SHANGHAI, CHINA--(Marketwire - Jan 14, 2013) - Dragon Capital Group Corp. (PINKSHEETS: [ DRGV ]), a leading holding company of emerging high-tech companies in China, announced today the completion of its acquisition of Shanghai Zhiye Software Development Company ("Zhiye"). Dragon Capital Group acquired a 100% equity interest in Zhiye in exchange for 130 million shares of its restricted common stock.

Zhiye was founded in 2008 by a group of software engineers and is engaged in application development of mobile solutions for devices running on Android, iOS, Windows Mobile and Apple's operating systems. Zhiye has been working to develop a mobile programming solutions platform to enable application developers in China to easily and efficiently develop and modify applications to work across the most popular mobile operating systems in China. Management at Dragon Capital Group believes this acquisition will help expand its systems development capabilities and enable the company to leverage its current technical personnel.

With year over year growth of 85% in 2012, China is the fastest-growing smartphone market by far according to recent research from Informa Telecoms & Media. Additionally, this growth is being driven by the explosive demand for Android phones. Sales in China of devices powered by this OS exceeded 50% penetration in the first half of 2012 and Informa estimates that two in every three handsets sold in China in 2012 are powered by Android. Additionally, China represented one third of all Android devices sold throughout the world in 2012.

Industry experts estimate that more than 200 million additional devices operating on Android will be sold in China in 2013. The mobile application development market for the Android devices in particular is in its early stages of growth in China and represents a vast opportunity for Zhiye. Zhiye intends to focus its initial efforts with developers looking to migrate their applications from other systems mainly to Android and Apple operating systems as well as attract developers looking to reach the broadest possible audience through a synergistic coding platform enabling quick design time between various operating systems. 

Mr. Lawrence Wang, Chairman and CEO of Dragon Capital Group, stated, "As a holding company for emerging high tech companies, the acquisition of Zhiye places us at the cutting edge of an industry that is exploding across China. Additionally, our experience in working with systems development make this company a natural fit for Dragon Capital Group. We believe Zhiye has the potential to carve out a significant developer base for its platform in this exploding, high margin multi-billion dollar industry and help our company resume a strong growth track in the coming years for the benefit of our stockholders."
