REALESTATE4SALE.COM ANNOUNCES LETTER OF INTENT TO BE ACQUIRED BY PHOTONICS CORPORATION DALLAS, Feb 3, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Photonics Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PHOX), formerly a developer of Integrated Device Electronics and Small Computer System Interface disk controller cards based in Sunnyvale, California, announced today the Company has signed an agreement of its intent to acquire all the outstanding shares of RealEstate4Sale.com, Inc., a Dallas, Texas based, privately held internet company that provides listing information on commercial / investment properties for sale within the United States and soon on a world-wide basis. "Photonics has been looking for a quality entry point into the 'dot com' business, and of the companies we reviewed, RealEstate4Sale.com was clearly the opportunity we were looking for," stated James T. Koo a representative of Photonics. "While the MLS (multiple listing service) for residential real estate has been around for decades, the centralized listings of 'commercial/investment real estate' have been regional efforts, fragmented on a national scope and non-existent world-wide. RealEstate4Sale.com has built that vehicle for investors to find real estate investments and have been growing a world-wide sales force to implement its usage." Subject to completing due diligence, making needed internal corporate structural changes, a shareholder vote and any other securities requirements, the acquisition is expected to be consummated on February 14, 2000. "Photonics's access to the public markets will provide us the needed ability to consummate the acquisition of various internet and non-internet related companies needed to command a prime position in our market on a world- wide basis," remarked Chip Langston, RealEstate4Sale.com's Chief Financial Officer. "Our shareholders are excited, and we anticipate full support for this move." Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
