With HYY Single Well Circulation Heat Exchange Geothermal Energy Collection Technology which is originally developed in the PRC, as its core technology, the Group has successfully applied the geothermal energy as an alternative energy for heating supply in HYY Multi-source Distributed Energy Station. Moreover, the Group has managed to design a wide spectrum of application models of this technology to various designated specifications. Alleviating the burden of the urban power network without increasing the building area of public utilities, the Group has fully made use of clean and renewable geothermal energy as an alternative energy for heating supply to buildings through the technology application. HYY Multi-source Distributed Energy Station will be incorporated into urban infrastructure construction with a view to replacing the traditional heating supply facilities in urban areas.
Despite the pessimistic outlook of the property development industry in the PRC, with evergrowing social awareness about the practical value of geothermal energy as an alternative energy for heating supply, the emerging alternative energy industry is gaining growth momentum for its development in the PRC. To regulate and guide the construction of the single well circulation heat exchange geothermal energy collection well, Beijing Association to Promote Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection is now drafting and preparing the Technical Code for Single Well Circulation Heat Exchange Geothermal Energy Collection Well, which will definitely facilitate the development of the Group.
On 11 April 2012, the Company entered into a letter of intent with China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection (Hong Kong) Investment Company Limited in relation to the allotment and issue of 850,000,000 subscription shares at a price of HK$0.41 per subscription share. Allotment of part of the subscription shares shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company. On 22 June 2012, an ordinary resolution approving the specific mandate and the transaction contemplated thereunder was passed in the extraordinary general meeting.

Notes:
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of Chapter 18 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the GEM Listing Rules) and with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those adopted in preparing the annual audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
The Group has adopted new and amended standards and interpretations of HKFRSs which are mandatory for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2012 and relevant to its operations. The adoption of such new and amended standards and interpretations does not have material impact on the condensed consolidated first quarterly financial information and does not result in substantial changes to the Group’s accounting policies.
The Group has not applied the new HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
The condensed consolidated accounts have not been audited by the Company’s auditor, but have been reviewed by the Company’s audit committee.
2. REVENUE
