Private Equity to acquire the former Whitbread Pubs
and Bars Division.

The implementation of the Clarity system is part of a strategy to improve ways
of working for Laurel house managers. Bruce Gardner, managed IT director,
states that 'our business plan demonstrates that the new system will deliver
measurable benefits across the estate, and importantly, allows our managers to
spend more time with our customers.'

Work on the software implementation is underway, with a planned roll out
commencing in January 2002. The implementation will include deploying Clarity
Central across head office users, providing desktop based control of product,
pricing and promotional management. The concurrent installation of web based
business intelligence tools will give Laurel management easy access to instant
information on sales, margins, trends and exceptions.

The contract for software and associated hardware is worth £2.4m to Clarity
over the next 12 months. Laurel has also appointed Microtrain, the Clarity
Group subsidiary, for the provision of roll out and training services,
contributing further revenues.

Further news from Clarity: Grey Archer have a PC based system that
incorporates a complete supply chain for pub tenants and a roll out is planned
across 15,000 tenanted pubs over the next five years. Clarity has been
appointed by Grey Archer as the sole recommended Epos system supplier for
their clients.

Commenting on this contract Peter Thomas Business Development Manager at Grey
Archer stated:

'In the near future tenants will be able to place their orders automatically
based on the information supplied by the Epos system. Having carried out
research amongst all the leading providers of Epos systems Clarity won the day
on best value and fit within the tenanted estate. In our view, Clarity has a
well-proven solution, they understand the market very well and the needs of
licencees. They are the only Epos provider we can recommend.'
