On Track Innovations Ltd. ("OTI") (Nasdaq:OTIV), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, ASEC S.A. ("ASEC") in Poland, was awarded an extension to its contract as an e-ticketing operator of Warsaw City Card by the Urban Transport Authority of the City of Warsaw. The original award from 2008 was scheduled to end in 2013, and the new extension ensures a smooth and continuous operation until the end of 2017. Total direct revenues generated from transaction fees over the entire project's life span are expected to reach approximately $25 million, with approximately $20 million over the next 6 years.   

As part of the project, ASEC is responsible for the build and operate of the project including financing and installation of infrastructure equipment.

ASEC already installed 100 automated vending machines and 300 terminals for loading of Warsaw City Card that are located at subway and train stations, buses and tramway transfer hubs and at areas frequently visited by tourists.

Last year ASEC has expanded the services provided to include loading of GSM prepaid cellular phone cards at the ticket vending machines for which ASEC receives a transaction fee from the loading value. Additionally, riders can use their contactless credit cards to reload funds on their Warsaw City Card.

Oded Bashan, Chairman and CEO of OTI, said, "We are pleased with the City of Warsaw's decision to continue with us. We are working very hard to provide best of class service, technology and operation for the benefit of the commuters in the city of Warsaw. The project is in line with our focus to secure projects with high margin recurring revenues and transaction fees."
