ANV Security Group Announces 2012 Financial Results

SHENZHEN, China, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ANV Security Group (OTCBB: ANVS), a leading developer and global supplier of Internet cloud-based intelligent video and alarm monitoring technology, announces today its year end financial results for 2012.

For the year ended 2012, the Company posted revenues of $185,000, compared with no revenue in 2011, and more than 40,000 subscriber locations registered for its Global Intelligent Eye (GIE) service in China. The Company also announces that 2013 will see significant technological advances for its service offerings, namely affordable intelligent biometric monitoring solutions for its subscribers.

2012 revenues increased YoY from $0 to $185,000. The Company's gross margins improved to 93%. YoY Per share loss increased to $0.12, compared with $0.07 in 2011. Losses can be attributed due to a now-discontinued operation.

"We expect the Company to be profitable by the end of 2013," said Chairman Wilson Wang, adding, "We are currently operating at break even and continue to add new customers every day. Our shareholders will be rewarded with stronger share performance in the coming quarters as we accelerate growth and become profitable while adding new features and services to our product offerings."

By realizing revenues, ANV Security Group is well poised to continue its strong growth in the emerging market of China where it has the first mover advantage. The Company's strong financial performance since it divested of the low margin manufacturing business and focused on its core R&D and service offerings will only continue to improve going forward.

Through the Company's ongoing R&D efforts, in the coming months affordable intelligent biometric monitoring features will be added to the capabilities of the various front end sensors supported on the ANVS system architecture. Those capabilities will include smart recognition of family members for household users and employee confirmation and behavior tracking for businesses. These highly advanced features will no longer be cost prohibitive to the majority of users.

"We achieved several major milestones last year, and are looking for similar success in 2013," commented Mr. Wang. He also added, "Research and Development are the foundation of our business, and it is through these advances that we will continue to attract and retain a larger customer base in both the household and enterprise customer segments."
