                                  Bank, Agent

HERNDON, VA - September 26, 2005 - ePlus inc. (Nasdaq NM: PLUS - news) a leading
provider of Enterprise  Cost Management  solutions,  announced today that it has
terminated its existing $45 million credit facility,  and simultaneously entered
into a new, coterminus,  $35 million credit facility. The new, two-bank facility
includes current participants  National City Bank, which will continue as Agent,
and Branch Banking and Trust Company ("BB&T").  National City Bank has increased
its commitment to $20 million from $15 million, and BB&T has continued to commit
$15 million to the facility.

Kleyton L.  Parkhurst,  ePlus'  treasurer,  stated  "With  strong  cash flow and
profitability  over the past few years,  we've had very little  borrowing in the
old facility.  In anticipation of renewing the credit facility next year, and to
make it as attractive as possible in the bank syndication  market, we decided to
reduce  the  size of the  facility.  We  believe  the new  facility  is sized to
accommodate  our business as well as allow us to syndicate  the loan on the most
favorable  terms  available.  We  appreciate  the  continued  strong  support of
National  City Bank and BB&T,  which have been,  and will  continue to be, great
bankers to ePlus."
