("ZST" or the "Company"), a major developer, manufacturer and supplier of digital and optical network equipment to cable system operators and provider of GPS tracking devices and support services for transport-related enterprises in China, today issued an update to investors on recent developments at the Company. As previously announced, ZST Digital and BDO China Dahua, CPA Co. Ltd. ("BDO China"), the Company's former auditor, had a disagreement over an audit procedure during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company regrets the outcome of this situation.

Mr. Zhong Bo, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support during this challenging period. Since the company was founded, we have delivered steady and profitable growth, supported by favorable local government policies, and we have run our business in an ethical manner with a focus on transparency and disclosure. All of these factors have helped us to not only win the support of the local government but the trust and appreciation of our customers. We have built a solid foundation and our business remains fundamentally sound. We firmly believe that the recent challenges we have faced are temporary in nature, and we have confidence in the continued leadership of our Board of Directors and management team.
