Business Outlook
The oilfield engineering and technical service industry is generally divided into five sections: (1) exploration, (2) drilling and completion, (3) testing and logging, (4) production, and (5) oilfield construction. Thus far RCON's businesses have only been involved in production. Management of Recon believes it's time to expand core business, move into new markets, and develop new businesses. They also believe that many existing wells and oilfields need to improve or renew their equipment and service to maintain production and our techniques and services will be needed as new oil and gas fields are developed. Furthermore, the Several Opinions of the State Council on Encouraging and Guiding the Healthy Development of Private Investment (the "New 36 Guidelines on Non-State-owned Economy") promulgated in 2010 by the State encourages private investors to take part in oil and natural gas construction, and supports private enterprise investors entering into exploration and development of oilfield area. As exploration of oil and gas fields involves a wide range of professional technologies, it is expected that in the future the private investors investing in oil and gas field exploration will seek out general contracting and integrated services. This will bring RCON new opportunities to the integrated service projects.

Non GAAP EBITDA
Since fiscal year 2010, RCON begins to report Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations before income tax expense, interest expense, non-cash stock compensation expense, and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. RCON thinks it useful to an equity investor in evaluating our operating performance because: (1) it is widely used by investors in oil field service industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired; and (2) it helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results.

Non GAAP EBITDA
Since fiscal year 2010, RCON begins to report Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations before income tax expense, interest expense, non-cash stock compensation expense, and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. RCON thinks it useful to an equity investor in evaluating our operating performance because: (1) it is widely used by investors in oil field service industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired; and (2) it helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results.
