FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

China Precision Steel Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Results

SHANGHAI, China, November 19, 2013 – China Precision Steel, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPSL) (“China Precision Steel” or the “Company”), a niche precision steel processing Company principally engaged in producing and selling high precision, cold-rolled steel products, announced today its fiscal year 2014 first quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2013.

First Quarter Highlights

“We are pleased to report first quarter fiscal 2014 sales increased 97.5% from the first quarter fiscal 2013 as sales volume increased by 12,696 tons. We expect to continue to experience a gradual increase in our sales volume during fiscal 2014 as we reposition our products and rebuild our relationship with customers,” commented Mr. Hai Sheng Chen, CEO of China Precision Steel. “Specifically, we believe the auto components industry, driven by robust demand from OEMs coupled with growth in the replacement market, offers us opportunity for future growth. We are working to expand our sales for our high carbon precision steel products in this segment by ramping up our sales and marketing efforts along with making improvements to further refine the precision and consistency of our products to meet customers’ stricter requirements.”

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $11.8 million, up from revenue of $6.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The increase in sales revenues period-on-period is a direct result of management’s sales and marketing efforts across the domestic market. Total sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was 20,449 tons, up from total sales volume of 7,753 tons in the prior period. High carbon and low carbon sales accounted for 43.4% and 52.9% of total sales, respectively, compared to 42.9% and 53.4%, respectively, period-on-period. Exports represented 4% of total sales for the current period, down from 19% in the same period a year ago as the continued appreciation of RMB negatively impacted the Company’s competitiveness in the international market.

Gross loss in the first quarter was $3.0 million, compared to gross loss of $1.5 million in the same period a year ago. Gross loss margin for the current period was 25.4%, compared to a gross loss margin of 24.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The slight increase in gross loss margin is due to a 25.1% period-on-period decrease in average selling price as steel prices in China dropped to a 5-year low during the period. Average selling price for the quarter was $575 per ton, down from $768 per ton in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 while the average cost per unit sold was $722 per ton, down from $957 per ton in the same period a year ago.

Selling expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014were $31,168 compared to $29,273 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The increase in selling expenses was primarily attributable to higher transportation costs and traveling expenses period-on-period. Administrative expenses increased slightly to $447,393, or 3.8% of revenue, compared to $442,615, or 7.4% of revenue period-on-period.

Operating loss for the current quarter was $8.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $9.6 million, compared to net loss of $4.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Fully diluted loss per share was $2.47, compared to fully diluted loss per share of $1.09 in the same period a year ago.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2013, China Precision Steel had $66,496 in cash and cash equivalents and $72.0 million in total liabilities. Stockholders’ equity stood at $43.5 million, compared to $53.0 million as of June 30, 2013. Cash generated from operating activities during the first three months of fiscal year 2014 was $55,331.

Business Outlook

China Precision Steel is focused on expanding its customer base in the domestic steel market, especially in the auto components segment. The Company is working to recover its outstanding accounts receivables and has tightened its credit policy requiring customers to pay a 30% - 40% deposit with the balance to be paid on delivery. As of September 30, 2013, China Precision Steel had a backlog of $8.2 million.

“We are working diligently to turnaround our operations by focusing our efforts on increasing sales of high carbon precision steel products and improving our gross margin. As our sales volume increases, our average cost of sales decreases as a result of economies of scale, which we expect will contribute to an improvement in our gross margin. Additionally, we are working on strengthening our balance sheet by tightening credit offered to new customers and recovering outstanding accounts receivable,” Mr. Chen continued. “Even though China’s economic growth is starting to show signs of rebounding and sales are strengthening, our outlook remains cautious as the steel industry continues to struggle with overcapacity combined with pressure on steel prices. However, addressing these problems remains a top priority for the country’s leaders who have stopped approving new production facilities, suspended unauthorized projects and are closing outdated steel mills.”
