China Architectural Engineering, Inc. (CAE) (AMEX:RCH), a leader in the design, engineering, fabrication and construction of structural exterior cladding systems, today announced that it has been awarded a contract worth approximately $3.8 million to renovate the exterior of the landmark National Museum of China in Beijing. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2009. Revenues from it will be recognized in the last three quarters of 2008 and the first two quarters of 2009. Under the terms of the project, CAE will design, engineer, fabricate and install curtain walls for the renovation of the National Museum, located on Tiananmen Square. CAE Expects Additional Multi-Million Dollar Contracts for Related Work to National Museum In addition, CAE said it has been awarded a contract for curtain walls in a new section of the National Museum. The value of this contract is in the final government approval stage and is expected to be announced shortly. �This project marks yet another milestone for CAE,� said China Architectural Engineering Chairman and CEO, Ken Y. Luo. �The work we expect to perform on the National Museum of China may be our most prestigious project yet in our home market of China. It will further enhance the company�s reputation and raising its profile as a pace-setter in design and engineering. �Our project is part of a renovation and expansion effort that will transform the National Museum into the most significant landmark on the east side of the Tiananmen Square,� Mr. Luo continued. �With a total exhibition area of well over two million square feet, it will be transformed into one of the largest and finest museums in the world. Having completed three other award-winning, high-profile landmark projects on the other three corners of the Tiananmen Square, CAE is very proud to leave its imprint on the most prestigious projects in the historic and cultural center of China�s capital. These projects also reflect CAE�s unrivaled expertise and reputation in the curtain wall industry in China and worldwide.� The renovation and expansion project at the National Museum in Beijing is located along Chang�an Avenue, east of Tiananmen Square. Upon its completion, CAE will be represented by four landmark projects at each corner of the Square. The other three are CAE�s UNESCO award-winning Meridian Gate Exhibition Hall of the Palace Museum (completed in 2005), the National Grand Theater and the renovation project of Chairman Mao Zedong Memorial Hall (both completed in 2007). CAE Expects 2008 to Represent a Breakthrough Year in Both Revenues and Earnings The Company also expects that its recent series of large multi-million dollar contracts, many of which will be recognized in the current year, positions CAE towards achieving a record year in both revenues and earnings. This is further supported the Company�s rapidly growing backlog figures, amongst other metrics. The Company noted that CAE�s backlog has grown substantially since January 2008 � when it released a backlog figure of over $100 million. A more current backlog figure is expected to be announced shortly.
