| | | Hello Why and how has NSE strengthened and developed its European coverage? The global offer For more than 20 years, NSE Services has developed by basing its strategy on a centralised global offer: - customer interface – logistics – repair. This strategy has rapidly extended to Southern Europe and the aim is to cover the whole of Europe. Today, two new and important stages have been completed with: A partnership agreement with ComBase for Northern Europe Although it has been present in Germany for more than a year, NSE Services has made further progress by approaching ComBase (see press communication below), with two aims: - Ensure that all NSEs services are available for Germany, Austria and Scandinavia. - Be capable of offering a new capacity for both logistics and repair with more than 55 000 interventions per month. This is to cater to volumes linked to the request of our larger customers for a centralised solution Coverage of Central Europe Using our Budapest site as a starting point, we have just set up: - A second call center in order to cover Polish, Czech, Slovakian and Slovenian, with the target being to cover all the languages of the PECO countries - An intervention service on the distribution or end customer sites in these countries with collection and delivery after repair, for computing and general electronic goods With our customers and future customers we hope to continue this development, based on the principal of one unique contact point, covering the whole of Europe.

NSE provides support services in France and South-Europe. The goal of this partnership is the possibility to develop their respective portfolio of services in Europe and a close co-operation for concrete business offers. With this new agreement both companies aim to abolish the geographical barriers, regrouping their service portfolio for logistics, repairs and customer support. This teamwork allows technical support in all the following domains: electronics, Information Technology, telecommunications and consumer electronics.

The company operates in Vichy with a multilingual call-center - eight foreign languages- and a logistics and repair center. G2S, a subsidiary of NSE, based in Grenoble (France), is specialized in repairing LCD and PDP Displays and overhauling single components of computer mainboards. Thanks to an own repair center in Budapest NSE is able to propose inexpensive repair services. |  | ComBase, based in Karlstein by Frankfurt, is an established provider of logistics and services for electrical and electro-technical products, with a main focus on the industries of telecommunication, Information Technology and consumer electronics. The whole service-portfolio includes a wide range of services from pre-sales marketing services till after-sales and customer-care services incl. the destruction of old equipment.

| | I am currently responsible for customer care in Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and German-speaking countries. My role is to identify customers within the IT and consumer electronics market, analyse their needs and then design, develop and if necessary, implement an appropriate service concept. Since January I have been actively involved in the process of expanding NSE Services. I have an excellent knowledge of the industry and its customers due to my technical and business training background as well as 15 years experience in marketing, sales and customer service in IT and consumer electronics. Our goal is for NSE to expand its warranty services within Middle and Eastern European regions in order to be able to offer Europe-wide service concepts. For the last two years we have been focusing on the new European Union member states and I am now delighted to be in a position to offer our customers comprehensive Europe-wide warranty fulfilment.

| | | The Evry site is developing within NSE repair activity on cash dispensing and electronic banking products for distribution, transport, banking and security. Besides these repairs, we are also developing logistics activities, by managing on behalf of our partners their stocks and orders from their customers, from answering the incoming calls up until the delivery of the products In a similar way we are also a depot and transit centre for the NSE Services group. From Evry we can receive or despatch products to internal or external repair centres in France or in Europe Evry’s location is ideal for collection and delivery in the Paris area. Not only is it on a crossroads of the A6 motorway and the ‘Francilienne’, but we are also in an industrial area with logistic centres at a European level. Acting as a depot, we can deal with products arriving via courier and products dropped off by private customers or companies. Our partners can offer customers the use of our reception service. We are developing our partnerships by prioritising a close service in the realm of repair and logistics.
