SHENZHEN, China, April 15 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China
Information Security Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPBY) ("China
Information Security," "CIST" or the "Company"), a leading total
solutions provider of digital security, GIS and digital hospital
information systems in China,
today announced that its newly signed contracts in the first
quarter of 2010 were valued at $30.6
million, an increase of 65% compared to the first quarter of
2009.
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company won contracts from
clients in 23 provinces and provincial cities in China. Some important contracts secured in the
first quarter included:
-- $2.1 million contract for the Wuhan Digital City Project;
-- $1.1 million contract for the Maoming City Police-use GIS Project;
-- $1.0 million contract for the Chengdu City Railway GIS Project;
-- $0.5 million contract for the Dongguan Fenggang Hospital PACS Project.
Of this quarter's contracts, 60% were for the Company's Digital
Information Security Technology ("DIST") products, 33% were for its
Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") products and 7% related to
its Digital Hospital Information Systems ("DHIS") products.
Management expects that the majority of these contracts will be
recognized as revenue in 2010.
Mr. Jiang Huai Lin, Chairman and
CEO of the Company, commented, "Despite the first quarter
historically being the slowest season in terms of both revenues and
contract volumes, we are highly encouraged by the 65% increase in
contract value from the first quarter of 2009. We continue to see
strong momentum from both new and existing local governmental
customers, which we believe reflects the strong reputation of our
product solutions in the market. We also believe that the
relatively sizable contracts mentioned above demonstrate our
success in further expanding our business beyond the Guangdong region. We are confident in the
future of our business as we continue to benefit from an increase
in high priority public spending in China, which we believe is a network effect of
our consistent repeat customer base."
