Nov 8, 2007

Beijing, China – November 8, 2007 – Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd. ("Hollysys") today announced highlights of its strategic plan for the next 18 months.

Hollysys Systems intends, over the next 18 months, to:

1. Use proceeds from the warrant redemption to invest up to $40 million in its

Beijing HollySys operating subsidiary. This will increase Hollysys' percentage

ownership in Beijing HollySys from 74.11% to approximately 85%, which

will result in Hollysys' receiving a corresponding increased share of the

earnings of this subsidiary going forward

2. Continue to increase revenues and earnings from its Nuclear Power Control

Systems business by delivering on recently announced contracts and by

obtaining new contracts now under negotiation

3. Begin to recognize significant revenue and earnings from its Rail

Automation Systems business

4. Launch its Automation and Drive business by integrating its in-house PLC,

drive and motor businesses into a new Unit

5. Begin the process of expanding its local service centers in China. Hollysys will

increase the number of its local service centers in China from 4 to 10 over

the next 12 months to accommodate the growing customer base and to

raise its service level

6. Continue to expand internationally to take advantage of an increasing

interest in its products from many large and medium sized international

companies

Dr. Wang Changli, Hollysys' Chief Executive Officer explained, "Being a listed company in the US, we are issuing this outline to help our investors better understand our current business and to make them aware of our plans for the future. Over the next few months we expect to provide more insights into many of the items mentioned above.

 

"The automation and control business is complex and multifaceted. Because it is technology based, the barriers to entry are high. It has taken us years to develop several product lines that can compete on a performance basis with any in the world and can be delivered at considerably lower cost to the end users. As one of the largest and most technologically advanced automation control systems companies in China, we plan to continue to grow our businesses aggressively in different segments. In addition, we are continuing our entry into the international markets with our proven and very competitive product lines.

 

"We are very excited about our prospects for the future, and we expect to turn that excitement into results that will enhance shareholder value."
