Press Release Summary: YASH, a SAP implementation Partner provides cost effective
suite of REACH Compliance Solutions and services for its Smooth and Rapid
Implementation.

Press Release Body: East Moline, IL and Indore, India (September 30, 2008) - With
the pre-registration deadline of December 1, 2008 quickly approaching for the
European Union's new regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and
Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), organizations are seeking solutions and assistance
from partners to handle the complexity of adhering to this new regulation. SAP
released a comprehensive REACH Compliance solution in August 2008 to tackle business
disruptions associated with this regulation and alleviate substance usage,
management, and logistical and legal processes. Since the release, less than 20
partners are currently identified as preferred by SAP(r) to provide global
implementations of their REACH Compliance solution. YASH Technologies, a global
leader of enterprise business and technology solutions, is included in this list of
elite partners.
SAP estimates that an average chemical company will manage 15,000 compliance
projects in the next several years and another study by PricewaterhouseCoopers
indicates that many chemical companies may miss the December 1, 2008 REACH
pre-registration deadline. The enterprise-wide coordination of compliance activities
can be difficult to manage and many companies remain uncertain about the type of
technology commitment required to achieve compliance. SAP's recognition of leading
REACH Compliance implementation partners alleviates concerns about qualifications
needed to implement the REACH Compliance solution successfully.

"YASH is delighted to be recognized in this elite group of implementation partners,"
comments Sreekanth Muktevi, Sr. REACH Consultant for YASH Technologies. "SAP's REACH
Compliance solution is robust and easily integrates with a company's existing ERP,
Supply Chain Management and EH&S applications. Organizations can benefit from a
single integrated solution and dramatically save cost and implementation time."
Compliance has become a business-critical process. YASH Technologies has developed
a suite of services around SAP's REACH Compliance solution to address these
requirements.

YASH offers three levels of REACH Compliance solutions:
# Pre-registration: Complete Pre-registration Process - Guidance, Dossier Creation
and/or services. Additionally, YASH can assist in post pre-registration phases such
as expert advice, registration services, SIEF representation services, data
identification and extraction, and maintaining data on IT tools.
# Substance Volume Information: Substance Volume Tracking (SVT), a part of SAP EH&S
module, helps companies determine the volume of substances existing in their supply
chain. This functionality provides more efficient monitoring of substances for REACH
compliance.
# REACH Compliance Suite Implementation: SRC (SAP REACH Compliance) solution is
developed on the SAP Environment, Health and Safety (SAP EH&S) application. YASH can
assist in implementing this suite to track the substances and its volumes and in
collaborating workflows with your customers, suppliers, SIEF members and ECHA. It is
integrated with your SAP Logistics, IUCLID and other third party tools, and helps in
the complete registration process leading to overall compliance of REACH.

The criteria for selecting implementation partners were stringent. Proven SAP
expertise, global delivery capabilities, experience in providing solutions for
compliance and governance, and a mature Chemicals and EH&S practice were several key
factors.

YASH will also be participating at India Chem (stall A41), October 20-22, at the
Bombay Exhibition Centre in Goregaon, Mumbai, India. YASH will be offering spot
pre-registration services for REACH and will showcase the demo of SAP's REACH
Compliance solution. For more information on YASH's REACH Services, please visit:
