During the Review Period, the Group’s revenue amounted to approximately HK$215 million which was contributed by shallow ground energy utilisation business as compared with that of approximately HK$277 million for the corresponding period last year. Although the revenue reduced by approximately HK$62 million as compared with that of last corresponding period, the Group’s gross profit margin increased from 42% for the corresponding period last year to 48% for the nine months ended 31 December 2011.

On 27 August 2010, the Board announced the disposal of the entire interest in sewage and gas treatment business and, therefore, this segment has been classified as discontinued operation in the corresponding period last year.

Other income decreased from approximately HK$15 million in the corresponding period last year to approximately HK$9 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2011 due to the absence of a one-off gain on the disposal of the wholly owned subsidiary, Hunan IIN International Co., Limited which was recorded in the corresponding period last year.

Selling and distribution costs increased by approximately HK$2 million, or 15% as compared with that of nine months ended 31 December 2010. The increase is primarily due to the increase of after sales service cost of company projects.

Administrative expenses amounted to approximately HK$46 million and HK$48 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2011 and 2010 respectively. The expenses were maintained at similar level as compared with the corresponding period last year.

No finance costs was recorded for the nine months ended 31 December 2011 as compared with approximately HK$7.5 million for last corresponding period due to conversion of convertible notes to ordinary share capital on 14 September 2010.

Profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased from approximately HK$53 million in the corresponding period last year to approximately HK$41 million for the Review Period and such decrease was mainly attributable to the absence of a one-off gain on the disposal of IIN Network Technology Limited and its subsidiaries that recorded in the corresponding period last year and the decrease in revenue.

Acquisition of a subsidiary

During the nine months ended 31 December 2011, there was injection of capital amounted to approximately HK$6 million by Ever Source Science and Technology Development Company Limited (恆有源科技發 展有限公司), a subsidiary of the Group, to 綿陽市金恒源地能科技有限公司 (“金恒源”). The Group’s equity interest in 金恒源 had been increased from nil to 51%. 金恒源 is principally engaged in the production and sales of geothermal energy systems and was acquired with the objective of expanding the Group’s business.

The paid-up capital on each of its issued ordinary share of US$0.04 was cancelled to the extent of US$0.03 per share, and the nominal value of each of the issued ordinary shares of the Company was reduced from US$0.04 per share to US$0.01 per share.

A total credit of approximately HK$483 million arose as a result of the Capital Reduction of which an amount of approximately HK$329 million was applied towards writing off the accumulated losses of the Company as at 31 March 2011.

bUSINESS REVIEw AND OUTLOOk

Leveraging on advanced science and technology and backed by five diversified business models, Ever Source Science and Technology Development Company Limited (“HYY”), the operating unit of the Group, is committed to the scientific research and promotion of application of ground source energy as alternative energy for heating (cooling).

With technological innovation as its top priority, HYY has made continuous efforts to improve its research and development capability and enhance the commercialization and industrialization of its patent technologies. HYY’s technological products have been developed into HYY Ground Source Energy Heat Pump System featuring various models and specifications that can be applied under varied hydrogeological conditions and for different construction functions. This technology has been adopted by a wide array of projects under various types of construction in a number of provinces and municipalities of the PRC. Due to its proactive initiative in expansion of marketing channels, the HYY’s replicated promotion model has begun to bear fruit.

Beijing Shallow Geothermal Energy Project Technology Institute (北京淺層地能工程技術研究中心), the core research and development division of HYY, has realized the remarkable achievement in the research and application of the single well circulation ground source energy heat collection technology. Recently, for the research and development of the “machine-roomless ground source energy heat pump system”, the Institute has broken through the technical bottlenecks of noise nuisance to the public and overcome some system control issues. The technology of this system has attracted great attention from the government and is expected to be applied in the construction of affordable housing.

Dalian Wanghaixingcheng project, a self-built demonstration leasing project with application of ground source energy invested by the Group is under construction as scheduled. The phase I of the project is estimated to be completed within 2012.

Spurred on by favorable government policies and development of the global energy industry, the Group will seize every business opportunity and place equal emphasis on organic growth and external expansion by upholding down-to-earth yet innovative development philosophy to establish itself as the most competitive enterprise with application of ground source energy as alternative energy for heating.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s auditor, but have been reviewed by the Company’s audit committee.
