CMS WebView signs five new corporate clients for ProphetX

Premier Chocolate Products, a leading UK manufacturer and supplier of chocolate
and cocoa-based ingredients and David Cater Limited, a UK-based physical
commodity broker, are two of the five new corporate clients to subscribe to
ProphetX in December 2003. ProphetX is the market price display system for
commodity and energy traders sold under exclusive licence in the UK by market
data systems specialist CMS WebView plc ("CMS").

With the addition of the latest five companies, this means that 20 corporate
clients have now subscribed to the ProphetX service since July 2003 when CMS
began fully marketing the product in the UK. In addition, a growing number of
private traders are also signing up for ProphetX terminals.

ProphetX is a professional real-time market display and analysis product that
has been developed by US company DTN Market Access. Typically priced at #200 per
month per terminal, it has already proved popular in the US, selling over 4,000
terminals.

CMS recently raised #2.5 million in new funds from a share placing with
financial institutions. Some of the proceeds of the placing are being used to
accelerate the marketing and sales efforts for the ProphetX system.

Bob Antell, Chief Executive of CMS, said:

"Our corporate clients are using ProphetX to trade energy, agricultural and
tropical commodities. Private clients tend to prefer to use it to trade a range
of financial futures contracts. For a product that we only began to market in
earnest in July, we're very pleased with the level of sales achieved so far,
which have now hit internal targets. With the new money we've just raised, we're
now able to expand our marketing presence in these particular sectors in 2004."

Neil Palmer, Chocolate Account Manager at Premier Chocolate Products, said:

"ProphetX has shown advantages over our previous price display system. The
comprehensive charting features together with the facility to create customised
work books will give us greater flexibility in the way we analyse and record
market data. In addition, ProphetX will allow us to more readily enhance and
tailor information to satisfy customers' individual requirements."

The ProphetX system combines live market data, powerful analytical tools, as
well as up-to-the minute news. ProphetX can be internet-delivered or installed
on a firm's network. As it has been developed for use on standard Microsoft
platforms, users are already familiar with the on-screen environment. Moreover,
the system can be accessed remotely, allowing it to be used when traders are
away from their desks.

About CMS

CMS (www.cms.co.uk) listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London
Stock Exchange (AIM: CWV) in August 2000. Since its original formation in 1982,
CMS has developed extensive expertise in the area of real-time market data
collection, processing and distribution.

Until 1997, when a management buy-out took place, CMS was a subsidiary of the
London Commodity Exchange and latterly LIFFE.

CMS's lead product - Transactional Data Interface ("TDI") - enables clients to
control the collection, processing and distribution of mission critical data for
their business needs. TDI customers include three of the world's leading futures
exchanges - the London Metal Exchange (LME), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
(CME) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT).

In addition to the above, CMS is also a well-established provider of Digital
Data Feeds ("DDF") for the wholesale market. The company has developed DDF using
its proprietary TDI software and carries a wide range of real-time data directly
from many of the world's leading futures and options exchanges.

CMS has also entered into an agreement with USA based Data Transmission Network
LLC ("DTN") to market its PC based price reporting service (ProphetX) in Europe
- this represents a major opportunity for CMS to target the high-end sector of
the quote vendor terminal market.
