TOKYO and LOS ANGELES, CA (the Company) (http://www.polaris-int.com) announced today that Polaris Technology, Inc. has executed the definitive agreement for the acquisition of Staff IS CO., Ltd.'s cabling division http://www.staffis.co.jp. Additionally, management has released the timetable for closing both the Polaris Technology and Staff IS CO., Ltd. acquisitions.

The Polaris Technology, Inc. acquisition is scheduled to close by January 31, 2008 and the Staff IS CO., Ltd.'s cabling division acquisition is scheduled to close on or before February 29, 2008. Once completed, Polaris Technology, Inc. will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Polaris International Holdings and Staff IS CO., Ltd.'s cabling division will operate as a division of Polaris Technology. The two companies have already begun working cooperatively on the development of new business for the combined venture.

Staff IS CO., Ltd., incorporated on October 1, 2001, currently has twelve employees in its cabling division; they will join Polaris Technology's existing staff of six with the closing of Staff IS CO.'s cabling business. Although actual revenue figures for Polaris Technology and Staff IS CO. are confidential until the acquisitions are completed, both companies are operating at a positive EBITDA and, accordingly, the acquisitions will be accretive to PIHN shareholders.

The Companies' accountants have begun preparing the books of all three companies to facilitate an audit of the combined companies immediately following the closing of the Staff IS CO.'s cabling division acquisition as the first step toward becoming a fully reporting company and an application to be listed for trading on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board.

The acquisition of the Staff IS CO.'s cabling division is viewed as doubly advantageous because it is not only accretive to the Company's shareholders with profitable revenue stream, it also delivers high profile customers along with a highly experienced staff. The Company's founders Naoto Higuchi and Kuni Misawa worked for Staff IS Co., Ltd. as operation executives. This pre-existing relationship with management has enabled Polaris to make what it considers a very advantageous acquisition that will be very desirable to PIHN shareholders. Naoto Higuchi, co-founder of Polaris International Holdings, also is the sole owner of Polaris Technology, Inc. In less than a year, Polaris Technology has attained profitability and boasts an impressive list of clients including Fortune 100 Global members. With Higuchi also owning 40% of Polaris International Holdings, the acquisition of Polaris Technology/Staff IS CO. is also structured to be very attractive to PIHN shareholders.

Polaris Technology and Staff IS CO., Ltd. deliver IT management and outsourcing services across applications, data centers, networking and desktop environments. Both Staff IS's cabling division and Polaris Technology have Fortune Global 100 corporations as clients.

According to Kuni Misawa, Polaris International Holdings, Inc. CEO, "The execution of the Staff IS CO. agreement represents another significant milestone for the Company. I am particularly pleased that the respective teams have found synergy and are already working together to bring their combined products to their respective customer bases. I am confident our expanded capabilities will serve to cement customer loyalty and to expand opportunities within the vertical markets they represent."
