CT announces Parago's record revenues of $19.5 million, and River Logic's closing of strategic financing and record revenues of $2.7 million

Dallas, TX . . . April 12, 2001 -- CT Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CITN) today announced its financial results for its ten month transition period ended December 31, 2000 and provided updates on its holdings, Parago and River Logic.

CT Holdings' revenues for the ten month transition period ended December 31, 2000 were $460,985, a decrease of 64.3% from software revenues of $1,292,250 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000. Revenues do not include any subsidiary revenue from CT Holdings' investments. The Company reported a net loss for the ten months ended December 31, 2000 of $8,125,258 (including approximately $1.2 million of Parago's losses), or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $23,656,939, or $0.56 per share, for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000, which included approximately $18.1 million of Parago's losses for that period. CT Holdings continues to hold 20,000,000 shares of Parago common stock.

"We continue to feel very positive about the businesses of our current holdings. We believe that Parago's client value proposition is compelling, its technology is being well received, and its client list continues to grow. Parago continues to expand its business model, rolling out its ValueRewards^sm programs, recording record revenues of $19.5 million in 2000, and growing its client base, including an additional 16 new national accounts in the first quarter this year," commented Steven B. Solomon, President and Chief Executive Officer of CT Holdings.

Mr. Solomon continued, "River Logic's leading edge software solutions continue to be well received by its business clients, as evidenced by its recently announced strategic alliance with PricewaterhouseCoopers. River Logic also recorded revenues of $2.7 million for its first seven months of operations, and announced that it has received an investment from the Intel® 64 Fund, along with Cardinal Investment, CT Holdings, eMed Ventures, and Mercury Ventures."

 Recent highlights for CT Holdings' business development projects include the following:

 -- In Q3 and Q4 2000, Parago received an additional $15 million in venture capital funds, through a sale of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to two of its existing venture capital investors.

 -- Parago currently has approximately 290 employees. Parago recently hired a new Executive Vice President of Sales, Steve Blum. Previously, Steve was Vice President, The Americas, for Mentor Graphics Corporation, an electronic design automation software firm with approximately $560 million in annual revenues, where he managed 250 sales and support personnel.

 -- Parago has continued to roll out its ValueRewards^SM upsell/cross-sell technology application. ValueRewards is now part of Parago's regular product offering. Parago has begun to record revenues from this exciting application. 

 -- Parago is currently pursuing COPC certification for its operations and customer service organizations (COPC is similar to Malcolm Baldridge's ISO 9000 but designed specifically for Parago's type of business). Parago believes that COPC certification is a hallmark of a world class operation and is a competitive advantage for those who obtain it.

 -- In April 2001, River Logic, a leading provider of decision-support technology, announced it received an investment from the Intel® 64 Fund. Financial details were not disclosed. The Intel 64 Fund investment was made in support of River Logic's commitment to port and tune its Enterprise Optimizer^TM software application to Intel’s IA-64 platform, beginning with the Itanium^TM processor. Other investors contributing in this round of funding include Cardinal Investment, CT Holdings, eMed Ventures, and Mercury Ventures.

 -- In January 2001, River Logic announced that it entered into a strategic alliance with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Heads Up Systems (HUS) to jointly develop and implement optimization solutions.  The alliance was created to better enable River Logic, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and HUS to directly address the increasing challenges facing companies in optimizing performance to maximize value for their stakeholders. River Logic, PricewaterhouseCoopers and HUS will work with clients to identify areas where improved decision-making will have the greatest impact on enterprise profit. The alliance combines the three companies' complementary knowledge and expertise to develop, market, implement, and support Enterprise Optimization Solutionality (EOS)^TM.
