BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
The Company, through its subsidiary Ever Source Science and Technology Development Group Co., Ltd. (“HYY”), focuses on the research and promotion of the development and utilization of shallow ground source energy as alternative energy for providing heating for buildings. HYY possessing the research and development, ground source energy collection, system design, equipment manufacturing, engineering installation, operation and maintenance assurance, public service, can provide a total solution to its customers for combustion-free heating supply of Integrated Heating and Cooling with ground source energy. The main products include HYY Heating Device as the self-heating system, Ground Energy Heat Pump Environmental System for central heating, HYY50-900MW Distributed Heating and Cooling Station for heating of cities and townships. Up to now, we have promoted the application and usage in Beijing and expanded to all regions except Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in our country and to be able to achieve the provision of intelligent heating with shallow ground source energy without combustion for over 13 million square meters of building area, annual savings of 411,200 tons of standard coal.
During the Review Period, the Group has actively constructed demonstration projects for HYY Heating Device and HYY Ground Energy Heat Pump Environmental System in different regions, including Ningxia, Handan, Tianjin, etc. With an aim to show practical application examples and their effectiveness which will help promoting the Company’s different type of ground source energy collection systems and developing its market in different areas. Some of the projects are in cooperation with local government purporting to effectively promote ground source energy from the government level and push forward the relevant policy formulation, thereby it’s expected the future potential for business development will be broader.

In addition, our country has also made it clear that one of the main task for construction of cities and townships is intelligent heating: to promote shallow ground source energy collected by single-well circulation heat exchange technology to produce heating for buildings in a combustion-free way and forcefully push forward the growth of emerging industry of integrated heating and cooling. This will not only substantially boom up the ratio taken by renewable energy in the local energy consumption mix, but also radically solve the air pollution problem caused by combustion, and therefore remarkably uplift the living standard of urban and rural residence. (Quote from NDRC Doc No. [2015] 2665). Hence, the Group actively submit report to relevant departments proposing heating provision in the rural area of Beijing by using shallow ground source energy, forcefully promoting heating without combustion in order to solve the haze problem.
During the Review Period, Beijing Enterprises Ever Source Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Ever Source”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Beijing Sibolian General Mechanical New Technology Company (“Sibolian”) entered into an equity transfer agreement. Beijing Ever Source acquired approximately 5.387% equity interest of HYY from Sibolian. Upon completion of the share transfer, HYY became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As HYY is the main businesses operation unit of the Company, it is considered that HYY being wholly-owned by the Company will be more beneficial for its further development.
On 20-21 April 2016, the 10th China New Energy International Forum by the National Federation of New Energy Chamber of Commerce, was held at the Beijing National Convention Center. Over 400 participants including leaders from the national energy authorities, foreign government officials, representatives of international organizations, local and foreign scholars and representatives of wellknown enterprises attended the summit. During the period, the organizer has organized exhibition-cumpress conference for Ground Source Energy Heating Technology Achievement of Intelligent Heating with Combustion-free for Buildings. At the conference, industry experts introduced the existing status and future prospects of the usage of shallow geothermal energy in our country. Representatives of HYY also participated the conference and introduced to the participants about the application example of single well heat exchange collection system and answered questions from reporters.
On the other hand, with an aim to promote the development of the geothermal industry, the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of National Energy Administration has lined up with ten entities in early March to carry out the research and division of tasks for the development and utilization of geothermal energy under “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”. One of the research topics is industrial development of exploitation and utilization of shallow ground source energy which shows that the state has attached more importance to shallow ground source energy development and utilization.
We expect the opportunities for industry of development and utilization of shallow ground source energy is vast, the Company will try its utmost to be innovative on scientific research, comprehensive and diversified for products, enhancing on marketing and expansion, promoting close communication and cooperation with the government which will lay a good foundation for the Group’s future development. The Group will seize this unprecedented opportunity to bring a leap forward development for the Company.
