Nstein Technologies Negotiating to Acquire Alis Technologies

Montreal (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Acquisition of Alis subject to the signature of final agreements
and certain other conditions, as well as regulatory approval

Nstein Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: EIN) announced today that it is
negotiating the acquisition of Alis Technologies ("Alis"), a world
leader in multilingual information management software solutions that
help large corporations and organizations ("Global 2000")
communicate more efficiently in a multilingual environment and on
the Internet. Alis has over 50 customers, mainly in North America
and Europe. It is based in Montreal and has offices in North America
and France.

Highlights
    -  The planned transaction is subject to certain conditions, including:
       an operational, financial and organizational restructuring completed
       of Alis, requiring an investment of approximately CAD$3.5 million by
       strategic Canadian and American partners.
    -  Upon closing of the transaction, Alis's new financial position will
       be characterized by CAD$2.7 million in cash, a net value of
       approximately CAD$2 million and expected revenue of CAD$4 million for
       the next 12 months for a forecast 15% profitability.
    -  Alis's only long-term liability at closing is expected to be
       CAD$750,000 in interest-free debt repayable over 10 years in annual
       instalments based on a percentage of the cash flow generated by
       Alis's activities.
    -  The planned transaction will enable Nstein to capitalize on a large
       portfolio of international customers consisting primarily of
       European and North American "Global 2000" companies.
    -  The planned transaction will also enable Nstein to capitalize on a
       sales force already working with major customers and skilled at
       selling Nstein solutions, and on internationally-recognized
       solutions that complement its own technology.
    -  Nstein considers the risks associated with integrating the
       commercial, legal, organizational, technological and administrative
       aspects of Alis to be minimized due to a detailed strategic plan
       involving all Nstein's senior management. Execution of the plan will
       be closely monitored on an ongoing basis.

The terms of the proposed agreement to acquire Alis Technologies
provide for Nstein to issue 35,185,185 common shares at CAD$0.27 per
share, subject to voluntary escrow for a 24-month period. The
acquisition of Alis is subject to the signature of final agreements
and certain conditions mentioned above, as well as regulatory
approval.

Nstein Technologies is presently unable to confirm whether or not
this transaction will go ahead or whether it will go ahead in
accordance with the parameters presently being contemplated. Nstein
will issue a press release once the situation is clarified.
