Lionax: LIONAX Signs an Acquisition Agreement With Guanhua Cyber Solutions


PARIS, November 28 /PRNewswire/ --     LIONAX announces today that it signed an Acquisition Term
Sheet with Guanhua Cyber Solutions Co., Ltd. (GCS) to acquire 51% of GCS's
total share holding. GCS is the dominant solution designer and provider of
Passenger Information System for Public Transportation System including
Metro, Hi-Speed Railway Stations, Light Rail, Bus Station, etc., with 80%
market share in China. GCS's 2007 revenue is expected to be EUR4.5 million
and net profit EUR2 million.

Public transportation is a high growth industry in China. In
addition to metropolitans in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, dozens more
Chinese cities plan to build new public transportation systems. In 2005,
there were more than 100 cities in China with a population over 1 million.
The number is increasing rapidly as China moves quickly in its urbanization
process. At the same time, most cities' public transportation systems are
planned to be rebuilt or upgraded. GCS revenue and net profit both grew 5
fold in the past three years and expect to grow another 3 to 4 fold in the
next three years.

Public transportation is an important area of application for LIONAX's
TPMS product and MEMS sensors. James Yang, LIONAX Chairman and CEO says: "The
acquisition of GCS is a key strategic move by LIONAX to enter new TPMS market
segment, as well as prepare for our promising MEMS sensor business. We will
be able to leverage GCS's strong network and reputation in the public
transportation industry. I am very confident that this acquisition will bring
excellent return for LIONAX investors." Tao Wu, GCS CEO comments: "We are
very proud to join LIONAX, the first Chinese company listed on Euronext. GCS
is in a fast growing industry and believes that the international management
team of LIONAX will add tremendous value to our development. It is also
exciting to have exposure to investors from Europe."

The term sheet indicates the purchase price as EUR7,659,000
Euros, with final adjustment for audited 2007 financial results. LIONAX will
have rights to appoint 3 members in the 5 person GCS board.

LIONAX will be meeting institutional investors in Europe in
December 2007 and January 2008 to finance this deal.
