SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Unitech Group, Inc. ("China Unitech" or the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: CUIG), operating through Junlong Culture Communication Co. Ltd. ("Junlong"), a leading internet cafe chain operator in China, today announced that it has added five new internet cafes in Shenzhen, bringing the total number of internet cafes under the Company's operation to 48.
From October to December 2010, China Unitech added five internet cafes in Shenzhen with a total capital investment of $1.5 million. Comprised of 815.6 square meters on average, these internet cafes are located in Bao'an, Henggang, Pingshan, and Shajing, Shenzhen. With estimated average payback period of 2 years, management expects these stores to contribute an aggregate of approximately $2.4 million annually in total.

China Unitech believes construction and renovation of the four other internet cafes will be completed by March 2011. For 2010, China Unitech expects to achieve approximately $ 19 million in revenue.
"Following our recent successful introduction of seven additional new internet cafes in the third quarter of this year, we are pleased that we further expanded our network in Shenzhen by adding five facilities to be operated under the "Dragon Surf" brand name, which we believe will enable us to expedite penetration in our existing market. In order to increase capacity, we are planning to add a total of 1332 computer units to these new internet cafes. We believe the investment in additional equipment will contribute favorably to our revenue and profitability over time," commented Mr. Dishan Guo, Chief Executive Officer of China Unitech Group, Inc.
