    BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 2005--Lightbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTBG), a leading analytics, decisioning and e-commerce company, today announced a major release of its Enhanced Decision Management (EDM) platform. This release is one in a series which the Company believes will significantly advance Lightbridge's CAS platform and capabilities.

    Enhanced Decision Management is designed to:

--	Combine technology, dynamic workflow, predictive analytics, business process management and rules management into a unified platform for decision management across an enterprise.
--	Provide access to a wide range of internal and 3rd party data sources from a single integrated platform.
--	Leverage advanced and proven technology and tools to streamline the decision management process.
--	Provide tools that allow the business user to manage the entire decision process from visualization of the decision flow, structuring rules sets, and introduction of data and models to the deployment of strategies to parallel, simulation and production environments.

    Offered on an ASP basis, EDM is an integrated real-time decision management system that allows lenders and service providers to capture decision data, integrate this information into one cohesive process, apply complex business rules, make decisions and analyze results, quickly, easily and seamlessly. The EDM technology is designed to simplify data source and third party implementations, significantly reducing the time and effort required to integrate them into the decisioning process. EDM leverages some of the latest technologies and solution offerings including real-time access to decision data, visualization modeling, business process management, rules management, decisioning simulations, and parallel decision verification.
    Included in this platform release is the introduction of Lightbridge's Strategy Management Workbench that provides lenders and service providers with a user friendly web application for self management of the decision process. Later in 2005, this offering will allow clients to self manage the decision process including the introduction of existing data sources, business rule sets, decision tables, decisioning workflow and strategy deployment.
