With this fall's introduction of Exegy Ticker Plant 2.0, Exegy is
offering

-- level II functionality, which allows fast analysis of order books and
       market depth
    -- access to North American and European exchange data
    -- an add-on framework that allows customizable analytics, including a
       sophisticated arbitrage calculator



This latest update to the Exegy Ticker Plant also consolidates exchange
market data into a virtual order book allowing customers to focus on all
relevant orders side by side or arrange the orders into a price-aggregated
view.

And now that the Exegy Ticker Plant 2.0 includes level 2 feed handlers,
customers will be able to analyze market data from ARCA (NYSE OrderBook),
NYSE OpenBook, Toronto (OrderBook), NASDAQ Totalview, Euronext level 2 and
Frankfurt/Xetra level 2 in a single Exegy appliance with under 100
microseconds of latency.

To make the Exegy Ticker Plant 2.0 even more attractive to those who want
a competitive advantage, Exegy has built the new ticker plant with an add-on
framework that supports optional modules such as index arbitrage calculations
and options analytics -- all without impacting performance.

"Customers were asking for exactly this -- a hardware-accelerated system
that could deliver market-leading speed and throughput with the ability to
add custom functionality in a single appliance," says Scott Parsons, Exegy's
chief scientist and architect. "So our team responded quickly."

Parsons noted that Exegy's technology is built in-house with a dedicated
team committed to deploying the latest technologies to create market-leading
solutions for our customers.

"Our team is focused on staying ahead of the technology curve, responding
to our customers' needs so our customers can maintain their competitive
advantage," says Exegy Chairman Jim O'Donnell. "We hire the best, and they
continue to deliver the best Ticker Plant out there."

Parsons will participate in a panel at the 2007 High Performance on Wall
Street conference (http://www.highperformanceonwallstreet.com) at the
Roosevelt Hotel in New York on Sept. 17. Called "Implementing Hardware
Accelerated Applications for Market Data and Financial Computations," the
panel will examine how hardware acceleration technologies, such as FPGAs, can
be leveraged by financial markets, ISVs and end users to provide the compute
power required for processing high volume market data, and financial
computations in real time.
