(NASDAQ:CACANASDAQ:CACAWNASDAQ:CACAU) ("Chardan") today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to enter into a business combination with DAL Group, LLC ("DAL"), which, following the closing, will be one of the largest providers of mortgage processing services in Florida. At the closing of the business combination with Chardan, DAL will own 100% of the business and operations of Default Servicing, Inc. ("DSI") and Professional Title & Abstract Company of Florida ("PTA") and the non-legal operations supporting the foreclosure and other legal proceedings handled by the Law Offices of David J. Stern, P.A. ("DJS") (collectively referred to as the "Company"). Upon consummation of the transaction, Chardan will change its name to DJSP Enterprises, Inc. ("DJSP"), and its stock is expected to continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbols DJSP, DJSPU, and DJSPW. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the acquisition agreement by holders of a majority of Chardan's outstanding ordinary shares. Business Overview Following the closing of the business combination, DJSP will be one of the largest providers of processing services for the mortgage and real estate industries in Florida and one of the largest in the United States. The Company provides a wide range of processing services in connection with mortgages, mortgage defaults, title searches and abstracts, REO (bank-owned) properties, loan modifications, title insurance, loss mitigation, bankruptcy, related litigation and other services. DJS's clients include all of the top 10 and 17 of the top 20 mortgage servicers in the United States, many of which have been customers of DJS for more than 10 years. The Company has approximately 1000 employees and is headquartered in Plantation, Florida, with additional operations in Louisville, Kentucky and San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition, the Company's U.S. operations are supported by a scalable, low-cost back office operation in Manila, the Philippines that provides data entry and document preparation support at a low cost. The Company has experienced rapid growth over the past four years, increasing revenues from approximately $40 million in 2006 to approximately $199 million in 2008, while increasing net income, on a pro forma basis, for the same two periods from approximately $7 million to approximately $39 million. The Company had revenues of approximately $117 million for the 6 months ended June 30, 2009 and an adjusted pro forma net income for that period of $22 million, signaling continued growth. DJSP's principal market, Florida, currently ranks second among the 50 states in the number of mortgage loan foreclosures according to September 2009 data from the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA"). According to RealtyTrac, 8 of the top 25 U.S. metropolitan areas ranked by foreclosure rates in the second quarter of 2009 were in Florida. The Company has invested heavily in its infrastructure and state-of-the-art information technology systems in recent years, enabling it to manage effectively and efficiently the large volumes of data it needs to meet its customers' needs. The Company's highly skilled staff, scalable proprietary processes and more than decade long experience in large-scale, efficient processing services has uniquely positioned the Company to capitalize on the rapidly increasing demand for efficient loan default processing services as a result of the historically unprecedented default volumes DJSP Outlook and Strategy Mr. Kerry Propper, Chardan's CEO, commented that, "We are thrilled to be combining with DAL. As one of the largest providers of processing services to mortgage lenders in Florida, and with its plan to expand its cyclical business segments and enter new geographic areas in the near term, this business combination represents a phenomenal opportunity for Chardan. The acquisition should generate significant value for our shareholders. David J. Stern, who will be DJSP's CEO, has an impressive record building this business by continually strengthening the customer relationships on which it is based. After almost a year of interaction, we are continually more impressed with his exceptional management team and are convinced that they will be able to continue to capitalize on the market opportunities available to DJSP." Mr. Propper further commented that "Chardan is very pleased to have found a merger target of this caliber. It is both well-positioned as a leader in its industry and has a strong fundamental outlook. We agree with forecasts that mortgage default levels will remain elevated for the next several years. The upcoming option ARM loan resets, combined with a generally overleveraged population, continuing stagnation in real estate values, and persistent high unemployment will lead to sustained high levels of mortgage defaults. The November Mortgage Monitor Report, released by Lender Processing Services, reveals significant nationwide loan deterioration and indicates that for every 1 loan that improved, more than 3 loans have deteriorated. The report also revealed that Florida leads the nation in delinquencies and foreclosure rate, now approximating 23%." Mr. David J. Stern commented, "I am very excited about becoming the CEO of a NASDAQ-listed company. This will enable us to leverage our well-developed platform and decade-long experience to capitalize on the increasing business opportunities we have at hand. Today, approximately one in seven households with mortgages in the United States is behind on mortgage payments or is in foreclosure, up from one in ten households a year ago. In addition, about 25% of residential mortgage loans in the U.S. are currently "under water," with homeowners owing more on their mortgage loan than their home is worth. We believe this trend will persist as other macro-economic trends, such as high unemployment, ongoing option ARM resets and high levels of consumer debt will continue to hinder the ability of homeowners to meet their mortgage obligations. We believe that home prices will remain near current depressed levels for at least the next few years and that foreclosure rates will remain at historically high levels for years to come." Mr. Stern continued, "We anticipate that our growth will come from a number of areas. First, we anticipate a significant increase in business next year from services related to REO (bank owned) properties. This business involves helping banks dispose of properties that they have come to own through foreclosure. In 2008 and 2009 we provided REO processing services to only one client, but we have begun actively marketing this service to other clients. As a result, we expect meaningful increases from this portion of our business to occur in 2010 and beyond." "Second, we expect growth in foreclosure file volumes in Florida due to declining home values, high unemployment rates and the forthcoming upward resets of adjustable rate mortgages. In addition, we believe the Company is well positioned to capitalize on the expanding loan modification efforts. As a large-scale operation, we plan to leverage our experience in mortgage default operations across multiple states and assist with broad loan modification efforts nationally." "Third, many of DJS's customers, which include the top mortgage servicers in the United States, have expressed a preference to use fewer firms to handle their foreclosure files. We expect this will result in our being able to increase our market share substantially." "We are also planning to leverage our existing platform and customer base to expand geographically and to increase our service offerings to include additional ancillary revenue generating services. And finally, we are planning to add cyclical business lines such as mortgage origination processing services, other consumer lending services, and legal process outsourcing to our repertoire, all of which will further enhance our growth in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this press release are unaudited and do not conform to the SEC's Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, CACA's proxy statement to solicit stockholder approval for the proposed acquisition. This press release includes certain estimated financial information and forecasts presented as pro forma financial measures that are not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and which may be deemed to be non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. CACA and management of the acquired business believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures serve to enhance the understanding of the financial performance of acquired business and the proposed acquisition. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled pro forma measures reported by other companies. The Non-GAAP measures used herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Such measures are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP, and should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, or superior to, operating income, cash flows, revenues, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such measures are not a completely representative measure of either the historical performance or, necessarily, the future potential of DJSP. Adjusted EBITDA The adjusted EBITDA measure presented consists of income (loss) from continuing operations before (a) interest expense, net; (b) income tax expense; (c) depreciation and amortization; and (d) non-recurring income and/or expense. The adjusted EBITDA margin is the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to total revenues. The Company is providing adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, along with GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because adjusted EBITDA helps the Company to evaluate and compare its performance on a consistent basis with the lower operating cost structure that will be in place after consummation of the Transaction. In the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes from expenses the compensation paid to the Company's Founder that exceeds the base compensation that he will be entitled to receive after completion of the Transaction, as well as the payroll taxes associated with such compensation, non-recurring travel expenses incurred on behalf of the Founder and other benefits received in prior periods that will not be permitted in following the closing of the Transaction. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that has limitations because it does not include all items of income and expense that affect the operations of the Company. In addition, it should be noted that companies calculate adjusted EBITDA differently and, therefore, adjusted EBITDA as presented for us may not be comparable to the calculations of adjusted EBITDA reported by other companies. Adjusted Net Income - The Company is providing adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, along with GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because adjusted Net Income helps the Company to evaluate and compare its past performance on a consistent basis with the taxable structure that will be in place after consummation of the transaction, reflecting the effects of that taxable structure on profitability. In the calculation of adjusted Net Income, the Company deducts the Depreciation and Amortization amounts to the Adjusted EBITDA calculation and then subtracts the income tax expense, calculated at the expected 'going forward' tax rate of 35% from such figure. 6 Months Ended -------------- 30-Jun-09 --------- Net Income $27,454,842 Adjustment Adj. to Fee to Processing 1,041,439 Officers' Salaries 2,170,000 Non-Recurring Travel 1,457,057 Other Non-Recurring Salary & Benefits 1,627,846 Payroll Tax 23,170 Depreciation & Amortization 510,156 Other Income (Expense) - --- Total Adjustments 6,829,668 Pro-Forma EBITDA $34,284,510 ================ =========== Adjustments to Reconcile Pro- Forma Net Income Depreciation & Amortization 510,156 Other Income (Expense) Tax (Estimated at 35%) 11,821,024 ---------- Total Adjustments 12,331,180 Pro-Forma Net Income $21,953,330 ==================== =========== Years Ended December 31, ------------------------ 2008 2007 2006 ---- ---- ---- Net Income $42,886,351 $38,688,840 $8,578,571 Adjustment Adj. to Fee to Processing - - - Officers' Salaries 12,640,000 4,415,000 2,890,000 Non-Recurring Travel 384,364 - - Other Non-Recurring Salary & Benefits 4,360,555 294,931 -431,500 Payroll Tax 46,415 - - Depreciation & Amortization 594,156 277,926 197,111 Other Income (Expense) 31,677 16,328 - ------ ------ --- Total Adjustments 17,993,813 4,971,529 2,655,611 Pro-Forma EBITDA $60,880,164 $43,660,369 $11,234,182 ================ =========== =========== =========== Adjustments to Reconcile Pro- Forma Net Income Depreciation & Amortization 594,156 277,926 197,111 Other Income (Expense) 31,677 16,328 Tax (Estimated at 35%) 21,111,190 15,189,570 3,862,975 ---------- ---------- --------- Total Adjustments 21,673,669 15,451,168 4,060,086 Pro-Forma Net Income $39,206,495 $28,209,201 $7,174,096 ==================== =========== =========== ========== DJS Processing Division and its Combined Affiliates (A Division of The Law offices of David J.
