Auto Data Network's Subsidiary Launches Complete Insurance and Compliance Solution for the UK Motor Trade

NEW YORK, NY & TUNBRIDGE WELLS, UK--Feb. 2, 20047, 2004--Auto Data Network Inc. (OTCBB: ADNW), a provider of software and real-time data services to the automotive industry, today announced that its subsidiary, County Services plans to launch its new Insurance & Compliance solution, Auto Network UK, at an industry debate it is hosting on March 9 at the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders headquarters in London. The debate, which will focus on the impact of the incoming EU Insurance Mediation Directive that becomes law in January 2005, will be chaired by UK Motoring Celebrity, Quentin Willson, and include a panel of representatives from the automotive industry organizations and the regulator, the FSA.

Following the recent acquisition of Ifact Auto Data Network's subsidiary, County Services, has extensive expertise in both auto industry regulatory compliance and financial services. Its new offering, Auto Network UK, was designed to provide practical and affordable answers to achieving and maintaining compliance with the forthcoming new regulations on the sale of insurance products.

County Services offers a unique, nationwide, end-to-end solution that guides dealers through option choices to process support. It also assists dealers through the process of seeking direct authorization and provides an alternative to direct authorization through its Auto Network UK membership program.

Mike Millard, who heads up Auto Network UK says, "Vehicle retailers and manufacturers earn a sizeable proportion of their income through the sale of insurance and other financial products. Beginning January 14, 2005, it will be considered a criminal offence to either sell, advise on or provide administration of insurance products - whether motor insurance, warranty, GAP or payment protection - without authorization from the Financial Services Authority." "Our initial research indicates that this new market represents a $50 million opportunity in terms of compliance services, consultancy and training. The new EU Regulations will closely regulate the selling of insurance products by the UK motor trade," Mr. Millard added. "The stark fact is that the authorization clock is ticking, and those failing to submit applications before July 2004 are likely to miss the deadline."
