Beijing, China, April 12, 2002 -HR Consulting and solutions provider, BriTay International Inc. announced today that it has signed a Letter of Engagement with DragonVenture Inc., a premier Cross-Pacific venture capital, consulting and merger and acquisition (M&A) company. Under this agreement, DragonVenture, based in Palo Alto, California with an office in Beijing will be engaged by BriTay to solicit proposals from both individual and institutional investors, as well as business entities interested in acquiring an equity position in the company and its China-based business operations.

"We are very pleased to enter into this agreement naming DragonVenture as our venture capital consultant." Said Don Carter, President and CEO of BriTay International Inc. "We believe DragonVenture has a great track record of partnering interested investors with emerging business opportunities in China and the company clearly understands the challenges of this complex yet very coveted market."

"DragonVenture is excited at the opportunity to advise and assist BriTay International." Said Tony C. Luh, Managing Director of DragonVenture, Inc. "BriTay is in the right market at the right time. BriTay will be even more successful in China with additional funding from synergistic investors."

DragonVenture's presence in China has been significant. In February of this year, the Dongguan Municipal Government of China appointed the firm as its "Consulting Agency of Record" in order to promote the city and its business opportunities to foreign investors. In December of 2001, DragonVenture signed a deal to co-manage an M&A fund with Guangzhou's Canton Venture Capital firm which is intended to line up interested foreign investment for blue chip China companies from the region. This deal followed news of a US$60M fund to be jointly raised with China's largest venture capital firm, Shenzhen Venture Capital that DragonVenture announced in October of 2001.

"We believe we have a series of very compelling HR business solutions to offer our clients operating in China and by partnering with a venture capital firm such as DragonVenture, we feel confident we will raise the required capital to bring our solutions successfully to market" stated Don.
