"Year to date in FY2014, we are very pleased to see our operating efficiency has continued to improve, which is reflected in our overall nine month financial data." said Mr. Yin Shenping, CEO of Recon. "The third quarter is the off-season of our company, and we also bore more noncash expenses. Thus, while our third quarter financial results are lower than our second quarter, they are improved from third quarter 2013, with our increasing on-site maintenance skills, we believe that our footprint will continue to grow in the heating furnace and the automation business, and our business will continue to increase."

Mr. Yin continued: "Since our IPO in 2009, we have successfully expanded our market penetration, such as in Jilin oilfield. In April 2014, Recon Technology attended Sinopec seminars on an upcoming shale gas project. This shale gas project will mark the first large-scale commercial shale gas development in China. This conference, which featured a number of likely bidders in the South Fuling shale gas project, mainly focused on heating separators, horizontal fracturing technology and its technical application issues. Recon's Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Guangqiang Chen, introduced Recon's heating furnaces, separators and horizontal fracturing technology at the conference. As we continue to capitalize on our position in China's fragmented oil services industry and broaden our integrated products and service offerings through R&D and collaboration with Chinese and international companies involved in the oilfield services industry, we believe Recon is well-positioned to continue to grow."

Q3 FY2014 Financial Results:

Our total revenues increased by 143%, or approximately RMB 10.7 million ($1.7 million), from approximately RMB 7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to RMB 18.2 million ($3 million) for the same period of 2014. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to automation products from the Southwest branch of Sinopec and sales of furnaces from Jilin oilfield.

Gross profit increased to approximately RMB 5.2 million ($0.9 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from approximately RMB 4.2 million for the same period in 2013. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 28.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 55.4% for the same period in 2013. This was mainly because lower margin hardware revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year and higher margin software revenues decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Selling expenses decreased by 38.7%, from approximately RMB 1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to approximately RMB 1.1 million ($0.2 million) for the same period of 2014. This decrease was primarily from the decreased traveling expenses, bidding fee, salaries and maintenance expenses. Selling expenses were 23.9% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 6% of total revenues in the same period of 2014.

Loss from operations was approximately RMB 0.6 million ($0.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to loss of RMB 2.2 million for the same period of 2013. This decrease in loss from operations can be attributed primarily to the increased revenue, gross margins and decreases in research and development expenses.

As a result of the factors described above, net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was approximately RMB 1.9 million ($0.3 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately RMB 0.7 million ($0.1 million) from net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB1.2 million for the same period of 2013. This was due to increased noncash expense and warrant liability.

Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately RMB 0.7 million ($0.1 million) to approximately RMB 0.5 million ($0.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to approximately RMB 0.2 million loss for the same period in 2013. This was due to we increased more noncash expense and warrant liability.

The non-GAAP earnings per share for the third quarter is a loss of RMB 0.03, as compared to non-GAAP earnings per share for the same period of FY2013 of a loss of RMB 0.2.

Year-to-Date FY2013 Financial Results:

Our total revenues increased by 21.5%, or approximately RMB 13.5 million ($2.2 million), from RMB 62.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 to RMB 76.0 million ($12.3 million) for the same period of 2014. The increase in revenues for the nine-month period was due to sale of furnaces and automation products.

Gross profit increased to approximately RMB 27.1 million ($4.4 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from approximately RMB 20.6 million for the same period in 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 35.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 33.0% for the same period in 2013. This was mainly because fracturing service with lower margin accounted for a major part of our revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2013. As to our automation business and furnaces business, our margins were both improved because our products and services were also popular with our clients, especially our newly developed clients.

Selling expenses were flat at RMB 4.7 million ($0.8 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014. Selling expenses were 7.5% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 6.2% of total revenues in the same period of 2014.

Income from operations was approximately RMB 7.8 million ($1.3 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to income of RMB 1.2 million for the same period of 2013. This increase in income from operations can be attributed primarily to the increased revenue, gross margins and decreases in research and development expenses.

As a result of the factors described above, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was approximately RMB 3.9 million ($0.6 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately RMB 2.2 million ($0.4 million) from net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB 1.7 million for same period of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately RMB 6.1 million ($1.0 million) to approximately RMB 11.7 million ($1.9 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to approximately RMB 5.6 million income for the same period in 2013.

The non-GAAP earnings per share is RMB 1.82, more than doubled compared to non-GAAP earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 of RMB 0.77.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately RMB 15.3 million ($2.5 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. This was a decrease of approximately RMB 32.6 million ($5.3 million) compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately RMB 17.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately RMB 0.2 million ($26,000) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of RMB 0.3 million ($58,000) from RMB 0.5 million for the same period of 2013. The decrease was due to a decrease in the purchase of property and equipment. The decrease was because we purchase less property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately RMB 11.9 million ($1.9 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of approximately RMB 14.1 million for the same period in 2013. During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2014, we received net proceeds of RMB 12.1 million ($2.0 million) from a common stock sale of 546,500 shares with institutional investors in November 2013. In addition, we repaid RMB 12.87 million ($2.1 million) short term borrowings to related parties and received RMB 18.5 million ($3.0 million) of net loan proceeds from a commercial bank, which was guaranteed by one of our shareholders.

  • The non-GAAP earnings per share is RMB 1.82, as compared to non-GAAP earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 of RMB 0.77.

"Year to date in FY2014, we are very pleased to see our operating efficiency has continued to improve, which is reflected in our overall nine month financial data." said Mr. Yin Shenping, CEO of Recon. "The third quarter is the off-season of our company, and we also bore more noncash expenses. Thus, while our third quarter financial results are lower than our second quarter, they are improved from third quarter 2013, with our increasing on-site maintenance skills, we believe that our footprint will continue to grow in the heating furnace and the automation business, and our business will continue to increase."

Mr. Yin continued: "Since our IPO in 2009, we have successfully expanded our market penetration, such as in Jilin oilfield. In April 2014, Recon Technology attended Sinopec seminars on an upcoming shale gas project. This shale gas project will mark the first large-scale commercial shale gas development in China. This conference, which featured a number of likely bidders in the South Fuling shale gas project, mainly focused on heating separators, horizontal fracturing technology and its technical application issues. Recon's Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Guangqiang Chen, introduced Recon's heating furnaces, separators and horizontal fracturing technology at the conference. As we continue to capitalize on our position in China's fragmented oil services industry and broaden our integrated products and service offerings through R&D and collaboration with Chinese and international companies involved in the oilfield services industry, we believe Recon is well-positioned to continue to grow."

Q3 FY2014 Financial Results:

Our total revenues increased by 143%, or approximately RMB 10.7 million ($1.7 million), from approximately RMB 7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to RMB 18.2 million ($3 million) for the same period of 2014. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to automation products from the Southwest branch of Sinopec and sales of furnaces from Jilin oilfield.

Gross profit increased to approximately RMB 5.2 million ($0.9 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from approximately RMB 4.2 million for the same period in 2013. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 28.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 55.4% for the same period in 2013. This was mainly because lower margin hardware revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year and higher margin software revenues decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Selling expenses decreased by 38.7%, from approximately RMB 1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to approximately RMB 1.1 million ($0.2 million) for the same period of 2014. This decrease was primarily from the decreased traveling expenses, bidding fee, salaries and maintenance expenses. Selling expenses were 23.9% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 6% of total revenues in the same period of 2014.

Loss from operations was approximately RMB 0.6 million ($0.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to loss of RMB 2.2 million for the same period of 2013. This decrease in loss from operations can be attributed primarily to the increased revenue, gross margins and decreases in research and development expenses.

As a result of the factors described above, net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was approximately RMB 1.9 million ($0.3 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately RMB 0.7 million ($0.1 million) from net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB1.2 million for the same period of 2013. This was due to increased noncash expense and warrant liability.

Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately RMB 0.7 million ($0.1 million) to approximately RMB 0.5 million ($0.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to approximately RMB 0.2 million loss for the same period in 2013. This was due to we increased more noncash expense and warrant liability.

The non-GAAP earnings per share for the third quarter is a loss of RMB 0.03, as compared to non-GAAP earnings per share for the same period of FY2013 of a loss of RMB 0.2.

Year-to-Date FY2013 Financial Results:

Our total revenues increased by 21.5%, or approximately RMB 13.5 million ($2.2 million), from RMB 62.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 to RMB 76.0 million ($12.3 million) for the same period of 2014. The increase in revenues for the nine-month period was due to sale of furnaces and automation products.

Gross profit increased to approximately RMB 27.1 million ($4.4 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from approximately RMB 20.6 million for the same period in 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 35.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 33.0% for the same period in 2013. This was mainly because fracturing service with lower margin accounted for a major part of our revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2013. As to our automation business and furnaces business, our margins were both improved because our products and services were also popular with our clients, especially our newly developed clients.

Selling expenses were flat at RMB 4.7 million ($0.8 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014. Selling expenses were 7.5% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 6.2% of total revenues in the same period of 2014.

Income from operations was approximately RMB 7.8 million ($1.3 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to income of RMB 1.2 million for the same period of 2013. This increase in income from operations can be attributed primarily to the increased revenue, gross margins and decreases in research and development expenses.

As a result of the factors described above, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was approximately RMB 3.9 million ($0.6 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately RMB 2.2 million ($0.4 million) from net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB 1.7 million for same period of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately RMB 6.1 million ($1.0 million) to approximately RMB 11.7 million ($1.9 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to approximately RMB 5.6 million income for the same period in 2013.

The non-GAAP earnings per share is RMB 1.82, more than doubled compared to non-GAAP earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 of RMB 0.77.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately RMB 15.3 million ($2.5 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. This was a decrease of approximately RMB 32.6 million ($5.3 million) compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately RMB 17.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately RMB 0.2 million ($26,000) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of RMB 0.3 million ($58,000) from RMB 0.5 million for the same period of 2013. The decrease was due to a decrease in the purchase of property and equipment. The decrease was because we purchase less property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately RMB 11.9 million ($1.9 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of approximately RMB 14.1 million for the same period in 2013. During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2014, we received net proceeds of RMB 12.1 million ($2.0 million) from a common stock sale of 546,500 shares with institutional investors in November 2013. In addition, we repaid RMB 12.87 million ($2.1 million) short term borrowings to related parties and received RMB 18.5 million ($3.0 million) of net loan proceeds from a commercial bank, which was guaranteed by one of our shareholders.
