Interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2012

BlueStar SecuTech, Inc. (AIM: BSST), ("BlueStar", "the Company" or "the Group") a leading provider of digital video surveillance solutions in China, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2012.

Financial Highlights

   !   Revenue for the period up by 4.7% to RMB 82.8million (2011: RMB 79.1 million) 
   !   Gross Profit for the period down by 15.4% to RMB 35.7 million (2011: RMB 42.2 million) 
   !   Loss before tax for the period is RMB 4.0 million (2011: profit RMB 0.4 million) 
   !   Cash at period end of RMB 20.1 million (2011: RMB 37.5 million) 

Mr. Xiao Gang, CEO of BlueStar commented:

"Despite the revenue of the Group in the first half this financial year being better than same period last year, the Company is making a loss. The main reason is due to the decline in gross profit caused by rising costs , as well as an increase in interest payments on the Company's bank debts. Looking at our current contracts and order book, the Company believes the second half year will still be a challenging period for its business and net profits for the full year 2013 are now expected to be significantly lower than the board's original forecasts. The Company will keep on working hard to expand its market share and also to reduce costs."

Chairman's statement

Operational Review

Revenue in the six months ended 30 September 2012 increased to RMB 82.8 million from RMB 79.1 million, in the same period last year.

Although the revenues are higher than comparatives for the same period last year, the increased hard disk cost and the increased labor cost had led to a loss for this period.

During the period, the Group won a number of major contracts totaling over RMB 16.23 million, of which RMB 9.58 million was recognised as revenue by the Company in the period. Of particular note were contracts signed with The Bank of China worth RMB 9.60 million and a contract with the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (Chengdu Branch) worth RMB 1.67 million, and a contract with Bank of Beijing worth RMB4.96 million forapproximately 165 sub-branches in Beijing, in order to build up a network between the sub-branches and the head office command center.

In addition, since the period end, the Group has signed one more contract with China Construction Bank, Guangxi Branch (RMB 1.99 million) to serve as the general contractor and systems integrator of the surveillance network in China and has signed a contract with Bank of China, Hainan Branch (RMB 2.48 million) to provide DVR equipment for its branch network command center.

The surveillance command centre BlueStar established in Beijing in February 2009 with Kaiyuan Company is now fully operational. To date, 1,077 financial outlets have been connected to the centre and 939 of them have begun using the centre's services, generating recurring service fees for BlueStar of RMB 0.98 million for the period. The Company estimates that a further 135 outlets will begin using the centre's services by the end of this financial year, and the total annual recurring revenue will be approximately RMB 2 million .

Financial review

Revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2012 amounted to RMB 82.8 million compared to RMB 79.1 million in the same period of last year. Operating loss was RMB 3.2 million in the first half of 2012, compared to RMB 0.7 million profit in the same period 2011.

Gross profit for the period was RMB 35.7 million (2011: RMB42.2 million) with an average gross profit margin of 43.2% (2011: 53.4%). The declined gross profit margin is mainly driven by rising costs especially from the rising cost of the hard disk due to the devastating floods in Thailand during 2011, which have affected the technology business across the world. The Company's social insurance contribution has also increased due to new government policy. In order to address the decreased gross profit levels, the Company is undertaking a series of cost reductions, including reducing the executive directors' salaries by 30% and the non-executive directors' salaries by 50%.

BlueStar has always invested in research and development (R&D) and, as planned, during the period, the Company's investment in R&D amounted to RMB 8.8 million (2011: RMB 10.9 million) of which RMB 4.2 million was capitalised (2011: RMB 5.8 million).

Finance cost

Finance cost for the six months ended 30 September 2012 was RMB 1.19 million (2011: RMB 0.64 million). This was largely attributable to an increase in payments of interest on bank loans during the current period; in the same period last year, interest only became payable from June 2011, which contributed to the marked increase in payments for current period.

The Company has a total of RMB 30 million short term bank loans ( March 2012: 30 million) of RMB 10 million from each of Bank of Beijing and China Minsheng Banking Corporation (CMBC) and RMB 5 million from each of Bank of Beijing Trust and China Merchants Bank.

Current assets and liabilities

Trade receivables increased to RMB 275 million at the period end (2011: RMB 234 million). Debtor days increased during the period to 608 days (2011: 539 days). With the fourth quarter of the calendar year traditionally a period of significant cash collection for companies in China, the Company is expecting that approximately 50% of the outstanding debtors will be received by the end of March 2013.

Balance for the inventory is RMB 31million (2011: RMB 33 million) which is consistent with the Group undertaking more network projects. A higher inventory level is required to ensure each project runs smoothly and has the added benefit of shortening delivery lead times and improving overall client satisfaction.

Intangible assets increased from RMB 39 million at 31 March 2012 to RMB 40 million at 30 September 2012. The increase was mainly due to the developed of the copyrights.

Profit before tax

In view of the above, the group recorded a loss before tax of RMB 4.0 million for the first half year 2012 as compared with profit before tax of RMB 0.4 million for the corresponding period in 2011.

Cash and bank balance of the Group decreased from RMB 37.5 million at 30 September 2011 to RMB 20.1 million at 30 September 2012.

Outlook

Looking ahead to the second half of 2012, despite the revenue of the Group in the first half of 2012 is better than same period of last year; the Group is still making a loss in the first half of FY 2013 which is mainly driven by rising cost. The company believes the second half year will still be a challenging period for its business and that net profits for the full year 2013 will be significantly lower than the board's original forecasts. The company will keep on working hard to expand our market share and also to reduce cost. We hope to create a firm foundation for the year through with this hard work.

Liu Xiaochuan, Chairman

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The dilutive potential ordinary shares in the Company are share options. A calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated above is compared with the number of shares that would have issued assuming the exercise of the share options. The exercise prices for the options granted are above the average share price of the company. As a result of this there is no diluted effect. The weighted average number of shares in issue is the number of shares issued.
