AppOne Creates Product Marketplace; Platform Connects Third-Party Vendors to AppOne's Network of Auto Dealers

BATON ROUGE, La.--July 18, 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 created the AppOne Product Marketplace to provide access for third-party vendors to AppOne's growing network of dealers.

The Product Marketplace is an online forum for selling products associated with the sale of automobiles that is used by AppOne's Preferred Product Providers and its network of independent auto dealers. Participating vendors also have access to AppOne's network of financing sources.

The Product Marketplace features real-time technology integration, automated product enrollment, electronic pricing and quotes, and laser-printed forms. Because the Marketplace reaches AppOne's entire dealer network at once, vendors can achieve an immediate increase in product placements through a single point of access. Additionally, the Product Marketplace provides a single point of premium remittance, ensuring that vendors and dealers promptly receive all moneys due for the sale of products.

Dealers that use AppOne's platform have instant access to a broad array of products from AppOne's Preferred Product Providers. This system enables dealers to more effectively and efficiently offer value added products to their customers.

"AppOne remains neutral within the Product Marketplace," said Lee Domingue, CEO of AppOne. "While we do not endorse a particular product or product line, we found that our system provides a unique opportunity to assist in connecting our dealer and vendor partners."
