: AFFI) today announced that it has raised $1.9 million through the sale of additional convertible notes under its convertible note program. The convertible notes mature in two years, are convertible into the Company's common stock at $.42 per share, and are secured by all the outstanding stock of the Company's wholly-owned patent licensing subsidiary, decisioning.com, Inc. The notes were issued in a private placement transaction. However, Affinity has agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on or before January 31, 2007, a registration statement with respect to Affinity's common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.

Mr. Boyle stated, "We were very pleased with the interest in this round of the Company's financing activities. This is the first sale of our convertible notes since the program was restructured and expanded to $5 million last month. This is by far our largest and most significant placement since we started the convertible note program four years ago. We plan to use the proceeds to support the further commercialization of our intellectual property."
