                                 Trading Update

The current year has started well with overall sales increasing compared to last
year and Datamonitor now expects to achieve a profit before tax in the first
half. We have continued to invest in product development whilst still reducing
total costs. The cash balance has increased significantly from the year-end cash
balance of #13.1m, due to the move into profitability and strong working capital
management.



Datamonitor will be reporting interim results for the six months ended 30th June
2003 on Monday 28th July 2003.
