  WestPark Capital, Inc. Closes Third WRASP(SM) Deal February 20, 2008

LOS ANGELES — WestPark Capital, Inc. announced the closing of a WRASP(SM) transaction for
Asia Time Corporation (AMEX: TYM). A WRASP is a unique transaction process where a
private company becomes publicly traded through a reverse merger, with its common stock
trading directly on the American Stock Exchange or another senior exchange. A WRASP
involves a comprehensive set of interrelated transactions managed by WestPark Capital, a FINRA
registered broker-dealer. Asia Time’s transaction represents the third WRASP completed by
WestPark Capital.

“With our third WRASP, we have further demonstrated a new means through which profitable
growth companies are able to list on a reputable exchange and raise capital, as well as promote
investor and regulatory visibility, thereby supporting their business growth opportunities. As a
result, we are seeing an increasing number of clients that want to undertake this process,” stated
Richard Rappaport, CEO of WestPark Capital. “WestPark’s WRASP blends elements of an
initial public offering and a reverse takeover, combining the cost-effectiveness and timeliness of
an RTO, while retaining the increased market awareness and visibility of an IPO,” added Kevin
DePrimio, Executive Vice President.

WestPark Capital completed its first two WRASP transactions in June and September of 2007,
respectively, for China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical, Inc. (AMEX: KUN) and China Architectural
Engineering, Inc. (AMEX: RCH).
