HUIZHOU, China, July 30 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- NIVS IntelliMedia
Technology Group, Inc., (NYSE Amex: NIV) ("NIVS" or "the Company"), an
integrated consumer electronics company that designs, manufactures, markets
and sells intelligent audio and video products, today announces that it has
been awarded the highest "AAA" credit rating by China Export & Credit
Insurance Corp. ("Sinosure").
There are 62 companies from the Guangdong province that have been granted
"AAA," "AA" and "A" ratings by Sinosure, and among which only NIVS and three
others have been endowed the highest "AAA" credit rating. The credit rating
reflects a company's solid legal status, business scale, credit history, and
business prospect, and the "AAA" rating recognizes an enterprise's excellence
in business operation, credit worthiness, and internal risk management.
Sinosure is the only policy-oriented Chinese insurance company
specializing in export credit insurance, and its rating system employs a
combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis of an entity's macro
environment, management team, internal controls, financial strength, suppliers
and customers. Sinosure's export risk management rating aims to strengthen
export enterprises' risk management, internal control process, and ultimately
overall risk management. Sinosure's mission is to support national
enterprises and hi-tech corporations with innovative technologies and products
to develop overseas markets. Since its founding, Sinosure has been supporting
and promoting the export of hi-tech products, through a series of services
including short-term and long-term export credit insurance, domestic trade
credit insurance and guarantee, international debt collection, credit rating
and financing facilities under credit insurance, to guarantee export trade of
hi-tech corporations all-around and build an insurance chain covering various
credit risks for hi-tech corporations.
"We are very proud to be granted Sinosure's 'AAA' rating for three
consecutive years since 2006," commented Mr. Tianfu Li, Chairman and CEO of
NIVS. "This entitlement is a strong recognition of NIVS' strong risk
management and internal control. As the global financial crisis continues to
impact the region's export business, the strategic partnership between
industries and financial institutions will help Chinese enterprises gain more
exposure in the international market. A sound and well-implemented risk
control system becomes an inevitable requirement for sustainable corporate
development, and as we proceed with our planned expansion in both domestic and
overseas markets, we are confident that our comprehensive risk management and
highest credit rating will further strengthen NIVS' market position and brand
awareness, enhance our competitive advantages. As we continue to strengthen
our internal controls and risk management, we are confident to maintain our
'AAA' rating in the coming years."
