COLUMBUS, Ohio -- December 5, 2003 -- Fast Forward Solutions, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AirNet Systems, Inc. (NYSE:ANS), announced today that Fast Forward Solutions, LLC and NetDeposit, Inc. have signed a term sheet regarding their intent to finalize an agreement to provide a standard Image Replacement Document ("IRD") check processing solution to the payments industry.

With the recent passage of federal legislation known as "Check 21" (the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act), financial institutions will be allowed to accelerate their transition toward complete electronic processing of paper checks. Check 21 goes into effect in October, 2004. The use of IRDs, which are also known as "substitute checks," is an important electronic check processing option that should allow both image- and non-image-enabled banks to potentially achieve powerful new operational efficiencies. IRDs are also expected to play a significant ongoing role in "Day 2" processing of checks for both returns as well as in the accommodation of customers who want copies of their checks to be included in their monthly statements.

Fast Forward Solutions' goal is to bring a comprehensive, end-to-end IRD solution to the marketplace that leverages both the "best in class" electronic check processing technology and imaging of NetDeposit and the national distribution network capabilities of AirNet Systems, Inc. Fast Forward Solutions plans to launch its end-to-end IRD solution in the first quarter of 2004.
