Business Editors/Automotive Writers

NEW YORK & TUNBRIDGE WELLS, UK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2004

Auto Data Network Inc. (OTCBB: ADNW), a provider of software and real-time data services to the automotive industry, today announced that they have agreed Heads of Agreement to acquire IFAct, LTD, a specialist in regulatory requirements of the General Insurance Standards Council, to support its new range of insurance related services to United Kingdom auto dealerships.

IFAct is one of the leading compliance consultancy practices in the United Kingdom specialising in providing expertise and support solutions on FSA regulation and compliance, and is one of a series of targeted acquisitions being made by Auto Data to extend its range of specialist services to dealership customers.

Auto Data Network's Chairman Chris Glover commented, "Insurance and financial services products are of great commercial value to our dealership customers. Research has demonstrated that income from these products represents approximately 35 percent of an average dealership's profit. The impending regulation of general insurance presents a real challenge to our clients to continue to offer these products in the future. The acquisition of IFAct will enable us to provide essential expertise and support to our customers in this complex area, and forwards our Group's investment in providing solutions that tackle real commercial issues."

"Motor dealership operators have expressed that presently there is no comparable service offering available to those who wish to continue to offer insurance services after January 14th 2005. We already have two manufacturers interested in using our service," Mr. Glover continued. "The combination of Auto Data's software and IFAct's services creates a unique union of high level expertise and skills, coupled with cost effective on-line compliance software solutions. UK regulation necessitate that insurance services are supported with a level of supervisory services that IFAct provides. Collectively, we will offer our customers a solution to protect and maintain their source of earnings from insurance and, equally important; enable them to continue to offer value-added services and alternative choices to their clients."
