About Greka Engineering & Technology

Greka Engineering & Technology Ltd., (AIM; GEL) was demerged from Green Dragon Gas Ltd. (AIM; GDG) via a dividend in specie and was admitted to trading on AIM in September 2013.

Greka Engineering offers turnkey solutions to over 100 upstream, midstream and downstream gas suppliers. The Company's technologies include Compressed Natural Gas/Liquefied Natural Gas (CNG/LNG) compressor equipment, CNG retail dispenser equipment and CBM wellhead extraction technologies. The Company also supplies proprietary Integrated Circuit Card Point of Sale (ICC POS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software and hardware solutions for the remote management of transmission systems, power facilities, vehicle management and retail services.

In addition, the Company invests in, operates and maintains wholly owned assets for its customers in return for service contracts based on the volume management.

The Company has historically completed several Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Management (EPCM) contracts including the design, construction and management of gas gathering systems, a gas pipeline in Shanxi Province to the China West-East pipeline, the installation and commissioning of a 10MW gas-fired power facility in the Shanxi province and the construction of CNG retail stations.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

During the first half of 2014 the Company made significant progress in all areas of business including the introduction of a new client for our power plant, improving operational efficiencies and growth in customer base. As a result, I am pleased to report the 61% increase in revenues to US$2.7m for this period, as compared to the previous year. The Company is on track with its objectives to increase utilization of the current infra-structure assets while expanding the customer base for our equipment sales.

Operationally, the Company benefited from cost savings in electricity production by increasing generator efficiency through preventative maintenance and tighter operational overview. At the same time, substantial progress on customer development has been made and we expect steady growth in our gas dispenser sales. In line with the corporate strategy to diversify the customer base, the Company signed an additional power supply contract with a 3rd party customer to supply electricity to their factory. The Company will continue its focus on further building our power supply customer base.

The Company successfully renegotiated its gas gathering system usage, power sales and compression fees with its key client Green Dragon Gas. Effective the beginning of the year, the gas processing price was increased to US$1.625/Mcf (RMB 0.35 per cubic meter) for the first 3,530 Mcf/day (100,000 cubic meters) and reduces on a sliding scale to US$0.14/Mcf (RMB 0.03 per cubic meter) for volumes above 17,700 Mcf/day (500,000 cubic meters). Similarly, the electricity price was renegotiated up to US$0.197 per kilowatt-hour (RMB 1.2 per kilowatt-hour) for the first 30,000 kilowatt-hour per day, reducing on a sliding scale to US$0.008 per kilowatt-hour (RMB 0.05 per kilowatt-hour) for volumes above 150,000 kilowatt-hours. The previous price was fixed at US$0.105 per kilowatt-hour (RMB 0.64 per kilowatt-hour). This agreement provides a balanced pricing structure that covers our recurring costs while providing a volume discount to our client when utilization rates are higher.

In our equipment and manufacturing division the Company achieved sales of 54 dispensers, 1 cylinder, 9 un-loading cylinders and two IC card management systems. A steady business segment with a diversified clientele which includes small entrepreneurial companies to the large state owned enterprises such as PetroChina.

We successfully developed twenty-six new equipment sales customers and secured a landmark power sales contract to a third party, Jiaqin Agriculture Co.,Ltd for a period of three years. Our environmentally progressive, reliable and stable power plant facilitated a premium above market rates. We expect to continue to expand our power sale clients so as to avail higher utilization in our 10MW power plant.

The diversity of our customers over our wide suite of products and services strategically widens the foundation we are building within the niche gas industry in China. We expect to build sales on this lucrative foundation in the years to come.

I look forward to providing similar updates on the continued steady progress that our motivated management and employees are accomplishing within an exponentially growing gas market within China.

In order to focus on the delivery of this strategy, prior to the demerger from Green Dragon Gas Ltd, during 2012 one of the Company's subsidiaries agreed a proposal to sell its non-core transportation operations to subsidiaries being retained within the Green Dragon Gas Ltd group following the demerger. Subsequently, it entered a legal agreement with Green Dragon Gas Limited on 1 July 2013 to dispose of motor vehicles and equipment for $1,753,357 of cash consideration in line with the previously agreed proposals. Notwithstanding the period that has elapsed between meeting the requirements for classification as assets held for sale, the Group remains committed to the disposal and expects it to complete in due course. The completion of the transaction is subject to obtaining necessary legislative approvals.

The following are the totals for the major classes of assets relating to the Group's transportation operation at the end of the reporting period:
