South Carolina Court of Appeals Rules in the Ligon Case
Contributed by Business Wire

Affinity Technology Group, Inc. (OTCBB: AFFI) announced November 2, 2006, that the South Carolina Court of Appeals has reinstated a jury verdict against the Company and its founder, Jeff Norris, of $382,148 in connection with a lawsuit brought against the Company by Temple Ligon.

The jury verdict resulted from a January 2004 trial, in which Ligon claimed that Affinity breached an agreement to give him a 1% equity interest in the company in consideration for services he claims to have performed in 1993 and 1994.

Ligon sought damages of $5.4 million. The jury verdict of $382,148 was set aside by the trial judge in July 2004. Ligon appealed the trial judge's ruling to the Court of Appeals.

Joe Boyle, Affinity's president and chief executive officer, stated, "We are not in agreement with the Appeal Court's ruling concerning this ten-year-old case. We continue to believe the trial court judge ruled properly in overturning the jury verdict and that we have meritorious defenses against Mr. Ligon's claims. We will petition the Appeals Court for a rehearing of this case and seek further appeals, if necessary."
