Lonestar Capital Corp., a public company traded on the Toronto Venture Exchange (lon.p), is looking for leading Solar Integrators in the California market, with the goal of building a national leader in the renewable/alternative energy industry.

Lonestar Capital Corporation (TSX VENTURE: LON.P) ("Lonestar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into agreements to acquire two leading California solar power companies.

Effective June 29, 2008, Acro Energy Technologies, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Lonestar ("Acro Energy Technologies") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Acro Agreement") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Acro Electric, Inc. ("Acro") in exchange for a combination of cash and issuance of common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Acro Acquisition").

Effective July 3, 2008, Lonestar, through Acro Energy Technologies, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "NextEnergy Agreement") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred shares of NextEnergy Corp. ("NextEnergy") in exchange for a combination of cash and issuance of common shares in the capital of the Company (the "NextEnergy Acquisition").

Acro and NextEnergy are full service solar integrators specializing in the installation of residential and commercial photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems. Acro is headquartered in Oakdale, California. NextEnergy's headquarters are in Concord, California. Steven Vella is the President of Acro. Randy Kauffman is the President of NextEnergy. Upon completion of the Acro Acquisition and NextEnergy Acquisition, Mr. Vella will become Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Kauffman will become Vice President - Sales of Acro Energy Technologies.

The Acro and NextEnergy Acquisitions will constitute a "Qualifying Transaction" for the Company as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the "Exchange").

Acro and NextEnergy are both at arm's length to the Company and the proposed Qualifying Transaction is therefore not a "Non Arms Length Qualifying Transaction" as defined by Exchange Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies (the "CPC Policy"). The Acro Acquisition and NextEnergy
Acquisition were negotiated as and are being completed as arm's length transactions.
