HLS Systems International Announces Signing of a $22 Million High Speed Railway Control Systems Contract

BEIJING–(EMWNews)–HLS Systems International, Ltd. (OTCBB: HLSYF) (“HLS”

or “the Company”), today

announced that the Company, along with its partner Ansaldo STS,

has been awarded a contract by the People’s

Republic of China (PRC) Ministry of Railways for the design,

construction, implementation, and maintenance of a new 300 kilometer per

hour high speed rail line. When completed, this rail line will span 459

kilometers, or approximately 285 miles, and link Zhengzhou in Henan

province and Xi’an in Shaanxi province.

The project was awarded to a consortium formed by HLS and Ansaldo STS, a

leading technology company listed on the Milan Stock Exchange that

operates in the global Railway and Mass Transit Transportation Systems

business. The total contract value amounts to RMB660 million, or

approximately US$97 million, with HLS’ portion

for the control system amounting to RMB151 million, or approximately

US$22 million. HLS will begin recognizing revenues upon the commencement

of the project in the current quarter. The project is expected to be

completed by the end of 2009.

Dr. Wang Changli, HLS’ Chief Executive Officer

commented, “The 300 kilometer per hour high

speed train will be one of the fastest passenger trains in China and we

are very excited to announce that HLS has been awarded the automation

control system contract for this prestigious project. We have been

successful in implementing our control systems in the current 200

kilometer per hour high speed rail lines in China and this new contract

for the more advanced 300 kilometer per hour rail line is a testament to

our high quality system design and performance.

HLS is one of only five companies authorized by China’s

Ministry of Railways to provide automation control systems for its

railway systems, one of only three companies that have the capability to

provide control systems for high speed rail networks and one of only two

companies able to provide automation systems for trains with speeds of

300 kilometers per hour or greater. Based on our track record and close

cooperation with the Ministry of Railways, we believe that HLS is well

positioned to receive additional contracts in this 300 kilometer per

hour rail category.”
