RCH China Architectural Engineering,

China Architectural Engineering, Inc. (CAE) (AMEX:RCH), a leader in the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of high-end curtain wall systems, today reported that its backlog for 2008 currently stands at approximately $106.3 million. The backlog figure consists of 17 separate domestic and international contracts. Of that amount, the Company said it expects to book approximately $80.3 million in new revenue in 2008 based on contracted projects not yet started as of December 31, 2007, with additional revenue of approximately $26 million from projects already underway. Ken Yi Luo, China Architectural Engineering�s Chairman and CEO, commented, �Our current backlog, the highest ever reported by CAE, is one indication that 2008 should be a banner year. It is especially worth noting that the growth in orders is being propelled by a sharp rise in orders from outside China. This shows that the Company�s strategy of seeking growth with aggressive expansion beyond its core market is bearing fruit.� CAE said the increase was due primarily to rapid growth in overseas orders. Of the 2008 backlog, 36% consists of orders for projects outside CAE�s home market of China. This is a substantial increase in such orders from the fourth quarter of 2007, when they comprised about 21% of the expected revenue total. CAE views backlog as an important statistic in evaluating its level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in its business. It also cautions that backlog is only one indicator and not the most effective indicator of the ultimate profitability of its revenues.
