Business Wire
AutoMart-China (www.AutoMart-China.com), the largest independent
auto aftermarket company in Beijing and a 95% owned subsidiary of
Deep Field Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: DPFD), announced today that
it has signed contracts with two more insurance companies and added
four new insurance evaluation centers co-located at its facilities.
AutoMart said it signed contracts with Bohai Property Insurance
Co., Ltd., and Tian�an Insurance Co., Ltd., the eighth and ninth
companies with whom it has agreements, to provide damage evaluation
and make coverage decisions at the its maintenance and repair
centers, where the repairs will be completed. Bohai Property
Insurance is a leading auto insurance company with 10% market
share, 200,000 customers, and annual premium revenue over 1 billion
RMB, and expects to reach 1.5 billion RMB in revenue and 300,000
customers by the end of 2007. Tian�an Insurance Co. currently
serves some 150,000 customers and has revenues of 800 million RMB,
and anticipates doubling its business in 2007 to approximately 2
billion RMB and 300,000 customers. Auto-Mart Chairman and CEO
Guisan Pang cited the new contracts and evaluation centers as
�central to our business model. By working directly with insurance
companies and co-locating evaluation centers, we are in the best
position to attract and conduct business repairing cars via, which
is our core business.� Mr. Pang said �a very significant portion�
of AutoMart�s revenues come from insurance companies whose
policyholders receive services at AutoMart centers. He said
AutoMart currently has receivables of more than $3.5 million (U.S.)
from insurance companies. The rapid growth in this segment over a
short period, along with inconsistencies in claim processing and
collection, have necessitated that AutoMart account for revenues on
a cash basis rather than an accrued basis, which it historically
employed, causing a delay in the filing of its Form 10-KSB.
