                            London Asia Capital plc
                        ("London Asia" or "the Company")

                   Approved as Listing Sponsor for Alternext
                  Three new clients signed up for PLUS listing


London Asia Capital PLC (LDC.L), the Asian focused investment group, is pleased
to announce that it has been approved by NYSE Euronext to sponsor listings on
the Alternext Stock Market.

Alternext is a tailor-made market for small and mid cap companies. It focuses on
businesses with a minimum two year track record, and market capitalisations of
Euro20-Euro250 million.

London Asia has seen demand from a number of businesses in China, particularly
those that trade with Europe, to seek listings on Alternext. The approval as an
Alternext listing sponsor complements London Asia's existing ability to list
companies on the UK's PLUS market. London Asia intends to market the Alternext
listing to businesses across Asia, including, China, Hong Kong, India and other
Southeast Asian countries.

Jack Wigglesworth, Chairman of London Asia, commented:"European investors have
shown increasing interest in China, as Europe has overtaken the US to become the
largest market for Chinese goods, and European businesses increasingly target
Chinese markets. We have to date acted as sponsor to eleven Asian businesses
listing on PLUS, and have signed up a further three Greater China based
businesses to sponsor their listing on PLUS. Alternext, with its focus on larger
businesses in contrast to those that typically list on PLUS, provides us with a
credible and attractive alternative to listing our clients and investee
businesses on AIM."

About Alternext
                    
Euronext and the New York Stock Exchange merged on 4 April 2007 to become NYSE
Euronext. This has created a market with around 80 of the 100 largest companies
in the world listed on its markets and a total market capitalisation of some
Euro22,800 billion, more than the four next-larger markets combined.

Alternext was setup just over two years ago by Euronext to cater for the needs
of young, fast growing businesses. It is an exchange-regulated market that
offers simplified access to financial markets and streamlined listing
requirements for small and midsized companies from every sector of the economy,
while ensuring compliance with rules on investor disclosure and the control of
financial information. It has over 100 companies listed, with a combined market
capitalisation of over Euro5 billion, spread across a broad range of industries.
The market targets businesses with a two year track record, and market
capitalisation of Euro20-250 million. There are over 60 approved sponsors, whose
job it is to advise companies on the requirements to list and confirm to the
market that the business meets those requirements, both at listing and on an
on-going basis.
