AppOne Initiates Online Dealer Bootcamp; Program Educates Independent Auto Dealers on Accessing Lenders Through AppOne Platform

BATON ROUGE, La.--June 28, 2006--AppOne, a provider of Internet-based risk mitigation and financial technology to banks, credit unions and independent auto dealers throughout the continental United States, has developed its Dealer Bootcamp to train dealers to use the AppOne platform, which connects them to AppOne's network of lenders.

The Dealer Bootcamp, created as part of the national rollout of AppOne's platform, occurs on Thursdays and is run through the company's Web site at www.appone.net. The training uses a conference call line and a Q&A session and focuses on how independent auto dealers can access the site, stay in compliance when facilitating loans and quickly and efficiently submit potential loans through AppOne's online platform. The Dealer Bootcamp also serves as a forum for continuing education for independent auto dealers already in AppOne's dealer network, where they can learn about technology upgrades and new lenders available through AppOne.

The AppOne system serves as the bridge connecting independent auto dealers to a network of lenders. In addition to lender access, the system automates the printing of the finance contract, ensuring compliance with all regulations for auto lending.

"The Dealer Bootcamp is an example of our commitment to educating those within our network of dealers," said Lee Domingue, CEO of AppOne. "This training offers participating independent auto dealers a tool for differentiating themselves from competition by offering car buyers a wider variety of financial products."
