The rapid growth of our TPMS core products sales in 2007 is a reflection of the huge demand for such products, which have become a legal requirement in the United States since September 1st 2007. This has triggered awareness of TPMS products benefits in terms of road safety and is having a positive impact on the global demand.

Lionax's TPMS products provide a competitive safety solution for vehicle manufacturers and owners. The delivered orders in 2007 are a key step in the implementation of our strategy to penetrate the American and European automotive TPMS markets. In 2008 we forecast a huge demand for TPMS on global market.

For Lionax we foresee a continued and steady growth for the year 2008, thanks to the rapid growth of Lionax core business of TPMS products, and based on purchased orders received so far.

Lionax estimates 2008 revenues to be at HKD 96,750,000 (or EUR9,000,000*) and 2008 net income to be at HKD 11,300,000 (or EUR1,050,000*)."
