Mr. Ku continued “We believe that, for the full 2018 fiscal year, the Company had net income loss primarily due to management’s conservative estimates about our systems’ fair value as well as our conservative approach on bad debts allowance estimates and systems’ fair value estimates. We remain confident in our market positioning and new energy storage portfolio.

Xi’an, China, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- China Recycling Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: CREG; "CREG" or "the Company"), a leading industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today announced that, Xi’an Zhonghong New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zhonghong”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has formally passed final completion acceptance of construction of Shandong Boxing CDQ (Coke Dry Quenching) Waste Heat Power Generation Project (the “Boxing CDQ Project”) in Shandong Boxing Victory Technology Co., Ltd.

The Boxing CDQ Project has met conditions for production now. The total investment of this project is RMB 200 million, including a set of 150-ton/hour CDQ system and one 25-megawatt waste heat power station, with annual generation capacity of 186m KWH, energy saving of 57,000 tons of standard coal, recovery of 35,000 tons of coke powder, emission reduction of 170,000 tons of carbon dioxide, 1 thousand tons of sulfur dioxide and 6 thousand tons of dust.

This project changes the previous practice of cooling fresh coke by spraying water to cool it, adopts the new coke cooling process by using low-temperature inert gas as the circulating medium, absorbs 83% of the heat from the high temperature coke coming out of the coke oven, and then transfers it to the waste heat boiler and follow-up device to produce steam and electricity. In addition, the dry quenching process not only uses the waste heat of coke production efficiently, but also utilizes  harmful materials such as coke powder produced in the production process as sintering raw materials, effectively solving the problem of coke corrosion equipment and air pollution, realizing clean production and improving coke quality.  

The Chairman of China Recycling Energy commented: "We are very pleased to announce that the company has overcome many difficulties and adverse factors, all the system construction and debugging of the project have been completed finally. During the trial operation, the coke dry quenching rate and power generation capacity have met the design requirements.

Comments & Business Outlook

XI'AN, China, March 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- China Recycling Energy Corp. (CREG) (" CREG " or " the Company "), a leading industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today announced its financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2015.

Full Year 2015 Audited Financial Highlights

  • Total sales increased 23.89% to US$24.36 million from US$19.66 million in 2014;
  • Basic and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) was US$0.22, as compared with US$0.28 in 2014.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "In consideration of the downturn and decline of iron and steel enterprises in China in recent years as well as the restructure and change in ownership interest of certain clients, the company transferred Jitie Project, Datong Project and Zhongtai CDQ project in 2015. Taking into consideration the time value of money and the opportunity to deploy the cash to fund some of the numerous projects in our pipeline, we believe that the early termination fee more than compensates the Company for the loss of future income but further strengthens our financial position and will spur a new round of business development. We continue to invest in our R&D efforts to explore new solutions to be used in more energy intensive industries."

Comments & Business Outlook

Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results:

  • Total revenues, including sales of systems, contingent rental income and interest income on sales-type leases, decreased 29.32% to US$5.17 million from US$7.31 million for the third quarter of 2014.
  • Basic and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) was US$0.04, compared with US$0.07 in the third quarter of 2014.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "We do not have project completion during the third quarter hence zero systems sales for the quarter. While we saw a decline in our financial results for this quarter, it should be noted that historically we have experienced non-linear revenue flows on a quarterly basis due to the nature of our business model, and this is not indicative of the long-term growth potential of the company over time. In the thirteenth five-year plan of China, a couple of strategies were determined, which will have good impact on recycling energy projects. During the thirteenth five-year plan, the overall investment in environment protection industry will be about RMB 17 trillion. Furthermore, in the Sino US joint statement on climate change published during President of PRC visits to the US in September, the Chinese government has specified one goal planning to launch the carbon emission trading system in 2017. We will take this great opportunity to develop more new projects and recycling solutions to meet future market demand and bring in more shareholder value."

  • Basic and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) was US$0.14, compared with US$0.11 in the second quarter of 2014.

As industrial consolidation continues in China, we experienced the early terminations of two projects during the second quarter, including one newly completed Waste Gas Power Generation ("WGPG") system for Datong Tianjian. By the end of the quarter, we finished the construction of a Coke Dry Quenching ("CDQ") system for Boxing County Chengli Gas Supply Co. , Ltd. This new system is currently being tested, and we expect full completion in coming months. The cash we received from the early terminations will help us fund new projects, develop new energy recycling solutions, and explore new operating and revenue models to meet market demand and maximize shareholder value."

Comments & Business Outlook

XI'AN, China, June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Recycling Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: CREG) ("CREG" or "the Company"), a leading industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today announced that Xi'an TCH Energy Technology Co., Ltd.("Xi'an TCH"), its wholly owned subsidiary, recently entered into a Repurchase Agreement for the Waste Heat Power Generation ("WHPG") Project ("Repurchase Agreement") with Sinosteel Group Jilin Ferroalloys Co., Ltd. ("Jitie"). Under the Repurchase Agreement, Jitie will repurchase the WHPG Project from Xi'an TCH at a total price of approximately US$14.7 million (RMB90.0 million).

The Company completed the WHPG Project in December 2013,and started to lease it to Jitie in January 2014 for a period of 24 years. The Company initially invested about US$10.1 million (RMB61.7 million) in the WHPG Project and received net monthly minimum rental fees from Jitie of about US$0.3 million (RMB1.7 million), for a total of about US$4.8 million (RMB29.5 million) as of June 18, 2015.

In December 2014, Sinosteel Group, Jitie's controlling shareholder entered into an equity transfer agreement with Liaoning ZhongZe Group for the transfer of ownership of Jitie, pursuant to which Liaoning Zhongze Group became the controlling shareholder of Jitie. Due to the change in its strategic plan and business restructuring, Jitie notified Xi'an TCH that it requested the repurchase of the WHPG Project. After negotiations, the Company agreed to an early transfer of the WHPG Project for a price of about US$14.7 million (RMB90.0 million).

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "Due to the industrial consolidations in China over the past years, we experienced early termination of several lease contracts in recent months, among which Jitie is the latest one. We believe that the early termination fee more than compensates the Company for the loss of future income and we will deploy the cash from the early transfer to fund new projects already under contract. In the meantime, we will keep monitoring industry trends and make sure we are well prepared to respond to the changing dynamics of the industries we serve. In addition to developing new energy recycling solutions, we are also exploring new operating and revenue models that we believe will benefit both our clients and the Company going forward. We expect to complete one new system by the end of the second quarter."

("Datong Tianjian"). Under the repurchase agreement, Datong Tianjian will repurchase the two Blast Furnace Power Recovery Turbine ("BPRT") systems and one newly completed Waste Gas Power Generation ("WGPG") system from Xi'an TCH at a total repurchase price of approximately US$40.3 million (RMB250.0 million)

The two BPRT systems were completed in June 2013, which have been leased to Shanxi Datong Coal Group Steel Co., Ltd. ("Datong") that was renamed as Datong Coal Tianjian Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. after it was restructured, and the WGPG system was completed in May 2015. Due to the change of its strategic plan and business restructuring, Datong recently notified Xi'an TCH that it requested the repurchase of the BPRT and WGPG systems (the "Systems") from Xi'an TCH.

The second project remains on track for completion before June 30. Taking into consideration the time value of money and the opportunity to deploy the cash to fund some of the numerous projects in our pipeline, we believe that the early termination fee more than compensates the Company for the loss of future income. The market demand for energy recycling remains strong in China given highly supportive government policies. We continue to invest in our R&D efforts to explore new solutions to be used in more energy intensive industries. The additional cash from the early transfer will further strengthen our financial position and spur a new round of business development."

GKM's audit reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively, and in the subsequent interim period through February 15, 2015, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and GKM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GKM, would have caused GKM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided GKM with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) prior to the time the Report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Comments & Business Outlook

XI'AN, China, Feb. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Recycling Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: CREG; "CREG" or "the Company"), a leading industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today announced that its Waste Heat Power Generation System ("WHPG System") originally leased to Zhong Gang Group Bin Hai Industry Co., Ltd. ("Zhong Gang") was transferred to Zhong Gang for a price of about US$9.8 million (RMB60.0 million) recently.

Under the original lease contract, CREG was leasing the WHPG System to Zhong Gang for 9 years from the day the system became operational in October 2010 until September 2019. However, Zhong Gang Group, a large Chinese steel company that is the controlling shareholder of Zhong Gang, is undertaking a restructuring of its businesses that involves the discontinuation of many system outsourcing arrangements, including the WHPG System, to operate and manage those systems in-house going forward.

After negotiations with Zhong Gang, the Company has agreed to an early transfer of the WHPG System for an early termination fee of approximately US$9.8 million. According to Company's estimates, this amount is fairly close to the discounted cash flow value of the total principal repayment and interest income on sales-type leases of US$11.3 million (RMB69.3million) receivable by the Company during the period from January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2019. 

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "We believe that the early termination fee is fair, taking into account the time value of money, and the opportunity to deploy the cash to more profitable projects in the near future. We welcome this additional boost to our cash flow at a time when we need to fund new projects already under contract. We know there is substantial demand for our systems going forward and we remain fully confident in our ability to increase long-term value for our shareholders."

(“Cinda Financial”) for early payment of the leasing fees (principal and interest) and early termination of the Financial Leasing Agreement that was entered by the parties on June 28, 2011, as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on July 11, 2011.

Under the Repayment Agreement, Xi’an TCH and Cinda Financial agree: (i) Xi’an TCH shall pay the principal and interest in the amount of RMB 2,561,067.22 (approximately $416,434) for the 4th quarter of 2014 before December 28, 2014; and Xi’an TCH shall pay the principal and interest in the amount of RMB 2,554,927.98 (approximately $415,435) for the 1st quarter of 2015 as well as the remaining principal at amount of RMB 12,139,270.74 (approximately $1,973,865) before March 28, 2015 (the "Total Repayment Price"); (ii) Cinda Financial shall return the deposit of RMB 2,125,000 (approximately $345,529) to Xi’an TCH within three days after Xi’an TCH pays off the Total Repayment Price; (iii) upon the effective date of the Repayment Agreement, the Financial Leasing Agreement shall be terminated and the ownership of a set of 7MW Waste Heat Power Generation ("WHPG") System shall be transferred to Xi’an TCH; (iv) if Xi’an TCH does not make timely payment pursuant to the Repayment Agreement, the Repayment Agreement shall be terminated and Cinda Financial shall retain the ownership of the WHPG System, and (v) the Repurchase Agreement shall take effect upon its execution by the parties.

Repurchase Agreement with Zhonggang Binhai Enterprise Ltd.

On December 22, 2014, Xi’an TCH also entered into a WHPG System Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Zhonggang Binhai Enterprise Ltd. (“Zhonggang”).

(“Zhongbao”) in July, 2009. The term of the Cooperative Agreement was for 9 years starting from the operation of the WHPG System in October 2010. Due to the changes in the iron and steel market in China, Zhonggang, currently a 100% owner of Zhongbao is making strategic adjustments to its subsidiaries, which results in a restructure of Zhongbao and causes it to be unable to fulfil its obligations under the Zhonggang Agreement. Zhonggang and Zhongbao requested to purchase the 7MW WHPG System from Xi’an TCH and terminate the Cooperative Agreement.

Under the Repurchase Agreement, Xi’an TCH and Zhonggang agree: (i) Zhonggang purchases the WHPG System from Xi’an TCH and terminates the Cooperative Agreement; (ii) Zhonggang shall pay outstanding energy saving service fees of RMB 1.5 million (approximately $243,902) to Xi’an TCH within 3 working days from the execution of the Repurchase Agreement; (iii) the WHPG System shall be transferred to Zhonggang for a price of RMB 60 million (approximately $9,756,098, the “Repurchase Price”) and Zhonggang shall pay all of the Repurchase Price within 10 working days from the execution of the Repurchase Agreement; (iv) the ownership of the WHPG System shall be transferred to Zhonggang when it timely pays off the entire Repurchase Price according to the Repurchase Agreement and Xi'an TCH shall not pursue any breach of contract liability under Cooperative Agreement; (v) the Zhonggang Agreement will be terminated when Zhonggang pays off the entire Repurchase Price according to the requirement of the Repurchase Agreement; and (vi) if the Repurchase Price is not paid on time pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Repurchase Agreement shall be terminated and Xi'an TCH shall retain the ownership of the WHPG System.

As the date of this Form 8-K, Xi'an TCH has received the outstanding energy saving service fees and Repurchase Price from Zhonggang.

The description contained herein of the terms of the Repayment Agreement and Repurchase Agreement (the "Agreements") do not purport to be complete, and the Agreements will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2014.

Comments & Business Outlook

XI'AN, China, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Recycling Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: CREG; "CREG" or "the Company"), a leading industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today issued preliminary financial highlights for the fourth quarter and full year 2014 ended December 31, 2014.

Interest income on sales-type leases, the major and consistent regular revenue for the Company, is anticipated to be US$6.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 23.3% from US$5.6 million for the same period of 2013. For the full year of 2014, interest income on sales-type leases is anticipated to be US$26.4 million, an increase of 36.3% from US$19.3 million in 2013.

Sales of systems are anticipated to be US$0 for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with US$12.9 million in the same period of 2013, as the Company did not recognize any system sales revenues since no projects were completed in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Shandong Boxing project, which was expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014, was delayed because suppliers could not deliver some equipment in a timely manner. The Company now expects that the Shandong Boxing project will be completed in the second quarter of 2015. For the full year of 2014, sales of systems are anticipated to be US$18.9 million, as compared to US$62.0 million in 2013.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 is anticipated to be US$3.6 million, a decrease of 14.3% as compared with US$4.2 million for the same period of 2013. For the full year of 2014, net income is anticipated to be US$18.0 million, an increase of 15.2% as compared with US$15.6 million in 2013.

Comments & Business Outlook
Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results.
  • Total sales were US$0.24 million, compared with US$21.74 million for the third quarter of 2013.
  • Basic and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) was US$0.07, as compared with US$0.08 for the third quarter of 2013.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "We are very pleased to report a 36% year-over-year growth in interest income on sale-type leases which constitute the major and consistent revenue stream for the Company. While we experienced the early termination of a lease contract for a TRT system to Zhangzhi, which happened under very unique circumstances, we believe this is an isolated case. From a revenue standpoint going forward, the lease contract signed with Yida at the end of the second quarter more than offsets the annual loss from the early termination and we expect to soon add to revenue with the completion of one project by the end of this fourth quarter. Another four more projects are expected to be completed in 2015 and one in the first half of 2016. Once completed, these six projects will bring our total capacity to 267 MW, approximately double our current level."

Comments & Business Outlook

Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results:

  • Total sales increased by 37.7% to US$19.2 million from US$13.9 million for the second quarter of 2013.
  • Basic and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) was US$0.11, as compared with US$0.07 for the first quarter of 2013.


Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "We are very happy to report strong growth in our top and bottom lines for the second quarter of 2014. We are particularly pleased with the substantial growth in net income and our progress in systems sales. During the quarter, we sold a 15 MW coke oven gas power generation station through a sales-type lease to Qitaihe City Boli Yida Coal Selection Co., Ltd. ("Qitaihe Yida"), which has been converted from a 15 MW coal gangue power generation station. It has brought us a one-time sales of systems revenue of about US$19 million and will generate recurring interest income on sales-type lease during the leasing period of 15 years. It's important to note that system sales revenue on the project is recognized at the point of system delivery and monthly lease payments, based on our off-take agreements with the customer, beginning immediately thereafter."

"While we see substantial opportunities ahead of us, the extent to which we grow our business, especially energy saving and recycling projects, depends on our ability to raise capital on economically attractive terms. We have recently entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with YA Global Master SPV Ltd. ("YA Global"). Under the terms of the agreement, YA Global is committed to purchase up to US$50 million of our common stock over a period of 2 years. This should help us expand our business more rapidly. However, we have absolute discretion to determine the timing of the capital raise at the right price."

"Looking ahead, we expect that our interest income on sales-type leases will remain strong through the rest of 2014. In addition, we currently have six projects under construction and we expect two projects to be completed in 2014 and three projects to be completed in 2015. In addition, we have two contracts for CDQ waste heat power generation systems and several framework agreements for CDQ waste heat power generation systems signed recently. With such a strong backlog, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand in China's energy saving and recycling markets as long as we can continue to obtain appropriate funding."

XI'AN, China, July 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Recycling Energy Corp.

("YA Global"), aCayman Islands exempt limited partnership on July 8, 2014.

Under the terms of the agreement, YA Global is committed to purchase up to US$50 million of the Company's common stock over a period of 2 years following the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by YA Global. The Company may in its discretion draw on the facility from time to time by delivering an advance notice to YA Global. The purchase price shall be set at 99% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the delivery of the advance notice.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "We are very pleased that YA Global has agreed to partner with us to provide additional equity funding to allow us to expand our business more rapidly. We have a strong backlog of projects that we are confident we can successfully execute as long as we can obtain adequate funding. This will allow us to expand our top and bottom lines and further increase shareholder value. A Standby Equity Distribution Agreement is an effective corporate financing instrument providing a flexible, relatively low-cost source of capital, and limiting dilution to some extent but compensated by increased project earnings for our current shareholders as well."

"This vote of confidence from YA Global comes on the back of new sales-type lease agreement we signed at the end of the 2014 second quarter with Qitaihe City Boli Yida Coal Selection Co., Ltd. This 15-year deal contributed sales of systems revenues of about US$24.3 million to our second quarter. We expect to receive about US$5.9 million of annual recurring cash flow receipts for 15 years."

"Currently our 15 projects under sales-type lease agreement and our 6 projects under construction are running smoothly. With such a strong pipeline and support from the financial community, we believe we are well positioned to grow our business as the Chinese government continues to focus on reducing wasted energy and curbing pollution," concluded Chairman Ku.

Mr. Matthew Beckman, Managing Partner of YA Global, added, "CREG is committed to providing comprehensive energy efficiency solutions to address continuously increasing market demands in various energy intensive industries in China.

First Quarter 2014 Financial Results

  • Interest income on sales-type leases increased by 64.9% to US$6.31 million from US$3.82 million for the first quarter of 2013.
  • Basic and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) was US$0.05, as compared with US$0.07 for the first quarter of 2013.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "We are very pleased with the strong growth in the interest income on sales-type leases which now forms an important source of revenue and contributes to the long-term sustainable growth of our business by generating stable and recurring monthly lease payments over the course of the lease term. At US$6.3 million, we have reached a record high that will continue for the rest of this year. While we recognized very little sales this quarter as no project under construction was completed, these projects are progressing well and on schedule.

  • For the first quarter of 2013, GAAP diluted EPS was $0.07 with approximately 50.22 million shares of common stock outstanding. This compares with GAAP diluted EPS of $0.04 in the first quarter of 2012 when the Company had 53.01 million shares of common stock outstanding.
  • Non-GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2013 were $0.08 vs $0.04 in the prior year.

Mr. Ku continued, "In terms of completed projects, we are excited to announce that we further enlarged our project portfolio with the completion of Shenqiu Project Phase II, a 12 MW biomass power generation project, by the end of the first quarter of 2013. Currently, the total generation capacity of Shenqiu power plant is increased to 24MW, and bringing our total operating capacity to 124 MW."

"As we complete existed projects, we are making great efforts to develop new projects and business model. Besides the methods we currently applied for waste power generation, we are focusing on developing coke dry quenching (CDQ) waste heat power generation. With large-scale application of coke ovens, CDQ is a trend in the future for the industry. By using CDQ technology, the energy could be used more efficiently and pollution will be greatly reduced. Therefore, CDQ waste power generation could reduce the costs for electricity for enterprises and also help them to reduce environmental pollution. By doing this, we could expand our market share and develop more projects. Additionally, we are continuously seeking more cost-effective financing options for our company and our customers in an effort to better grow our business. We intend to expand our waste-to-energy power generating capacity rapidly in order to meet the continuous demand growth for energy to gain market share. We look forward to announcing the completion of projects under development now and in the future and bringing more savings to our customers."

Comments & Business Outlook

XI'AN, China, October 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Recycling Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: CREG; "CREG" or "the Company"), a leading industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today announced that the ongoing construction of its previously announced Shanxi Datong Coal Group Steel Ltd. Energy Recovery Project ("Shanxi Datong Project") is progressing according to schedule. The Company expects Shanxi Datong Project, which has 23MW of total power generation capacity, will be completed by end of 2012.

As previously announced, Xi'an TCH Energy Technology Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of China Recycling Energy Corp., signed a definite agreement with Shanxi Datong Coal Group Steel Ltd. to co-develop the Shanxi Datong Project which recycles gas and steam from groups of blast-furnaces and converter of Shanxi Datong's metal refining plants to generate power. According to the agreement, China Recycling Energy will install two 3MW Top Gas Recovery Turbine (TRT) unites, one 15MW Waste Gas Power Generation (WGPG) system and two 1MW steam power generation systems. The total investment for the project is estimated to be approximately $27.45 million (RMB 180 million), and it will generate up to 23MW of electricity annually. After all construction completed at the end of 2012, the facility will be leased back to Datong Coal Group Steel Ltd. for 30 years, and Datong will be responsible for operating the facility and pay service fee to CREG during the lease term. The service fee is based on an average of 8,000 electricity-generating hours per year and $0.05 (RMB 0.33) per kilowatt hour ("Kwh") for the first 5 years after the completion of each power generation station. For each of the leases, at the 6th year, 11th year and 21st year thereafter, the rate will be RMB 0.3 Kwh, 0.27 Kwh and 0.25 Kwh, respectively. This project is a Build and Operate (BO) project, the operation period is permanent.

Total payback period of the project is 5 years. The project is progressing smoothly at present, and it will complete by the end of 2012.

"We are very pleased that the construction of Datong project is progressing smoothly," said Mr. Ku Guohua, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Recycling Energy, "It is expected to bring increased revenues and significantly enhance the overall attractiveness of our company. Datong has abundant resources and will be an important partner for CREG in waste heat electricity generation going forward."

Comments & Business Outlook

Second Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights

  • Net sales increased 10.1% to $403k from $366k
  • Income from operations was $4.3 million, as compared to income from operations of $4.1 million.
  • The net income was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share, as compared to net income of $3.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share
  • The cash and cash equivalents was $41.6 million as of June 30 2012, an increase of 300% comparing to $14.9 million as of December 31, 2011

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Recycling Energy, discussed quarterly financial results, current projects and the company's' growth potential, "As expected, we do not have project completion during the second quarter hence zero systems sales for the quarter. Interest income from the sales-type leases is our other major revenue in addition to systems sales revenue. The interest income has declined marginally as we now have interest income from 11 systems compared to 12 systems in 2011. Our business model is such that we frequently experience non-linear revenue flows on a quarterly basis, which is not indicative of the long-term growth potential of the Company. We have a number of projects in the development phase - none of which are slated for completion until the end of calendar year 2012, and we have a solid pipeline of new projects backed by a strong balance sheet.

Mr. Ku continued, "In terms of projects under construction, currently we have two projects, Phase III of Erdos Power Generation Project and Shannxi Datong Coal Group Power Generation Project, under construction with a total capacity of 48 megawatts. The Company temporarily suspended construction of the Erdos Phase III due to the restructuring of products and industry by the customer. The Datong project was previously halted due to business reorganization of Shannxi Datong and a renegotiation of one of the power stations with Xi'an TCH to amend certain construction plans. The Company resumed the construction in April 2012 and we expect to complete this project by the end of 2012."

"We remain positive and optimistic on the future earnings potential for China Recycling Energy Corporation," concluded by Mr. Ku.

First Quarter 2012 Results

  • Total sales for the 2012 first quarter, comprised of system sales and contingent rental income, was $0.15 million, as compared to $0.52 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $11.56 million for the first quarter of 2011.
  • Net income for the 2012 first quarter was $2.02 million, as compared with $4.54 million for the 2011 fourth quarter and $4.56 million for the 2011 first quarter.
  • For the first quarter of 2012, GAAP diluted EPS was $0.04 with approximately 53.01 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Recycling Energy, discussed quarterly financial results, current projects and the company's' growth potential. "We are encouraged by the pipeline of new business that we see in 2012 and well into the future. While we saw a decline in our financial results for the first quarter, it should be noted that historically CREG has experienced non-linear revenue flows on a quarterly basis due to the nature of the company's business model, and this is not indicative of the long-term growth potential of CREG over time. We have a number of projects in the development phase - none of which are slated for completion until the end of calendar year 2012. In addition, we have a solid pipeline of new projects backed by a strong balance sheet."

Mr. Ku noted, "By leveraging the very strong relationships we have with Chinese industrial giants, CREG is optimally positioned to capitalize on its growth opportunities. Our partnerships include Sino-Steel Group, Binhai Branch - China's largest nickel steel plant, Erdos Metallurgy Co. - the world's largest ferrosilicon alloy plant, and Shengwei Cement Group - a major Chinese cement producer. CREG currently has a total of eleven power plants in operation with a total capacity of 107 MW. In addition, we have two heat recovery/WGPG projects under construction, with a total capacity 48 MW, as well as memorandums of understanding (MOUs) for six other TRT, CHPG, and WGPG projects for a total capacity 279 MW."

Fourth Quarter 2011 Resutls

  • Total sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011, comprised of system sales and contingent rental income, was $0.52 million, as compared to $18.84 million reported in the third quarter of 2011 and $31.82 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.
  • For the fourth quarter of 2011, GAAP diluted EPS was $0.06 with approximately 56.18 million shares of common stock outstanding. This compares with GAAP diluted EPS for the 2011 third quarter of $0.16 with approximately 54.95 million shares of common stock outstanding, and $0.12 in the fourth quarter of 2010 when the Company had 50.18 million shares of common stock outstanding.
  • Adjusted non-gaap EPS for the fourth quarter 2011 was $0.00 vs $0.24 in prior year

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG, commented, "Our full year 2011 net results showed significant growth in net income, interest income from the leasing of our systems and earnings for our shareholders, despite lower system sales revenues. During the year, we further strengthened our operations and increased operational efficiencies, while maintaining our fiscal discipline and cost controls; and in 2011 we delivered a very strong operating performance, culminating in our third consecutive year of profit growth, with net earnings of $21.5 million or $0.39 per diluted share."

The Company noted that while systems related revenue declined 59 percent as compared with 2010, it is important to note that the nature of CREG's business model routinely results in a non-linear systems revenue flow. Sales revenue from sales of completed power plants is not necessarily indicative of future revenue flows as the Company cannot complete new systems on a routine basis. The Company's main revenue is from interest income on sales-type leases, which has been growing steadily quarter by quarter.

Analyst Reports

Rodman and Renshaw on CREG                        8/19/2011

CREG: 2Q11 Earnings Update

2Q11 Results: CREG reported revenue, Non-GAAP net income, and Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.37 MM, $2.23 MM, and $0.04, compared to our expectations of $0.29 MM, $3.28 MM, and $0.06, respectively. System sales revenue was negligible at $72.5K in 2Q10 with no systems installed during the quarter. Interest income on BOT projects increased 65.1% y-o-y to $5.49 MM from $3.32 MM in 2Q10 due to 5 new projects installed over the past twelve months. Operating income was $4.11 MM, versus $7.7 MM in 2Q10, due to a lower revenue base.

Recurring Interest Income Offset Shortfall in Sales: CREG had no system sales income during the quarter given that no project was completed or installed. However, that shortfall has been partially offset by 65.1% y-o-y increase in recurring interest income from a total of 12 currently installed systems with 121 MW of total capacity. Total interest income amounted to $5.78 MM, including $5.49 MM based on minimum payment agreement (as part of operating income) and $0.29 MM in contingent rental income (as part of top-line).

Carlyle Converted $5.0 MM to Common Shares: On July 25, the company announced Carlyle Asia Growth Partners has converted $5.0 MM worth of convertible notes into 4.3 MM shares of common stock at $1.154 per share.

Financing Remains Crucial to the Story: We were slightly disappointed that management again did not provide any meaningful color on potential contract wins and revenue visibility. We understand that it should be challenging for the company to execute on new projects without sufficient financing resources under acceptable terms. Management did disclose that CREG has signed a number of MOUs with many state-owned industrial users under China Cinda umbrella. However in order to turn MOUs to real contracts, CREG will have to demonstrate its ability to secure financing, and we believe the company is currently in the process of obtaining project funding, therefore any funding related announcement may be viewed as a catalyst for CREG stock.

Financial Estimates: We continue to expect at least the 25 MW Eardos IV project to be completed in 3Q11, and that should lead to the system sales of ~$27 MM and a total of installed capacity of 146 MW by the end of 3Q. Based on these assumptions, we are now expecting revenue, interest income on projects, Non-GAAP earnings to be $27.3 MM, $5.65 MM, $6.86, with EPS of $0.11. For full year FY11, we are projecting top-line of $81.6 MM, $22.6 MM in recurring interesting income, $24.1 MM in bottom-line, and $0.41 in diluted EPS.

Valuation: At current levels CREG is trading at P/E multiples of ~4.0x to our FY11 Non-GAAP earnings estimates. This is well below averages of ~30.0x for US domestic ESCOs, and ~22.0x for China/HK listed comparables.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "As expected, the second quarter 2011 showed steady growth in net income, significant increase in interest income from the leasing of our systems and decreased revenue as compared to last year's second quarter. CREG booked net income growth of 16.6% and interest income growth on sales type leasing of 65.4% in the first six months of 2011 as compared to the corresponding period of 2010. The decrease in sales was anticipated since there were no system completions and revenue from system sales booked in the second quarter. Erdos Phase III, a 25 MW heat power generation system, is expected to be completed in the next several months, bringing our annual capacity to 146 MW, an increase of roughly 20% by year-end 2011."

Under Leasing Agreement, Xi’an TCH transfers its ownership of a set of 7MW steam turbine waste heat power generation system and four furnaces and its ancillary apparatus (the “Assets”) to Cinda Financial for a consideration of RMB 42.50 million (approximately US$6.64 million), and Cinda Financial in turn leases the Assets to Xi’an TCH for a term of 5 years with an overall leasing fee of RMB 51.54 million (approximately US$8.05 million) based upon the transfer cost and the benchmark interest rate for five year loans by People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) (presently 6.65% per annum) plus 15% of that rate (which at present rate will result in an interest rate of 7.6475%).  The interest rate will increase if the five year benchmark interest rate of PBOC increases but will remain the same if the benchmark rate decreases in the future.  Xi’an TCH shall make pro rata quarterly payments to Cinda Financial for the leasing fees. Upon the completion of the leasing term and full payment of all leasing fees and other fees, Xi’an TCH can pay RMB4,250 (approximately US$664) to acquire the ownership of the Assets as is at the end of the lease.

In addition to the leasing fees, Xi’an TCH shall pay a one time non-refundable leasing service charge of RMB2,550,000 (approximately US$398,438) and a refundable security deposit of RMB, 2,125,000 (US$332,031) to Cinda Financial.

Upon its execution of the Leasing Agreement, Cinda Financial has paid entire transfer price of RMB 42.50 million to Xi’an TCH and Xi’an TCH has transferred the ownership of the Assets to the Cinda Financial. The Assets have been in the procession of and used by Xi’an TCH and will continue to be processed and used by Xi’an TCH under Leasing Agreement.

CREG: Higher Power Price Should Be A Positive

China Raises Power Prices In 15 Provinces: China has raised prices for electricity used for industrial, commercial and agricultural purposes across the country's 15 provinces and municipalities by 16.7 yuan (about 2.57 U.S. dollars) per 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kwh), while electricity prices for residential use remained unchanged, according to the National Development and Reform Commission. The 15 provinces include Shanxi, Qinghai, Gansu, Jiangxi, Hainan, Shaanxi, Shandong, Hunan, Chongqing, Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Hebei and Guizhou.

Key Takeaways: On a macro level, we view this price hike as a positive for CREG’s business since its solutions are primarily considered as alternatives to traditional power generation model from coal-fired plants. The company’s main operating region, Shaanxi province is included on the list announced by NDRC, and we believe CREG may have an opportunity to renegotiate with its customers on the prices, benefit from higher margins in future contracts or benefit from potentially stronger demand from large industrial users seeking cheaper power solutions. The company’s strategic partner, China Cinda Asset Management, may also push its state-owned subsidiaries to adopt CREG’s energy recycling solutions to lower their operating costs.

Shelf Filing: CREG filed a $200 MM shelf offering last week that caused a pull back in the stock. We believe the filing is not effective yet. We would be surprised to see the company execute on the shelf at current stock levels given the negative dilutive implications for existing shareholders.

Valuation: At current levels CREG is trading at P/E multiples of ~4.4x to our FY11 Non-GAAP earnings estimates. These multiples are well below averages of 9x for small cap Chinese Cleantech companies listed in the US, 38x for US domestic ESCOs, and 22x for China/HK listed comparables. We believe CREG should be trading in line with the industry given the growth opportunity associated with it. We are comfortable maintaining a $6.00 price target on CREG, which translates into P/E multiples of 8.6x to our estimates for FY11. We believe these are reasonable multiples given that historically clean technology and environmental remediation companies have traded within a range of 8x to 25x on a P/E basis.

Risks

(1) Customer Concentration (2) Competitive Market (from other ESCOs and state-owned companies’ in-house build out) (3) Dilution Risks (4) Financial Leverage (5) Dependence On Supplier Relationships (6) Outsourcing Cost May Go Up

Investor Alert

Some History: (Reveals that CREG was born from a previous failed RTO)

On June 23, 2004, we completed a stock exchange transaction with the stockholders of Sifang Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Sifang Holdings”). The exchange was consummated under Nevada and Cayman Islands law pursuant to the terms of a Securities Exchange Agreement, dated June 23, 2004 by and among Boulder Acquisitions, Sifang Holdings and the stockholders of Sifang Holdings. Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement, we issued 13,782,636 shares of our common stock to the stockholders of Sifang Holdings, representing approximately 89.7% of our post-exchange issued and outstanding common stock, for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Sifang Holdings.

Effective August 6, 2004, we changed our name from Boulder Acquisitions, Inc. to China Digital Wireless, Inc.  From August 2004 to December 2006, we primarily engaged in pager and mobile phone distribution and provided value added information services to the customers in the PRC.  We phased out and scaled down most of the business of mobile phone distribution and provision of pager and mobile phone value-added information services, and on May 10, 2007, the Company approved and announced that it ceased and discontinued these businesses.

In December 2006, we began to conduct business in the energy saving and recycling industry, including purchasing certain equipment, devices, hardware and software for the construction and installation of TRT systems and other renewable energy products. TRT is an electricity generating system that utilizes the exhaust pressure and heat produced in the blast furnace of steel mills to generate electricity. It has commercial value for the steel mills by using waste heat and steam to produce electricity for the operation of the mills

CREG: 1Q11 Earnings Update

1Q11 Results: CREG reported revenue, Non-GAAP net income, and Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $11.6 MM, $5.3 MM, and $0.10, compared to our expectations of $7.6 MM, $10.2 MM, and $0.15, respectively. System sales revenue grew by 14.2% y-o-y from $10.1 MM in 1Q10 but down 84.7% sequentially from $31.8 MM in 4Q10. Interest income on BOT projects increased 62.9% y-o-y to $5.14 MM.

Erdos Phase II Drives Revenue: CREG recorded $11.56 MM in total revenues, including $11.27 MM in system sales revenue from the completion of the third 9 MW WHPG system for Erdos Phase II, and a $0.29 MM in contingent rental income from Tongchuan Shengwei project. Total top-line grew at a 14.2% pace y-o-y from a year ago.

Interest Income: During the quarter, the company reported $5.14 MM in interest income from sales type leases, which represents the minimum periodic revenue guaranteed by its customers. Interest income increased 66.3% y-o-y from $3.15 MM in 1Q10 and 9.2% sequentially from $4.71 MM in 4Q10. Total installed capacity at end of 1Q11 was 112 MW, and management expects the third 9 MW Erdos WHPG system to start running in 2Q11, to bring the total interest generating installed capacity to 121 MW in 2Q11.

Outlook: Management indicated that Erdos Phase III, a 25 MW WHPG system, should be finished during 3Q11, bringing the total installed capacity to 146 MW. Additionally during the earnings call management told analysts and investors to stay tuned for more updates on new project contract wins and potential M&A transactions. In our view, the nature of CREG’s business model requires material external financing to win large sized contracts, and potentially rising financing cost may hurt the company’s bottom-line. We believe the ability to secure strategic financing with lower interest should be critical to the company’s success.

2Q11 Estimates: For 2Q11, we are now projecting revenue, interest income, Non-GAAP earnings and EPS of $0.29 MM, $6.44 MM, $6.69 MM, and $0.06 per share. We assume no major system sales during 2Q and therefore the income stream will be primarily driven by interest income on installed systems with ~121 MW total capacity. We project $6.67 MM in operating income due to a higher installed capacity in 2Q and more running hours compared to 1Q holiday break. For the full year, we are now expecting $82.73 MM for top-line, $27.83 MM for interest income, $32.03 MM for Non-GAAP earnings, and $0.54 per diluted EPS.

Valuation: At current levels CREG is trading at P/E multiples of ~3.7x to our FY11 Non-GAAP earnings estimates. These multiples are well below averages of 4.4x for small cap Chinese Cleantech companies listed in the US, 29.2x for US domestic ESCOs, and 23.2x for China/HK listed comparables. We believe CREG should be trading in line with the industry given the growth opportunity associated with it. We are comfortable maintaining a $6.00 price target on CREG, which translates into P/E multiples of 8.6x to our estimates for FY11.

  • Net income was $4.56 million, up 108.2% from $2.19 million for the first quarter of 2010.
  • Total Operating Income grew by 52.1% to $8.25 million from $5.42 million in the previous year.
  • Fully diluted EPS of $0.09, as compared to $0.05 for the first quarter of 2010.
  • On adjusted Non-GAAP measures, as defined below, non-GAAP net income grew to $5.3 million, or non-GAAP fully diluted EPS of $0.10, as compared to $3.9 million, or fully diluted EPS of $0.08, for the same period of 2010.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "We are very pleased with our first quarter 2011 financial results. CREG booked revenue growth of 14.2% in the quarter as compared to the corresponding quarter 2010. An increase in sales and interest income led to the rise in our revenue and net income during this three month period."

Mr. Ku continued, "In terms of completing projects, we had a very productive quarter. We are excited to announce that we have completed and booked the sale of the third 9MW capacity power station as a part of Erdos Phase II project. We are now in the midst of constructing Erdos Phase III, a 25 MW waste heat power generation system, which we anticipate will be completed in the third quarter of 2011, bringing our total capacity close to 146 MW."

"On an on-going basis, CREG employs its expertise to find more avenues to recycle energy and provide saving to new types of energy intensive industries. We have a wealth of projects ahead of us, some that we will embark upon and even more that we will evaluate and select for our energy recovery services down the road. China Cinda, one of our strategic partners, has provided CREG referrals to many of their industrial clients and we expect to source clientele from those relationships in the future. Right now, we are evaluating additional strategic financing options for our projects, and anticipate reducing the interest cost in this area in the future. We look forward to updating the investment community as more large projects are formerly signed and financed," concluded Mr. Ku.

CREG: 4Q10 Earnings Update

4Q10 Results: CREG reported revenue, net income, and diluted EPS of $31.8 MM, $5.8 MM, and $0.12, compared to our expectations of $24.8 MM, $5.1 MM, and $0.10, respectively. On a Non-GAAP basis, excluding the non-cash charges, earnings and diluted EPS for the quarter were $9.3 MM and $0.19 per share. System sales revenue grew by 207.5% y-o-y from $10.35 MM in 4Q09 and 186.2% sequentially from $11.1 MM in 3Q10. Interest income on BOT projects increased 57.2% y-o-y to $4.7 MM.

Full Year Results: On a full year basis, the company generated revenue, earnings, and diluted EPS of $75.6 MM, $16.0 MM, and $0.33 per share. Excluding non-cash charges, full year Non-GAAP earnings and diluted EPS would be $25.9 MM and $0.52 respectively. Full year system sales grew by 70.9% from FY09, while interest income on BOT projects was up 112% y-o-y to $15.14 MM.

Expect Strong Project Pipeline in FY11: We expect the Cinda relationship should bring more large-sized industrial enterprises onto CREG’s customer list in 2011. During the earnings call, management indicated that Erdos phase 4 and phase 5 should come in place this year, and Erdos will continue to play a significant role driving FY11 top-line. Additionally management mentioned a pending project from a customer that is potentially larger than Erdos. If this is the case, we should see some upside in CREG’s top-line once the contract is awarded. However, we are not factoring in any revenue contribution in our revenue model from this project.

Revising Estimates: Currently we are expecting the company to generate 1Q11 revenue, Non-GAAP net income, and diluted EPS of $7.6 MM, $10.2 MM, and $0.15. We are projecting $7.6 MM in system sales and $9.5 MM in interest income on BOT projects. For the full year, our projections are now $44.9 MM in system sales, $44.2 MM in BOT project income, $36.5 MM in Non-GAAP earnings, and $0.70 in diluted EPS.

Valuation: At current levels CREG is trading at P/E multiples of ~3.7x to our FY11 Non-GAAP earnings estimates. These multiples are well below averages of 4.4x for small cap Chinese Cleantech companies listed in the US, 29.2x for US domestic ESCOs, and 23.2x for China/HK listed comparables. We believe CREG should be trading in line with the industry given the growth opportunity associated with it. We are comfortable maintaining a $6.00 price target on CREG, which translates into P/E multiples of 8.6x to our estimates for FY11. We believe these are reasonable multiples given that historically clean technology and environmental remediation companies have traded within a range of 8x to 25x on a P/E basis.

CFO Trail

XI'AN, China, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Recycling Energy Corp.  today announced that the company has appointed experienced industry veteran David Chong as its Chief Financial Officer and Secretary effective immediately. The company's previous CFO and Secretary, Tony Peng, resigned effective December 30, 2010.


Analyst Reports

Rodman & Renshaw on CREG                                   1/06/2011

CREG: New CFO Appointed 

The Appointment: CREG announced that it has appointed David Chong to replace Tony Peng as the company’s new Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, effective immediately. David Chong has over 20 years of experience in financial management, corporate governance, and capital market activities for mid/large sized companies. Chong has been hired as a consultant to CREG since June 2010 and has assisted the company on non-deal road shows and investor relations. Before joining CREG, Chong was the CFO for Guangdong Yan Zhi Hong Shoes Manufacturing Co., Ltd, a Chinese shoe manufacturer. Prior to that, he was a financial controller at Amtek Engineering (M1P-SES, Not Rated), a Singapore manufacturer of precision metal, plastic, and rubber components, where he ran the financial management for six plants in China. Chong will be based in Xi’an City, Shaanxi province.

Key Takeaways: We believe David Chong’s appointment should be a pre-cursor to a more proactive IR effort by CREG.

Valuation: At current levels CREG is trading at P/E multiples of ~6.4x and ~4.0x to our FY10 and FY11 earnings estimates. These multiples are well below averages of 8.6x and 6.4x for small cap Chinese Cleantech companies listed in the US, 39.7x and 22.8x for US domestic ESCOs, and 31.9x and 24.6x for China/HK listed comparables. We believe CREG should be trading in line with the industry given the growth opportunity associated with it. We are comfortable assigning CREG a $6.00 price target, which translates into P/E multiples of 12.9x and 8.2x to our estimates for FY10 and FY11. We believe these are reasonable multiples given that historically clean technology and environmental remediation companies have traded within a range of 8x to 25x on a P/E basis.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "We are very pleased with the Company's performance in the third quarter and remain highly confident that we will reach our stated financial goals for the year. Although the revenues posted were modest in comparison to our year ago quarter, we achieved solid income and continue to execute well on our BOT business model and growth strategy. In the quarter, we successfully completed and delivered to Zhongbao Binhai Nickel Co., a 7 MegaWatt ('MW') capacity Waste Heat Power Generation ('WHPG') system that has a term of nine years. We are now ardently focused on completing Phase II and III of the Erdos Power Generation Project in the final months of 2010 and preparing for a very busy, successful 2011 project year."

2010 Business Guidance

  • reaffirms its guidance for revenue for 2010 in the range of $68 million -$72 million
  • raises its guidance for net income, excluding non-cash charges, from previous $18 million - $20 million, to $22 million. The reason for raising the guidance for net income is due to the estimated increase of profit margin, as a result of contingent rental income that is earned from actual electricity charge in addition to minimum lease payments of some projects for the year.

Sunday, August 22, 2010

Comments & Business Outlook

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010:

  • Revenues grew 102% to $22.54 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from $11.14 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
  • Income from operations grew 140% to $9.06 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from $3.83 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
  • Net income grew to $5.04 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from $3.23 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
  • Fully diluted earning per share ("EPS") of $0.10 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.07 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
  • On an adjusted Non-GAAP basis, the Company reported Non-GAAP net income of $7.42 million, or non-GAAP fully diluted EPS of $0.15 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to $3.44 million, or fully diluted EPS of $0.08, for the same period in 2009.

Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and CEO of CREG commented, "Our Company continues to deliver superior financial and operating results on every level. I am very pleased to report tremendous growth on both our top and bottom line results. All of our projects are at or ahead of schedule, including Phase II and III of the Erdos Power Generation Project, which is expected to be completed in 2010."

Mr. Ku continued, "I am also pleased to announce that we expanded our energy recycling efforts to include Biomass Power Generation Systems (BPGS) which we recently acquired. Biomass is an important renewable energy resource and is one of the main strategic energy alternatives to conventional energy sources. It contains all the features of high power generation efficiency while protecting and improving the environment and benefiting from strong government incentive programs. To this extent, we successfully executed a new contract with Pucheng Biomass Power Generation Company. The agreement will allow us to have a minimum of $3.3 million per year in cash inflow for the next 15 years. BPGS will play an important role in our revenue growth going forward and expand our existing waste-to-energy business model to now include agriculture waste-to-energy."

Subsequent Event

On August 13, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized the grant of options for an aggregate of 2,200,000 shares of common stock to be issued to 36 employees, including options for 1,460,000 shares granted to Guohua Ku, the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, with an exercise price of the closing price on the date of grant.

2010 Business Guidance

The Company reaffirms its guidance that:

  • Revenue for 2010 will be in the range of $68 million to $72 million.
  • Net income, excluding non-cash charges, of $18 million to $20 million.

These targets are based on the Company's current views on operating and market conditions, which are subject to change. Non-GAAP EPS Figures exclude certain non-operating gains and losses as well as certain non-cash items. Non-GAAP information should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for reported, or GAAP information .

Research

On June 29, 2010, Xi’an TCH Energy Technology Co., Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of China Recycling Energy Corporation entered into a Biomass Power Generation Asset Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with Xueyi Dong, a natural person with Chinese citizenship.

Comments & Business Outlook

Guidance Report: 

Mr. Ku said, 'Looking forward, we are encouraged that the Chinese government has earmarked $31 billion, or 5% of the country's $584-billion stimulus package, for the creation of a sustainable environment. We believe the bulk of the spending will be to reduce the pollution generated by heavy-industrial plants in Northern and Western China, stimulating the growth of the use of low-emission and energy-efficient power generators by our customers in the steel, cement and chemical sectors. Considering this robust market condition, we expect to complete at least 3 projects this year, including Shengwei's phase two which should be completed in the second quarter of 2009, with a projected product sales of approximately $8 million and additional interest income of approximately $1 million in 2009.'
