Commenting on the acquisition, NEXIQ Chairman and CEO, John Allard, said, "The addition of DSI to NEXIQ builds on our unique competitive advantage in the transportation diagnostics and telematics world. For the past 20 years, NEXIQ's MPSI team has led the heavy-duty vehicle diagnostics tools (hardware and software) market with innovative products and superb customer understanding. Over that period, we have obtained more approvals for access to commercial vehicle OEM data than any other company in the world."

Allard continued, "With DSI resources in place, we now have the proven software engineering and management resources to continue aggressively developing a wide range of innovative new products for the fast-growing facilities-based diagnostics business. And, we further strengthen our ability to continue leading the industry in the development and ASP deployment of vehicle-based telematics for commercial vehicles.

"On the product side," Allard added, "DSI brings us two additional and successful software products - In-Vehicle Information System (IVIS) and Electronic Proof Of Delivery (ePOD). These products will add significantly to our revenue, beginning immediately. They also give us entry to related market sectors we have targeted for aggressive penetration - automotive telematics, pick-up and delivery-based transportation companies. NEXIQ and DSI have strong, complementary relationships with vehicle and component OEMs, fleet operators and vehicle leasing firms. Our integration under NEXIQ allows us to provide customers with a more comprehensive range of facilities- and vehicle-based products and services, beginning immediately."

About Diversified Software Industries

DSI (www.dsi-inc.net), founded in 1996, is focused on developing interactive computer software solutions. These solutions include IVIS, a software framework that enables vehicle manufacturers to integrate, test and maintain on-board information and display systems and, it includes the Company's ePOD system, which gives "pick up and electronic proof of delivery" companies instant delivery and reporting verification capabilities. While the Company's main source of revenue to date has been from software development and consulting engagements, sales of these two software solutions are beginning to contribute to accelerated revenue growth.

DSI launched its IVIS product at the Convergence 2000 Conference in Detroit, Mich. Since then, IVIS has attracted the attention of nearly all the automotive OEMs and top-tier suppliers in North America and Europe. The Company is working aggressively with several of these organizations on early adaptive programs and expects a vehicle platform launch as early as 2003. Initial customer results show significant time and cost reduction in developing in-vehicle applications. They also demonstrate a major improvement in the way these applications are deployed. The IVIS system allows for easy integration of multiple applications and peripheral devices into a single cohesive vehicle system. The IVIS software is platform and OS independent, allowing easily portable systems to be designed and developed.
