Streetlight Intelligence Inc. (STI) (TSX VENTURE:SLQ) (the "Corporation") today
announced that despite progress in gaining technical acceptance and market
awareness with many potential users of the Corporation's product, these
achievements have not prevented the drop in the trading price of the common
shares of the Corporation in the last few months. The board of directors
believes that while year-end tax related selling has had some negative impact on
the common share trading price, it is clear to the board of directors of the
Corporation that the shareholders of the Corporation and the market place are
disappointed by the lack of progress by the Corporation in achieving significant
sales to date. In order to face these challenges the Corporation announces the
following restructuring of management and operations.


The board of directors has decided to booster the Corporation's management team
with the appointment of Mr. Vince Krynski, of Calgary, Alberta, as the new Chief
Executive Officer of the Corporation, effective immediately. Mr. Krynski will
replace Donald A. Cleland who remains committed to the Corporation and will
continue as President. Mr. Martin A. Winstanley, Executive Vice President, has
resigned and will remain as a director of the Corporation. The board of
directors of the Corporation has given Mr. Krynski the mandate and will give him
the necessary support to move the Corporation forward to economic recovery. 


Mr. Krynski, age 52, has broad experience in creating, managing and building
shareholder value in small and mid size high-growth manufacturing and technology
businesses. In 1980, Mr. Krynski founded and was the President and Chief
Operating Officer of HTI Canada Ltd. ("HTI"), an oilfield production equipment
supply company. This company started with US technology and adapted it to the
Canadian heavy oilfields. HTI's technology advances were well accepted in
Canada. HTI was sold in 1994 to Kvaerner Process Systems Inc. with the intent of
taking the technology international. In 1989, Mr. Krynski co-founded and was the
President and Chief Operating Officer of Dyad Holdings Ltd. One of this
company's main holdings, Dyad Data Services, became a Calgary leader in the
management and storage of geophysical data. Dyad Data Services was sold to
Ausdoc Group Limited, an international data management and transport company
based in Australia, in 1999. In 1990, Mr. Krynski co-founded Ceramic Protection
Corporation ("CPC"), an advance ceramics technology company manufacturing wear
products and ceramic ballistics protection products for personal and vehicle
protection. CPC's customers included Ford Motors, police forces and
international users of ballistic protection systems. CPC is listed on the TSX
Venture Exchange. During the years of CPC, Mr. Krynski acted in various
capacities including Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Corporate
Development and continued as a director until October, 2006. Mr. Krynski also
has a background in venture capital. In 2000 Mr. Krynski co-founded Foundary
Ventures, an investment partnership investing in early stage technology in
advanced manufacturing companies. In June 2004, Mr. Krynski also co-founded
Fulcrum Capital Inc. Fulcrum merged in January 2006 to form Macro Enterprises
Inc., a pipeline and facilities construction and services company listed on the
Toronto Stock Exchange and serving the oil and natural gas industry in Northern
Canada. Mr. Krynski currently serves on the board of directors of this
corporation.


The board of directors believes that Mr. Krynski's background exemplifies
leadership experience and provides an indication of the diverse skills he will
contribute to the Corporation moving forward.


In connection with Mr. Krynski's appointment, the board of directors has granted
Mr. Krynski an option to purchase up to and including 500,000 common shares of
the Corporation, of which 300,000 common shares have an exercise price of $0.50
per common share and 200,000 common shares have an exercise price of $0.75 per
common share. The options shall expire five (5) years from the date of grant and
shall vest as to 150,000 common shares immediately and the balance subject to
completion of certain performance criteria. 


In addition to the foregoing the Corporation has also implemented costs saving
measures with an attempt to reduce monthly expenses by over 50%. The Corporation
is continuing to attempt to complete the previously announced $3 million private
placement and, as evidence of the confidence in the Corporation's future
success, various members of the board of directors, and other insiders of the
Corporation are intending to subscribe to the private placement offering which
is anticipated to close prior to the end of January, 2008.
