For the second time, Firan Technology Group Corporation (TSX:FTG), a leader in
aerospace cockpit control devices, has been selected by an AVIC subsidiary to
supply cockpit control panel assemblies (CPA). FTG announced today, that it has
signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with LIEOE, based in Luoyang, China, for the
supply of Heads Up Display (HUD) CPA's for the C919 aircraft program. 


Under the terms of the LOI, FTG will design, develop, manufacture and supply the
HUD CPA. The design, development and initial manufacturing will be completed at
FTG Aerospace - Toronto. Volume manufacturing will be performed at FTG's
facility in Tianjin, China. The LOI anticipates a minimum Purchase Order
quantity of 1,440 production ship sets and related spares. FTG expects to

underway. Further discussions and negotiations are in progress with a view to
concluding a Master Agreement between LIEOE and FTG. This Master Agreement will
include In Service Support (ISS) for the delivered products.
