HONG KONG, February 10, 2003 - Basis Point Publishing Limited, a subsidiary of Loan Pricing Corporation (LPC), an authoritative source of primary loan market information in the Asia-Pacific market, today announced the launch of its new DealScan loan market database for Asia-Pacific users. The product contains a dedicated Asia-Pacific user interface with unique features and functionality, search capabilities and reports designed to meet the needs of this diverse market. DealScan is the most comprehensive, reliable and actionable source for locating current and historical loan and bond data on over 131,000 global transactions with more than 30,000 Asia-Pacific facilities dating back to the mid-1980's. This information is available via an easy to use and intuitive web-based interface and includes over 200 search fields.

The introduction of an Asia-Pacific DealScan interface completes a year-long effort by Basis Point to bring clarity and transparency to this market. Over the past year Basis Point has worked hard to bring real-time loan market news to the region through their online LoanConnector platform; added, updated and improved analytics available via LoanConnector and the Basis Point publication; and launched an Advanced Search tool to provide users with access to deal information. DealScan's Asia-Pacific interface builds upon the Advanced Search offering by including one click access to reports and company news, daily updates through the web, an online help system, and a simple to understand menu and classification system which enables quicker and easier searching. Now users in Asia-Pacific have the one-stop global loan database they need to compete effectively in their market.
