    [1]       We define Non GAAP net income
              as net income (loss) adjusted
              for income tax expense,
              interest expense, loss from
              investment, non-cash stock
              compensation expense,
              depreciation and
              amortization. Detailed
              explanation of the Company's
              non-GAAP financial measures
              and related reconciliations
              to net income are included in
              the accompanying "Adjusted
              EBITDA" part and in our
              10Q.We think it is useful to
              an equity investor in
              evaluating our operating
              performance because: (1) it
              is widely used by investors
              in our 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.

"We're very pleased to continue improving our net profit in the quarter, as it was up almost 100% for the first half of fiscal year 2014," said Mr. Yin, CEO of Recon Technology. "We have been expanding our client base actively since last year, and our newly developed clients, such as Jilin Petroleum Group, North China Bureau of CNPC and Southwest Oil and Gas Branch of Sinopec, contributed more than half to our furnaces and automation business increase. As we strengthen our design capacity and service offerings, we believe our leading position in the furnace and oilfield automation segment will be consolidated.

"Our onsite service business, mainly focused on the fracturing segment, is well underway. We have achieved new contracts. Also, our cooperation with Baker Hughes has expanded to additional down well services, such as milling. Through these collaborative experimental projects with well-known international companies, our working performance and solutions can continue to improve, which will position us for new business opportunities from our oilfield clients.

"As to the coming year, we are still positive and confident," Mr. Yin continued. "According to the 2014 Energy Task Guidance of China's National Energy Bureau, the government's goals include increasing oil and gas production, improving proven ratios and extraction rates, encouraging the development of unconventional oil and gas resources and accelerating construction of oil and gas infrastructures. These points are quite favorable for our industry and our business. Our business operates mainly in China's northeast, northwest and Bohai Bay districts, where China's major producing oil and gas fields are located. Recon's product lines mainly focus on helping our clients improve extraction rates and reduce production costs. Over the years, our products and services have been well-received by our clients, and we will continue to devote our efforts as professional technology and service integrators."

Q2 FY2014 Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of FY2013 increased slightly to RMB46.3 million ($7.6 million). Revenues from automation business and furnaces were quite strong, increasing 50%. Overall, our newly developed clients, Jilin Petroleum Group, Qinghai Oilfield and Southwest Branch of Sinopec, contributed most of our increasing business.

Gross profit increased to approximately RMB16.5 million ($2.7 million) for the second quarter of FY2014, up 17.9% from the same period of FY2013. Gross margin increased to 35.7% for the second quarter of FY2014 from 30.5% for the same period in FY2013. The improvement in overall gross margin was mainly due to software and furnace sales contributing to a higher portion of total revenues.

Selling and distribution expenses increased by 37.7%, from approximately RMB1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 to approximately RMB2.3 million ($0.4 million) for the second quarter of FY2014. This increase was primarily due to increased shipping charge and service charges. General and administrative expenses increased by 48.5%, or RMB1.2 million ($0.2 million), from approximately RMB2.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2012 to approximately RMB3.7 million ($0.6 million) in the same period of 2013, mainly due to increases in fees related to IR service and salaries. Research and development expenses were RMB2.7 million ($0.4 million) for the second quarter of FY2014, down 36.6% compared to the second quarter FY2013. Overall, operating expenses increased by 3.5% year over year to RMB8.6 million ($1.3 million) for the second quarter of FY2014.

Income from operations was RMB7.9 million ($1.3 million) for the second quarter of FY2014, up 38.9% compared to RMB5.7 million for the same period of FY2013. This increase in income from operations is mainly driven by increased revenue as well as a decrease in R&D expenses.

Investment loss was approximately RMB0.4 million ($0.06 million) for the second quarter of FY2014. As of the date, we held approximately 25.0% interest of Avalon. As it has not yet filed its current period report with the SEC, this amount assumes similar performance to the prior quarter.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders increased by 10.0% to RMB5.8 million ($0.9 million) for the second quarter of FY2014 from RMB5.3 million for the same period of FY2013. Diluted earnings per share was RMB1.38 ($0.23) for the second quarter of FY2014, compared to RMB1.34 ($0.22) for the same period of FY2013 due to the issuance of additional shares in the current period.

Adjusted EBITDA was RMB9.3 million ($1.5 million) for the second quarter of FY2014, up 24.3% compared to RMB7.5 million for the same period of FY2013.

Year-to-Date FY2014 Financial Results

Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2013 increased by 5.0%, or approximately RMB2.7 million ($0.4 million) to RMB57.8 million ($9.5 million) from RMB55.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2013, primarily driven by strong sales from furnaces and automation products sales.

Gross profit increased to approximately RMB21.8 million ($3.6 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, up 32.5% from the same period of fiscal 2013. Gross margin increased from 29.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2012 to 37.8% for the same period ended December 31, 2013. This was mainly because revenues for fracturing services, which have lower margin than our other services accounted for a larger part of our revenue during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

Selling and distribution expenses increased by 24.2%, from approximately RMB2.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 to approximately RMB3.6 million ($0.6 million) for the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily from the increased shipping and service charges. General and administrative expenses increased by 44.0% from RMB4.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 to RMB6.5 million ($1.1 million) for the same period of fiscal 2014. Research and development expenses decreased by 41.5%, from approximately RMB5.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 to approximately RMB3.4 million ($0.5 million) for the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to lower spending on R&D materials and equipment for our furnaces and fracturing servies. Overall, operating expense were RMB13.4 million ($2.2 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, steady compared to same period of last year.

Income from operations was RMB8.4 million ($1.4 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to income of RMB3.3 million for the same period of 2012. This increase in income from operations can be attributed primarily to the increased revenue, gross margins and decreases in percentage of research and development expenses.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders increased to RMB5.9 million ($1.0 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, an improvement of approximately RMB2.9 million ($0.5 million) compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.

For the six months ended December 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was approximately RMB6.8 million ($1.1 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013. This was a decrease of approximately RMB12.0 million ($2.0 million) compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately RMB5.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. Our net cash used in operating activities were primarily for purchase of inventories for projects in the upcoming quarters.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately RMB16.1 million ($2.6 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately RMB6.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012.

[1]

We define Non GAAP net income as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense, interest expense, loss from investment, non-cash stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization. Detailed explanation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures and related reconciliations to net income are included in the accompanying "Adjusted EBITDA" part and in our 10Q.We think it is useful to an equity investor in evaluating our operating performance because: (1) it is widely used by investors in our 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.

"We're very pleased to continue improving our net profit in the quarter, as it was up almost 100% for the first half of fiscal year 2014," said Mr. Yin, CEO of Recon Technology. "We have been expanding our client base actively since last year, and our newly developed clients, such as Jilin Petroleum Group, North China Bureau of CNPC and Southwest Oil and Gas Branch of Sinopec, contributed more than half to our furnaces and automation business increase. As we strengthen our design capacity and service offerings, we believe our leading position in the furnace and oilfield automation segment will be consolidated.

"Our onsite service business, mainly focused on the fracturing segment, is well underway. We have achieved new contracts. Also, our cooperation with Baker Hughes has expanded to additional down well services, such as milling. Through these collaborative experimental projects with well-known international companies, our working performance and solutions can continue to improve, which will position us for new business opportunities from our oilfield clients.

"As to the coming year, we are still positive and confident," Mr. Yin continued. "According to the 2014 Energy Task Guidance of China's National Energy Bureau, the government's goals include increasing oil and gas production, improving proven ratios and extraction rates, encouraging the development of unconventional oil and gas resources and accelerating construction of oil and gas infrastructures. These points are quite favorable for our industry and our business. Our business operates mainly in China's northeast, northwest and Bohai Bay districts, where China's major producing oil and gas fields are located. Recon's product lines mainly focus on helping our clients improve extraction rates and reduce production costs. Over the years, our products and services have been well-received by our clients, and we will continue to devote our efforts as professional technology and service integrators." 

Q2 FY2014 Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of FY2013 increased slightly to RMB46.3 million ($7.6 million). Revenues from automation business and furnaces were quite strong, increasing 50%. Overall, our newly developed clients, Jilin Petroleum Group, Qinghai Oilfield and Southwest Branch of Sinopec, contributed most of our increasing business.

Gross profit increased to approximately RMB16.5 million ($2.7 million) for the second quarter of FY2014, up 17.9% from the same period of FY2013. Gross margin increased to 35.7% for the second quarter of FY2014 from 30.5% for the same period in FY2013. The improvement in overall gross margin was mainly due to software and furnace sales contributing to a higher portion of total revenues.

Selling and distribution expenses increased by 37.7%, from approximately RMB1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 to approximately RMB2.3 million ($0.4 million) for the second quarter of FY2014. This increase was primarily due to increased shipping charge and service charges. General and administrative expenses increased by 48.5%, or RMB1.2 million ($0.2 million), from approximately RMB2.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2012 to approximately RMB3.7 million ($0.6 million) in the same period of 2013, mainly due to increases in fees related to IR service and salaries. Research and development expenses were RMB2.7 million ($0.4 million) for the second quarter of FY2014, down 36.6% compared to the second quarter FY2013. Overall, operating expenses increased by 3.5% year over year to RMB8.6 million ($1.3 million) for the second quarter of FY2014.

Income from operations was RMB7.9 million ($1.3 million) for the second quarter of FY2014, up 38.9% compared to RMB5.7 million for the same period of FY2013. This increase in income from operations is mainly driven by increased revenue as well as a decrease in R&D expenses.

Investment loss was approximately RMB0.4 million ($0.06 million) for the second quarter of FY2014. As of the date, we held approximately 25.0% interest of Avalon. As it has not yet filed its current period report with the SEC, this amount assumes similar performance to the prior quarter.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders increased by 10.0% to RMB5.8 million ($0.9 million) for the second quarter of FY2014 from RMB5.3 million for the same period of FY2013. Diluted earnings per share was RMB1.38 ($0.23) for the second quarter of FY2014, compared to RMB1.34 ($0.22) for the same period of FY2013 due to the issuance of additional shares in the current period.

Adjusted EBITDA was RMB9.3 million ($1.5 million) for the second quarter of FY2014, up 24.3% compared to RMB7.5 million for the same period of FY2013.

Year-to-Date FY2014 Financial Results

Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2013 increased by 5.0%, or approximately RMB2.7 million ($0.4 million) to  RMB57.8 million ($9.5 million) from RMB55.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2013, primarily driven by strong sales from furnaces and automation products sales.

Gross profit increased to approximately RMB21.8 million ($3.6 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, up 32.5% from the same period of fiscal 2013. Gross margin increased from 29.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2012 to 37.8% for the same period ended December 31, 2013. This was mainly because revenues for fracturing services, which have lower margin than our other services accounted for a larger part of our revenue during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

Selling and distribution expenses increased by 24.2%, from approximately RMB2.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 to approximately RMB3.6 million ($0.6 million) for the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily from the increased shipping and service charges. General and administrative expenses increased by 44.0% from RMB4.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 to RMB6.5 million ($1.1 million) for the same period of fiscal 2014. Research and development expenses decreased by 41.5%, from approximately RMB5.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 to approximately RMB3.4 million ($0.5 million) for the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to lower spending on R&D materials and equipment for our furnaces and fracturing servies. Overall, operating expense were RMB13.4 million ($2.2 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, steady compared to same period of last year.

Income from operations was RMB8.4 million ($1.4 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to income of RMB3.3 million for the same period of 2012. This increase in income from operations can be attributed primarily to the increased revenue, gross margins and decreases in percentage of research and development expenses.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders increased to RMB5.9 million ($1.0 million)  for the six months ended December 31, 2013, an improvement of approximately RMB2.9 million ($0.5 million) compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. Diluted earnings per share was RMB1.44($0.24) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to diluted earnings per share of RMB0.75 ($0.12) for the same period ended December 31, 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA was RMB10.8 million ($1.8 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to approximately RMB5.8 million income for the same period in 2012, an improvement of 87.0%.
