Business/Technology Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 2000

ARS Networks Inc. (OTC BB: ARSN), whose first product is a state-of-the-art advance warning system for railway crossings, today announced that it has filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2000.

For the three months ended July 31, 2000 the Company reported a net loss of $304,578.00, or ($0.03) per share, compared to a net loss of $70,830.00, or ($0.01) per share for the same period in 1999. For the six month period ending July 31, 2000 the Company reported a per share loss of $0.06, compared to a per share loss of $0.01 for the same six month period in 1999.

Sydney Harland, president and chief executive officer of ARS Networks, commented, "Because we're still in the development stage of our product, Crosslogix(TM), we have not yet begun to generate revenues from sales. However, we are planning to bring Crosslogix to market in 2001 and have already received substantial indications of interest from a variety of public and private rail systems who recognize that our product meets the need for a safe, effective, wireless means of communicating information along railways, and in other applications."

Harland continued, "In addition to the imminent commercialization of Crosslogix, our recent acquisition of T&T Diesel provides an immediate source of revenue to ARS Networks. As our wholly-owned subsidiary, T&T has already added $400,000 to our revenues through a contract with Bell Canada, and will continue to support the Company's growth towards profitability."

ARS Networks Inc. is a wireless communications technology company that designs, develops and commercializes safe, cost-effective, and reliable systems for the railway industry using patent-pending, remote sensing equipment. Its systems feature an open architecture platform that offers railways and their freight customers unrivalled abilities to address public safety at level crossings, track cargo, communicate with dispatchers and shorten delivery times. The company's platform provides a portal for a multitude of applications in real-time data collection, processing, monitoring and information analysis tailored for the railway industry.

The ARS Crosslogix(TM) system, unlike current systems, can operate as a stand-alone, independent of local power. Conventional system suppliers often have to pull in power lines to support their systems from as far as two miles away, which makes installation of crossings both more expensive and more difficult.
