Kid Castle Becomes the Leading Franchise Pre-School Operation in China TAIPEI, Taiwan, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kid Castle Educational Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: KDCE) celebrates the opening of its 100th Kid Castle franchise school in China's ChanChung city, Jilin province. This represents a remarkable achievement for Kid Castle, as the company has operated for only two years in mainland China. In that brief period, Kid Castle has become the country's leading franchise pre-school operator. In spite of the impact of the SARS epidemic on the region, Kid Castle has remained on schedule with its aggressive expansion throughout China. In particular, Kid Castle has formed strategic alliances with China Haier Group, the country's leading electronic appliance manufacture, as well as with 21st Century Publishing Company. With these business partners, Kid Castle has secured an excellent opportunity to penetrate the China market with its 'Digital Classroom' and direct-sale publication products. Mr. Yu-En Chiu, CFO of Kid Castle, expects that the above cooperation will bring about a great contribution to the company's continued financial performance. Furthermore, in the interest of the company broadening its exposure to international investors, the board of directors of Kid Castle has agreed to apply for AMEX listing and has begun preparing the related documentation for review by the Exchange.
