Huayin City and Shangluo City in Shaanxi Province, together valued at

revenue from these two projects is expected to be recognized within the next
three to five years.
    The E-city framework agreement with Huayin City is valued at approximately

and value of Huayin E-city project will be subjected to specific agreements,
and corresponding revenues will be recognized upon the further signing and

information, to strengthen its position as a tourism destination and enhance
regional economic growth.
    Huayin City, a county with a history of over 2,300 years, is located at
the north of Huashan Mountain (or "Mt. Huashan") of Shaanxi Province. Huayin
City is a famous scenic zone with profound history, unusual tourism resources
of cultural relics, and abundant natural reserves. Huayin City is one of the
key economic development areas of Shaanxi Province driven by the national
western development strategy.

execution time and value of Shangluo E-city project will be subjected to
specific agreements, and corresponding revenues will be recognized upon the
further signing and execution of binding contracts, which is expected to be
carried out in 2010. The Shangluo E-city project aims to build out a fully
integrated Safe City platform, an Emergency Response System and an
Information-based Transportation Management System to improve urban
information communication and management infrastructure and thus speed up the
urbanization process and economic growth in the region.
    Shangluo City, located in the southeast of Shaanxi Province, has a
population of 2.4 million people and is renowned for its flourishing
agriculture and natural resources. Within the one-hour economic circle of the
capital of Shaanxi Province, Xi'an City, Shangluo City has enjoyed vigorous
economic growth and embraced many foreign investments. In 2008, Shangluo
City's local fiscal revenue growth ranked No. 2 in Shaanxi province.
    Mr. Guoshen Tu, Chief Executive Officer of CSST, commented, "We are very
excited to announce these two E-city framework agreements with Huayin City and
Shangluo City, respectively. These two pending projects further demonstrate
CSST's leading brand and unparalleled scale and scope as we continue to win
large government projects. We are confident that our solid industry
experience,
comprehensive digital solutions, and successful track record of previous
E-city contract wins will position CSST for additional government projects and
initiatives that promote digitized urbanization in China."
    Mr. Tu continued, "We also believe that our established cooperation with
large Chinese banks on factoring facilities and other financing arrangements
will continue to serve as a strategic advantage in securing government
