Sydney, Australia, 26 April 2017: Veriluma (ASX: VRI), a leading Australian prescriptive analytics company, today announced its expansion into the United States through a partnership with US-based Diamond Capture Associates, LLC. As a result, Veriluma and Diamond Capture will be able to respond to tenders from the US Federal Government, focusing on the national security and law enforcement markets.

Diamond Capture Associates is a US-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions integrator focused on fraud detection and authentication, advanced analytics, enterprise solutions, cyber security and mobile security and business intelligence. Using big data analytics, Diamond Capture works closely with the US Federal Government on a number of national security issues including national security, counter-terrorism and fraud detection.

The partnership was developed by Veriluma's Global Vice President of Public Safety, Mark Carrick, who was a former Commander of NSW Police Force Counter Terrorism Intelligence, Diamond Capture's President, Bailey Spencer and renowned former Special Agent and national security expert John Cassara. With 26 years' experience working in the US Federal Government intelligence and law enforcement communities, Cassara is considered an expert in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. Cassara and Spencer's networks and understanding of the sector ensures that technological solutions, such as those provided by Veriluma, are presented to those with decision-making powers in the US Federal Government as they look to fight money laundering and terrorism.

With the threat of global terrorism growing and the increasing complexities involved in identifying and disabling terrorism financing, there is an increasing need for prescriptive analytics technology to

support governments in identifying, understanding and mitigating this complex threat environment and developing tactical and strategic decisions.

Commenting on the partnership agreement Veriluma's CEO, Elizabeth Whitelock, says the prescriptive analytics firm is thrilled to be moving into the US Federal Government sector through this new partnership. "Our partnership with Diamond Capture and John has opened up exciting opportunities for Veriluma in the US market. Through previous shared projects, they have tested the market and its willingness to deploy solutions like ours in US Federal Government projects, allowing for easier penetration of the market."

"The deal will help US Government departments to use prescriptive analytics to make better decisions when working through complex national security and counter-terrorism issues. This is a natural progression from our Australian Defence Force intelligence roots. Through our unique public safety portfolio, we will leverage access to the US Federal Government that Diamond Capture provides."

Bailey Spencer, President of Diamond Capture, "We are pleased to be partnering with Veriluma to bring the power of prescriptive analytics to the US national security sector. Given the major threat of global terrorism and the complexity of identifying and disabling the financial networks that support terrorism, we see enormous opportunity for Veriluma to support decision-makers in developing anti- terrorism policies."
