Commenting on the results, Xiao Gang, Chief Executive of
BlueStar said:
"Despite the revenue and net profit of the Group in this
financial year being better than the same period last year, the
result did not meet management's expectation. 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.
Management of the group's receivables continues to be a challenge
and working capital management is aided by the continued commitment
of our banks.
"Looking at our current contracts and order book, the Company
believes the business for the next financial year will benefit from
an investment in expanding the group's channel sales business. The
Company will keep on working hard to expand its market share, to
tighten the cost control and to address working capital
management."

Chairman's Statement
The financial year 2013 has been another challenging year for
our business, although we continue to win new contracts and new
clients. Throughout the year, the Company has intended to increase
its revenue in two ways: one is to continue to win more banking
clients; the other is to grow the group's channel sales business.
During the last year, the channel sales team has increased from 18
to 54 members and the team has stepped up its marketing activities
with Exhibition activities and trade fairs conducted in around 30
cities to actively expand the recognition of BlueStar's brand. The
group's target customers for its channel sales services are the
utility and power industries, police and intelligent services.
After a whole year preparation work on channel sales, we are
confident that FY2014 will see reasonable growth in channel sales.
In the meantime, the group has also actively looked to control
costs and tighten its cost control systems. We hope that these
initiatives will create a firm foundation for the year ahead.
Our revenue and profit before tax were slightly higher than the
previous year. We continue to focus our business in the banking,
police, and government security agency sector and continue to
provide high quality software, products and services to our
customers. During the year, BlueStar was awarded ten copyrights in
respect of its new software solutions for advanced networking
platforms and intelligent management functions. In November 2012,
BlueStar was named in the China Public Security Magazine as one of
the "Ten most influential DVR brands in China 2012."
We will continue to streamline our management practices and
improve operational efficiency aiming at being even more responsive
to our customers' needs.
We are sincerely grateful to our customers and stakeholders for
their continued long term trust and support. We would particularly
like to thank our workforce for their commitment and dedication to
customer service.

Financial Review
For the year ended 31 March 2013, revenue was up on the previous
year by 5% to RMB 186 million (2012: RMB 176 million) and profit
after tax up by 60% to RMB 3.3 million (2012: RMB 2.0 million).
Gross profit for the year ended 31 March 2013 was RMB 86 million
(2012: RMB 90 million) and average gross profit margins for the
period decreased from 51% in 2012 to 46%.
The declined gross profit margin is mainly driven by rising
costs which we were unable to pass through to our customers. The
principal increase in input costs is expected to be short term as
it was a result of devastating floods in Thailand during 2011,
which have adversely impacted the technology sector across the
world as it has led to higher hard disk costs. The new channel
sales of equipment and IPC also contributed to lower profit margin.
However it will improve the Company's cash flow in the future.
The overall operating expense has reduced by 8% as the Company
has been undertaking a series of cost reductions including reducing
the executive directors' salaries by 30% and the non-executive
directors' salaries by 50%.
BlueStar maintained its expenditure on research and development
and, as planned, during the year, the Company's investment in
R&D amounted to RMB 18 million (2012: RMB 19 million) of which
RMB 11 million was capitalised (2012: RMB 10 million).
During the year, BlueStar has invested RMB 1.5 million (2012:
RMB 1.0 million) mainly in conjunction with our cooperation with
the Kaiyuan Company ("Kaiyuan"), a partner that has been appointed
by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau as its sole
security service provider for the financial sector in Beijing. The
investment has principally been in the setting up of Kaiyuan hubs
and the replacement of old office equipment and renovation of part
of our production facilities.
Finance costs for the financial year ended 31 March 2013 were
RMB 2.5 million (2012: RMB 1.7 million). This was largely
attributable to an increase in payments of interest on bank loans
during the current period.
The Company has a total of RMB 40 million short term bank loans
(March 2012: 30 million) of which RMB 20 million from Bank of
Beijing, RMB 10 million from China Minsheng Banking Corporation
(CMBC) and RMB 5 million from each of Bank of Beijing Trust and
China Merchants Bank.
Profit before tax
In view of the above, the group recorded a profit before tax of
RMB 7.0 million for the year 2013 as compared with profit before
tax of RMB 4.6 million for the corresponding period in 2012.
Earnings per share for the period was 4.47 fen (2012: 2.79
fen).
Trade receivables increased to RMB 77 million at 31 March 2013
(2012: RMB 63 million) and accrued income increased by 7% to RMB
177 million at 31 March 2013 (2012: RMB 166 million). During last
year, RMB 185 million outstanding debtors have been received. Our
rise in accrued income is directly related to the Group working
with banks, government security agencies projects and contracts
which result in a lengthened working capital cycle. In addition,
customers in the banking sector have been slow payers historically,
and as such, it normally takes the Company a longer period to
collect the receivables.
For outstanding debtors which the Company has issued an invoice
to the customer, the debtor days are 152 days (FY 2012: 131 days);
for total outstanding debtors including accrued income, the debtor
days are 500 days (FY 2012: 475 days). Despite the increase in
debtor days, the cash receipts in the first quarter after the
reporting period is RMB34.5 million compare to same period in
previous year of RMB19.7 million. The Company has requested that
banking clients change their payment policies by paying us in
installments instead of paying only when the project is finished as
before. Working capital management continues to be a challenge and
this is an area where management are looking at ways in which
improvements - specifically in collection of receivables can be
made.
Inventories at the year end were RMB 41 million (2012: RMB 35
million), representing an increase in inventories to meet the
demand of an increased volume of equipment & IPC sales. This
has led to shorter delivery lead time and therefore improved
customer satisfaction.
At the end of the financial year, the Company's cash position
was RMB 27 million (2012: RMB 51 million).
The Company's total liabilities of RMB 104 million include RMB 2
million of deferred consideration relating to acquisition of KeAn
in year 2010 where the performance criteria has been extended for
another two years and RMB 40 million short-term bank loan (2012:
RMB 30 million).
Intangible assets increased from RMB 39 million at 31 March 2012
to RMB 43 million at 31 March 2013. The increase was mainly due to
the development of new software to be embedded within our
equipment.
Net cash used in operating activities was RMB 22 million for the
year (2012: RMB 14 million).
Operating Review
Research and Development
As a leading surveillance network solutions provider, BlueStar
has continued to win customers through its proven TRENDLINE(R)
series of products and comprehensive networking solutions, which
are primarily supported by the Company's continued investment in
R&D. During the year, the Company's investment in R&D
amounted to RMB 18 million, of which RMB 11 million was
capitalised. This compares to RMB 19 million being invested in the
prior year, of which RMB 10 million was capitalised.
Within the year, the second-generation intelligent video
analysis technology has been full-scale applied by our Company
across a range of existing products within our range.
In August 2011,we released a series of HD IP cameras including a
gun-type HD IP camera, mispheric and spherical HD IP camera, all of
which support the 1080P HD real-time video. Making use of the
digital storage technology, we have released HDVR which is
compatible with analog and HD IP cameras, We have also released NVR
for HD IP cameras.
In April 2013, Blustar was awarded ten copyrights in respect of
its new software solutions for advanced networking platforms and
intelligent management functions. The copyrights included Tulip-HD
Network Video Recorder; Dave-Network Dome Camera; TulipB-HD Hybird
Video Recorder; Video Quality Diagnostics System; Device Auto
Finder Systerm; BPlayer4.0-Video Surveillance System;
Daniel-Network Dome Camera; Victor-IR Bullet HD Network Camera;
Mobile Surveillance Software based on Android System and IP Camera
Simulator.
Reflecting on the success of the Company's efforts in product
research and development, BlueStar was named in the China Public
Security Magazine as one of the "Ten Most Influential Brands of DVR
in China 2012".
Business Development
During the year the Company won several crucial contracts with
state-owned banking giants throughout China as follow:
-Two contracts signed with The Bank of China worth RMB 9.60
million and RMB 18.14 million for installing surveillance equipment
for ATM machines in 2012;
-A contract with the China Construction Bank-Liao Ning Branch,
worth RMB 4.87 million;
-A contract with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank -Chengdu
Branch worth RMB 1.67 million;
-A major contract with Bank of Beijing, Beijing Branch, worth
RMB 4.96 million for approximately 165 sub-branches in Beijing, in
order to build up a network between the sub-branches and the head
office command center;
- A contract with China Construction Bank-Guangxi Branch, worth
RMB 1.99 million;
- A contract with Bank of China-Hainan Branch, worth RMB 2.48
million to provide DVR equipment for its branch network command
center; and
-New framework contracts with several Chinese banks, including
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China-Fujian Branch, China
Everbright Bank, China Merchants Bank, and Ping An Bank, to provide
and install our leading edge surveillance equipments.
These important contracts win highlight and reinforce BlueStar's
market leading position in the provision of surveillance solutions
to the Chinese banking sectors.
Strategy
In the past financial year, the Group's core strategy remained
focused on growth in the banking sector and government security
agencies sector within China, through expansion in Tier-II and
Tier-III cities.
The regulations introduced by the Ministry of Public Security
("MPS") currently require continuous video coverage of certain
transactions, especially cash transactions. In particular these
requirements include:
l The mandatory replacement of existing video surveillance
systems by systems employing embedded DVRs after every five years
to prevent systems becoming obsolete;
l A one-to-one policy, whereby every cash counter and ATM must
have one exclusive camera, which must be connected to one dedicated
DVR unit;
l All new systems must be DVR systems that may be connected
electronically into a network.
The Directors believe that the technical demands of the banking
segment are particularly stringent in terms of DVR-based video
surveillance technology due to the legislative and security
requirements imposed by the government and that this presents an
ongoing opportunity to the Group. The banking segment includes in
total 270,000 bank branches and ATMs spread throughout 30 provinces
in China. The Directors believe this geographic dispersion provides
good opportunities for the sale of networked DVRs as banks focus on
the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of centralising their video
surveillance activities. BlueStar continuously enhanced the
software further by tailoring them for industry specific
solutions.
The Company has also expanded its channel sales team throughout
the year. The sales person increased from 18 in 2012 to 54 in 2013.
It has generated RMB 11 million for the Company in FY 2013 on
channel sales section.
Surveillance Command Centre
The Company's cooperation agreement with Kaiyuan marks the
expansion of its business from product-driven into providing
surveillance services. BlueStar and Kaiyuan have established a new
surveillance command centre in Beijing using BlueStar's existing
technology in conjunction with Kaiyuan's mobile security staff.
BlueStar's equipments will enable Kaiyuan to provide a range of
round-the-clock operational services including remote video
monitoring, intercom, alarm handling and the automatic inspection
of cash ATM surveillance systems to new banking outlets. In
returns, BlueStar will receive a monthly fee for each financial
outlet subscribing to the service.
The surveillance command center which has been established by
BlueStar and Kaiyuan in Beijing has been fully operational since
July 2009. To date, approximately one thousand financial outlets
have been linked to the centre's services and have been charged the
service fee, generating recurring service fees for the Company of
RMB 2.41 million (FY2012: RMB 1.67 million) over the period.
Awards
During the year, BlueStar won a number of awards, commendations
and accreditations. These include:
- November 2012: BlueStar was named as one of the "Ten most
influential surveillance DVR brands in China" for the third year,
in a list sponsored by China Public Security Magazine. The final
list of ten companies is made up of the best performing, most
innovative and highest quality products;
- November 2012: Awarded "A quality-trusted surveillance product
enterprise in China" & "Famous Surveillance Product Brand in
China" by Security & Protection Market Magazine;
- November 2012: Awarded the "2012 China Safe City Construction
Recommendation Brand Status" by China Security & Protection
Industry Association; and
- June 2012: Awarded the "AAA-level Credit Enterprise" by
Beijing Security & Protection Industry Association.
Outlook
Despite the revenue and net profit of the Group in this
financial year being better than same period last year, but the
result did not meet the management's expectation. 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. Management of the group's receivables continues to be a
challenge and working capital management is aided by the continued
commitment of our banks.
Looking at our current contracts and order book, the Company
believes the business for next financial year will be getting
improved with expanding channel sales business. The Company will
keep on working hard to expand its market share, to tighten the
cost control and to address working capital management.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

Profit attributable to equity holders
of the company 3,254 2,034
Weighted average number of shares
in issue (thousands) 72,808 72,808
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.
5. SHARE CAPITAL
The total authorised number of ordinary shares is 72,808,000
shares (2012: 72,808,000 shares) with a nil par value per share
