Under the pending contract, it will build external envelopes, including entranceways, walkways, bridges and parking lots, for associated facilities of the Red Line, including passenger walkways and bridges. When completed, the Dubai Metro system will be the longest fully automated rail system in the world. The Red Line is the first of the system�s four lines. Work on both Dubai projects is expected to be finished by the second quarter of 2009. Revenue from them will be recognized in the last three quarters of 2008 and the first two quarters of 2009. China Architectural Engineering Chairman and CEO Ken Y. Luo commented, �The Dubai Metro project promises to be our largest effort yet outside China, with potential revenue far beyond that of the initial contract. As a major step forward in CAE�s Middle East expansion strategy; it will serve as an announcement of CAE�s arrival in one of the largest construction markets in the world. Also, this project is only for the first stage of the Dubai Metro System. CAE has a long-term commitment to the Middle East and foresees significant future demand for construction projects from Dubai and other cities and countries in this region. We are in the process of setting up a subsidiary in Dubai this year to capture this significant demand.� The Dubai Metro project is the flagship project of the RTA (Road and Transport Authority � Dubai) with investments for the first phase alone totaling over $4.2 billion. It will be the first system of its kind in the Middle East. The goals of the Dubai Metro System are to provide an alternative mode of transport to ease congestion, save traveling time and reduce pollution; thereby improving environmental quality and mobility within the city in order to accommodate Dubai�s rapid growth. The Dubai Metro System utilizes state-of-the-art technology and engineering expertise. Its visibility throughout the city also will make a prominent architectural showpiece.
