Trading statement and news update



Clarity Commerce Solutions plc, a leading supplier of software management
solutions for the entertainment, ticketing, hospitality and leisure sectors, is
publishing today a trading statement followed by a detailed update on the
Group's operations for the year ended 31 March 2005.



Trading update



The Group's overall trading performance for the recently completed financial
year has been in line with both the Board's and market expectations.



Cross-selling opportunities arising from recently acquired software divisions
are being realised, and the interest in the Groups' range of products remains
strong.  There continues to be strong demand by multi-site organisations for
integrated software products, together with a growing focus on centralised
solutions for the management of larger chains.



The Group's investment in providing a broad platform of software spanning a
number of market sectors and disciplines continues to appeal to existing and new
clients, as demonstrated in the news update below. The migration of the Group's
core software products to the .Net software platform is already underway, with
installations of .Net thin client versions taking place in the Group's Ticketing
and Hospitality divisions over the coming months.



Both the Business Intelligence and Services divisions continue to grow as
complimentary operations to Clarity's software division, but with a wider
customer focus.



In geographical terms, Clarity is beginning to exploit its reach into new
countries, particularly North America and Europe.



The Group expects to report preliminary figures for the year to 31 March 2005 in
late June.



                                                                   11 April 2005
