China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. Announces Significant E-city
Project Win in Nanjing City
Project Valued Approximately RMB 944 Million
SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Security &
Surveillance Technology, Inc. ("CSST" or the "Company")
(NYSE: CSR; Nasdaq Dubai: CSR), a leading provider of digital surveillance
technology in the PRC, today announced it has signed a RMB 944 million
(approximately US$138.0 million based on an exchange rate of USD 1.00 to RMB
6.84) E-city agreement for Nanjing New Town Science and Technology Park with a
local government representative of Nanjing City.
According to the agreement, the project will commence in November 2009 and
is expected to be fully completed before November 2011. The project's
construction will be subjected to specific installation arrangements separated
into several phases, and corresponding revenues will be recognized upon
completion of each phase. In addition, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of
China ("ICBC") will provide accounts receivable factoring service and working
capital financing facilities for each phase of the project.
Located on the lower Yangtze River and with a population of approximately
eight million, Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu Province and one of the
largest industrial cities in southeast China. This E-city project for Nanjing
New Town Science and Technology Park -- "Project Accelerator" -- is customized
to service fast-growing companies headquartered in the area and to catalyze
regional economic growth. The project will be performed on a standard
Build-and-Transfer mode.
E-city, or Digital City, commonly refers to a set of advanced information
facilities that combines broadband communications infrastructure, flexible and
service-oriented computer systems, and multi-media and mass storage platforms,
based on innovative GIS, GPS, remote sensing and various other technologies to
meet the needs of governments, citizens and businesses. An E-city program
involves the development of an integrated digital platform and comprehensive
information technology facilities, including the development of Safe City, an
Emergency Response System and an Information-based Transportation Management
System.
Mr. Guoshen Tu, Chief Executive Officer of CSST, commented, "We are very
pleased to announce this E-city project win in the prominent city of Nanjing.
Our successful leap from Safe City to E-city illustrates our differentiated
scale and scope to our government customers, as our leading brand, proven
success, and unparalleled ability to provide comprehensive digital solutions
to China's large cities once again were key winning criteria. We believe our
expanding customer portfolio of these large-scale E-city projects will in turn
drive additional wins in other major cities throughout China."
Mr. Tu continued, "As we had firmly established cooperation with large
Chinese local banks in the past year, we are confident in our abilities to
undertake big projects and believe that the receivable factoring agreements
will fully satisfy our working capital needs. In addition, as we continue to
push ahead with our bids for larger government contracts, we believe that the
factoring agreements and other financing arrangements will continue to serve
as strategic advantages and key factors in winning our bids."
