IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2006--Island Pacific, Inc. (Pink Sheets:IPIN), a global leader in retail POS and merchandising system software, announced today the beta release and implementation of Retail Pro(R) Version 9.1. This highly anticipated version of Island Pacific's Retail Pro(R) software is currently being installed in various retail locations; with the first being Huggable Me, a high-end boutique specializing in clothing, accessories, furniture and toys for infants and toddlers, in Elk Grove, CA.


Retail Pro(R) Version 9.1 is the most significant advancement in Island Pacific's industry leading POS system in nearly two years and contains many new features and functionality. Version 9.1 was developed from requests made across the entire Retail Pro(R) customer base. These requests were driven by the end user and industry proven best practices.

"We are committed to providing our customers the latest functionality and best business processes to fit their changing needs," says Darren Williams, COO of Island Pacific, Inc. "While in active beta use, we are able to 'kick the tires' with version 9.1 to ensure new features and functionality meet our expectations and those of our customer base."

Retail Pro(R) Version 9.1 introduces Retail Pro's powerful point of sale features and enhancements to the improved Version 9 series database and includes the integration of payment authorization services directly into Retail Pro(R). Also, Version 9.1 is more easily configured to work with specific hardware devices used at the point of sale.

"We especially like this new version of Retail Pro(R) for its ease of use, flexibility, open database and reports," said Megan Enos of Huggable Me. "We knew of Retail Pro's reputation for high reliability and have been very impressed with the quality and robust feature set of the product. We chose Retail Pro over Microsoft's Retail Management System, and it really works well."

Other exciting features new to Version 9.1 include:

-- Improved Receipt functionality for greater detailed customer data capture, enhanced customer purchase tracking, improved tendering for smoother transactions, gift receipts and more.
