AFFINITY ANNOUNCES STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH REDMOND FUND


Columbia, SC, June 5, 2000
- Affinity Technology Group, Inc. [NASDAQ: AFFI] today announced that it has entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Redmond Fund, Inc., based in Redmond, Washington. Under the terms of the agreement, Redmond Fund will acquire approximately 485,000 shares of Affinity’s common stock for $500,000. Each share of common stock will include a two-year warrant to acquire an additional share of Affinity’s stock for $1.37. The agreement also contemplates that the Redmond Fund will conduct, during the 90-day period following the date of the agreement, additional due diligence regarding the Company. Subject to the Redmond Fund's satisfaction with the results of the due diligence review, the agreement would permit the Company to sell up to an additional 2.5 million shares to the Redmond Fund, in installments of between $500,000 and $1 million, for up to a maximum of $3.75 million, although the actual amount will depend on market prices at the time of each installment. The Company would also issue to the Redmond Fund additional two-year warrants to acquire the same number of shares at a price equal to 133% of the issuance price. The agreement provides the Redmond Fund with certain rights to require the Company to register all such shares issued with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Joe Boyle, Affinity’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The agreement with Redmond is a solid first step toward increasing our working capital position. We have been and will continue to evaluate capital raising alternatives with a variety of investors.
