Technology Park with a local government representative of Nanjing

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." About China Security &
