Optical Systems, Inc. Launches All-New Finance Manager Program in 17 Dealerships

New BDC program is designed to generate additional revenue for automotive dealerships across the United States

HOUSTON, Aug. 24 -- Automotive Software Designers, Inc. (ASDI), a leading provider of software and services for the automotive retail industry, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Optical Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: OPSY), today announced the addition of 17 dealerships to its all new Finance Manager program.

"We believe our Finance Manager program will have a fit in 95 percent of the 26,000 automotive dealerships and 7,000 recreational vehicle dealerships in the United States," said B.J. Grisaffi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Optical Systems, Inc. "Over the past several weeks we have launched several new BDC initiatives including our Sales Manager and Service Manager programs, and have achieved key milestones in our growth including beginning the process to become a fully reporting company. The new Finance Manager program is another step in the right direction for Optical Systems and our shareholders."

The BDC Finance Manager program utilizes the Company's cutting-edge remoteCSR program to survey a dealership's customers on their buying experience, and assesses customers' needs for an extended service contract, or aftermarket protection including tire and wheel road hazard protection, cracked windshield protection and/or dent protection for the vehicle they purchased. Products and services are specifically matched to customers based on their responses to survey questions, allowing for higher conversion rates.

All inquiries are made by ASDI's knowledgeable and professional Finance Manager remoteCSRs, and relate directly to the paperwork and financing of a customer's vehicle, ensuring that a customer is asked relevant questions at timely opportunities. All calls are made in the name of a dealership's finance manager and appointments are set in their name.

Patterson Chrysler Jeep in Kilgore, TX, Victory Honda in Victoria, TX, North Texas Nissan in Dallas, TX, and Greg May Honda in Waco, TX are among the first 17 dealerships to enroll in the company's all-new Finance Manager BDC program.

"Dealerships today need to reduce costs, strengthen customer relationships, and most importantly increase profitability," said Grisaffi. "Our Finance Manager program helps dealerships achieve those goals."
