UNIONDALE, NY, May 18, 2006 — OpenLink, a leading provider of energy and financial trading and risk management software solutions announced today that Energy Risk magazine, one of Incisive Media's premier publications, has selected OpenLink as the '2006 Software House of the Year'. For the tenth consecutive year, the editorial board at Energy Risk (www.energyrisk.com) went through numerous nominations, which in the end, lead them to OpenLink.

"With what we have seen of the company over the year, it was decided to place OpenLink's nomination into the Software House of the Year category. Considering this is a fiercely fought award, we congratulate OpenLink on their success" said Stella Farrington, editor of Energy Risk Magazine. The awards ceremony and dinner was held during the Energy Risk USA conference and exhibition in Houston, TX on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 at the Intercontinental Houston hotel where Coleman Fung, OpenLink's founder and CEO accepted the award.

As seen in Energy Risk's May issue, "OpenLink's 2005 investment in broad and niche energy markets won it continued deep respect from the market. Its Active Position Manager module used in conjunction with its flagship product Endur puts the 'trading' back into ETRM, offering traders fully customizable real-time position pages."
