Another customer expands ERNEX - Family Golf To Roll-out CSI'S ERNEX(TM) System CSI Credit Systems International Inc. ("CSI") announces the expansion of the ERNEX service into an additional 32 North American sites for Family Golf Centre Inc. ("Family Golf") of New York. Family Golf, which has been piloting the ERNEX service at 11 sites in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina since November 1998, has decided to roll-out the ERNEX service. Phase II will be to an additional 32 sites in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Kansas and Texas. Roll-out will involve the installation of 53 GT-100 terminal systems for the operation of an enhanced ERNEX program. The new program will see ERNEX tracking the activation date of new membership cards and the redemption of coupons. In addition, ERNEX will notify the customer when the membership card is close to expiry. This will all be done in real-time at the point of sale, in addition to the current points program by which ERNEX pushes customized messages back to the customer based on their purchase history. When this phase of roll-out is complete, Family Golf will be operating ERNEX programs at 43 of the 116 sites involving a total of 67 GT-100 terminal systems. In Canada, Family Golf centres operate under the name Eaglequest. "Roll-out of the Family Golf real-time customer loyalty ERNEX service is a strong endorsement of the ERNEX service and its abilities in the American marketplace." says CSI President James Christensen. "We have been very pleased with the results of the initial pilot program and look forward to the expanded program." says Stacey Morton, Loyalty Marketing Manager for Family Golf. "ERNEX has shown great flexibility and the reporting capabilities have helped us begin to move down the path of customer relationship marketing.". Family Golf owns and operates 116 golf centers. The centers are devoted to offering a variety of high quality golfing experiences to every member of the family. Each of the centers provides a selection of practice opportunities including a year-round driving range, facilities for chipping, putting, and pitching, golf instruction, a miniature and/or golf course, well equipped pro-shop and a snack bar.

CSI lands McDonalds as a customer, joining Nike, Levi Strauss and Best Western. Today McDonalds started a pilot in one store in Surrey BC with 4 CSI terminals. They displaced Royal Bank terminals because they are able to provide the paper audit trail for people withdrawing cash on Debit cards as well as paying for the meal. With the terminals in place other promotional programs can be offered in the future. Stock price is 88c today.

Let's hope there will be billions and billions served by CSI. Think of the transaction fees on a franchise with that kind of volume.

Volume not racing today as previous few days .... understand there has been at least one newsletter (MiniCap ?) picked up on CSU ... sending out 6000 odd copies. Will probably hit Friday or Monday .. I'm looking for 1.15 to 1.20 but the good news is yet too come ... getting rumblings of something largess... scuttlebutt is major bank contract ... will have to wait and see... if my suspicions are correct this will be very good and maybe even some day give us a little dividend ... now wouldn't that be nice !
