Auto Data Network Provides Update on Its Auditor

NEW YORK & TUNBRIDGE WELLS, England--May 23, 2005--Auto Data Network Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: ADNW), a provider of software and real-time data services to the worldwide automotive industry announced that on Friday (May 2, 20050, 2005) the Company issued an SEC Form 8-K in relation to the status of the Company's financial statements and its independent auditor's registration application with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB").

Chairman and CEO Chris Glover stated, "The 8-K filed made reference to the previously stated fact that if F.E. Hanson Ltd.'s application with the PCAOB does not get approved, we will have to re-audit the company's financial statements. That being said, as all of our underlying subsidiaries currently have separate independent auditors; we are confident there will not be any re-statements of previous financial results are a result of a re-audit."

Mr. Glover continued, "This is an unfortunate incident that we are in the process of rectifying. As previously stated, Hanson has been a registered auditor in good standing for over 30 years and it is regrettable that he is not currently compliant with the PCAOB, although he is still a registered auditor."

"As a company with operations mainly in the UK and subsidiaries that have mostly been acquired, we currently and always have had separate auditors for all of our underlying subsidiaries. Our only US subsidiary, Car Parts, is separately audited by a PCAOB approved independent accounting firm," Mr. Glover concluded. "While waiting for Hanson's hearing with the PCAOB to take place, our other independent accountants have been auditing the underlying subsidiaries year-end financial results, so that we will be ready to replace Hanson in a timely fashion and get the company current with its SEC reporting requirements."
