On Aug 10 the company reported second-quarter results that included a 37% increase in revenue, to $22.7 million. Contract volume is up to 205 for the quarter, compared to 177 in the same period last year.

Net income rose $1.7 million, or 25%, to $8.3 million for the period. This equated to 29 cents per share, 6 cents higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate and 5 cents higher than last year.

Help From the Stimulus Plan

China Fire's CEO, Brian Lin, said, "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."

These projections show expected growth rates of 20% and 24%, respectively. China Fire and Security is set to report quarterly results on the 10th of November.
