Logica Holdings Says It is the Only Company With Unique Biometric Technology to
Thwart Online Predators

TORONTO, Jan. 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Logica Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:LGHL)
announced today that it believes it is the only company to currently offer a
proprietary state-of-the-art biometric technology enrollment and validation
system for underage users of social networking sites to help prevent sexual
predators from using these sites to contact children.

Following an agreement announced yesterday with MySpace and more than 45 states
to add protections and look at new technologies including age verification to
prevent sexual predators and others from misusing the site, Logica intends to
approach MySpace and other social networking sites with its unique solution.

Logica's technology incorporating biometric technology in the form of a
fingerprint reader, developed along with its partners Novell, Fujitsu and 123ID,
is currently being employed in Logica's new web site Annesdiary.com, the world's
first secure social networking site for girls ages 6-14. The site, which was
launched in November, is based on the novel Anne of Green Gables and is seeing
increasing enrollment as girls and parents around the world are seeking a safe
website for establishing friendships within a secure online community.

"Logica is the first and only company with safety measures in place so we are
very eager to discuss with MySpace on how we might work together to insure that
young people who visit these sites do so in a safe and secure environment," said
Pino Baldassarre, Chief Executive Officer of Logica Holdings, Inc. "As our
technology is proven effective, we stand ready to help MySpace and other social
networking sites verify the authenticity of its users as we help make the world
safer from Internet predators, which is a very real and dangerous threat."

Emily Want, Chief Executive Officer of Logica's Anne's World subsidiary, noted
that Annesdiary.com is built from the ground up with a direct focus on security.
"This focus has been enhanced by our partnerships with Novell Technologies,
Fujitsu Limited and 123ID, which helps us make Annesdiary.com truly one of the
most secure and safest websites for children," Ms. Want said.

HOW ANNESDIARY.COM'S IDENTITY VERIFICATION WORKS

By utilizing Fujitsu's best in class sensors coupled with 123ID's Universal
Matching System (UMS) engine, both enrollment and authentication of user
fingerprints is done with precision and efficiency, significantly increasing the
matching rate, as well as maintaining a low false-positive rate. The utilization
of 123ID's UMS engine has allowed the ubiquity of using any reader to
authenticate and enroll with any biometric reader available, either standalone
or integrated, such as a built-in keyboard reader.

All communications between the user and the Annesdiary.com server are done
through an SSL tunnel similar to that used in financial transactions. In
addition, the site uses an "Extended Verification" certificate to further
increase security from the current phenomenon of phishing attacks.
