<p>Second Quarter 2010 Results</p>
<p>For the second quarter of 2010, the Company's total revenue increased 0.4% year over year to <span>$22.8 million</span>, compared to <span>$22.7 million</span> for the same period in 2009.  This slight increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the Company's revenues from maintenance services, offset by the decrease in the Company's revenue from system contracting projects and product sales.</p>
<p>Revenues from system contracting projects decreased by 0.1% to <span>$18.3 million</span> during the second quarter of 2010, compared to <span>$18.3 million</span> for the same period of last year, while revenues from product sales were <span>$3.6 million</span> during the second quarter of 2010, compared to <span>$3.8 million</span> for the same period of 2009. The decrease in revenues from both system contracting projects and product sales were attributable to the slowdown in the execution of projects from the iron and steel industry, which experienced industry weakness with lower steel selling prices and rising costs of iron ore during the period.</p>
<p>Gross margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 54.3%, compared to a gross margin of 63.8% for the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in the Company's gross margin was mainly due to the lower revenue contribution from iron and steel industry during the period. System contracting projects from the iron and steel industry generally contribute higher gross margins than the projects from other industries, due to a higher percentage of the Company's self- manufactured proprietary products being utilized in the iron and steel projects.</p>
<p>The Company's operating income for the second quarter of 2010 was <span>$7.0 million</span>, compared to <span>$9.6 million</span> for the same period last year. The decrease in the operating income was mainly attributable to the decrease in the Company's gross profit and the increase in the Company's operating expenses during the period.</p>
<p>The Company's GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2010 was <span>$6.3 million</span>, compared to <span>$8.3 million</span> for the same period of 2009, representing an annual decrease of 24.0%. The decrease in net income was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit and increase in operating expenses during the period. As a result, the Company's fully diluted EPS was <span>$0.22</span> in the second quarter of 2010, versus <span>$0.29</span> in the second quarter of 2009.</p>
<p>If the non-cash option and restricted stock expenses are excluded, then the Company's non-GAAP net income was <span>$7.4 million</span> during the second quarter of 2010, compared to <span>$8.6 million</span> during the second quarter of 2009, representing an annual decrease of 14.1%. The Company's non-GAAP diluted EPS was <span>$0.26</span> for the second quarter of 2010, compared to <span>$0.30</span> for the same period of 2009.</p>
<p>Liquidity and Capital Resources</p>
<p>As of <span>June 30, 2010</span>, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of <span>$27.8 million</span>, a sequential increase of <span>$2.6 million</span> from <span>$25.1 million</span> at the end of the first quarter of 2010. During the second quarter, the Company generated <span>$2.8 million</span> cash from operations as compared to a positive operating cash flow of <span>$0.4 million</span> in the same period of last year.</p>
<p>Mr. <span>Brian Lin</span>, chief executive officer of <span>China Fire</span>, commented, "I am pleased with the progress we have achieved during this quarter, particularly in light of the unexpected softness in the iron and steel vertical. As we continue to build up our backlog, we remain optimistic, having seen significant opportunities and demand for our fire protection total solutions."</p>
<p>Financial Outlook for 2010</p>
<p>Based on the Company's current backlog and contract pipeline, for full year 2010, the Company now expects to achieve revenues of <span>$118 million to $125 million</span>, representing an annual top line growth of 45%-54%. The Company estimates that GAAP net income will be in the range of <span>$34 million to $36 million</span>, or EPS of <span>$1.20 to $1.26</span> based on fully diluted shares outstanding of 28.5 million, representing an annual bottom line growth of 39% - 47%. This is in comparison to the previous targets of revenue of <span>$135 million to $145 million</span>, net income of <span>$47 million to $49 million</span> and EPS of <span>$1.65 to $1.70</span>.</p>
<p>Mr. Lin concluded, "We believe that the current setback within China's iron and steel industry is only a short-term challenge to our business. We find it prudent to revise our 2010 outlook accordingly. We remain fully confident in our ability to grow our business and expand our market share in different verticals.  The long-term <span>$2 billion</span> market potential of retrofitting opportunities within the iron and steel industry has not changed, and in our view, we are well-positioned to capture tremendous business opportunities from the industry recovery and from China's industrialization process overall.  As such, we believe that <span>China Fire's</span> current stock price level does not reflect the intrinsic value of our Company, and so we intend to actively implement our existing share buy-back plan of <span>$10 million</span>. We are confident that by leveraging our proprietary products, leading brand name and strong track record, <span>China Fire</span> will continue to gain significant market shares from the iron and steel, power generation, chemical, transportation and international markets."</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><span>BEIJING</span>, <span>July 12</span> /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- <span>China Fire</span> &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=cfsg" target="_blank">CFSG</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=cfsg" target="_blank">News</a>) ("China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading industrial fire protection product and solution provider in China, today announced that the Company has won two total solution retrofitting contracts with Anshan Iron &amp; Steel Group Corporation ("Ansteel") for a total value of approximately <span>US$4.1 million</span>.</p>
<p>Ansteel is headquartered in Anshan City, <span>Liaoning Province</span>, China. With an annual production capacity of 32 million tons of iron and steel, Anshan is one of the top three large-scale, state-owned iron and steel companies in China. Ansteel's Bayuquan Steel Project ("Bayuquan Base"), located in Yingkou City, <span>Liaoning Province</span>, is a modern production base for Ansteel's higher-quality products. Since its operations commenced in 2008, Bayuquan Base has been one of Ansteel's top three production bases with an annual production capacity of 15 million tons.</p>
<p>Under the first contract, valued at approximately <span>$3.4 million</span>, <span>China Fire</span> will provide fire protection services for a retrofitted medium-heavy plate mill at Ansteel's Bayuquan Base. <span>China Fire</span> will provide a turn-key fire protection system featuring the Company's Fire Security Information Management System, which facilitates real-time network monitoring, an Automatic Fire Alarm and Control System, a Fire Emergency Communication System, and a Water Mist Fire Extinguishing System. This turn-key solution will ensure that fire-hazard locations in the mill's main production areas, such as underground cable tunnels, hydraulic stations, oil depots, underground electrical rooms and step-down transformers, are protected from potential fire risks and are fully compliant with the new fire codes for China's iron and steel industry. This project is expected to be completed within the next six months.</p>
<p>Under the second contract, valued at approximately <span>$0.7 million</span>, <span>China Fire</span> will provide total solution retrofitting service for ANSC-TKS Galvanizing Inc. ("TAGAL"), a joint venture company formed by ThyssenKrupp Stahl and Ansteel. Previously, in 2005, <span>China Fire</span> was contracted to implement a supporting fire protection system for TAGAL's Phases I and II projects. This time, <span>China Fire</span> has been commissioned to employ its proprietary products, such as linear heat detectors and a fire-alarm monitoring and control system, to make TAGAL's plant fully compliant with the new fire codes for iron and steel industry. This project is expected to be completed within the next three months.</p>
<p>"We are very excited about the opportunity to provide our turn-key fire protection system to Ansteel, a long-time customer of ours," commented Mr. <span>Brian Lin</span>, chief executive officer of <span>China Fire</span>. "We feel this win once again proves our customers' trust and satisfaction with our solid industry experience, leading brand and comprehensive fire protection solutions. We are also encouraged by the strong sponsorship by the Chinese government for the technological renovation and upgrades in the production capacity among the large iron and steel groups, as indicated by the contract wins with Ansteel. We are very confident that our expanding portfolio of total solution projects will further help <span>China Fire</span> to secure more retrofitting contracts in the iron and steel industry in the near future," concluded Mr. Lin.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><span>BEIJING</span>, <span>July 6</span> /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- <span>China Fire</span> &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=cfsg" target="_blank">CFSG</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=cfsg" target="_blank">News</a>) ("China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced that the Company has been awarded a contract for Fire Detection Systems with China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd. ("CNPEC"), valued at approximately <span>$10 million</span>, the largest amount contracted from CNPEC to date.</p>
<p>CNPEC, headquartered in <span>Shenzhen</span>, <span>Guangdong Province</span>, is a subsidiary of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group ("CGNPG"), the largest of the three nuclear power companies in China. CGNPG is in the process of constructing five new power-generating projects, which will have a total installed generating capacity of approximately 21,000 MWe. Among these projects is the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant (the "Taishan Plant").</p>
<p>The Taishan Plant, located in Taishan City, <span>Guangdong Province</span>, began its official construction on <span>December 21, 2009</span>. It is the first nuclear power station in China to be adopting the latest Evolutionary Power Reactor ("EPR") Technology. The overall plan is to build four sets of nuclear power units, with a single unit within this project targeting capacity of 1,750 MWe, the largest single-unit output in the world.</p>
<p>EPR technology is a third-generation nuclear power technology designed and developed in <span>Europe</span> with a main design objective of stronger safety and enhanced economic competitiveness compared to previous nuclear technologies. According to the revised Chinese Medium- and Long-term Development Plan for the Nuclear Power Industry (2005-2020), China aims to have an installed nuclear power capacity of 70-80 gigawatts by 2020, where most nuclear power units will adopt third generation technology.</p>
<p>"We are very pleased with our record contract win in the nuclear sector, which not only demonstrates our success in the fast-growing nuclear vertical but also further validates our continued efforts to diversify our revenue mix," commented Mr. <span>Brian Lin</span>, chief executive officer of <span>China Fire</span>. "As nuclear power plants require use of the most sophisticated fire protection products, this high-profile contract win highlights our leading position in China's fire protection industry, as well as our excellent value proposition and strong track record."</p>
<p><span>China Fire</span> is contracted to supply its Fire Detection Systems to Nuclear Island ("NI"), Conventional Island ("CI") and Balance of Plant ("BOP"), three key sections of the Taishan Plant.  <span>China Fire</span> will be fully responsible for all aspects of supplying the Fire Detection Systems, from design and manufacturing to installation and maintenance. Currently, the Company is also in the process of bidding on the corresponding fire-extinguishing contract for the Taishan Plant.</p>
<p>For the NI portion of the contract, <span>China Fire</span>, together with the Company's business partner, will serve as a fire-detection system designer and equipment provider. This part of the contract is valued at approximately <span>$8 million</span> and expected to be completed within the next three years.</p>
<p>Under the CI and BOP portions of the contract, <span>China Fire</span> will serve as a fire-detection equipment provider for various fire-detection products with a total value of approximately <span>$2 million</span>. <span>China Fire</span> will provide fire-detection products that include the Company's proprietary recoverable rate-of-rise temperature linear heat detectors, infrared flame detectors, and special infrared flame detectors for explosion-hazard areas. The project is expected to be completed within the next three years.</p>
<p>"CNPEC has been our customer since 2008, and we believe CFSG was awarded this contract win based on CFSG's proven capabilities of delivering the industry's best total fire protection solution and our deepening mutual relationship of trust and quality with CNPEC. The third generation nuclear power technology such as EPR technology is set to become the mainstream technology used in China over the coming years, so we are particularly pleased to have established a solid foothold in the market. With our strong brand and technical leadership, we feel we are well-positioned to capture other new business opportunities that will arise from China government's implementation of the <span>$66 billion</span> nuclear power development plan," concluded Mr. <span>Brian Lin</span>.</p>

<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">First Quarter 2010 Results</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">For the first quarter of 2010, the Company's revenue increased 25.3% year over year to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$20.9 million</span>, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$16.7 million</span> for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in all business segments including system contracting projects, product sales and maintenance services and the successful implementation of the Wuhan Iron and Steel's retrofitting contract during the period.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Gross margin for the first quarter of 2010 was 55.5%, compared to a gross margin of 61.6% for the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in the Company's gross margin was primarily due to the contract mix during the period where lower margin contracts contributed to a higher percentage of revenues.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">The Company's operating expenses were <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$5.5 million</span> for the first quarter of 2010, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$4.1 million</span> for the same period of 2009. The increase in the Company's operating expenses was primarily due to an increase of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.8 million</span> in non-cash option and restricted stock expenses during this quarter. If this non-cash item is excluded, then operating expenses only increased 17.0% on annual basis, which is slower than the Company's growth in revenue.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">The Company's operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$6.1 million</span>, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$6.2 million</span> for the same period last year.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">The Company's GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2010 was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$5.2 million</span>, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$5.6 million</span> for the same period of 2009, representing an annual decrease of 7.1 %. This decrease in GAAP net income was mainly attributable to a lower gross margin and higher operating expenses. As a result, the Company's fully diluted EPS was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.19</span> in the first quarter of 2010, versus <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.20</span> in the first quarter of 2009.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">If the non-cash option and restricted stock expenses are excluded, then the Company's non-GAAP net income was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$6.3 million</span> during the first quarter of 2010, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$5.9 million</span> during the first quarter of 2009, representing an annual increase of 6.7%. The Company's non-GAAP diluted EPS was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.22</span> for the first quarter of 2010, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.21</span> for the same period of 2009.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Liquidity and Capital Resources</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">As of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">March 31, 2010</span>, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$25.1 million</span>, a decrease of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$9.8 million</span>from <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$34.9 million</span> at the end of 2009. During the first quarter, the Company used <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$7.1 million</span> cash for operations as compared to a positive operating cash flow of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$2.5 million</span> in the same period of last year. This quarterly decrease in the Company's cash position and negative operating cash flow during the first quarter of 2010 were due to a temporary delay in the initial payment of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$18 million</span> from the Wuhan Iron and Steel's retrofitting project. The Company is expected to receive the initial payment during the second quarter of 2010.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Financial Outlook for 2010</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Based on the current backlog of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$141 million</span>, the Company reaffirms that for the year 2010, its revenue is expected to increase by between 66% to 78% to a range of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$135 million to $145 million</span>. Net income is estimated to grow 89% to 105% or between <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$47 million to $49 million</span>, <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$1.65 to $1.70</span> per diluted share.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Mr. <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">Weigang Li</span>, executive chairman of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> commented, "We are pleased with our first quarter results as we successfully signed and implemented our first retrofitting project in the iron and steel industry. Through our internal marketing research, we have found the huge potential in the retrofitting market for iron and steel industry, which is approximately <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$2 billion</span>. We are confident that <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> will be able to secure more retrofitting contracts in future. Furthermore, in addition to our core iron and steel vertical, we continue to pursue expansions into other verticals, including power, transportation, petrochemical as well as international markets."</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><span>BEIJING</span>, <span>March 30</span> /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- <span>China</span> Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=cfsg" target="_blank">CFSG</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=cfsg" target="_blank">News</a>) ("<span>China</span> Fire" or the "Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in <span>China</span>, today announced that, due to health reasons, Mr. Gangjin Li has resigned from his position of chairman and chief executive officer of <span>China</span> Fire, effective immediately. The Company's board of directors has appointed Mr. <span>Weigang Li</span> as director and elected him the new chairman of the board. In addition, Mr. <span>Brian Lin</span> will reassume his former position as <span>China</span> Fire's chief executive officer, while also serving as acting chief financial officer.</p>

<p>A founding member of <span>China</span> Fire and a driving force in the Company's early and present sales achievements, Mr. <span>Weigang Li</span> has been instrumental in building <span>China</span> Fire's strong sales force of over 100 people across the country. He has also been influential in winning a number of large, notable contracts since the Company's inception, including the recent record <span>$92 million</span> retrofitting contract win with Wuhan Iron and Steel Group.</p>
<p>Mr. <span>Weigang Li</span>, who is also Mr. Gangjin Li's brother, has over 15 years of hands-on experience in project sales and sales management in <span>China's</span> fire protection industry. Working his way up the Company, Mr. <span>Weigang Li</span> has previously served as vice general manager of sales and project execution and vice general manager of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sureland Industrial Fire Safety Ltd. ("Sureland"). Recently, he was vice president of worldwide sales of <span>China</span> Fire and general manager of Sureland. Prior to founding Sureland in 1995, Mr. <span>Weigang Li</span> was an entrepreneur selling electrical systems to industrial customers in <span>China</span>.</p>
<p>"We respect Gangjin's decision to resign from the Company and wish him a speedy recovery," commented Mr. <span>Weigang Li</span>. "<span>China</span> Fire has greatly benefited from his strategic leadership and executive contributions, and it has been a great pleasure working so closely with him over the years and co-founding Sureland together. I would like to thank our board of directors for their vote of confidence, and I am convinced that with my experience and deep understanding of the Company, I can further advance Gangjin's vision and continue to take our Company to new levels of growth and profitability and create more shareholder value."</p>
<p>Mr. <span>Brian Lin</span> commented, "While we had hoped that Gangjin's recent return to an active role in the Company would be for an extended period, we fully support his wish to focus on his health. It has been a pleasure for me to work with Gangjin throughout the years and, together with <span>China</span> Fire's employees, customers and business partners, we have achieved so many accomplishments at <span>China</span> Fire. Meanwhile, I have also worked closely with Weigang over the past years, and he has proven himself time and again to be an effective and universally esteemed leader in our Company. So, as I resume the CEO role, I look forward to working side by side with him in leading <span>China</span> Fire to further accelerate our Company's growth and strengthen our competitive advantages."</p>

<p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 1.22em;">BEIJING</span>, <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">March 16</span> /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q;_ylt=Ak05TCSWD3l6WCS6XrUMZCCxcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTB1ZmkyZ3N0BHBvcwMxBHNlYwNuZXdzYXJzdGFydARzbGsDY2ZzZw--?s=cfsg" target="_blank">CFSG</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h;_ylt=Avu.9446oUPtjQY8mqUZdtGxcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTB1Y2RwaWtlBHBvcwMyBHNlYwNuZXdzYXJzdGFydARzbGsDbmV3cw--?s=cfsg" target="_blank">News</a>) ("China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">December 31, 2009</span>.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Full Year 2009 Results</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Revenues for 2009 increased 17.5% to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$81.2 million</span> from <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$69.1 million</span> for 2008, driven primarily by higher total solution and product sales. During 2009, the Company recognized revenues from 445 total solutions, product sales and maintenance services contracts, compared to 319 contracts in 2008. The iron and steel industry remains the Company's largest vertical, having contributed 75% of the total revenues in 2009, followed by power generation at 16%, and petrochemical and other verticals at 9%.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Gross margin for 2009 was 58.0%, 80 basis points higher than the gross margin of 57.2% in 2008. The increase in the gross margin was primarily attributable to the Company's successful execution of total solution contracts in the iron and steel industry during the year.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Operating income was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$27.6 million</span> for 2009, as compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$23.6 million</span> for 2008, an increase of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$4.0 million</span>, or 17.0%, driven by the strong revenue growth and higher gross margin in 2009. Operating margin in 2009 was 34.0%, compared to 34.1% in 2008, as total operating expenses increased to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$19.5 million</span> in 2009, from <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$15.9 million</span> in 2008. The higher operating expenses were primarily due to increased marketing activities and the expansion into new markets, most notably the retrofitting market in the iron and steel industry.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Net income was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$24.4 million</span> for 2009, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$24.7 million</span> for 2008, representing a slight decrease of<span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.3 million</span>, or 1.2%. This decrease in net income was mainly attributable to the significant increase in the Company's effective income tax rate during this year, as the Company's main operating subsidiary, Sureland Industrial Fire Safety, Ltd., began to pay income tax at a rate of 12.5% after the expiration of its tax exemption period in 2008. GAAP fully diluted EPS was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.86</span> in 2009, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.88</span> in the prior year.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Fourth Quarter 2009 Results</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">For the fourth quarter of 2009, revenue decreased 19.4% year over year to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$16.9 million</span>, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$21.0 million</span> for the same period in 2008. This decrease was mainly due to the delay in the signing and executing of the</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">previously announced <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$92 million</span> retrofitting contract with Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Corporation ("WuhanIron and Steel").</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 48.8%, versus a gross margin of 54.3% for the same period of 2008. The decrease in gross margin during the fourth quarter 2009 was primarily due to the lower contribution from the more profitable iron and steel vertical in the total revenue mix. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the iron and steel vertical represented 53% of the total revenue, as compared to 74% in the same period of last year.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Operating income was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$3.3 million</span>, as compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$6.2 million</span> from the same period last year. Operating margin for the period was 19.4%, versus 29.5% a year ago, primarily due to the decrease in gross margin this quarter. Operating expenses were <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$5.0 million</span> for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$5.2 million</span> for the same period of 2008. The improvement in operating expenses during this quarter benefited from lower administrative expenses.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Net income was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$2.9 million</span> for the fourth quarter of 2009, as compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$6.8 million</span> for the same period of 2008. The decrease in net income was mainly due to the decrease in both revenue and gross margin during this quarter as well as the 12.5% income tax on our major operating subsidiary in China. As a result, GAAP fully diluted EPS was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.10</span> in the fourth quarter of 2009, versus <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.24</span> in the fourth quarter of the prior year.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Mr. Gangjin Li, chairman and chief executive officer of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span>, commented, "In spite of lower than expected revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009, I am satisfied with our business momentum and with the groundwork that we laid out over the past year. Due to the larger than expected size and scope of the Wuhan Iron and Steel retrofitting project, we had a delay in the signing of the contract, from which we had projected a <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$10 million</span>revenue contribution during the fourth quarter of 2009. The nature of our business as a total solution provider may occasionally result in unexpected changes in the recognition of certain large projects or contracts, thereby impacting our quarterly results. At this point, however, we have successfully signed this record-high contract, as announced earlier this year, and I am more enthusiastic than ever about <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire's</span> growth momentum in 2010."</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Liquidity and Capital Resources</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">As of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">December 31, 2009</span>, the Company had working capital of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$87.1 million</span> and zero debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$5.5 million</span> in 2009, compared to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$13.4 million</span> in 2008. As a result, net cash increased <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$8.3 million to $35.0 million</span> at the end of 2009, from <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$26.7 million</span> at the end of 2008.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Financial Outlook for 2010</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">For the full year 2010, the Company reaffirms its revenues will grow between 66% and 78% to a range of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$135 million to $145 million</span>. Net income is estimated to grow 89% to 105% to a range of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$47 million to $49 million</span>, or <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$1.65 to $1.70</span> per diluted share.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Mr. Li concluded, "We continue to be excited about the growth prospects in our core iron and steel market and customer base. We are particularly excited that the new retrofit market opportunities are essentially an extension of our core iron and steel business, as the projects require our same core products, core technical and core vertical expertise that have made <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> the market leader with the number one brand in China. Furthermore, in addition to our core iron and steel vertical, we continue to pursue expansions into other verticals, including power generation, transportation, petrochemical, etc., as well as new international markets."</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 1.22em;">BEIJING</span>, <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">Feb. 8</span> /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFSG) ("China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today updates its backlog and 2009 financial forecast, and provides 2010 financial guidance and business strategies.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Driven by the Company's separately announced <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$92 million</span> contract win with WISCO, the current backlog has more than doubled to<span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$154 million</span>, from <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$75 million</span> at the end of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">September 30, 2009</span>. Reflecting the timing of the large contract win, the Company anticipates revenue for full year 2009 will be approximately <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$81-82 million</span> and net income will be approximately<span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$24-25 million</span> or approximately <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$0.87-$0.89</span> earnings per diluted share. Please note that the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">December 31, 2009</span> has not been completed and changes may result during the completion of the Company's audit.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">For the full year 2010, the Company projects revenue will grow 66% - 78% YoY to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$135 - $145 million</span>. Benefiting from higher profitability, net income will likely grow 89% - 105% YoY to <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$47-49 million</span>, and correspondingly, EPS is forecast to range between <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$1.65 and $1.70</span> per diluted share.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">"We are very pleased with our great start in 2010, as the initial size and scope of the retrofitting contract was a pioneering endeavor-both in the comprehensiveness and complexity involving live upgrade. We are very proud of the doubling of our backlog, and we expect to convert a majority of the total backlog to revenue in 2010, which provides us with extra confidence to our strong financial forecasts," said Mr. Gangjin Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span>. "Due to the unprecedented size and scope of the retrofit project, the official signing of the contract took a little longer than we had previously expected, and as such, the project did not contribute any revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009."</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">2010 Business Strategies</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">For 2010, <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> aims to further leverage its total solution business model, proprietary core technology and products, and strong management team to seek innovations in total solution sales, systems and technologies, and project management and to achieve accelerated growth with significantly lower cost. The Company intends to achieve its goals through the following key strategies:</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">1. Continue to develop and capture opportunities in providing fire protection total solutions to high end customers in industrial and special purpose infrastructure industries.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<pre style="font-family: monospace; line-height: 1.22em; font-size: 12px; clear: left; padding: 0px;">      a. In the Iron and Steel industry, China Fire will further expand its
         major breakthrough in the retrofitting and maintenance services area
         to win more contract opportunities from 2010 to 2012, and to
         capitalize on the industry's continued consolidation.
      b. China Fire will promptly and selectively expand into new verticals
         and regional international markets.  New targeted verticals include:
         conventional power plants, power transmission (grid), nuclear power
         plants, petroleum and natural gas, petrochemical, transportation
         (subways, highway tunnels, high speed trains), ships and marine,
         telecommunications carriers (China Mobile, China Unicom, China
         Telecom).
</pre>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">2. Further enhance proprietary product research and development, standardization, industrialization, and intellectual property protection, in order to broaden <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire's</span> product portfolio, improve profitability, help penetrate new verticals, and increase product sales through direct and independent third-party channels.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<pre style="font-family: monospace; line-height: 1.22em; font-size: 12px; clear: left; padding: 0px;">      a. Enhance fire codes in Iron and Steel industry and other new
         verticals, and initiate improvements on certain current product
         stands at the national and international level (e.g. FM, UL)
      b. In addition to its core products in industrial fire detection and
         suppression systems, China Fire will expand its product portfolio by
         internal development and partnership with third parties, and provide
         its customers with integrated product development and scaled product
         manufacturing.
      c. China Fire aims to increase the market share of its integrated
         products through its total solutions to its customers as well as
         independent product sales through channels.
</pre>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">3. Build a strong management platform to support accelerated business growth by improving corporate management capabilities in contract budgeting, financial control and audit, and human resources management. With the number one brand in China's fire protection industry, but yet a still relatively small market share, there are ample growth opportunities ahead for <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span>. As such, the Company will increase its efforts in retaining key employees and attracting new talents from fire protection industry as well other related industries.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">4. Be strategic and opportunistic in Joint Venture, Merger and Acquisition. The objective is to augment the Company's strong organic growth strategy.</p>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 1.22em;">BEIJING</span>, <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">Feb. 8</span> /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFSG) ("China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced that the Company has signed a total solution contract worth approximately <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">US$92 million</span> with Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Corporation ("WISCO") for the Fire Protection Retrofitting Project (the "Retrofitting Project"). According to the contract, <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> will complete the overall retrofitting project of the fire protection facilities for WISCO's 32 plants located in Qingshan, <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">Hubei Province</span>, by the end of 2011.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Comprehensive Retrofitting Project - First of its scale in China</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">WISCO's Fire Protection Retrofitting Project is a pioneering endeavor that aims to comprehensively upgrade, without disrupting ongoing operations, 32 plants to become up to code with the latest Chinese fire safety standards detailed in the "Code of Design for Fire Protection and Prevention for Iron &amp; Steel Metallurgy Enterprises."</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">The project will comprehensively employ <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire's</span> product and services portfolio, including recoverable rate-of-rise &amp; fixed temperature linear heat detectors with protective metallic coating, explosion-proof multi-frequency infrared flame detectors, anti-false-spray water spray fire-extinguishing systems, and anti-false-spray water mist fire extinguishing systems.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Upon completion of the Retrofitting Project, the majority of WISCO's Qingshan plants' fire protection facilities will be fully compliant with China's latest fire safety codes for the iron &amp; steel industry.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Project Background</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">WISCO is one of the top three iron and steel companies in China and receives strong government support in accordance with the "Iron &amp; Steel Revitalization Scheme." <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> has been providing total solution fire safety systems to WISCO for 15 years. During an incident in 1997, molten steel leaked in one WISCO's plants, but CFSG's fire extinguishing system successfully prevented the fire from spreading and averted significant potential damages.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Many of WISCO's iron and steel plants were constructed decades ago and not equipped with code-compliant fire protection facilities, or are no longer adequate for the newer national standards and requirements. Meanwhile, by consolidating the large project, WISCO is also able to integrate other resources, such as water, power and the control center, ultimately saving costs on the total solution system, and, more importantly, will enjoy the convenience and efficiency of a central monitoring and command system ensuring the overall effectiveness and reliability of the fire safety system.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">A key component of WISCO's 2010 work plan is to avoid any major fire accident occurring during the year. This Retrofitting Project addresses the main manufacturing-related plants, representing approximately 90% of their total plants, located in WISCO's Qingshan group, which has a capacity of about 15 million tons per year. According to WISCO, their total aggregate capacity in 2009 was approximately 30 million tons, which is expected to grow to 35 million tons in 2010.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> will continue working with WISCO to secure further fire extinguishing retrofitting projects for the rest of WISCO's plants in Qingshan as well as in other regions in the near future, which WISCO will also need to upgrade in order to bring the group as a whole up to code with new national standards and requirements. This successful win from WISCO not only highlights <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire's</span> competitive advantages but also strengthens its position for more retrofitting wins in the coming years.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire's</span> Value Proposition</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Given the unprecedented scale and complexity of the project, WISCO chose <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> for its #1 brand, market leadership, technical expertise, proven scale and track record, and comprehensive patented product portfolio. <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire's</span> comprehensive network-based monitoring system will eventually provide WISCO with a single point of access that consolidates all fire-related information from each and every one of WISCO's operations. WISCO's managers will be able to access key safety information and monitor operations from anywhere and at any time over the internet. More importantly, the total solution approach provided by <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> will not only ensure full compliance but also create significant cost savings for WISCO overall.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Retrofitting Market Potential</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Driven by the new regulatory requirements and an emphasis from steel makers to allocate new CAPEX spending towards safety and environmental improvements, it is estimated that the retrofitting market from iron and steel groups in China could exceed <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$2 billion</span> in the next 3-5 years, based on the size of WISCO's retrofitting contract and WISCO's relative capacity to China's total annual iron and steel output.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">On <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">May 1, 2009</span>, the Chinese government began to implement the newly revised "Fire Prevention Law of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">the People's Republic of China</span>," which expanded on its previous mandatory national standards of "Code of Design for Fire Protection and Prevention for Iron &amp; Steel Metallurgy Enterprises" enacted on <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">January 1, 2008</span>. The combination of these new regulations strictly encourages iron and steel groups to upgrade their fire safety facilities so as to effectively prevent fire hazards and ensure full safety throughout production. However, a survey of the fire safety facilities in a number of large-scale iron and steel groups revealed that, as with WISCO, many facilities are not up to code with the latest fire safety standards and laws, leaving them dangerously vulnerable to fire hazards. With a total annual output of 300 million tons from the major iron and steel companies and strong support from the government, China's massive iron and steel industry will likely accelerate retrofitting outdated fire safety systems in the near future.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">In addition to the new regulatory drivers, the Chinese government is also encouraging overall technology upgrades in the iron and steel industry. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2009, the Chinese government invested approximately <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">$8.5 billion</span> in the technological transformation and upgrade of 47 projects of the iron and steel industry.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">"We're very delighted about our record contract win for WISCO's Retrofitting Project, as this pioneering contract win highlights our excellent value proposition, unparalleled competitive advantages and the trust of our customer in the total solution approach we have provided them throughout the years. With this large win, we have further increased the gap between us and our closest competitors in the iron and steel industry," commented Mr. Gangjin Li, Chairman and Executive Officer of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span>.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">"As the most important growth strategy, <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">China Fire</span> continues to grow organically by providing fire protection total solutions to high-end customers in industrial and special purpose infrastructures. In the iron and steel industry, in addition to winning total solution contracts for the build out of new plants by our customers, we have been cultivating comprehensive retrofitting services and solutions for major customers. The WISCO Retrofitting Project win proves that our retrofitting strategy has shown initial success. We anticipate many more retrofitting opportunities in the near future and are very confident in our ability to capture the lion's share of these new contracts."</p>

<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">Established in 1955 and government-supported, WISCO is the first giant iron and steel group created since the founding of <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">the People's Republic of China</span> and remains one of the backbones of China's development. After the reform integrating WISCO with Echeng Iron &amp; Steel Company and Liuzhou Iron &amp; Steel Company, WISCO had an annual production capacity of 30 million tons in 2009, the second largest in China and seventh in the world (based on the crude steel output). WISCO is composed of a group of twenty wholly-owned affiliate companies, seven shareholding companies and four branch companies. They recently stepped up its pace of overseas acquisitions to help reach its capacity expansion plans of increasing output by 24% in 2010. In recent years, WISCO has been awarded many national prizes and titles successively in technical innovation, quality control and corporate management.</p>

<p>BEIJING, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q;_ylt=Am88uzzHQMDhbIfGMbljc7mxcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTB2Zms0cWdpBHBvcwMxBHNlYwNuZXdzQXJ0U3RhcnQEc2xrA2Nmc2c-?s=cfsg&amp;d=t" target="_blank">CFSG</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h;_ylt=Ai0lPICr5WW2jPzxhq3Pyrqxcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTB2MWIxcnJxBHBvcwMyBHNlYwNuZXdzQXJ0U3RhcnQEc2xrA25ld3M-?s=cfsg" target="_blank">News</a><strong>;</strong> "China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.</p>
<p>Third quarter 2009 Results</p>
<p>For the third quarter of 2009, revenue increased 48.2% to a record high of $24.8 million compared to $16.7 million for the same period in 2008, benefiting from higher sales of system contracting projects and product sales during the period.  The Company recognized revenues from 205 total solution, product sales and maintenance contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 163 contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2008.</p>
<p>Gross profit for the third quarter of 2009 increased by 41.9%, or $4.1 million, to $14.0 million, from $9.9 million in the same period of prior year. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2009 was 56.4%, compared to 58.9% for the same period of 2008, primarily due to the decreased gross margin of the product sales.</p>
<p>Operating income grew 34.4% to $8.5 million, from $6.1 million for the same period last year, driven by the strong revenue growth.  Operating margin in the third quarter of 2009 was 34.4% versus 36.6% a year ago due to the lower gross margin during this period.</p>
<p>Operating expenses were $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 2008.  As a percentage of the total revenue, operating expense was 22.1%, decreased from 22.3% a year ago.</p>
<p>Tax expense was $1.3 million for an effective tax rate of 15.0%, as compared to $6,736 tax credit a year ago.</p>
<p>Net income was $7.6 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 17.0%, as compared to $6.5 million for the same period of 2008.  As a result, fully diluted EPS increased 16.5% to $0.27 in the third quarter of 2009, versus $0.23 in the third quarter of the prior year.</p>
<p>Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Office of China Fire commented, "I am satisfied with our third quarter performance, as we achieved record revenue and solid profits.  During the quarter, we have secured contracts from iron and steel companies, power plants, and petrochemical plants. We have also succeeded in significantly growing our international markets with notable wins in the fast-emerging power generation market in India.  While our backlog at the end of the third quarter was $75 million, we continue to be excited by our growth opportunities and by our ability to command firm pricing for our total solutions.  We believe that our technical strengths and leading market position will enable us to seize more growth opportunities from the world's two most dynamic economies -- China and India."</p>
<p>Liquidity and Capital Resources</p>
<p>As of September 30, 2009, the Company had cash of $28.5 million, working capital of $84.1 million, and zero debt.  During the third quarter, our accounts receivable increased by $4.1 million to $28.3 million, our DSOs increased slightly to 130 days, versus 128 days in the previous quarter.</p>
<p>Financial Outlook for 2009</p>
<p>For the full year 2009, the Company has reaffirmed its revenue guidance of $88 million to $95 million and its projected net income between $28.3 million and $29.7 million, or $1.00 to $1.05 per diluted share.</p>
<p>Mr. Lin commented, "As a component of China's revitalization scheme for the iron and steel industry, the government, in its efforts to control overcapacity, recently held back on further building new production capacity. However, at the same time, the revitalization scheme also encourages our tier- 1 iron and steel customers to invest in technology innovation and upgrade, and to build new plants for high-end products.  We are increasingly excited about the large contract opportunities in the market of retrofitting existing iron and steel production capacities, with the further enforcement of new Fire Protection Law and the mandatory national fire codes for iron &amp; steel plants in China. Additionally, we anticipate continued government support to substantially expand the nation's power generation and transmission capacity and sustained momentum in the transportation and petrochemical verticals.  We are also excited about the fast-growing industrialization process in India and other developing economies throughout Asia.  As such, we remain focused on executing the strategies that we have consistently outlined throughout 2009.</p>
<p>"We remain bullish about our growth prospects, and we are confident about our strategy and our technical expertise in fire safety.  We intend to continue growing our leading brand, distribution, customer base, total solution offering, and competitive advantages in the rapidly growing industrial fire protection industry."</p>

        <![CDATA[<h2>- New Contract Value Totals $4.4 Million -</h2>
<p>BEIJING, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q;_ylt=AuNt41vPw5CssXXOAScRMvSxcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTB2Zms0cWdpBHBvcwMxBHNlYwNuZXdzQXJ0U3RhcnQEc2xrA2Nmc2c-?s=cfsg&amp;d=t" target="_blank">CFSG</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h;_ylt=Av.9mh2FBVuzyvwWCfnwaDmxcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTB2MWIxcnJxBHBvcwMyBHNlYwNuZXdzQXJ0U3RhcnQEc2xrA25ld3M-?s=cfsg" target="_blank">News</a><strong>;</strong> "China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced the Company signed a new engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") contract worth approximately US$4.4 million with Indian National Thermal Power Cooperation Limited ("NTPC") for fire protection solutions.</p>
<p>Under the contract, China Fire will serve as a total solution provider for the Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station ("Vindhyachal"), Stage IV (2 x 500 MW) project, in the State of Madhya Pradesh, India. China Fire will be responsible for implementing the entire fire protection system for the project, including design, engineering, manufacture, procurement, transportation, construction, inspection, commissioning, technical guidance and maintenance. China Fire will also provide its UL-certified linear heat detectors to ensure protection and safety from fire hazards for the project's entire facility. The project is expected to be completed within the next two and a half years.</p>
<p>NTPC is the largest power company in India, operating 22 power stations with total installed capacity of 30,644 MW. NTPC is also diversified into hydro power, coal mining, oil and gas exploration, power distribution and trading, and nuclear power development. Vindhyachal, after the recently-completed Stage III, today has a total capacity of 3,260 MW and is the largest power station in India. At the completion of Stage IV, which is estimated to cost approximately INR 59.15 billion (approximately USD$1.27 billion), NTPC's Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station's total capacity should increase to 4,260 MW.</p>
<p>"We are very pleased to announce our recent contract win with NTPC, the largest power company in India. This contract win further demonstrates the success of our international expansion strategy and our strong competitive position in the global fire protection industry," commented Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Officer of China Fire. "Although the Chinese government's recent limit on the iron and steel industry's capacity expansion may temporarily defer new contracts in our domestic market, we are excited about our momentum in the international markets. We believe India's enormously-unmet infrastructure needs will generate an abundance of new business opportunities across various industries. According to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Indian government will spend more than US$500 billion in new infrastructure projects, constructing and retrofitting the nation's power plants, iron and steel plants, airports, and transportation systems, which should create ample revenue prospects for China Fire in the Indian market."</p>
<p>"Furthermore, China Fire's UL-certified, proprietary linear heat detectors will provide us strong competitive advantages, enabling us to gain market share and better pricing in the Indian and other international markets. We are also encouraged by our growing market presence through our partnership in India, which has successfully developed strong client relationships and generated many new bid opportunities. We are confident that this contract win with NTPC combined with our previously announced $2.1 million contract win for BALCO Captive Power Plant in India can serve to further solidify our relationships and drive additional wins. We believe that our state-of-art technology, proprietary patent products, and market leadership will allow China Fire to expand its market presence and secure more contract wins in the near future, and ultimately to deliver strong and sustainable financial performance and generate more value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Brian Lin.</p>
<p>About Indian National Thermal Power Cooperation Limited ("NTPC")</p>
<p>NTPC, India's largest power company, was set up in 1975 to accelerate power development in India. It has emerged as an "Integrated Power Major", with a significant presence in the entire value chain of power generation business.

        <![CDATA[<p><br />- 2Q09 Revenue Increases 36.5% YoY to $22.7 Million <br />- 2Q09 Gross Margin Increases 260 Basis Points YoY to 63.8% <br />- 2Q09 Net Income Increases 24.9% YoY to $8.3 Million <br />- Raises FY09 EPS Forecast to $1.00 to $1.05 - <br /><br /><strong>BEIJING, Aug. 10 -- China Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFSG - News; "China Fire" or "the Company"),</strong> a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.</p>
<p>Second quarter 2009 Results</p>
<p>For the second quarter of 2009, revenue increased 36.5% to $22.7 million compared to $16.7 million for the same period in 2008, benefiting from higher sales of system contracting projects and products during the period. The Company recognized revenues from 205 total solution, product sales and maintenance contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 177 contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2008.</p>
<p>Gross margin for the second quarter of 2009 expanded 260 basis points to 63.8%, versus gross margin of 61.2% for the same period of 2008. This increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to higher total solution projects from iron and steel industry employing the Company's high-margin, proprietary products.</p>
<p>Operating income grew 45.1% to $9.6 million, from $6.6 million for the same period last year. Driven by the increase in revenue and higher gross margin, operating margin expanded 250 basis points to 42.1% from 39.6% a year ago. Operating expenses were $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2009, or 21.7% of total revenue, compared to $3.6 million, or 21.5% of total revenue for the same period of 2008. Tax expense was $1.4 million for an effective tax rate of 14.0%, compared to 0.2% a year ago.</p>
<p>Net income was $8.3 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 24.9%, as compared to $6.7 million for the same period of 2008. As a result, fully diluted EPS increased 24.4% to $0.29 in the second quarter of 2009, versus $0.24 in the second quarter of the prior year.</p>
<p>Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Office of China Fire commented, "I am very pleased with our second quarter results. The Chinese government's stimulus plan and the new amendment to the Fire Protection Law, which requires all fire protection products to pass compulsory product certification, has improved demand for our high quality systems, and increased bidding activities from our Tier-1 customers. With our greater and deeper expertise, we significantly improved our efficiency in the execution of large iron and steel projects and reached a new record high gross margin in the second quarter. Our backlog remains strong at $85 million at the end of June 2009, which provides extra confidence to our existing revenue forecast."</p>
<p>Liquidity and Capital Resources</p>
<p>As of June 30, 2009, the Company had cash of $27.8 million, working capital of $75.2 million, and zero debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.5 million in the same period of 2008.</p>
<p>Financial Outlook for 2009</p>
<p>For the full year 2009, the Company has reaffirmed its revenue guidance of $88 million to $95 million and raised its projected net income to a range of $28.3 million to $29.7 million, or $1.00 to $1.05 per diluted share, compared to the Company's previous earnings target of $0.93 to $1.00 per diluted share.</p>
<p>Mr. Lin commented, "We continue to be excited with the growth prospects in our core iron and steel market, and we continue to command firm pricing for our total solutions, as our gross margin continues to exceed our target range. We also are excited about our contract wins in the nuclear, power, petrochemical, and transportation verticals, as well as in the international market. We also have been actively working with a few select high-end customers to provide retrofitting systems for all their existing plants and provide fire protection maintenance safety services for all their facilities in light of the stricter regulations. We intend to sustain our current momentum and believe that our technical strengths and leading market position will enable us to seize more growth opportunities from the rebounding macro economy and industrial revitalization and consolidation plans. In addition, we are optimistic that our new Photoelectric Products Center will complete the development of several of our next generation products, including our Tri-Band Infrared Flame Detector, Infrared Combustible Gas Detector and Fiber-Optic-Based Linear Heat Detector.</p>
<p>"We are confident about our strategy and our technical expertise in fire safety. The Chinese government's stimulus plan and new loans have had a strong positive effect on domestic spending, which has resulted in increased manufacturing activity. Bidding activities at our Tier-1 customers continue to trend upward, and we continue to benefit from the accelerated infrastructure upgrades across our targeted verticals. As we continue to grow our leading brand, distribution, customer base, total solution offering, and competitive advantages in the rapidly growing Chinese industrial fire protection industry, I am excited about the remainder of 2009. We are confident that our growing cash position, healthy cash flows, and zero debt position us well for higher revenues, greater profits, and a stronger pipeline of expansion prospects, including additional international growth markets and strategic consolidation opportunities."</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>BEIJING, July 13 -- China Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFSG - News; "China Fire" or "the Company"),</strong> a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced that three of its linear heat detectors ("LHD") have passed the Underwriters Laboratories ("UL") laboratory test and were awarded UL Certifications.</p>
<p>China Fire's three products that were tested and certified by UL were its: Nonrestorable Fixed-Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector, Restorable Fixed-Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector and Restorable Rate of Rise &amp; Fixed-Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector. These products have many competitive advantages over peer products, including China Fire's proprietary "Rate of Rise in Temperature" technology that differentiates temperature rises caused by fire hazards from rises caused by environmental or non-dangerous sources, their superior operating distance and their automatic notifications sent to the monitoring system when maintenance and repairs are needed. China Fire's proprietary "Fixed-Temperature" technology also enables its LHDs to veritably "fix" their alarm temperature, so that it is not affected by heated cable length and ambient temperature as in competing products.</p>
<p>China Fire's LHDs have already won dozens of patents worldwide and enabled the Company to become one of China's leaders for national fire protection products. Domestically, China Fire's LHD products have influenced the industry standards and its proprietary LHDs have come to be considered irreplaceable in fire solution systems for the iron and steel industry.</p>
<p>"Achieving certification by Underwriters Laboratories, a world leader in product safety testing, is an important milestone in our company vision of persistent technology innovation and greater market positioning," commented Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Officer of China Fire. "As we mentioned during our previous earnings call, China Fire is actively pursuing fire protection projects and product sales in international markets, as well as diversifying the revenue stream and customer base by expanding into other verticals. UL certification will give China Fire a competitive advantage that enables us to gain more market share and better pricing in international markets and effectively help the Company expand into more industrial verticals and more complex environments. Moreover, UL Certification also serves as a criterion for the Company to be recognized by the government with a National Hi-Tech Company award, which would enable the Company to benefit from numerous favorable governmental policies. We believe that our cutting-edge technology, proprietary patent protection and our leadership in influencing national fire safety standards will continuously bring strong market position and lasting advantages that allow China Fire to deliver strong, sustainable, long-term financial performance, and ultimately to reward our investors with shareholder value."</p>

<p>BEIJING, May 11 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=cfsg&amp;d=t" target="_blank">CFSG</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h;_ylt=AkG.jk_EhW7zrAur_pyrUFCuMncA?s=cfsg" target="_blank">News</a><strong>;</strong> "China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.</p>
<p>First Quarter 2009 Results</p>
<p>For the first quarter of 2009, revenue increased 13.7% to $16.7 million compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2008, benefiting from higher sales of system contracting projects and maintenance services during the period.</p>
<p>Gross margin for the first quarter of 2009 expanded 690 basis points to 61.6%, versus gross margin of 54.7% for the same period of 2008.  The higher gross margin was mainly driven by enhanced execution efficiency in completing total solution contracting projects.</p>
<p>Operating income grew 33.5% to $6.2 million, from $4.6 million for the same period last year.  Driven by the increase in revenue and higher gross margin, operating margin expanded 550 basis points to 37.1% from 31.6% a year ago. Operating expenses were $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2009, or 24.5% of total revenue, compared to $3.4 million, or 23.1% of total revenue for the same period of 2008.  Tax expense was $0.8 million for an effective tax rate of 12.3%, compared to 1.0% a year ago.</p>
<p>Net income was $5.6 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 19.1%, as compared to $4.7 million for the same period of 2008.  As a result, fully diluted EPS increased 18.8% to $0.20 in the first quarter of 2009, versus $0.17 in the first quarter of the prior year.</p>
<p>Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Office of China Fire commented, "Given that the first quarter is seasonally the slowest period due to the Chinese New Year holidays, I am pleased that our first quarter results validate our growth strategy and demonstrate our sound execution.  Despite a tendency of customers to defer starting projects around the holiday season, during the quarter, we successfully executed large projects for two of our Tier-1 customers, Xinyu Iron and Steel Group and Capital Iron and Steel Group.  With our greater and deeper expertise, we significantly improved our efficiency in the execution of these key projects and substantially lowered our costs.  Consequently, our gross margin for the first quarter was a record high.  We also successfully expanded our customer base in product sales and maintenance services, and we exceeded our internal target for new contract wins during the quarter.  Our backlog, which includes winning bids, grew by $13 million, or 18%, sequentially, to $85 million at the end of March 2009.  We expect to convert a</p>
<p>majority of the total backlog to revenue in the remainder of 2009, which provides extra confidence to our existing forecast."</p>
<p>Liquidity and Capital Resources</p>
<p>As of March 31, 2009, the Company had working capital of $70 million and zero debt.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $ 1.8 million in the same period of 2008.  As a result, net cash increased $2.7 million to $29.4 million at the end of March 31, 2009, from $26.7 million at the end of 2008.</p>
<p>Financial Outlook for 2009</p>
<p>For the full year 2009, the Company reaffirms its revenue projection of $88 million to $95 million.  The Company also reaffirms that revenue will grow between 28% to 38%, and pre-tax income will grow between 22% to 32% to a range of $30.2 million to $32.6 million.  The Company estimates that assuming an effective tax rate of 13%, net income will grow between 7% to 15% to a range of $26.3 million to $28.4 million, or $0.93 to $1.00 per diluted share, based on 28.3 million shares.</p>
<p>"Supported by our strong new contract wins and record backlog, we remain confident about the business and the growth of the fire protection industry in China.  In our view, the Chinese government's stimulus plan has shown early signs of success, as bidding activities at our Tier-1 customers continue to trend up, and we continue to benefit from the accelerated infrastructure upgrades across our targeted verticals.  The recent sharp rise in CLAS's purchasing managers' index for China is another indicator that manufacturing in China is heading towards reacceleration.  We believe we are well positioned to capture revenue opportunities arising from improving market conditions.</p>
<p>We continue to be excited with the growth prospects in our core iron and steel market, and we continue to command firm pricing for our total solutions, as our gross margin continues to exceed our target range.  We also are excited with our contract wins in the nuclear, power, and petrochemical, as well as in the international market.</p>
<p>It is worth noting again that our strategy has been to focus on further expanding our brand, our market leadership, and our technical leadership in fire safety.  To that extent, we have built our industry's leading brand, distribution, total solution offering, and manufacturing capabilities.  We currently hold 76 patents with 37 patents pending.  We are confident that our growing cash position, healthy cash flows, and zero debt position us well for higher revenues, greater profits, and a stronger pipeline of expansion prospects, including strategic consolidation opportunities," concluded Mr. Lin.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>BEIJING, April 22 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=cfsg&amp;d=t" target="_blank">CFSG</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h;_ylt=AkG.jk_EhW7zrAur_pyrUFCuMncA?s=cfsg" target="_blank">News</a><strong>;</strong> "China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced that the Company has signed a contract worth approximately US$9.4 million with Jinan Iron &amp; Steel ("Jigang") for fire protection turn-key solutions.</p>
<p>Formed through a merger of three Shandong-based iron &amp; steel companies in 2000, Jigang is China's eighth-largest steel producer and is the leading exporter of medium and thick steel plates.  With an annual production capacity of 12 million tons of crude steel and products which include hot rolled steel and plate, anti-seawater corrosion hull plate, boiler plate, diamond plate, and round steel, Jigang sells mainly to the shipping, automobile, and construction industries.</p>
<p>As a key component of China's Eleventh Five-Year Plan for industrial upgrades and environmental protection, the government is vigorously pushing forward its restructuring program to upgrade China's iron &amp; steel companies and significantly reduce pollution emission.  Jigang's newest facility, with cutting-edge metallurgical technologies and modern furnaces, is an important demonstration of the program's progress. When fully completed, Jigang will have higher capacity, produce more varieties of steel products, and emit significantly lower levels of pollution.</p>
<p>Under this contract, China Fire will serve as a total fire protection solution provider and be responsible for implementing the entire automated fire protection system, including engineering, procurement, construction, monitoring, technical guidance and maintenance.  China Fire will provide a turn-key fire protection system, which includes the Company's analog linear fire detectors, fire-alarm monitoring and control system, and water mist fire-extinguishing system.  These systems will ensure that the entire production facility is safe from fire hazards and fully compliant with the new fire codes of the iron and steel industry.  The project is expected to be completed within the next 12 months.</p>
<p>"We're delighted to be the provider of turn-key fire protection for Jigang, as this contract win is another example of not only our leading market position but also the wide recognition of our technical expertise in implementing environmental-friendly projects," commented Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Officer of China Fire.  "Even in light of a higher emphasis on cost reduction by many manufacturers in the current macroeconomic environment, I'm pleased that we continue to command firm pricing in competitive wins, as we continue to provide an unmatched value proposition through our unique combination of leading brand, technical superiority, patented products and comprehensive fire protection solutions.</p>
<p>"This contract win is also a direct example of China's stimulus measures to bolster steel-reliant industries.  At the end of March 2009, China's State Council released details of its China Iron &amp; Steel Industry's Revitalization Scheme, which promotes total production control, encourages industry consolidations, and emphasizes the development of new technologies.  This stimulus plan provides financial subsidies and loan discounts to leading iron &amp; steel companies, allowing larger and more advanced steel producers to upgrade existing plants and to build new ground-breaking facilities, which has recently accelerated demand for our fully-compliant turn-key fire protection solutions.</p>
<p>"We are especially pleased to add another top steel producer to our significant Tier-1 customer base, and will continue to serve our clients with the best fire protection solutions available on the market.  As the government aims to create four iron &amp; steel giants -- all of which are major existing customers of ours, we believe that China Fire is well positioned to capture a large share of these sizable opportunities.  Our deep relationships with these giants and other advanced steel producers continue to further expand our market leadership, while our gainful technical know-how continues to bear new innovations in China's industrial fire protection.  At present, our turn-key systems can truly ensure that our customers' production facilities are fully compliant with China's new mandatory fire codes, and therefore, we believe that they are indispensable for new or recently-upgraded iron &amp; steel production facilities," Mr. Lin concluded.</p>

<p>BEIJING, March 11 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFSG - <span>News</span><strong>;</strong> "China Fire" or "the Company"), a leading total solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008.</p>
<p>Fourth Quarter 2008 Results</p>
<p>For the fourth quarter of 2008, revenue increased 48.7% to $21.0 million compared to $14.1 million for the same period in 2007.  The Company continued to benefit from its strong pipeline of new total solution projects, as well as, uninterrupted completion of milestones on large projects.  Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2008 was 54.0%, 110 basis points higher than the gross margin of 52.9% for the same period of 2007.  The increase in gross margin was mainly due to the use of a higher percentage of the Company's proprietary products that tend to contribute higher margins and the higher selling price of some of the Company's proprietary products.</p>
<p>Operating income was $6.2 million, representing a 55.2% increase from the same period last year.  Operating margins for the period expanded 120 basis points to 29.5% from 28.3% a year ago, primarily driven by the higher gross margin.  Operating expenses were $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, or 24.8% of total revenue, compared to $3.5 million, or 24.7% of total revenue for the same period of 2007.</p>
<p>Net income was $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, an increase of $2.8 million, or 69.2%, as compared to $4.0 million for the same period of 2007.  The increase was mainly driven by the strong revenue growth and higher gross margin.  As a result, fully diluted EPS increased 72.9% to $0.24 in the fourth quarter of 2008, versus $0.14 in the fourth quarter of the prior year.</p>
<p>Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Office of China Fire commented, "We are very pleased to report strong fourth quarter and full year financial results. Our record results in 2008 validate our organic growth strategy to increase market share in the rapidly growing Chinese industrial fire protection industry.</p>
<p>Despite general concerns of challenging times for the iron and steel industry, we are actually witnessing strong demand for our total solutions in this vertical, as some of our Tier-1 customers are receiving more government-subsidized funding, pickup in demand from the end of last year, and extra government support for consolidation.  As China continues to invest in upgrading the country's infrastructure, we are seeing real spending initiated by the government in the iron and steel, nuclear, power, petrochemical, and transportation sectors.  We believe that most of these infrastructure investments will directly benefit China Fire, as they all require fire protection products and services.  As such, we continue to be excited with the growth prospects in our core iron and steel market, and we continue to command firm pricing for our total solutions.  We also are excited with our success in winning sizeable contracts in the nuclear, power, petrochemical, and transportation verticals, as well as notable contract wins in the international market.  We are delighted with our strong financial position, which includes a growing cash position, no debt, and healthy cash flows.  We believe that we are in an excellent position to capture new revenue opportunities and benefit from strategic consolidation opportunities."</p>
<p>Full Year 2008 Results</p>
<p>Revenues for 2008 increased 47.8% to $69.1 million compared to $46.8 million for 2007.  During 2008, the Company fulfilled 333 total solution and product sales contracts compared to 274 contracts in 2007, primarily due to the increase in revenues from system contracting projects and maintenance services.  Gross margin for 2008 was 57.2%, 230 basis points higher than the gross margin of 54.9% in 2007, benefiting from a higher percentage of the Company's self-manufactured proprietary products sold, which contribute higher gross margins than outsourced products manufactured by the third party.</p>
<p>Operating income was $23.6 million for 2008, as compared to $14.9 million for 2007, an increase of $8.7 million or 58.3%, driven by the strong revenue growth and higher gross margin in 2008.  Operating margins in 2008 expanded 230 basis points to 34.1% compared to 31.8% in 2007, even while total operating expenses increased to $15.9 million as compared to $10.8 million in 2007.  The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to the increase in the Company's selling expense and R&amp;D expenditure during the period.</p>
<p>GAAP net income was $24.7 million for 2008 as compared to $16.8 million for 2007, representing an increase of $7.9 million or 47.0%.  Excluding a one-time non-cash gain of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the change in fair value of derivative instrument in the full year 2007, non-GAAP net income in 2008 increased 58.4% from $15.6 million in 2007.  GAAP fully diluted EPS increased 44.6% to $0.88 in 2008, compared to $0.61 in the prior year.</p>
<p>Liquidity and Capital Resources</p>
<p>As of December 31, 2008, the Company had working capital of $64.7 million and zero debt.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.4 million in 2008, compared to $9.8 million in 2007.  As a result, net cash increased $9.5 million to $26.7 million at the end of 2008, from $17.1 million at the end of 2007.</p>
<p>Financial Outlook for 2009</p>
<p>For the full year 2009, the Company anticipates revenue will grow between 28% to 38% to a range of $88 million to $95 million.  Pre-tax income is expected to grow between 22% to 32% to a range of $30.2 million to $32.6 million.  Assuming an effective tax rate of 13%, net income is estimated to grow between 7% to 15% to a range of $26.3 million to $28.4 million, or $0.93 to $1.00 per diluted share, based on 28.3 million shares.  The Company's effective tax rate in 2008 was 0.2%.</p>
<p>"We remain confident about the business and the growth of the fire protection industry in China.  Our strategy has been to focus on further expanding our brand, our market leadership, and our technical leadership in fire safety.  To that extent, we have built our industry's leading brand, distribution, total solution offering, and manufacturing capabilities.  We currently hold 76 patents with 37 patents pending.  Our initiatives position us well for higher revenues, greater profits, and a stronger pipeline of expansion opportunities.</p>
<p>In the coming year, we will continue to implement our proven strategy, as demand in our core markets continues to grow, and our competitive advantages and leadership profile continue to expand.  We will continue to focus on our core Tier-1 customers in China's iron and steel industry, expand into our targeted complementary verticals, invest in technology innovations, influence the development of new fire standards, and actively pursue domestic and international fire protection projects.  As we pursue our future growth opportunities, we remain highly focused on optimizing our balance sheet and maximizing cash flows.  We are encouraged with our opportunities in 2009 and look forward to expanding our market position in the year ahead," concluded Mr. Lin.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>BEIJING, March 3 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Fire &amp; Security Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFSG - <span>News</span><strong>;</strong> ''China Fire'' or the ''Company''), a leading industrial fire protection product and solution provider in China, today announced that the Company has signed a total solution contract worth approximately USD$4.4 million with Dongbei Special Steel Group Co., Ltd (''Tegang'') for automated fire protection systems.</p>
<p>Formed through a merger of three northeast-Chinese iron &amp; steel companies in 2004, Tegang is a multi-billion dollar producer of high-grade specialized steel and is the largest special steel company in northern China.  With three production plants located in Dalian, Fushun and Beiman of Liaoning Province, Tegang has an annual production capacity of 3.3 million tons of crude steel and 3 million tons of special steel products, including stainless steel bars, steel tools, steel molds, steel springs, and steel bearings.  Tegang's customers are primarily manufacturers of aviation, navigation, nuclear power, conventional weaponry, petrochemical, electronics, instruments and appliances, light textile, and automotive products.</p>
<p>In early 2008, as part of a key restructuring program pushed by the government to upgrade China's iron &amp; steel companies and significantly reduce pollution emission in urban areas, Tegang began relocating its main production facility within Dalian to a site in the city's outskirts. When completed, the new production facility will have higher capacity, will be able to recycle all steel slag and will emit a significantly lower level of pollution, on par with strict European emission standards.</p>
<p>Under this contract with Tegang, China Fire will serve as a total fire protection solution provider and be responsible for implementing the entire automated fire protection system for its Dalian environmental relocation program, including engineering, procurement, construction, monitoring, technical guidance and maintenance.  China Fire will provide a turn-key fire protection system, which includes the Company's analog linear fire detectors, fire-alarm monitoring and control system, and water mist fire-extinguishing system.  These systems will ensure that the entire production facility is safe from fire hazards and fully compliant with the new fire codes of the iron and steel industry.  The project is expected to be completed within the next 12 months.</p>
<p>''We are excited about the opportunity to provide our automated fire protection systems for Tegang,'' commented Mr. Brian Lin, Chief Executive Officer of China Fire.  ''Riding on the strengths of our leading brand, technical superiority, patented products and comprehensive fire protection solutions, we continue to win competitive bids and command firm pricing.</p>
<p>''Although the demand for low-grade iron &amp; steel has sharply declined, demand for Tegang's high-grade special steel products continues to grow healthily, driven directly by the government's massive 4-trillion Yuan (USD$585 billion) stimulus measures to bolster steel-reliant industries such as automobile and transportation.  According to industry observers, approximately half of the stimulus package will be allocated for investments into steel-consuming infrastructure construction projects.  In addition, China's State Council is expected to release in early March The China Iron &amp; Steel Industry's Revitalization Scheme, which will provide financial subsidies and loan discounts to leading iron &amp; steel companies.</p>
<p>''Furthermore, the government is keen on promoting energy efficiency and pollution reduction.  However, most iron &amp; steel companies in China today are still located in urban areas and continue to operate inefficient and dated facilities that waste energy and emit dangerous levels of pollution.  As such, the government is actively pushing for their upgrades and relocations, which creates strong demand for our solutions.</p>
<p>''Our fire protection systems can truly ensure that our customers' production facilities are fully compliant with China's new mandatory fire codes, and therefore, we believe that they are indispensable for new or recently-upgraded iron &amp; steel production facilities.  We are especially pleased to add another top steel producer to our significant Tier-1 customer base, and will continue to serve our clients with the best fire protection solutions available on the market,'' Mr. Lin concluded.</p>
