EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This first amendment to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed by Recon Technology, Ltd (the “Company”) to amend the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 16, 2011 (the “Original Filing”).  

 

On December 6, 2011, the Audit Committee of the Company concluded that the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Original Filing should no longer be relied upon. In particular, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that, in light of a December 16, 2010 change in the equity ownership of Jining ENI Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese company (“ENI”), the Company ceased to have the power to direct the activities of ENI that most significantly affect its economic performance as of the date of transfer. As a result, ENI ceased to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) of the Company and its financial results should not have been consolidated with those of the Company beginning December 16, 2010. In addition, based on the information that has made available to management subsequent to the Original Filing for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company realized there was an overstatement of reported revenue that was caused by an input error. As a result, the Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to amend and restate the Original Filing.

Overview

 

We are a company with limited liability incorporated in 2007 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Headquartered in Beijing, we provide products and services to oil and gas companies and their affiliates through our contractually controlled affiliates (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”), Beijing BHD Petroleum Technology Co. Ltd. (“BHD”), Nanjing Recon Technology Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Recon”) and Jining ENI Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“ENI”) (through December 15, 2010) (collectively, the “Domestic Companies”). ENI was one of our contractually controlled affiliates until December 16, 2010, when we ceased to have the power to direct its activities following a change of ownership. As a result of such change, ENI ceased to be our VIE starting December 16, 2010.

 

Through our contractual relationships with the Domestic Companies, we provide equipment, tools and other hardware related to oilfield production and management, and develop and sell our own specialized industrial automation control and information solutions. However, we do not engage in the production of petroleum or petroleum products.

 

We derive our revenues from the sales and provision of (1) hardware products, (2) software products, and (3) services. Our products and services involve most of the key procedures of the extraction and production of oil and gas, and include automation systems, equipment, tools and on-site technical services. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, 96.64% of our revenue came from the sales of hardware and 3.36% from the provision of our services. We did not recognize any revenues from software sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. For the same period in 2010, hardware sales, software sales, and services constituted 91.46%, 7.77% and 0.23%, respectively, of our revenues.

 

Our VIEs provide the oil and gas industry with equipment, production technologies and automation and services.

 

	·	Nanjing Recon: Nanjing Recon is a high-tech company that specializes in automation services for oilfield companies.  It mainly focuses on providing automation solutions to the oil exploration industry, including monitoring wells, automatic metering to the joint station production, process monitor, and a variety of oilfield equipment and control systems.
	·	BHD: BHD is a high-tech company that specializes in transportation equipment and stimulation productions and services.  Possessing proprietary patents and substantial industry experience, BHD has built up stable and strong working relationships with the major oilfields in China.

 

Products and Services

 

We provide the following three types of integrated products and services for our customers.

 

Equipment for Oil and Gas Production and Transportation

 

High-Efficiency Heating Furnaces. Crude petroleum contains certain impurities that must be removed before it can be sold, including water and natural gas. To remove the impurities and to prevent solidification and blockage in transport pipes, companies employ heating furnaces. BHD researched, developed and implemented a new oilfield furnace that is advanced, highly automated, reliable, easily operable, safe and highly heat-efficient (90% efficiency).

 

 

Burner. We serve as an agent for the Unigas Burner, which is designed and manufactured by UNIGAS, a European burning equipment production company. The burner we provide has the following characteristics: high degree of automation, energy conservation, high turn-down ratio, high security and environmental safety.

 

Separator. The test separator is the key measurement device for gas and oil in metering plants. Oil and gas mixture sprays on the oil block cap after entering into the separator through the oil pipeline. The diffused oil falls along the pipe wall to the separator bottom and through the draw-off pipe. The gas rises due to its low density and changes the flow direction after concentrating by the separator umbrella. In the process, the small oil droplets in the gas adhere to the umbrella wall and fall along the wall of the pipe. The de-oiled gas enters the pipeline through the freeing pipe at the top of the separator for measurement.

 

Oil and Gas Production Improvement Techniques

 

Packers of Fracturing. This utility model is used in concert with the security joint, hydraulic anchor, and slide brushing of sand spray in the well. It is used for easy seat sealing and sand-up prevention. The utility model reduces desilting volume and prevents sand-up which makes the deblocking processes easier to realize. The back flushing is sand-stick proof.

 

Production Packer. At varying withdrawal points, the production packer separates different oil layers and protects the oil pipe from sand and permeation, promoting the recovery ratio.

 

Water Injection Packer. The water injection packer injects water into different layers rather than injecting on a large scale, which can reduce cost and promote effectiveness.

 

Fissure Shaper. This is our proprietary product that is used along with a perforating gun to effectively increase perforation depth by between 46% and 80%, shape stratum fissures, improve stratum diversion capability and, as a result, improve our ability to locate oilfields and increase the output of oil wells.

 

Sand Prevention in Oil and Water Well. This technique processes additives that are resistant to elevated temperatures into “resin sand” which is transported to the bottom of the well via carrying fluid. The “resin sand” goes through the borehole, pilling up and compacting at the borehole and oil vacancy layer. An artificial borehole wall is then formed, functioning as a means of sand prevention. This sand prevention technique has been adapted to more than 100 wells, including heavy oil wells, light oil wells, water wells and gas wells, with a 100% success rate and a 98% effective rate.

 

Water Locating and Plugging Technique. High water cut affects the normal production of oilfields. Previously, there was no sophisticated method for water locating and tubular column plugging in China. The mechanical water locating and tubular column plugging technique we have developed resolves the problem of high water cut wells. This technique conducts a self-sealing test during multi-stage usage and is reliable to separate different production sets effectively. The water location switch forms a complete set by which the water locating and plugging can be finished in one trip. The tubular column is adaptable to several oil drilling methods and is available for water locating and plugging in second and third class layers.

 

Fracture Acidizing. We inject acid to layers under pressure which can form or expand fissures. The treatment process of the acid is defined as fracture acidizing. The technique is mainly adapted to oil and gas wells that are blocked up relatively deeply, or the ones in the zones of low permeability.

 

Electronic Break-Down Service. This service resolves block-up and freezing problems by generating heat from the electric resistivity of the drive pipe and utilizing a loop tank composed of an oil pipe and a drive pipe. This technique saves energy and is environment friendly. It can increase the production of oilfields that are in the middle and later periods.

 

Automation System and Services

 

Pumping Unit Controller. Functions as a monitor to the pumping unit, and also collects data for load, pressure, voltage, and startup and shutdown control.

 

RTU Monitor. Collects gas well pressure data.

 

Wireless Dynamometer and Wireless Pressure Gauge. These products replace wired technology with cordless displacement sensor technology. They are easy to install and significantly reduce the work load associated with cable laying.

 

 

Electric Multi-way Valve for Oilfield Metering Station Flow Control. This multi-way valve is used before the test separator to replace the existing three valve manifolds. It facilitates the electronic control of the connection of the oil lead pipeline with the separator.

 

Natural Gas Flow Computer System. The flow computer system is used in natural gas stations and gas distribution stations to measure flow.

 

Recon SCADA Oilfield Monitor and Data Acquisition System. Recon SCADA is a system which applies to the oil well, measurement station, and the union station for supervision and data collection.

 

EPC Service of Pipeline SCADA System. A service technique for pipeline monitoring and data acquisition after crude oil transmission.

 

EPC Service of Oil and Gas Wells SCADA System. A service technique for monitoring and data acquisition of oil wells and natural gas wells.

 

EPC Service of Oilfield Video Surveillance and Control System. A video surveillance technique for controlling the oil and gas wellhead area and the measurement station area.

 

Technique Service for “Digital oilfield” Transformation. Includes engineering technique services such as oil and gas SCADA system, video surveillance and control system and communication systems.

 

Factors Affecting Our Business

 

Business Outlook

 

The oilfield engineering and technical service industry is generally divided into five sections: (1) exploration, (2) drilling and completion, (3) testing and logging, (4) production, and (5) oilfield construction. Thus far our businesses have only been involved in production. Our management plans to expand our core business, move into new markets, and develop new businesses. Management anticipates great opportunities both in new markets and our existing markets. We believe that many existing wells and oilfields need to improve or renew their equipment and service to maintain production and techniques and services like ours will be needed as new oil and gas fields are developed. In the next three years, we will focus on:

 

Measuring Equipment and Service. Our priority is the development of our well, pipeline and oilfield SCADA engineering project contracting service, oilfield video surveillance and control system, and reforming technical support service. According to conservative estimates, the potential market for our wireless indicator and remote monitoring system (SCADA) is approximately RMB 5 billion.

 

Gathering and Transferring Equipment. (1) Furnace. We estimate the market demand at about 2,000 units per year, of which 500 are expected to come from new wells and 1,500 are expected to come from reconstruction of old wells. The potential market is estimated at RMB 800 million (approximately $121 million) based on an average price of RMB 400,000 (approximately $60,498) per furnace. (2) Oil/water separator. We estimate the market demand at about 800 units per year, of which 300 are expected to come from new wells and 500 are expected to come from reconstruction of old wells. The potential market is about RMB 400 million (approximately $60 million) based on an average price of RMB 500,000 (approximately $75,622). (3) Burner. We estimate the market demand at about 5,000 units per year, of which 1,000 are expected to come from new wells and 4,000 are expected to come from reconstruction of old wells. The potential market is about RMB 300 million (approximately $45 million) based on an average unit price of RMB 60,000 (approximately $9,075).

 

New Business. Along with the opening of the oilfield service market to private companies, we plan to establish our own service team equipped with work-over rigs (specialized equipment used during the operation of well repairing) and coiled tubing machines. We do not currently have a timeline in place for the establishment of this service team. Only a few companies can provide this business in China at present.

 

Growth Strategy

 

As a smaller domestic company, it is our basic strategy to focus on developing our onshore oilfield business, that is, the upstream of the industry. Due to the remote location and difficult environments of China’s oil and gas fields, foreign competitors rarely enter those areas.

 

 

Large domestic oil companies prefer to focus on their exploration and development businesses to earn higher margins and keep their competitive advantage. With regard to private oilfield service companies, we estimate that approximately 90% specialize in the manufacture of drilling and production equipment. Thus, the market for technical support and project service is still in its early stage. Our management insists on providing high quality products and service in the oilfield where we have a geographical advantage. This allows us to avoid conflicts of interest with bigger suppliers of drilling equipment and keep our position within the market segment. Our mission is to increase the automation and safety levels of industrial petroleum production in China, and improve the underdeveloped working process and management mode by using advanced technologies. At the same time, we are always looking to improve our business and to increase our earning capability.

 

Industry and Recent Developments

 

Oilfield drilling and production equipment and engineering technique services are applied in the process of oil and gas extraction. Therefore, the exploration and exploitation activities of petroleum companies directly influences demand for oilfield technical services and corresponding equipment. The number of new oil and gas wells each year is a key indicator of the market and reflects the prosperity of the oilfield service industry. China is the world’s second-largest petroleum producing country, with nearly 30,000 wells drilled and annual drill depths of 49,000,000 meters. In the long run, factors affecting the development of petroleum companies include prices of oil and gas, and China’s national energy strategy. In the short to medium term, petroleum companies plan their development activities according to the level of demand.

 

Thus, the level of demand for oil and gas in the short- to medium-term affects the number of oil and gas wells. Meanwhile, well prospecting is done to ensure the supply of oil and gas in the medium to long term. At present, China is in shortage of oil and gas. The difference between supply and demand is growing. For the three state-owned petroleum companies, the top priority is to ensure the nation supply and to promote stable and increased oilfield production. The capital expenditures are determined by the national energy strategy to a large extent. Under such circumstances, despite the adverse domestic and international market conditions influencing the Chinese oil market in 2010 and 2011, the investment by petroleum companies to upstream prospecting and development continues to increase. Advanced oilfield drill equipment and technique services are in greater demand, as petroleum companies make efforts to promote effectiveness and reduce costs.

 

The Several Opinions of the State Council on Encouraging and Guiding the Healthy Development of Private Investment (the “New 36 Guidelines on Non-State-Owned Economy”) promulgated in 2010 by the State encourages private investors to take part in oil and natural gas construction, and supports private enterprise investors entering into the exploration and development of oilfield. As exploration of oil and gas fields involves a wide range of advanced technologies, it is expected that in the future the private investors investing in oil and gas field exploration will seek out general contracting and integrated services. We believe this will bring integrated service projects to our company.

 

Recently, China’s dependence on imported oil exceeded 50%, and an increasingly serious “gas shortage” also put stress on China’s energy supply. The government has decided to invest more in the construction of gas storage and long-distance natural gas transportation pipeline. Our management believes our current product lines and experience in pipeline transportation and monitoring and development of automation products could help us grow rapidly and develop to be a leader in this segment of the oilfield service industry.

 

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations — Generally

 

Our operating results in any period are subject to general conditions typically affecting the Chinese oilfield service industry including:

 

	·	the amount of spending by our customers, primarily those in the oil and gas industry;
	·	growing demand from large corporations for improved management and software designed to achieve such corporate performance;
	·	the procurement processes of our customers, especially those in the oil and gas industry;
	·	competition and related pricing pressure from other oilfield service solution providers, especially those targeting the Chinese oil and gas industry;
	·	the ongoing development of the oilfield service market in China; and

 

 

·

inflation and other macroeconomic factors.

 

Unfavorable changes in any of these general conditions could negatively affect the number and size of the projects we undertake, the number of products we sell, the amount of services we provide, the price of our products and services, and otherwise affect our results of operations.

 

Our operating results in any period are more directly affected by company-specific factors including:

 

	·	our revenue growth, in terms of the proportion of our business dedicated to large companies and our ability to successfully develop, introduce and market new solutions and services;
	·	our ability to increase our revenues from both old and new customers in the oil and gas industry in China;
	·	our ability to effectively manage our operating costs and expenses; and
	·	our ability to effectively implement any targeted acquisitions and/or strategic alliances so as to provide efficient access to markets and industries in the oil and gas industry in China.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates. The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this quarterly report. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our Company’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and useful lives of property and equipment.

 

Consolidation of VIEs

 

We recognize an entity as a VIE if it either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. We consolidate a VIE as its primary beneficiary when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against our general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on our general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when the following four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the client and the client has signed a completion and acceptance report, risk of loss has transferred to the client, client acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that the criteria specified in client acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.

 

 

Hardware

 

Revenue from hardware sales is generally recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are no unfulfilled company obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance of the arrangement.

 

Software

 

The Company sells self-developed software. For software sales, the Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of ASC 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and related interpretations. Revenue from software is recognized according to project contracts. Contract costs are accumulated during the periods of installation and testing or commissioning. Usually this is short term. Revenue is not recognized until completion of the contracts and receipt of acceptance statements.

 

Services

 

The Company provides services to improve software functions and system requirements on separated fixed-price contracts. Revenue is recognized when services are completed and acceptance is determined by a completion report signed by the customer.

 

Deferred income represents unearned amounts billed to customers related to sales contracts.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

When the criteria for revenue recognition have been met, costs incurred are recognized as cost of revenue. Cost of revenues includes wages, materials, handling charges, the cost of purchased equipment and pipes, and other expenses associated with manufactured products and services provided to customers. We expect cost of revenues to grow as our revenues grow. It is possible that we could incur development costs with little revenue recognition, but based upon our past history, we expect our revenues to grow.

 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for trade accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances from customers and notes payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Trade receivables are carried at original invoiced amount less a provision for any potential uncollectible amounts. Provisions are applied to trade receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balance may not be collectible. The identification of doubtful accounts requires the use of judgment and estimates of management. Our management must make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our allowance for trade accounts receivable was ¥1,089,331 and ¥2,181,639 ($332,056) on June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

We record property and equipment at cost. We depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives using the following annual rates:

 

Items		Useful life
Motor Vehicles		5-10 years
Office Equipment		2-5 years
Leasehold Improvements		5 years

 

We expense maintenance and repair expenditures as they do not improve or extend an asset’s productive life. These estimates are reasonably likely to change in the future since they are based upon matters that are highly uncertain such as general economic conditions, potential changes in technology and estimated cash flows from the use of these assets.

 

 

Depreciation expense was ¥263,036 and ¥278,532 ($42,392) for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

 

		June 30, 2010				March 31, 2011				March 31, 2011

Property and equipment, net		¥	1,482,881			¥	1,190,091			$	181,137

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

 

We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, we project undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition over the remaining life of the asset. If projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset will not be recovered, we reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the projected discounted cash flows. In the past, we have not had to make significant adjustments to the carrying values of our long-lived assets, and we do not anticipate a need to do so in the future. However, circumstances could cause us to have to reduce the value of our capitalized software more rapidly than we have in the past if our revenues were to significantly decline. Estimated cash flows from the use of the long-lived assets are highly uncertain and therefore the estimation of the need to impair these assets is reasonably likely to change in the future. Should the economy or acceptance of our software change in the future, it is likely that our estimate of the future cash flows from the use of these assets will change by a material amount.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following consolidated results of operations include the result of operations of the Company, all of its subsidiaries and VIEs, including BHD, Nanjing Recon and ENI (through December 15, 2010). The results of operations are of those of the VIEs. On December 16, 2010, ENI changed its equity ownership. We ceased to have the power to direct the activities of ENI, which most significantly impact its economic performance as of that date. As a result of the Company’s determination to deconsolidate ENI, ENI’s results of operations have been consolidated in the Company’s results of operations only through December 15, 2010.

Our total revenues were ¥8,761,599 ($1,333,556) for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 66.67%, or ¥17,526,765 ($2,677,656), from ¥26,288,364 during the same period in 2010. During this three-month period, our sales of transportation equipment increased by 20.42%, automation business decreased by 61.82%, while sales of accessory decreased to zero, respectively. The decrease in our revenues for the three-month period was due to the following challenges:

 

 

(1)

The decrease of hardware sales was mainly caused by the deconsolidation of ENI and the sharp decrease of accessory trading business, in which ENI acted as an agent to obtain purchase orders on our behalf. In light of the ownership change of ENI on December 16, 2010, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that ENI is no longer a VIE and the Company should not include ENI’s operations in the Company’s operating results starting December 16, 2010. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, revenue contributed by ENI was ¥11,913,405. In view of the following facts, our management believe even though ENI’s not being a VIE caused short-term loss for us, it will not affect our long-term development:

 

	i.	Some of ENI’s large clients, especially Sinopec, adjusted their procurement policies, to increase direct purchases from strategic manufacturers rather than purchase from agencies. Business for ENI therefore decreased gradually since the second half of 2010. For the first three months of 2011, there was even less revenue in this respect;
	ii.	Additionally, our former Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Li Hongqi, resigned effective January 31, 2011. When Mr. Li resigned, we lost some of our working relationship with Sinopec and other large companies. Without such relationship, it became difficult for us to compete with large strategic suppliers taken up by the large oil companies under their new procurement policies.

 

	(2)	To adjust and correct an overstatement of reported revenue, based on information that was made available to management subsequent to the Original Filing for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company realized that there was a double-counting of revenues from 3 specific contracts which amounted to RMB 5,191,897. The double-counting was caused by an input error that was not detected during the normal course of the quarter book close. To determine the nature and extent of this accounting error, the Company performed a thorough review of all revenues recognized during the quarter and concluded that the error identified was a mistake which resulted in the overstatement of the Company’s reported revenue, tax payable and accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010. To correct the overstatement, the Company recorded an adjustment in this amended and restated quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A to reduce revenue by RMB 5,191,897, imposed value-added tax by RMB 882,663, and reported accounts receivable by RMB 6,074,520.
	(3)	Project delays also contributed to the decrease in our revenues. Our equipment and service terminals can only be assembled and operated after completion of field infrastructure. Currently, our major on-going projects are all located in Jidong Oilfield and Weston Sichuan Gas Field, which are both newly developed oil and gas fields with relatively long construction periods. Since some of our clients have not finished their oilfield construction, which in turn caused delays in our projects, we could not provide equipment to our clients and recognize the corresponding revenue as scheduled.

 

Even though ENI ceased to be one of our VIEs and its operating results are deconsolidated from ours starting December 16, 2010, management believes such change will not determine our long-term business development for the following reasons:

 

	(1)	We continue to develop and expand our operations in oilfields, such as some of the subsidiaries of CNPC and Sinopec, which do not overlap with ENI’s existing business and were not affected by its deconsolidation.
	(2)	ENI was predominantly focused on trading, a business model vulnerable to and subject to frustration by the changes in its major clients’ procurement policies.
	(3)	Our management is placing a greater emphasis on our own branded products and our services. The deconsolidation of ENI allows us to allocate working capital and focus on the growth of our own product offering.

Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues includes raw materials and costs related to the design, implementation, delivery and maintenance of products and services. We are a light-asset company, and all materials and components we need can be purchased or manufactured under contract. Usually the price of electronic components does not fluctuate substantially, due to competitive forces, and it will not significantly affect our cost. The sale of specialized equipment and incentive chemical products can be influenced directly if the price for metal and oil changes. Additionally, the price for some imported accessories designated by our clients can also impact our cost.

 

Our cost of revenues decreased from ¥14,538,530 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to ¥7,321,069 ($1,114,301) for the same period of 2011, a decrease of ¥7,217,461 ($1,098,531), or 49.64%.

 

	(1)	The decrease of costs was mainly due to the deconsolidation of ENI, which accounted for ¥6,653,977 ($1,012,766); and
	(2)	Cost for operations decreased by ¥563,483 ($85,765), which were mainly due to project delays.

 

As a percentage of revenues, however, our cost of revenues increased from 55.30% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 83.56% in the same period of 2011. The increase was mainly caused by the delay of some key projects. As we move forward with those delayed projects, we expect our revenue to increase and the cost as a percentage of revenues to return to prior levels.

 

Gross Profit. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our gross profit decreased to ¥1,440,530 ($219,255) from ¥11,749,835 for the same period in 2010, a decrease of ¥10,309,305 ($1,569,125), or 87.74%. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 16.44%, from 44.70% for the same period in 2010. The erosion in gross margin was caused mainly by:

 

	(1)	The deconsolidation of ENI, accounting for almost half of the drop in gross profit in the amount of ¥5,259,428 ($800,510) for the three-month period; and
	(2)	Project delays as discussed above, which is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s long-term operating results when these projects finally are completed.

 

A higher margin is very important to ensure the growth of our business. Additionally, as more domestic peer companies go public in the Chinese capital markets, the oilfield service industry is becoming more competitive. To maintain our position and profitability in our market, our management plan to focus our efforts on research and development of our products and expansion of service offerings. During the past two years, we have increased our investment of resources in our research and development, and are in the process of obtaining two more patents and other intellectual property rights.

 

Due to the capital- and technology-intensive nature of our industry, continued capital investment and a higher barrier to entry make it possible for equipment suppliers and service providers to earn high profits. It is our strategy to improve our operating results by winning more projects and increasing both the type and the volume of services we provide. To that end, we aim to increase our registered capital so as to be eligible for bigger projects. We are also developing new products to expand the products and services we offer.

Selling and Distribution Expenses. Selling and distribution expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenditures for the sales and marketing department, sales commissions, costs of marketing programs (including public relations, advertising and trade shows) and an allocation of our facilities and depreciation expenses. Selling expenses decreased by 6.95%, from ¥1,534,090 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to ¥1,427,471 ($217,268) for the same period of 2011. This decrease is mainly attributed to the deconsolidation of ENI. As to operations, selling expenses increased mainly due to the increase of salaries. The percentage of selling expenses in relation to revenue increased from 5.84% to 16.29%, mainly caused by the decrease in revenue. Our management believe the selling and distribution expenses are reasonable, and, as our revenue returns to a normal level, selling and distribution expenses as a percentage of revenue will decrease and remain stable in the long run.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs from our human resources, facilities costs, depreciation expenses, professional advisor fees, audit fees and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. General and administrative expenses increased from ¥3,337,591 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to ¥3,300,181 ($502,303) for the same period of 2011. General and administrative expenses were 12.70% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 37.67% of total revenues for the same period of 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to increased salaries and additional expenses related to the preparation of the ultimately withdrawn secondary offering.

Income (loss) from Operations. Due to the deconsolidation of ENI, project delays caused by construction delays experienced by some of our customers, and the expenses associated with human resources and being a public company, our revenue during the period decreased while our administrative expenses increased, causing our income from operations for the period to decrease by ¥10,165,275 ($1,547,202) to a loss of ¥3,287,122 ($500,315) for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to an income of ¥6,878,153 for the same period of 2010.

 

Subsidy Income. We received grants of ¥20,000 and ¥341,025 ($51,906) from the local government for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. These grants were given by the government in the form of income tax return to support local companies in developing high technology and improving their products.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is not likely that the asset will be realized. We have not been subject to any income taxes in the United States or the Cayman Islands. Enterprises doing business in the PRC are generally subject to federal (state) enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%; however, Nanjing Recon and BHD were granted the certification of High Technology Enterprise and are taxed at a rate of 15% for taxable income generated. The applicable tax rate for each of our subsidiaries changed in the past few years because of their qualifications and different local policies. For calendar year 2011, Nanjing Recon and BHD were taxed at a rate of 15%. Our effective EIT burden will vary, depending on which of our domestic companies generate greater revenue.

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was ¥2,082,802 and income tax benefit was ¥290,173 ($44,166), respectively. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in taxable operating income.

 

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Ordinary Shareholders. As a result of the factors described above, there was a net loss of ¥2,011,609 ($306,176) attributable to ordinary shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 144.46%, or ¥6,533,960, from a net income of ¥4,524,351 for the same period of 2010.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense, interest expense, non-cash stock compensation expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense and loss resulting from the deconsolidation of a VIE. 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.

 

		For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2011 RMB				2010 RMB				Increase (Decrease)				Percentage Change				2011 USD
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss):
Net income (loss)		¥	(2,477,119	)		¥	5,172,178			¥	(7,643,297	)			(147.78	)%		$	(376,116	)

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by ¥10,134,897, or 129.57%, to a loss of ¥2,312,971 ($352,045) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This was due to adverse operating results of ENI, especially the non-collectable purchase advance, loss of deconsolidation, the delays in projects caused by construction delays at some of our customers, and the extra expenses associated with our annual meeting and our withdrawn secondary offering. These factors caused revenues during the period to decrease and our administrative expenses to increase. Compared to net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, we believe EBITDA more accurately reflects our operations.

Revenues. Our total revenues were ¥62,744,656 ($9,550,031), a decrease of 36.52% from ¥98,834,057 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. During this nine-month period, our automation business decreased by 38.25%, sales of transportation equipment decreased by 6.78% and our accessory sales business decreased by 56.47%. This was mainly attributable to the deconsolidation of ENI’s operating results starting December 15, 2010, together with ENI’s shrinking accessory agency business and delays in some of our projects caused by our clients’ field construction.

Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues decreased by 25.20%, or ¥14,112,950, from ¥56,007,688 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to ¥41,894,738 ($6,376,575) for the same period of 2011. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenues increased from 56.67% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to 66.77% for the same period of 2011. This increase was a result of (1) the decline of our agency trading business which resulted in the loss of our high margin orders, leaving us with only smaller orders with smaller margins and deconsolidation of ENI, and (2) unfinished service projects, that have higher margins.

 

Gross Profit. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, our gross profit decreased to ¥20,849,918 ($3,173,455) from ¥42,826,369 for the same period of 2010, a decrease of ¥21,976,451, or approximately 51.32%. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, our gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 33.23%, from 43.33% for the same period of 2010. Our management believes it is necessary to adjust our business structure to maintain a higher margin ratio. We plan to accomplish this by focusing more on our automation business and our own branded products and services, while shifting our focus away from agency sales, which provide a lower margin. As we deconsolidated ENI as one of our VIEs on December 16, 2010, we believe we are moving more quickly towards such a goal.

Selling and Distribution Expenses. Selling expenses decreased by 13.95%, from ¥7,557,188 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to ¥6,502,942 ($989,778) for the same period of 2011. This decrease is mainly attributable to deconsolidation of ENI and our stable long-term relationship with CNPC, as expenses associated with maintaining their business decreased.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 171.38%, or ¥16,800,871, from ¥9,803,491 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to ¥26,604,362 ($4,049,309) for the same period of 2011. General and administrative expenses were 9.92% of total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 42.40% of total revenues for the same period of 2011. This percentage increase was primarily attributable to (1) the write-off of ENI’s non-collectable advanced payment to vendors, (2) higher expenses related to being a public company, particularly those associated with the annual shareholder meeting, director meetings and investor relations services, and (3) an increase of expenses related to our planned secondary offering, which was withdrawn due to unfavorable market conditions.

Income (Loss) from Operations. There was a loss from operations in the amount of ¥(12,257,386) ($(1,865,631)) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to an income of ¥25,465,690 for the same period of 2010, due to lower revenue because of the deconsolidation of a VIE on December 16, 2010 and higher administrative expenses.

 

Subsidy Income. We received grants of ¥1,178,034 and ¥792,545 ($120,629) from the local government for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. These grants were given by the government in the form of income tax return to support local companies in developing advanced technology and improving their products.

 

Loss on Deconsolidation. As a result of the deconsolidation of ENI, we suffered a loss of ¥8,989,614 ($1,368,261), which amount was measured as the difference between (a) the aggregate of (i) the fair value of any consideration received, (ii) the fair value of the retained non-controlling investment in ENI at the date in which ENI was deconsolidated, and (iii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest in ENI; and (b) the carrying value of the net assets and liabilities of ENI as of December 15, 2010. Our management believes it was an unusual loss and is in the process of initiating a series of safeguards to prevent this from happening in the future.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 was ¥7,189,566 and ¥713,912 ($108,661), respectively. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in taxable operating income and lower effective tax rates.

 

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Ordinary Shareholders. As a result of the factors described above, there was a net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders in the amount of ¥21,845,298 ($3,324,957) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 227.45% from a net income of ¥17,502,923 for the same period of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by ¥38,318,001 ($5,832,179), or 135.68%, to a loss of ¥9,754,933 ($1,484,747) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This was due to the deconsolidation of ENI, delayed projects resulting from construction delays experienced by some of our customers, and the extra expenses we incurred associated with our annual meeting and our withdrawn secondary offering. These factors caused revenues during the period to decrease and the administrative expenses to increase. Compared to net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, we believe adjusted EBITDA more accurately reflects our operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid short-term debt investments with stated maturities of no more than six months. As of March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of ¥7,272,160 ($1,106,857).

 

 

Indebtedness. As of March 31, 2011, except for ¥4,933,537 ($750,907) of short-term borrowings and a ¥5,000,000 ($761,023) commercial loan from a local bank, we did not have any finance leases or hire purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

 

Holding Company Structure. We are a holding company with no operations of our own. All of our operations are conducted through our Domestic Companies. As a result, our ability to pay dividends and to finance any debt that we may incur is dependent upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from the Domestic Companies. In addition, Chinese legal restrictions permit payment of dividends to us by our Domestic Companies only out of its accumulated net profit, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. Under Chinese law, our Domestic Companies are required to set aside a portion (at least 10%) of its after-tax net income (after discharging all cumulated loss), if any, each year for compulsory statutory reserve until the amount of the reserve reaches 50% of our Domestic Companies’ registered capital. These funds may be distributed to shareholders at the time of its wind up. When we were incorporated in the Cayman Islands in August 2007, 5,000,000 ordinary shares were authorized, and 50,000 ordinary shares were issued to Mr. Yin Shenping, Mr. Chen Guangqiang and Mr. Li Hongqi, at a par value of $0.01 each. On December 10, 2007, our company sold 2,632 ordinary shares to an investor for an aggregate consideration of $200,000. On June 8, 2009, in connection with our initial public offering, the Board of Directors approved a 42.7840667-to-1 split of ordinary shares and redeemable ordinary shares to shareholders of record as of such date. After giving effect to the share split of our ordinary shares and the completion of our initial public offering, we had 3,951,811 ordinary shares outstanding.

 

On December 16, 2010, in light of the change of the ownership of ENI, we ceased to have the power to direct the activities of ENI, which as of that date most significantly impact its economic performance. As a result, ENI ceased to be our VIE starting from the same date.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders’ equity, or that are not reflected in our financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Capital Resources. To date we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from financing operations. As of March 31, 2011 we had total assets of ¥126,580,793 ($19,266,188), which includes cash amounting to ¥7,272,160 ($1,106,857), and net accounts receivable amounting to ¥56,161,167 ($8,547,993). Working capital amounted to ¥80,982,460 ($12,325,910) and shareholders’ equity amounted to ¥95,144,032 ($14,481,366).

 

Cash from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was ¥4,980,615 ($785,073) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of ¥36,526,262 from ¥41,506,877 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. For the nine-month period, outflows of cash were mainly used in purchase of inventories for coming projects.

 

Cash from Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was ¥2,403,754 ($365,862) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The foremost factor for the decrease was the loss of cash associated with the deconsolidation of ENI. As compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010, capital expenditure was approximately ¥371,000.

 

Cash from Financing Activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities amounted to ¥2,620,087 ($398,789) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and cash flows provided by financing activities amounted to ¥61,471,426 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was due to the fact that we received IPO fund during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 whereas we borrowed funds of ¥5,000,000 ($761,023) from a domestic commercial bank to supplement working capital for the same period of 2011.

 

Working Capital. As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s working capital was ¥80,982,460. Total current assets as of March 31, 2011 amounted to ¥112,419,221 ($17,110,732), a decrease of ¥62,745,184 ($9,550,111) from ¥176,647,286 at June 30, 2010. The decrease was attributable mainly to the deconsolidation of ENI.

 

Current liabilities amounted to ¥31,436,761 ($4,784,822) at March 31, 2011, in comparison to ¥57,563,362 at June 30, 2010. This decrease was attributable to the deconsolidation of ENI.

 

The current ratio increased from 3.04 at June 30, 2010 to 3.58 at March 31, 2011 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2011, our company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. In light of the nature of the adjustments attributable to the restatement of the Original Filing, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were ineffective in timely alerting them to information required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

In light of the nature of the adjustments attributable to the restatement of the Original Filing, the Company has conducted a preliminary assessment of its accounting organization and the manner in which the accounting and financial reporting functions are being supported. Based on such assessment, the Company has developed a preliminary plan to strengthen its accounting and financial reporting functions as well as the related disclosure controls and procedures. Such plan will require the hiring of additional resources and the deployment of other corporate resources for the accounting department in relation to the financial reporting process. Such additional resources will include the establishment of a work force dedicated to the task of correcting past financial irregularities and maintaining correct financial reporting on an on-going basis. To strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company has engaged outside consultants that are skilled in SEC reporting and Section 404 compliance to assist in the implementation of the following remedial actions (which are targeted to be completed by June 2012):

 

	·	Development and formalization of key accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures;
	·	Identification and documentation of key controls by business process;
	·	Enhancement of existing disclosures policies and procedures;
	·	Formalization of periodic communication between management and the audit committee;
	·	Implementation of policies and procedures intended to enhance management monitoring and oversight by the Audit Committee; and
	·	Formalization of a periodic staff training program to enhance their awareness of the key internal control activities.

NOTE 1.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization – Recon Technology, Ltd (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on August 21, 2007 by Mr. Yin Shenping, Mr. Chen Guangqiang and Mr. Li Hongqi (the “Founders”) as a company with limited liability. The Company provides oilfield specialized equipment, automation systems, tools, chemicals and field services to petroleum companies in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Its wholly owned subsidiary, Recon Technology Co., Limited (“Recon-HK”) was incorporated on September 6, 2007 in Hong Kong. Other than the equity interest in Recon-HK, the Company does not own any assets or conduct any operations. On November 15, 2007, Recon-HK established one wholly owned subsidiary, Jining Recon Technology Ltd. (“Recon-JN”) under the laws of the PRC. Other than the equity interest in Recon-JN, Recon-HK does not own any assets or conduct any operations.

 

Through December 15, 2010, the Company conducted its business through the following PRC legal entities that were consolidated as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and operate in the Chinese oilfield equipment & service industry:

 

	·	Beijing BHD Petroleum Technology Co., Ltd. (“BHD”),
	·	Nanjing Recon Technology Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Recon”), and
	·	Jining ENI Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“ENI”)

 

On December 16, 2010, ENI was deconsolidated from the Company and ceased to be a VIE of the Company after the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that, in light of a December 16, 2010 change in the equity ownership of ENI, the Company ceased to have the power to direct the activities of ENI. From December 16, 2010 onward, therefore, the Company conducted its business through, and consolidated as variable interest entities (“VIEs”), the two entities of BHD and Nanjing Recon only.

 

Chinese laws and regulations currently do not prohibit or restrict foreign ownership in petroleum businesses. However, Chinese laws and regulations do prevent direct foreign investment in certain industries. On January 1, 2008, to protect the Company’s shareholders from possible future foreign ownership restrictions, the Founders, who also held the controlling interest of BHD, Nanjing Recon and ENI, reorganized the corporate and shareholding structure of these entities by entering into certain exclusive agreements with Recon-JN, which entitles Recon-JN to receive a majority of the residual returns. On May 29, 2009 Recon-JN and BHD, Nanjing Recon, and ENI entered into an operating agreement to provide full guarantee for the performance of such contracts, agreements or transactions entered into by BHD, Nanjing Recon, and ENI. As a result of the new agreement, Recon-JN absorbs 100% of the expected losses and receives 90% of the expected gains of BHD, Nanjing Recon, and ENI, which resulted in Recon-JN being the primary beneficiary of these companies.

 

Recon-JN also entered into Share Pledge Agreements with the Founders, who pledged all their equity interest in these entities to Recon-JN. The Share Pledge Agreements, which were entered into by each Founder, pledged each of the Founders’ equity interest in BHD, Nanjing Recon, and ENI as a guarantee for the service payment under the Service Agreement.

 

The Service Agreement, entered into on January 1, 2008, between Recon-JN and BHD, Nanjing Recon, and ENI, states that Recon-JN will provide technical consulting services to BHD, Nanjing Recon, and ENI in exchange for 90% of their annual net profits as a service fee, which is to be paid quarterly.

 

In addition, Recon-HK entered into Option Agreements to allow Recon-HK to acquire the Founders’ interest in these entities if or when permitted by the PRC laws.

 

Based on these exclusive agreements, the Company consolidated BHD, Nanjing Recon and ENI (through December 15, 2010 only) as VIEs as required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation because the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIEs.

 

 

RECON TECHNOLOGY, LTD

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On August 28, 2000, a Founder of the Company purchased a controlling interest in BHD which was organized under the laws of the PRC on June 29, 1999.Through December 15, 2010, the Founders held 67.5% ownership in BHD. From December 16, 2010 to March 31, 2011, Messers. Yin Shenping and Chen Guangqiang held 79.99% ownership interest of BHD. BHD is combined with the Company through the date of the exclusive agreements, and is consolidated following January 1, 2008, the date of the agreements based on ASC Topic 810. The Company allocates profits and losses 90% and 100%, respectively, based upon the control agreements. Profits allocated to the minority interest are the remaining amount (10%).

 

On July 4, 2003, Nanjing Recon was organized under the laws of the PRC. On August 27, 2007, the Founders of the Company purchased a majority ownership of Nanjing Recon from a related party who was a majority owner of Nanjing Recon. Through December 15, 2010, the Founders held 80% ownership interest in Nanjing Recon. From December 16, 2010 to March 31, 2011, Messers. Yin Shenping and Chen Guangqiang held 80% ownership interest of Nanjing Recon. Nanjing Recon is combined with the Company through the date of the exclusive agreements, and is consolidated following January 1, 2008, the date of the agreements based on ASC Topic 810. The Company allocates profits and losses 90% and 100%, respectively, based upon the control agreements. Profits allocated to the minority interest are the remaining amount (10%).

 

On January 21, 2003, ENI was organized under the laws of the PRC. Founders of the Company owned a controlling interest of ENI through December 15, 2010 by holding 80% ownership interest in ENI. However, from December 16, 2010 to March 31, 2011, the Founders did not own any interest in ENI. On December 16, 2010 in light of the change of the ownership in ENI, the Company ceased to have the power to direct the activities of ENI which most significantly impact its economic performance as of that date. As a result, ENI ceased to be a VIE of the Company on December 16, 2010. Based on ASC Topic 810, ENI was combined and consolidated with the Company from January 1, 2008, the date of the exclusive agreements, through December 15, 2010 when the Company ceased to have control over ENI. From January 1, 2008 through December 15, 2010, the Company allocated profits and losses 90% and 100%, respectively, based upon the control agreements. Profits allocated to the minority interest were the remaining amount (10%).

 

Nature of Operations – The Company engaged in (1) providing equipment, tools and other hardware related to oilfield production and management, including simple installations in connection with some projects, and (2) developing and selling its own specialized industrial automation control and information solutions. The products and services provided by the Company include:

 

High-Efficiency Heating Furnaces - High-Efficiency Heating Furnaces are designed to remove the impurities and to prevent solidification blockage in transport pipes carrying crude petroleum. Crude petroleum contains certain impurities including water and natural gas, which must be removed before the petroleum can be sold.

 

Multi-Purpose Fissure Shaper - Multipurpose fissure shapers improve the extractors’ ability to test for and extract petroleum which requires perforation into the earth before any petroleum extractor can test for the presence of oil.

 

Oil Field Water Finding/Blocking Technology - The Company developed this technology designed to find and block water content in petroleum.

 

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (“SCADA”) - SCADA is an industrial computerized process control system for monitoring, managing and controlling petroleum extraction. SCADA integrates underground and above-ground activities of the petroleum extraction industry. This system can help to manage the oil extraction process in real-time to reduce the costs associated with extraction.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company has restated its quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2011. The determination to restate the aforementioned unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements was made by the Audit Committee of the Company on December 6, 2011, which concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as of and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 (the “Original Filing”), should no longer be relied upon.

 

The Company had consolidated in its financial statements the accounts of an entity that should not have been consolidated during such periods. In particular, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that, in light of a December 16, 2010 change in the equity ownership of ENI, the Company ceased to have the power to direct the activities of ENI which most significantly impact its economic performance as of the date of transfer. As a result, ENI ceased to be a variable interest entity of the Company at that time, and its financial results should not have been consolidated with those of the Company beginning December 16, 2010.

 

The general nature and scope of the adjustments are summarized as follows:

 

(1)

Adjustment to deconsolidate ENI —- The Company has followed the guidance on deconsolidation of a variable interest entity in accordance with ASC 810, and accounted for the deconsolidation of ENI by recognizing the related loss on deconsolidation in its net income attributable to the Company, which is measured as the difference between:

			a.	the aggregate of (i) the fair value of any consideration received, (ii) the fair value of the retained non-controlling investment in ENI at the date in which ENI is deconsolidated, and (iii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest in ENI; and
			b.	the carrying amount of ENI’s net assets and liabilities as of December 15, 2010.

 

In addition, the restated unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all other necessary adjustments, such as the write-off of uncollectible purchase advances in the amount of RMB 13,662,380 and the reclassification of intercompany balances with ENI to other receivables or payables. See Note 5 for further discussion of the amount due from ENI of RMB 17,771,481. As a result of the deconsolidation of ENI, the Company incurred a deconsolidation loss of ¥8,989,614 ($1,359,632).

 

(2)

Adjustment to correct an overstatement of reported revenue —-Based on information that was made available to management subsequent to the Original Filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company realized that there was a double-counting of revenues from 3 specific contracts which amounted to RMB 5,191,897.  The double-counting was caused by an input error that was not detected during the normal course of the quarter book close.  To determine the nature and extent of this accounting error, the Company performed a thorough review of all revenues recognized during the quarter and concluded that the error identified was a mistake which resulted in the overstatement of the Company’s reported revenue, tax payable and accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011. To correct the overstatement, the Company recorded an adjustment in this Form 10Q to reduce revenue by RMB 5,191,897; reduce imposed value-added tax of RMB 882,663; and reduce the reported accounts receivable by RMB 6,074,520.

 

The following tables present the adjustments due to the restatements made herein of the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring entries, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not indicative of the operating results to be expected for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.

 

Reclassifications - Certain amounts from the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Principles of Consolidation - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, all the subsidiaries and VIEs of the Company. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Variable Interest Entities - A VIE is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.

 

Currency Translation - The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”) and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in Chinese Yuan. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, have been translated into United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”). The translation has been made at the rate of ¥6.5701 = US$1.00, the approximate exchange rate prevailing on March 31, 2011. These translated U.S. dollar amounts should not be construed as representing Chinese Yuan amounts or that the Chinese Yuan amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars.

 

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and useful lives of property and equipment. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for trade accounts receivable, other receivables, purchase advances, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances from customers, short-term bank loan and short-term borrowings approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid short-term debt investments with stated original maturities of no more than three months. Since a majority of the bank accounts are located in the PRC, those bank balances are uninsured.

 

Trade Accounts and Other Receivables - Accounts receivable are carried at original invoiced amount less a provision for any potential uncollectible amounts. Accounts are considered past due when the related receivables are more than a year old. Provision is made against trade accounts and other receivables to the extent they are considered to be doubtful. Other receivables arise from transactions with non-trade customers.

 

Purchase Advances - Purchase advances are the amounts prepaid to suppliers for purchases of inventory and are recognized when the final amount is paid to the suppliers and the inventory is delivered.

 

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, on a weighted average basis for BHD. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, on a first-in-first-out basis for Nanjing Recon and ENI. The methods of determining inventory costs are used consistently from year to year. Allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided when the market value of certain inventory items are lower than the cost.

 

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on motor vehicles and office equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets

 

Items		Useful life
Motor vehicles		5-10 years
Office equipment		2-5 years
Leasehold improvement		5 years

 

Long-Lived Assets - The Company applies ASC Topic 360-10 “Property, plant and equipment.” ASC Topic 360 requires that long-lived assets, such as property and equipment be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

 

Advances from Customers - The Company, as is common practice in the PRC, will often receive advance payments from its customers for its products or services. The advances are shown as current liabilities and are recognized as revenue when the products are delivered or service is provided.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when the following four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the client and the client has signed a completion and acceptance report, risk of loss has transferred to the client, client acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that the criteria specified in client acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.

Hardware:

Revenue from hardware sales is generally recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are no unfulfilled company obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance of the arrangement.

 

Software:

The Company sells self-developed software. For software sales, the Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 985 - 605 “Software Revenue Recognition”. Revenue from software is recognized according to project contracts. Contract costs are accumulated during the periods of installation and testing or commissioning. Usually this is short term. Revenue are not recognized until completion of the contracts and receipt of acceptance statements.

 

Services:

The Company provides services to improve software functions and system requirements on separated fixed-price contracts. Revenue is recognized on the completed contract method when acceptance is determined by a completion report signed by the customer.

 

Deferred income represents unearned amounts billed to customers related to sales contracts.

 

Cost of Revenues - Cost of revenues include wages, materials, handling charges, the cost of purchased equipment and pipes and other expenses associated with manufactured products and service provided to customers.

 

Subsidy Income - The Company received grants of ¥20,000 and ¥341,205 ($51,906) from the local government for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The Company received grants of ¥1,178,034 and ¥792,545 ($120,629) from the local government for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Grants given by the government were to support local software companies’ operation and research and development. Grants related to research and development projects are recognized as subsidy income in the consolidated statements of operations when received. Grants in form of value-added-tax refund for software products are recognized when received.

 

Advertising Expenses - Advertising expenses, which generally represent the cost of promotions to create or stimulate a positive image of the Company or a desire to buy the Company’s products and services, are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred no advertising expenses in each of the periods presented.

 

Share-Based Compensation- The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense with graded vesting on a straight–line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expenses using the Binomial Lattice valuation model estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value.

 

Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, and tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The Company has not been subject to any income taxes in the United States or the Cayman Islands.

 

Earnings per Share (“EPS”) - Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted EPS are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary share equivalents outstanding.

Ordinary Shares - When the Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 21, 2007, 25,000,000 ordinary shares were authorized, and 2,139,203 ordinary shares were issued to the Founders, at a par value of $0.0185 each. On July 29, 2009, the Company completed its IPO by offering 1,700,000 ordinary shares at $6.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, all the 112,608 redeemable ordinary shares outstanding were automatically converted into non-redeemable ordinary shares pursuant to an agreement. On July 31, 2009, ordinary shares of the Company commenced trading on NASDAQ Exchange.

 

Appropriated Retained Earnings - According to the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company is required to transfer a certain portion of its net profit, as determined under PRC accounting regulations, from current net income to the statutory reserve fund. In accordance with the PRC Company Law, companies are required to transfer 10% of their profit after tax, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations, to the statutory reserves until such reserves reach 50% of the registered capital or paid-in capital of the companies. As of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the balance of total statutory reserves was ¥3,755,503 and ¥2,347,972($357,372), respectively.

 

Stock-Based Awards Plan - In June 2009, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted ordinary shares to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the 2009 Plan may be Incentive Stock Options or Non-statutory Stock Options. Non-employee directors and Consultants are not eligible to receive the award of an Incentive Stock Option. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Director is entitled to establish the term, vesting conditions and exercise price of the options as well as the vesting conditions and transferability of restricted shares. Under the 2009 Plan, 790,362 unissued ordinary shares have been reserved for issuance. As discussed in Note 19, under the 2009 Plan, the Company granted options to purchase 293,000 of ordinary shares to its employees and non-employee directors on July 29, 2009 and 170,000 warrants to placement agent.

 

On December 31, 2010, the Company held the annual board meeting and accepted resignation of some directors. Based on the Company’s stock incentive plan, no options may be exercised more than 3 months after termination of employment. Since those directors left at the time of the annual meeting in December 2010, their options had expired as of March 31, 2011. Thus, 100,000 options were forfeited and reallocated back into the Company’s incentive pool.

 

NOTE 11.

INCOME TAX

 

The Company is not subject to any income taxes in the United States or the Cayman Islands and had minimal operations in jurisdictions other than the PRC. BHD and Nanjing Recon are subject to PRC’s income taxes as PRC domestic companies. Implementing Rules for the Enterprise Income Tax Law (“Implementing Rules”) which took effect on January 1, 2008, unified the income tax rate for domestic-invested and foreign-invested enterprises at 25%.

 

Thus for the calendar year 2009, Nanjing Recon is subject to an income tax rate of 25%. For calendar year 2010, the Company reapplied for hi-tech approval and has passed all relevant review. Thus, for the calendar year 2010, Nanjing Recon is subject to an income tax rate of 15%.

NOTE 18.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock-based payments - As discussed in Note 10, the Company granted options to purchase 293,000 ordinary shares under the 2009 Plan to its employees and non-employee directors on July 29, 2009. The options have an exercise price of $6.00, equal to the IPO price of the Company’s ordinary shares, and will vest over a period of five years, with the first 20% vested on July 29, 2010. The options expire ten years after the date of grant, on July 29, 2019. The fair value was estimated on July 29, 2009 using the Binomial Lattice valuation model, with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

Stock price at grant date		$	6.00
Exercise price (per share)		$	6.00
Risk free rate of interest***			4.6118	%
Dividend yield			0.0	%
Life of option (years)**			10
Volatility*			78	%
Forfeiture rate****			5	%

 

* Volatility is projected using the performance of PHLX Oil Service Sector index.

** The life of options represents the period the option is expected to be outstanding.

*** The risk-free interest rate is based on the Chinese international bond denominated in U.S dollar with a maturity that approximates the life of the option.

**** Forfeiture rate is the estimated percentage of options forfeited by employees by leaving or being terminated before vesting.

 

 

RECON TECHNOLOGY, LTD

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The grant date fair value of the options was ¥30.17 ($4.42) per share. Compensation expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 was ¥442,013 and ¥268,180 ($40,818), and ¥1,178,701 and ¥1,138,264 ($173,249) for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2011, 100,000 options were forfeited and reallocated to incentive pool (see Note 11); options to purchase 193,000 of ordinary shares were outstanding, 58,600 of them are vested under the 2009 Plan and no granted stock options were exercised.

 

Placement Agent Warrants - As discussed in Note 10, the Company completed its IPO on July 29, 2009, and the gross proceeds received by the Company for the offering were $10,200,000 (1,700,000 ordinary shares at $6.00 per share) before the cash offering costs of ¥9,651,771 ($1,412,896).

 

In connection with the offering, the Company sold the placement agent warrants to purchase 170,000 ordinary shares at $7.20 per share for a nominal amount. These warrants are exercisable for a period of five years. The Company has agreed to file, during the five year period at its cost, at the request of the holders of a majority of the placement agents warrants and the underlying ordinary shares, and to use its best efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement under the Securities Act, as required to permit the public sale of ordinary shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the placement agent’s warrants. The Company accounted for the warrants as an additional offering cost with an estimated value of $627,341 which was a deduction of the gross proceeds mentioned above. The following table presents the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of the placement agent warrants sold:

 

Stock price at grant date		$	6.00
Exercise price (per share)		$	7.20
Risk free rate of interest			3.7679	%
Dividend yield			0	%
Expected volatility			78	%
Expected life (in years)			5	%

 

The Company had 170,000 of granted placement agent warrants as of March 31, 2011 and no warrants were exercised during the nine months then ended.

 

NOTE 19.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share,” requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares or resulted in the issuance of ordinary shares that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares, ordinary shares equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive ordinary shares consist of ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of ordinary stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method).  However, the effect from options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive due to the fact that the weighted average exercise price per share of options and warrants is higher than the weighted average market price per share of the ordinary shares during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2011.
