Management Commentary

Mr. Shenping Yin, founder and CEO of Recon stated, "Our market expansion efforts proceeded quite well for the past quarter as we continued to extend our furnaces markets to the chemical industry and industrial automation products requirements to coal chemical industry, bringing us increased revenue. We expect this trend to remain stable and we remain confident of a 30% increase in revenue for the whole fiscal year 2018 as mentioned in our annual letter to shareholders. Furthermore, our construction of waste-water and waste oil sludge treatment facilities has also advanced as scheduled. We believe this will help improve our operations and profit in the coming year."

3 MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased by 181.2% to ¥16.6 million ($2.6 million) compared to ¥5.9 million for the same period of last year, largely due to increased sales of customized equipment and pressure vessels to new clients of chemical industry.

Cost and Margin

The Company's gross profit increased by 57.9% to ¥1.7 million ($0.3 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from ¥1.1 million for the same period of last year. Gross profit margin decreased to 10.3% from 18.3% for the same period of last year. The significant decrease in gross margin was primarily due to increased sales of furnaces which usually generates lower gross margin. The management believes that our gross margin will increase after the construction and test-run stage of our new plants and equipment, when our equipment is expected to be sold at the normal price.

Net Loss

Loss from operations was ¥10.5 million ($1.7 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to ¥7.0 million for the same period of last year. The increase in net loss is largely due to an increase in selling and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses, partly offset by an increase in gross profit and a decrease in research and development expenses.

Net loss attributable to Recon for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was ¥10.1 million ($1.6 million), or ¥0.70 ($0.11) per basic and diluted share based on 14.6 million basic and diluted shares outstanding, compared to ¥7.2 million, or ¥0.81 per basic and diluted share based on 8.9 million basic and diluted shares outstanding for the same period of last year.

Non-U.S. GAAP Net Loss

Non-U.S. GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders excluding certain non-cash expenses such as restricted shares issued for consulting services and non-cash stock compensation expense was ¥5.1 million ($0.8 million), or ¥0.35 ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders of ¥2.3 million, ¥0.26 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of last year. Please see the note about non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation table at the end of this press release.

(1)

Revenue from automation product and software decreased by ¥3.0 million or 15.8% from the same period of last
year. Affected by less expenditure on surface projects of our clients for the last two years, requirements of
automation related projects maintained at a lower level and fluctuated. Revenue from this product line may
fluctuate from time to time. Management is confident on further development on this business because it
believes oil companies will continue to invest in automation products. In addition, during this period,
management also expanded new market of automation business to coal chemical industry.

(2)

As shown above, the overall increase in revenue was primarily due to increased equipment business, including
furnaces and related accessories.

(3)

Revenue from waste water treatment products decreased by ¥2.3 million or 84.2% as most of Recon's
wastewater treatment projects were not finished thus less revenue was recorded in the nine months ended
March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period of last year.

(4)

Revenue from services for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2018 consisted mainly of maintenance
services, which were provided upon request by customers. Revenue from services increased by ¥0.1 million or
152.9% from the same period of last year mainly because maintenance requests outpaced the purchase of new
equipment due to industry softness, and we believe the margin level is reasonable.

Cost of Revenues. Recon's cost of revenues increased from ¥30.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 to ¥62.1 million ($9.9 million) for the same period in 2018, representing an increase of ¥31.8 million ($5.1 million), or 104.7%. This increase was mainly caused by significant growth in revenue generated from equipment and accessories with lower gross profit margin.

Gross Profit. Recon's gross profit decreased to ¥7.8 million ($1.2 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 from ¥13.7 million from the same period of last year. Recon's gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 11.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 from 31.1% from the same period of last year. This was mainly due to the increased equipment business with lower margin during this period, which led to the increase in cost of revenues in proportion to the increase in Recon's revenue.

Selling and Distribution Expenses. Selling and distribution expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenditures of Recon's sales and marketing organization, sales commissions, costs of Recon's marketing programs including traveling expenses, advertising and trade shows, and rental expense, as well as shipping charges. Selling expenses increased by ¥1.0 million ($0.2 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 from the same period of last year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in traveling expense and service and testing fees as we expanded our market to new basements of Changqing oilfield and new industries. Selling expenses were 6.1% of total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 7.5% of total revenues for the same period of last year. 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs in human resources, facilities costs, depreciation expenses, professional advisor fees, audit fees, stock-based compensation expense and other miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with general operations. General and administrative expenses increased by 36.2% or ¥7.6 million ($1.2 million), from ¥21.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 to ¥28.6 million ($4.5 million) for the same period of 2018. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to an increase in performance-based compensation, consulting fees, rent expenses and investor relationship expenses. General and administrative expenses accounted 40.9% of total revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 47.7% of total revenues for the same period of last year. In December 2016, the Company's board approved the grants of restricted stock to management plan based on performance targets for the coming three fiscal years from FY2017 to FY2019. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, because of the grant of certain restricted stock to management as the target for the FY2018 achieved, compensation expenses increased ¥2.5 million. 

Provision for doubtful accounts. Provision for doubtful accounts is the estimated amount of bad debt that will arise as a result of lower collectability from accounts receivables, other receivables and purchase advances. We reversed provision for doubtful accounts of ¥0.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of ¥0.5 million ($0.1 million) for the same period in 2018. Management will continue to monitor accounts receivable to maintain the provision at a lower level.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenditures for Recon's research and development projects. Research and development expenses decreased from ¥6.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 to ¥2.4 million ($0.4 million) for the same period of 2018. This decrease was primarily due to less research and development expense spent on design of chemical products used for waste water treatment and digital oilfield models and platform. The Company was focusing on the transformation of advanced R&D results into projects, which were undertaken by Gansu BHD and Qinghai BHD.

The increase in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to the net loss available to the Company of the amount of ¥28.3 million ($4.5 million), and reconciled by share based compensation of ¥5.1 million ($0.8 million), restricted shares issued for management of ¥8.0 million ($1.3 million) as well as restricted shares issued for services of ¥2.8 million ($0.5 million); and an increase in other receivables and purchase advances, partly offset by an decrease in trade accounts receivable.

This increase was due to an increase in the Company's payments for a land use right of 50 years, payments for construction in progress and investment in unconsolidated entity.

Cash from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to ¥76.8 million ($12.2 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of ¥6.2 million for the same period of last year.

We also received ¥3.7 million ($0.6 million) capital contribution by non-controlling shareholders. Moreover, this increase in net cash provided by financing activities was due to net proceeds from issuance of common stock of ¥65.0 million ($10.3 million) for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
