Auto Network UK Received 'Award of Excellence 2005' from the Institute of Transport Management.

NEW YORK & TUNBRIDGE WELLS, England -- Auto Data Network (OTC Pink Sheets: ADNW), a provider of software and real-time data services to the worldwide automotive industry, today announced that Auto Network UK, has been conferred with the prestigious 'Award of Excellence 2005' accreditation by The Institute of Transport Management (ITM). Auto Network UK is the specialist insurance and financial services subsidiary of Auto Data Network Inc. It provides a unique and flexible service to help every facet of the motor industry protect the valuable revenue opportunities of insurance sales. The decision to present Auto Network UK with this accreditation is the result of research conducted during the past 12 months on behalf of the ITM. Auto Network UK is the unanimous choice of the Awards Committee in the automotive industry area.

Announcing the Award, Patrick Sheedy, Media and PR Director of the Institute of Transport Management said, "On foot of its in-depth research it was clear, to the ITM awards committee, that Auto Network UK had made a significant contribution to the automotive industry, helping the motor retailers to adapt to a new environment of stringent legislation regarding the sales of insurance. And in recognition of this achievement the Award of Excellence 2005 has been conferred upon the organisation for their outstanding service in FSA compliance."

In order to better understand the impact that Auto Network UK has had on the industry it is important to understand the situation that was facing many motor retailers. In January 2005, new legislation stopped businesses offering insurance unless they either had direct authorisation from the FSA or are an appointed representative of an approved network. So for motor manufacturers with franchise dealers actively involved in selling or advising on insurance products and for independent motor retailers this created a dilemma on how the meet the needs of their clients, in an industry that has suffered increased competition on low levels of growth. This situation would not have just affected motor retailers alone - it was forecast by many analysts that any problems with the introduction of this new service could have had a drip down affect on the entire automotive industry from suppliers to manufacture, including many associated sectors.

Auto Network UK has met the challenges of this transition period head on, by offering a practical and affordable way of enabling motor retailers to continue selling insurance products without direct authorisation. They provide everything needed to maintain compliance, including all documentation, processes, procedures and training (including a training & competency software solution) - all tailored to the real business needs of motor retailers. This means they do not need to go through the complex application process and they will not need to report directly to the regulator. For manufacturers and dealers who do not want to lose the valuable revenue stream of Finance and Insurance products, Auto Network UK offers a complete solution specifically tailored for the automotive market.

Commenting on winning the award Stephanie Murdoch, Managing Director, Auto Network UK said, "We are delighted to have been accredited with this prestigious Award of Excellence. FSA regulations have had a major impact on the automotive industry. As an FSA authorised network, founded by professionals with many years general insurance, motor and regulatory experience, we were able to offer an effective solution that ensures motor retailers have the choice of selling almost every insurance product on the market and therefore, reap the profit benefits."
