2006 An Outstanding Year for LiquidPoint.

CHICAGO -- LiquidPoint, LLC, the Chicago-based total-solution provider for professional traders of listed equity options, announces that it has far exceeded 2006 projections by turning in its most outstanding yearly performance including huge increases in both options transaction volume and number of end-users.

The option contract volume executed via the HEAT[TM] System, LiquidPoint's premier product, increased exponentially nearly every month throughout 2006, managing to outpace the equally strong growth of the industry as a whole.

Anthony Saliba, CEO of LiquidPoint stated, "LiquidPoint's monthly contract volume in December was up over 100% compared to the same timeframe last year. Our 2006 volume was 78% greater than last year. With the onset of penny markets, we have every reason to expect this trend to continue in 2007."

Additionally, the total number of HEAT System users increased this year. Daniel Rooney, LiquidPoint's Director of Sales, said," Our user community increased in 2006 as we substantially increased our presence on the trading floor at key Wall Street firms."

LiquidPoint's technology affiliate, First Traders Analytical Solutions (FTAS), delivered several high-impact enhancements in 2006. These new capabilities allow our clients to further customize and simplify the application and focus it to meet their specific trading requirements. Among the new features delivered, the focus was on specific workflow efficiencies for Wall Street firms. According to Mr. Rooney, "These recent enhancements are satisfying a strong demand within this expanding industry, contributing to our firm's growth. As the exchanges race to differentiate themselves. LiquidPoint and FTAS are working to ensure their customers have all they need to take advantage of industry changes and new opportunities."

LiquidPoint's client base includes hedge funds, institutions, prime brokers and their customers and other professional options traders. The HEAT[TM] System is also available through select prime brokers.
