Press Release Summary: Both companies to extend the eXPeditor VIP service to an
array of product lines ranging from component level and motherboards to module
levels such as Mini PC, Digital Engine, and Advanced Aggregate Display.

Press Release Body: Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 4th, 2007: AOpen and SKY
Electronics today announced that they are launching, 'eXPeditor' VIP (Vertical
Integration Platform). Expanding beyond the concept of MODT (Mobile on Desktop) such
as power saving, whisper-quiet operation and less thermal problem, both companies
will extend the eXPeditor VIP service to an array of product lines ranging from
component level and motherboards to module levels such as Mini PC, Digital Engine,
and Advanced Aggregate Display.

eXPeditor VIP adopts the core of Intel® GM 945 and GM965 chipsets, Intel® CoreT 2
Extreme (Merom) and duo-core 64 bit processors such as Intel® CoreT 2 Duo (Merom).
The greatly enhanced operational performance enables VIP to meet the increasing
demand from the vertical application markets for products and services that are
geared to perform critical tasks. The companies will also extend this service to AMD
Platform Solutions in the near future.

"In this age of lightning fast technology advancements, the applications and
vertical markets are now gradually moving from the traditional entry-level
performance, long product lifecycle, IPC concept. 'Digital Signage applications'
users, for example, are demanding that the LCD screen plays high resolution video
advertisements while another small section of the same LCD screen should also be
used to display other informative messages. This requires higher system performance
by the components such as Intel chipsets. The same goes for Computers in Cars and
Hotels which needs PC systems with ultra small form factor," says Manoj Thacker,
Managing Director of SKY Electronics.

"Keeping the market requirements in mind, AOpen's VIP solutions have the capability
and proven success to deliver especially with demand from wide variety of other
different applications such as Kiosks, POS, Medical, Education, Home Automation to
name a few in Europe and US," Mr. Thacker added.

SKY innovations are focused on Partnership and Value keeping Customers in mind.
SKY's goal is to drive these innovations to become leaders in their respective
markets and to remain competitive with variations in their field in the long run.
"Our business focus is on Power Retail outlets, VARs and Special Projects
partnerships with support from our Technology Partners such as AOPEN, Microsoft,
Intel, AMD to name a few," said Manoj Kisani, Director of Sky. "Our bigger priority
is to deliver to our customers the right platforms for their needs and the
flexibility to grow and prosper with expanding opportunities."

SKY Electronics will be demonstrating the benefits of eXPeditor VIP - Intel
technology at its Stand (B9-5) in Sheikh Rashid Hall during Gitex Technology Week
2007. Technology experts from AOpen and SKY will be present at SKY's stand to meet
with customers and explain the key features of Expeditor VIP - Intel technology and
its impact on Lifestyle.
