The current overall PLC market is estimated to be approximately 6-7 million RMB annually with the market for large-scale PLC's including large industrial plant control systems, safety interlock systems, safety instrumented systems and high-end security control systems representing about 30% or 2 billion RMB. This market, which is expected to experience a better than 10% annual growth rate, has been mainly dominated by large foreign corporations Projects like this are being sponsored by the government to foster domestic development of high-end control systems to enable China based companies to capture a much larger percentage of this fast growing market.

We will continue to support Yazheng in their efforts to build this important business segment for the future growth of Dragon Capital."
