CMS WebView wins rights to distribute ProphetX in Europe

CMS WebView is pleased to announce that it has won the sole rights to sell and
support ProphetX, the market price display system for energy and commodity
traders, in mainland Europe. CMS's agreement with US firm DTN Market Access,
owner of ProphetX, extends the exclusive rights CMS has to market ProphetX in
the UK.

Since last summer, when CMS began marketing ProphetX in the UK, it has
successfully sold the service to over 20 corporate clients including Vitol and
E.D & F Man, both multinational commodities trading companies, as well as Fortis
Bank. CMS believes the close working relationship it has developed with DTN, and
its experience of selling ProphetX in the UK, should help it quickly penetrate
the extensive European market.

Following the agreement with DTN, CMS is actively recruiting a network of agents
to handle the increased sales activity.CMS has begun preliminary discussions
with several possible agents and plans to have them operating initially in the
major European commodity trading centres. It is anticipated that initial
agreements will be in place by the end of the first quarter. Until then, CMS's
London office will handle European sales.

ProphetX is a professional real-time market display and analysis product for
commodity traders 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 USA, selling over 4,000 terminals.

Bob Antell, Chief Executive of CMS, commented:

"We're looking forward to building on the success already achieved in the UK and
obtaining further sales in Europe. We're starting our entry into Europe via the
major commodity trading centres, where a number of our current clients have
branches or indeed their headquarters. These therefore represent likely
opportunities for immediate sales."

Corey Meyer,President of DTN Market Access, said:

"DTN has been impressed with CMS's efforts to-date and we are pleased to build
on our strong relationship by extending CMS's sales territory to include Europe.
ProphetX continues to be a core and strategic element of DTN's business. We look
forward to building on our own success of ProphetX sales in the USA with this
extension of our relationship with CMS."
