KYMCO USA Selects ARI's WarrantySmart(TM).

Expanded relationship with ARI supports KYMCO's growing business

MILWAUKEE -- ARI (OTCBB:ARIS), a leading provider of technology-enabled business solutions that help equipment dealers, distributors and manufacturers build sales and profits, today announced that KYMCO USA, of Inman, South Carolina, has expanded its relationship with ARI by licensing WarrantySmart[TM], ARI's web-based warranty claims and product registration processing solution. KYMCO USA is the exclusive importer and distributor of KYMCO brand scooters, motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles in the United States.

ARI's WarrantySmart enables dealers to streamline product registration and warranty claim submission and processing, as well as to check claim status online. Prior to the new agreement, KYMCO USA had deployed ARI's PartSmart([R]) electronic parts lookup catalog for use by its dealers throughout the U.S.

"We are experiencing rapid growth in our number of dealers and number of units sold in the U.S. In order to support this growth, it is imperative that we have the tools and infrastructure to support our dealer network," said Eric Bondy, president of KYMCO. "ARI proved to be a valuable partner during the implementation of PartSmart and has provided us with superior support as our needs have grown. As a result, when we made the decision to expand our dealer support technology to include a warranty and product registration processing solution, ARI was our best choice," added Bondy. "In addition, we believe that ARI's proven suite of products and services will continue to meet our needs in the future as we grow our business in the years ahead."

"We value KYMCO's business and look forward to expanding our relationship. ARI has the proven software and support that will enable KYMCO to successfully grow its dealer base," said Brian E. Dearing, chairman and chief executive officer of ARI. "WarrantySmart will also benefit KYMCO's dealers by increasing the accuracy and efficiency of the warranty claim process, resulting in faster turnaround times. WarrantySmart is one of our newer products and we look forward to providing KYMCO with the most up-to-date tools to support its growth in the Power Sports Industry."
