China Telecom Order

Cyan Holdings Plc 03 July 2007 Press Release 3 July 2007 Cyan Holdings Plc ('Cyan' or 'the Company') First Production order for China Telecom Cyan Holdings plc (AIM: CYAN.L) the fabless semiconductor company specialising in the development of low powered, configurable microcontroller chips is pleased to announce that it has received the first production order for eCOG1K chips for a new product being launched by China Telecom. Cyan's customer has designed a special pay-phone using smartcards which also acts as a clocking in and out terminal and will be installed in factories throughout China. The pay-phone will be used by migrant employees working in factories for calls home to their families. A range of extended features are already planned for future models of this payphone. China Telecom is the largest fixed-network service provider in China and has been conducting field trials of the pay-phone for several months. China Telecom plans to introduce these pay-phones with a range of financial incentives for factory owners to accelerate penetration and to maximise market share. Deployment of pay-phones has commenced in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and will extend to a total of six provinces across China. Whilst the initial quantities are modest, less than 10,000 units, these are scheduled to be delivered monthly representing the first three months of a production ramp which commences in September. Kenn Lamb, Chief Executive Officer of Cyan, commented: 'Although initial order quantities are modest compared to the market opportunity as understood by Cyan's management, we are encouraged by this first production order following successful field trials and are working with our customer on the development of next generation pay-phone systems that offer a greater range of revenue generation opportunities for China Telecom.' The Board is confident that the Company is making progress towards the objective outlined at the AGM of delivering steady and stable growth going forward. The Board of Cyan does not believe that the fall in the share price of the Company in the two months since the AGM reflects that progress. The current market capitalisation of the Company is, in the opinion of the Board, more appropriate to a development-stage company that has yet for instance to complete working silicon. Cyan by contrast has a new microcontroller family being actively marketed and an existing product which has achieved revenues. The Board expects that the Company will be able to announce further developments in the remainder of this year that will demonstrate the progress that the Company is making.
