INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Key facts of the third quarter

In the three month period ended September 2016, ZhongDe continued to focus on the progress of its main BOT project Lanzhou, which led to strongly improved revenues. Total revenues for the three month period ended 30 September 2016 grew by more than 100 per cent to € 14.8 million (Q3 2015: € 2.2 million) due to the project progress in Lanzhou. Nearly 100% of sales in Q3 2016 were contributed by the BOT project in Lanzhou (Q3 2015: € 1.8 million). At the end of the third quarter 2016 the project has been completed by 74.0% (Q2 2016: 62.8%).

On October 14, 2016 ZhongDe Waste Technology AG (the "Company") and CAPITAL YIELD GROUP LIMITED have entered into an agreement on the sale of all shares in its wholly owned subsidiary Chung Hua Environment Protection (Holding) Group Ltd., Hong Kong ("Chung Hua"). Chung Hua and its subsidiaries carry out the BOT (Build, Operate and Transfer) projects regarding waste-to-energy projects in China. As at 30 September 2016 the negotiations with the buyer were in such an advanced state Chung Hua and its subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of financial position since then.

In the following we report on the figures of the Zhongde Group as a whole.

Group revenue

During the third quarter of 2016, revenues of € 14.8 million were generated, representing an increase of more than 100% compared to the same period in 2015. These revenues were almost exclusively contributed by the BOT project in Lanzhou. The growth relates to the fast progress of works which within the scope of the zero-profit-method led to revenues amounting to € 14.7 million (during the third quarter of 2015 € 2.2 million were contributed by BOT projects thereof € 1.8 million by the BOT project in Lanzhou). In the nine months period ended 30 September 2016, revenues reached € 52.3 million, representing an increase of more than 100% compared to the same period in 2015.

Group result

The gross result for Q3 2016 amounted to € -0.2 million compared to € -0.3 million for Q3 2015. In the nine months period ended 30 September 2016 gross result amounted to € -0.7 million compared to € -1.4 million in the same period in 2015. The negative gross result is mainly due to the fact that inventories had to be written off during 2016 as well as in 2015. As the zero-profit-method is still applied to BOT projects the increased stage of completion of the BOT project in Lanzhou has no influence on the gross result margin. The negative outcome of the gross result is also caused by the slow progress of the EPC projects which did not materially contribute to the profit margin.

Due to the planned sale of Chung Hua and its subsidiaries ultimately as of September 30 all assets and liabilities related to the discontinued operation had to be measured in accordance with applicable IFRSs. held as discontinued operations these assets have to be measured at fair value. Considering the purchase price underlying the contractual negotiations and (ultimately also contractually agreed) as a result the impairment of service concession rights accounted for in prior years relating to the BOT project in Zhoukou (€ 11.0 million) and Xianning (€ 6.0 million) had to be partly reversed by an total amount of € 7.1 million in Q3 2016 (of which € 4.1 million relate to Zhoukou and € 3.0 million to Xianning). Aside other operating income mainly relates to net proceeds from trial runs. Compared to the same period in 2015 the quantities of waste disposal treated and of electricity supplied in KWh went up which led to increased income. During the third quarter 2016 net proceeds from trial runs of € 1.7 million were generated compared to € 1.0 million in the same period 2015.

In the nine months period ended 30 September 2016 selling and distribution expenses increased by € 3.8 million to € 4.3 million compared to the same period 2015 due to an increase of bad debt allowances by € 4.0 million. In 2014 ZhongDe made advance payments to a subcontractor amounting to RMB 58.6 million (€ 8.3 million) for construction works at the BOT project in Lanzhou, which finally had to written off completely as the subcontractor did not repay the advances on a timely basis after the contract has been cancelled.

Accordingly EBITDA in the first nine months 2016 decreased to € -5.0 million compared to € -2.8 million for the same period in 2015. In Q3 2016 EBITDA increased to € 0.3 million compared to € -0.8 million for the same period in 2015.

The EBITDA presents earnings before interests, depreciation and amortization without effects from impairments or appreciations. Extraordinary effects regarding the impairments or appreciations of service concession rights are not presented in EBITDA. The reconciliation from EBITDA to EBIT is presented below:

in k€ Q3 2016 ¹⁾ Q3 2015 ¹⁾ Change 9M 2016 ¹⁾ 9M 2015 ¹⁾ Change
EBITDA 305 -817 >+100.0% -4,952 -2,800 -76.9%

EBIT 7,801 -1,348 >+100.0% 2,016 -4,082 >+100.0%

¹⁾ Before considering the disclosure of discontinued operation under IFRS 5.

In Q3 2016 EBIT went up to € 7.8 million compared to € -1.3 million in Q3 2015. In the first nine months 2016 EBIT went up to € 2.0 million compared to € -4.1 million in the first nine months 2015.

Finance income and finance costs (net) for the nine month period which ended 30 September 2016 amounted to € -1.5 million compared to € -1.0 million in the same period 2015 mainly due to increased interest expenses relating to the new bank loans granted to ZhongDe in the second half of 2015. This effect was partly offset by the decrease of income tax expenses from € 1.6 million in nine months period which ended 30 September 2015 to € 1.2 million in the same period 2016. Income tax expenses for the nine month period which ended 30 September 2016 amounting to € 0.8 million refer to deferred tax liabilities relating to the reversal of the impairments in Zhoukou and Xianning. The reasons for the tax expenses in the first nine months 2015 were mainly profits caused by foreign exchange gains which are locally taxable.

Net result increased to € 5.6 million compared to € -2.4 million for the three month period ended September 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. In the nine months period which ended 30 September 2016 net loss went up to € -0.7 million compared to € -6.7 million in the same period 2015.

The cash position as at 30 September 2016 amounted to € 0.2 million for the continuing operation and € 84,1 million for the discontinued operation compared to € 75.8 million as at 31 December 2015 (from continuing operations). By obtaining the payments from the buyer of Chung Hua the actual cash position from continuing operations will increase accordingly. ZhongDe has already received the first down payment amounting to € 12 million (RMB 90,000,000) in November 2016. The next down payment amounting to € 36 million (RMB 270,000,000) is due in January 2017.

Current status of energy-from-waste projects

(as of 30 September 2016)

The EPC projects in Dingzhou and Wuhai belong to the continuing operation. The EPC project in Zhucheng will be sold within the sale of Chung Hua.

¹⁾ To be determined after restart.

At the end of Q3 2016, the percentage of completion of the EPC project in Dingzhou remains at 48.8% (31 December 2015: 48.8%). Since April 2015 the construction at Dingzhou is on hold. The project in Dingzhou is stopped by the customer, since infrastructural works performed by governmental authorities are required first. Due to further delays the customer revised his former expectation regarding the resumption of works from the third quarter 2016 to January 2017.

In June 2013 ZhongDe Group signed a contract with an electricity company on the construction of a new energy-from-waste plant located in Wuhai City in Inner Mongolia with a total contract gross amount of about € 45.8 million. The planned large-scale EPC project in Wuhai should have a daily waste disposal capacity of 1,000 tons per day. Although some preparatory works have been finished already, the construction work in Wuhai has not started until 31 December 2015 and it was unclear when the work on the project will be resumed. Based on these facts and circumstances the management of ZhongDe decided to remove the project from the order backlog by the end of 2015.

At the end of Q3 2016, the percentage of completion of the EPC project in Zhucheng remains at 89.3% (31 December 2015: 89.3%). As part of the acceptance process, the progress of the construction performed by subcontractors needs to be confirmed for the quantity and quality by the cost control department of ZhongDe. Only after the confirmation from both sides the works are accepted and revenues realized accordingly. This process is time consuming and delayed. Accordingly the percentage of completion of the project did not progress in 2016.

Developments after the end of the reporting period

With agreement of October 14, 2016 ZhongDe Waste Technology AG (the "Company") has sold all shares in its wholly owned subsidiary Chung Hua Environment Protection (Holding) Group Ltd., Hong Kong ("Chung Hua") to CAPITAL YIELD GROUP LIMITED for approximately € 122 million (RMB 900,000,000). The purchase price is due in five tranches. Chung Hua and its subsidiaries build the BOT projects in Lanzhou, Zhoukhou, Xianning and Kunming and the EPC project in Zhucheng, which accordingly will be sold to the buyer as well as the BOT project in Feicheng which is already in operation.

The legal transfer of the shares of Chung Hua will be effective after 90% of the down payment have been received.

Besides that no adjusting or significant non-adjusting events have occurred between the reporting date and the date of authorization of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Opportunities and Risks

For the information on opportunities and risks, please refer to our Risk Report in the Group Management Report as at 31 December 2015. Please note that these expectations are subject to uncertainty even if currently we do not have any information as to any other developments. After the transfer of shares of Chung Hua the opportunities and risks relating to BOT projects will be transferred to the buyer. Besides that there were no significant changes in opportunities and risks compared to 31 December 2015.

Outlook

In the nine month period ended 30 September 2016, ZhongDe realized no revenues from EPC-projects mainly due to the temporarily suspension of the EPC projects in Dingzhou and Wuhai.

For coming Q4 2016, we expect that the construction progress of the EPC project in Wuhai will be resumed. The restart of the EPC project in Dingzhou is expected for the beginning of 2017.

Looking ahead to the forth coming quarter ZhongDe expects further progress in the BOT-project in Lanzhou. The projects in Zhoukou, Xianning and Kunming will contribute income from trial runs until they have successfully undergone acceptance by their respective customers.

Management expects a profit from the sale of Chung Hua. The legal transfer of shares is expected to be effective in the the first quarter of 2017.

Based on the results from the first nine months, management is convinced that for the group in total it will be able to meet the targets for the financial year 2016 outlined in the Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2015, except the achievement of a positive EBITDA which turned into negative mainly due to an increase of bad debt allowances by € 4.0 million.
