CFI Announces Surfside to Exhibit at International Taxicab and Livery Association; WinTaxi, TranWare's Newest Product Addition, to be Demonstrated

    CLEARWATER, Fla.--Sept. 29, 2000--CFI Mortgage, Inc. (OTCBB:CFIM), a broad, technology-based consumer finance company serving the national and international markets, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Surfside Software Systems, will exhibit at the ITLA (International Taxicab and Livery Association) Annual Convention and Trade Show at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada, October 2nd through 4th.
    "Visitors to the Surfside booth will be able to catch a glimpse of the exciting growth potential that exists with the Genesis technology from RJ Systems. The successful roll-out of the WinTaxi(TM) system paves the way for Surfside's entry into vertical markets," said Stephen Williams, President and CEO. "In addition, for the first time, we will also be discussing the utilization of our headquarters training center for advanced customer training to provide resellers, dealers and distributors with structured instruction. We will work together to insure they are equipped to preserve their investment in our services, and sell and implement the wide variety of high-performance TranWare systems throughout the marketplace," Mr. Williams continued.
    System modules, including order entry, dispatch, scheduling, cashiering, billing and vehicle maintenance, will be showcased at the ITLA. Recently featured on The Discovery Channel's "On the Inside" program as well as in other broadcast media, the automatic mobile data terminal dispatch and automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems will be displayed. Hardware from Qualcomm, CES Wireless Technologies, Rim Pagers and King Communications, representing new interfaces for the TranWare AutoDisp dispatching system, will also be on display.
    TranWare's newest product addition, WinTaxi, will be demonstrated. Exploiting the power of the latest Microsoft Windows(R) technology and bringing a new level of sophistication and flexibility to the ground transportation market, WinTaxi was designed using Genesis technology from RJ Systems.
    The staff of RJ Systems is finalizing their relocation from California to Clearwater. Pending results from the Financial Valuation Group of Florida, the acquisition of RJ systems by CFI Mortgage, Inc., is expected to close by October 15th.
    CFI has recently restructured to diversify its product offering, capitalizing on two major trends: wireless communications and Internet capabilities. The Company is continuing to work with leading companies in this industry, creating new interfaces to serve a growing customer base while intensifying its acquisition search for companies that fit its long-term growth strategy.
