nCore’s Multilingual Software; Companies Partner to Provide Complete Rendering and
Editing of Complex Languages on Mobile Handsets

Business Wire
Feb 10, 2005

e-SIM Ltd. (OTCBB: ESIMF.OB), a leading provider of MMI (Man-Machine
Interface) solutions for mobile handsets and nCore Ltd. a leading
provider of internationalization solutions, announced today that
they have partnered to supply complete multiple-language support
for mobile handsets. To facilitate the success of this solution the
companies have integrated nCore’s multilingual engine, nScript, into
e-SIM’s MMI solution. e-SIM plans on supplying the nScript engine as
part of its complete MMI offering to its customers.

With this partnership, e-SIM’s customers will be able to sell handsets,
which include complete editing and rendering support for languages
such as Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Russian, Farsi, Georgian, Greek,
Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Malay, Malayalam, Pashto, Takalog, Thai,
Urdu and Vietnamese, in addition to the Latin and Chinese scripts
already supported by e-SIM. nScript will also enable handsets, based on
e-SIM’s MMI solution, to include a rich text editor, which allows for
the creation of styled text messages that can include in-line graphics.

e-SIM’s market-proven, end-to-end MMI solution includes a complete MMI
reference design, a comprehensive set of RapidPLUS(TM) development
and customization tools, and a broad range of professional
services. e-SIM’s business model is based on licensing its MMI
reference design, licensing its RapidPLUS(TM) development tools,
and collecting runtime royalties for each handset incorporating
its technology.

nCore’s multilingual engine, nScript, is an embedded software component
optimized for devices with limited memory and processor speed. The
restricted operating environment, together with the complex algorithms
needed for text layout, place tough demands on efficiency of design
and implementation. nScript implements two main components of any
user interface design: sophisticated text rendering and text input.

The e-SIM – nCore integrated product will be demonstrated at
the upcoming 3GSM World Congress in Cannes between February
14th and 17th. To schedule a demonstration please contact

“Collaboration between e-SIM and nCore further enhances our complete,
pre-integrated MMI solution,” commented Reuven Kleinman, VP Business
Development and Marketing at e-SIM. “With nCore’s technology, e-SIM
can now provide handset manufacturers a competitive edge entering
the fast-growing emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East.”

“We are excited to see the nCore localization technology integrated
with e-SIM’s complete MMI solution and look forward to a long term
partnership. With this cooperation e-SIM licensees are getting the
best value and performance proposition for designing handsets for
all market areas.” said Tapio Koivuniemi, CEO of nCore Ltd.
