Staffware, a global leader in Business Process Management (BPM) software, today
announces an update on its trading performance in respect of the third quarter
ended 30 September 2003.

For the third quarter of 2003, sales revenue was approximately #8.3 million, an
increase of 3% compared with the third quarter of 2002. Sales revenue for the
nine months to 30 September 2003 was approximately #29.4 million, compared with
#26.3 million for the equivalent period in 2002, an increase of 11.5%.

Cash balances as at 30 September 2003 were approximately #22.2 million, compared
with #21.3 million as at 30 June 2003 and #18.2 million as at 30 September 2002.
The Group has no material debt.

John O'Connell, Chairman and CEO of Staffware plc commented, "Trading for the
third quarter was relatively flat in what is traditionally the quietest period
of the year for sales.  We have again achieved a positive cash inflow for the
quarter. Whilst the timing of contract closures remains challenging, we are
entering the fourth quarter with a high value of prospects. Accordingly the
outlook for the year remains in line with the Board's expectations."
