Singapore, May 15, 2002

Fujitsu Asia Pte Ltd., a leading internet/telco technology infrastructure developer and Y3 Technologies Pte Ltd (Y3), home-grown logistics supply chain solutions provider, today announced the formation of a strategic alliance to develop mobile applications for managing and authenticating the transaction events along the supply chain in real-time.

The partnership between the two innovative leaders in their respective fields brings together the critical expertise of two distinct yet fundamentally vital knowledge-based domains - that of Mobile Technologies Infrastructure and Suppl ychain™ Management Solutions. Fujitsu Asia will provide the know-how in relevant technologies and the setup of appropriate infrastructure for Mobile Application Services, in areas such as security and interfacing of mobile technologies used by the various mobile network operators. Y3 will provide its proprietary domain knowledge in the applications of end-to-end Suppl ychain™ Management Solutions, where mobile transactions and wireless application could be adopted to enhance the efficiencies in the business processes within supply chains. The inaugural project of the FAPL/Y3 consortium will be the development of an Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD*) for Mobile Supply Chain Transactions.

Mr Chng Teo Hye, Group Chairman and Co-CEO of Fujitsu Asia, said "By partnering with a renowned supplychain innovator like Y3, we are assured of developing cutting-edge business-driven mobile applications that deliver real value to clients and enable them to achieve sustainable competitive advantages."

Dr Robert Yap, Chairman of Y3, said "I strongly believe that this partnership with Fujitsu Asia will propel high standards of wireless applications. The pioneering innovation and leading-edge R&D that Fujitsu and Y3 brings to the table will enhance the security and efficiency of mobile transactions that can be readily adopted."

Mr Chng and Dr Yap also mentioned that the climate for innovation in Singapore is very encouraging and that the partnership between Fujitsu Asia and Y3 is a direct result of the strong support and effective initiatives by the government bodies and statutory boards to bring together the synergies of value-creating organizations such as Fujitsu and Y3.
