Regulations promulgated by governmental agencies in China relating to the surveillance and safety industry often create opportunities for us. Currently, there are a number of current and planned regulations that the Company believes offer significant growth opportunities. These include the estimated $6 billion to $12 billion that the Chinese government expects to spend for surveillance and safety infrastructure in preparation for the planned investment by Shanghai for the 2010 Worlds Fair. In addition, several ordinances have been passed by the Chinese government which require surveillance and safety systems to be installed in: (1) approximately 660 cities throughout China for street surveillance; (2) all entertainment locations starting from March 1, 2006; (3) all Justice Departments and Courts; and (4) all coal mines in China (currently estimated at 24,000) from the beginning of 2008.
