Clarity Announces Results of Initial Strategic Review and Commencement of Second
Phase of Review





Clarity Commerce Solutions plc ('Clarity' or the 'Group')



In our Preliminary Statement, the Group announced it had begun to review
strategy and focus on reducing costs and improving accountability. Clarity has
now implemented a number of changes in its structure, based around four trading
divisions - Retail, Leisure, Hospitality and Ticketing



Under the supervision of Ken Smith, divisional management is now focusing on
driving profitability through a higher number of lower revenue sales, and on
completing the ongoing programme of cost reductions and cash-generation.
Development expenditure is now being closely managed, at a much-reduced level,
based on specific customer requirements. Furthermore, it is planned to link
management remuneration to performance wherever practical.



In addition the Clarity Board has commissioned a second phase of the strategic
review which will be led by Graham York, CEO, during the second half of the
financial year. Clarity will analyse its markets and its competitive positioning
and examine which of the Group's activities are core and can deliver greater
profits and growth, particularly in the light of emerging trends in each of the
markets in which the Group operates, and the very fluid competitor and IT
landscape.



Such a review process will consider the divestment of non-core activities and
property, and/or the strengthening of areas in which the Board sees growth
potential.



By freeing the CEO from the day to day running of the business, yet ensuring
that the Group Managing Director remains focused on operational effectiveness,
Clarity is setting out to avoid the problems which have beset many companies in
the past, where, because of an emphasis on strategy, the management has been
distracted from its fundamental task of achieving profitability and positive
cash flow.
