Webloyalty Named Connecticut's Fastest Growing Technology Company for Second Consecutive Year in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program

NORWALK, CT. (Oct 13, 2006) - Webloyalty today announced it was rated the fastest growing technology company in Connecticut by Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for the Connecticut Region, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001-2005.

"Webloyalty is honored to again be recognized by the Deloitte Fast 50 for Connecticut for our continued growth," said Rick Fernandes, co-founder and CEO, Webloyalty. "Our company is made up of employees dedicated to our clients and to their customers. That commitment is reflected in our 15,151 percent revenue growth over the past five years."

The average increase in revenues among companies who made the Technology Fast 50 for this region was 51 percent.

"Sustaining high revenue growth over five years is an exceptional achievement. Webloyalty is the first company in our 10-year history to achieve top honors for two years running. We commend Webloyalty for making the commitment to the technology sector in the Connecticut Region," said Alex Discepolo, Director Lead Tax Services, Deloitte Tax LLP, Connecticut. "We are proud to announce Webloyalty as the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 winner."

To qualify for the Connecticut Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $5,000,000 in 2005, be headquartered in Connecticut, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.
