Chairman Weihe Yu of New Energy Systems Group Addresses Kim Fai Acquisition

SHENZHEN, China, May 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- New Energy Systems Group (NYSE Amex: NEWN) ("New Energy" or the "Company"), a vertically-integrated original design manufacturer and distributor of lithium ion batteries and consumer branded backup power systems, today addressed shareholder comments and questions regarding New Energy's acquisition of Kim Fai Solar ("Kim Fai') in November of 2010.

 "We have been receiving numerous e-mails and calls on Kim Fai, its value to our shareholders and our relationship with Kim Fai before our acquisition in November of 2010," began Weihe Yu, Chairman of New Energy Systems Group. "When I was the president of Shenzhen Anytone ("Anytone"), one of the original shareholders in the Anytone business was an investor named Mr. Ruizheng Cheng. In addition to his support of Anytone and mobile power products, it was widely known amongst our investors and our management team that Mr. Cheng was also a strong believer of the solar power business and industry in China. In December of 2009, Mr. Cheng decided to invest in and develop a solar power business which he named Shenzhen Anysolar Co., Ltd. ("Anysolar"). Anysolar was, and is, primarily a sales agent which markets solar panels and equipment to select customers in China. Anysolar is not a manufacturer and thus outsources its Anysolar-branded original equipment and original design solar products to a number of third party manufacturers. Kim Fai Solar was one of such manufacturers.  Seeing the quick development of Mr. Cheng's business and witnessing the continued growth of the Chinese solar power industry, I approached my board of directors in the third quarter of 2010 with a plan to enter the solar market by acquiring Kim Fai and subsequently their customer base.  This customer based included Mr. Cheng's Anysolar company. The acquisition was completed in November 2010. On the date of the acquisition, the business between Anysolar and Kim Fai was very small compared to Kim Fai's largest customers. Such customers include:  Heshan Jianhao Lighting Co., Ltd. and Dongguan SingfoSolar Technology Co., Ltd., which accounted for 13% of Kim Fai's business at the time and still remain the Company's most significant solar panel customers. Neither Mr. Cheng, nor any of Mr. Cheng's employees or advisors of Anysolar were, at any time, shareholders of Kim Fai. We recognize that the companies cooperated and co-marketed together on several occasions however they are two separate businesses. New Energy's acquisition of Kim Fai was at arm's length and did not constitute a related party transaction."

New Energy System Group has further filed an 8-K with the SEC, today which attached as an exhibit a legal opinion on the acquisition of Kim Fai. Guangdong Shendadi Law Firm in has issued a detailed legal opinion on the acquisition which indicates "the acquisition does not constitute a related party transaction under PRC laws."  A copy of the 8-k and the translated legal opinion by the PRC counsel can be obtained on the SEC Website, www.sec.gov or New Energy's website.
