Overview
 
We are a company with limited liability incorporated in 2007 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Headquartered in Beijing, we provide products and services to oil and gas companies and their affiliates through Nanjing Recon Technology Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Recon”) and Beijing BHD Petroleum Technology Co., Ltd. (“BHD” and collectively with Nanjing Recon, the “Domestic Companies” or “VIEs”). As the company contractually controlling the Domestic Companies, we are the center of strategic management, financial control and human resources allocation.
 
Our business is mainly focused on the upstream sectors of the oil and gas industry. We derive our revenues from the sales and provision of (1) hardware products, (2) software products, and (3) services. Our products and services involve most of the key procedures of the extraction and production of oil and gas, and include automation systems, equipment, tools and on-site technical services.
 
Our VIEs provide the oil and gas industry with equipment, production technologies, automation and services.
 
·      Nanjing Recon: Nanjing Recon is a high-tech company that specializes in automation services for oilfield companies. It mainly focuses on providing automation solutions to the oil exploration industry, including monitoring wells, automatic metering to the joint station production, process monitor, and a variety of oilfield equipment and control systems.
 
·      BHD: BHD is a high-tech company that specializes in transportation equipment and stimulation productions and services. Possessing proprietary patents and substantial industry experience, BHD has built up stable and strong working relationships with the major oilfields in China.
 
Products and Services
 
We provide the following three types of integrated products and services for our customers.
 
Equipment for Oil and Gas Production and Transportation
 
High-Efficiency Heating Furnaces. Crude petroleum contains certain impurities that must be removed before it can be sold, including water and natural gas. To remove the impurities and to prevent solidification and blockage in transport pipes, companies employ heating furnaces. BHD researched, developed and implemented a new oilfield furnace that is advanced, highly automated, reliable, easily operable, safe and highly heat-efficient (90% efficiency).
 
 
3

     
Burner. We serve as an agent for the Unigas Burner, which is designed and manufactured by UNIGAS, a European burning equipment production company. The burner we provide features a high degree of automation, energy conservation, high turn-down ratio, high security and environmental safety.
 
Oil and Gas Production Improvement Techniques
 
Packers of Fracturing. This utility model is used in concert with the security joint, hydraulic anchor, and slide brushing of sand spray in the well. It is used for easy seat sealing and sand uptake prevention. The utility model reduces desilting volume and prevents sand-up, which makes the deblocking processes easier to realize. The back flushing is sand-stick proof.
 
Production Packer. At varying withdrawal points, the production packer separates different oil layers and protects the oil pipe from sand and permeation, promoting the recovery ratio.
 
Sand Prevention in Oil and Water Well. This technique processes additives that are resistant to elevated temperatures into “resin sand” which is transported to the bottom of the well via carrying fluid. The “resin sand” goes through the borehole, pilling up and compacting at the borehole and oil vacancy layer. An artificial borehole wall is then formed, functioning as a means of sand prevention. This sand prevention technique has been adapted to more than 100 wells, including heavy oil wells, light oil wells, water wells and gas wells, with a 100% success rate and a 98% effective rate.
 
Water Locating and Plugging Technique. High water cut affects the normal production of oilfields. Previously, there was no sophisticated method for water locating and tubular column plugging in China. The mechanical water locating and tubular column plugging technique we have developed resolves the problem of high water cut wells. This technique conducts a self-sealing test during multi-stage usage and is reliable to separate different production sets effectively. The water location switch forms a complete set by which the water locating and plugging can be finished in one trip. The tubular column is adaptable to several oil drilling methods and is available for water locating and plugging in second and third class layers.
 
Fissure Shaper. This is our proprietary product that is used along with a perforating gun to effectively increase perforation depth by between 46% and 80%, shape stratum fissures, improve stratum diversion capability and, as a result, improve our ability to locate oilfields and increase the output of oil wells.
 
Fracture Acidizing. We inject acid to layers under pressure, which can form or expand fissures. The treatment process of the acid is defined as fracture acidizing. The technique is mainly adapted to oil and gas wells that are blocked up relatively deeply, or the ones in low permeability zones.
 
Electronic Break-Down Service. This service resolves block-up and freezing problems by generating heat from the electric resistivity of the drive pipe and utilizing a loop tank composed of an oil pipe and a drive pipe. This technique saves energy and is environmentally friendly. It can increase the production of oilfields that are in the middle and later periods.
 
Automation System and Services
 
Pumping Unit Controller. This controller functions as a monitor to the pumping unit and also collects data for load, pressure, voltage, and startup and shutdown control.
 
RTU Monitor. This monitor collects gas well pressure data.
 
Wireless Dynamometer and Wireless Pressure Gauge. These products replace wired technology with cordless displacement sensor technology. They are easy to install and significantly reduce the work load associated with cable laying.
 
Electric Multi-way Valve for Oilfield Metering Station Flow Control. This multi-way valve is used before the test separator to replace the existing three valve manifolds. It facilitates the electronic control of the connection of the oil lead pipeline with the separator.
 
 
4

 
Natural Gas Flow Computer System. The flow computer system is used in natural gas stations and gas distribution stations to measure flow.
 
Recon Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (“SCADA”). Recon SCADA is a system that applies to the oil well, measurement station, and the union station for supervision and data collection.
 
EPC Service of Pipeline SCADA System. This service technique is used for pipeline monitoring and data acquisition after crude oil transmission.
 
EPC Service of Oil and Gas Wells SCADA System. This service technique is used for monitoring and data acquisition of oil wells and natural gas wells.
 
EPC Service of Oilfield Video Surveillance and Control System. This video surveillance technique is used for controlling the oil and gas wellhead area and the measurement station area.
 
Technique Service for “Digital oilfield” Transformation. This service includes engineering technique services such as oil and gas SCADA system, video surveillance and control system and communication systems.
 
Factors Affecting Our Business
 
Business Outlook
 
The oilfield engineering and technical service industry is generally divided into five sections: (1) exploration, (2) drilling and completion, (3) testing and logging, (4) production, and (5) oilfield construction. Thus far our businesses have only been involved in production. Our management plans to expand our core business, move into new markets, and develop new businesses. Management anticipates great opportunities both in new markets and our existing markets. We believe that many existing wells and oilfields need to improve or renew their equipment and service to maintain production and techniques and services like ours will be needed as new oil and gas fields are developed. In the next three years, we will focus on:
 
Measuring Equipment and Service. “Digital oil field” and the management of oil companies are highly regarded. We believe our oilfield SCADA and related technical support services will address the needs of the oil well automation system market, for which we forecast strong needs in the short term. For the coming year, we will also expand our automation business market in China’s biggest oilfield, the Da Qing oilfield. In addition, through early cooperation with CNPC in Turkmenistan, we have developed our experience in this market. Although bidding has not yet commenced, we will continue pursuing overseas business projects in the coming second phase construction, which we expect to occur in 2014.
 
Gathering and Transferring Equipment. With more new wells developed, our management anticipates that demand for our furnaces and burners will grow more compared to last year, especially in the Xinjiang Oilfield and Zhongyuan oilfield.
 
Fracturing service. We believe we cooperated well with Zhongyuan Oilfield in fiscal year 2013 and expect to continue growing revenue from fracturing and related stimulation services for fiscal year 2014.
 
New product line. Design and development of down-hole tools has always been an important technique for oilfield companies. Recently, this market has developed very rapidly. After a year test project for our customers, we have developed experience with this technology and our customers have accepted our products and services. We expect revenue from this business in fiscal year 2014.
 
Growth Strategy
 
As a smaller domestic company, it is our basic strategy to focus on developing our onshore oilfield business, that is, the upstream of the industry. Due to the remote location and difficult environments of China’s oil and gas fields, foreign competitors rarely enter those areas.
 
 
5

  
Large domestic oil companies have historically focused on their exploration and development businesses to earn higher margins and keep their competitive advantage. With regard to private oilfield service companies, we estimate that approximately 90% specialize in the manufacture of drilling and production equipment. Thus, the market for technical support and project service is still in its early stage. Our management believes that insists on providing high quality products and service in the oilfield where we have a geographical advantage. This will allow us to avoid conflicts of interest with bigger suppliers of drilling equipment and protect our position within the market segment. Our mission is to increase the automation and safety levels of industrial petroleum production in China and improve the underdeveloped working process and management mode by using advanced technologies. At the same time, we are always looking to improve our business and to increase our earning capability.
 
Industry and Recent Developments
 
Despite uncertainty in the energy industry related to such matters as fluctuating prices and future opportunities for oil companies, our management believes there are still many factors to support our long-term development:
 
The opening of the Chinese oil industry to participation by non-state owned service providers and vendors played an increasingly important role in the high-end oilfield service segment to allow competition based on efficiency and price. As oil and gas fields are depleted, it becomes more challenging to find and convert reserves into usable energy sources. As the industry has permitted competition by private companies and oil companies have formed separate service companies, high-tech service has gradually opened up to private companies.
 
Overseas assets of Chinese oilfield companies increased gradually, and they will provide more opportunity for domestic service companies to participate in foreign projects.
 
Management is focused on these factors and will seek to extend our business on the industrial chain, like providing more integrated services and incremental measures and growing our business from a predominantly up-ground business to include some down-hole services as well.
 
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
 
Our operating results in any period are subject to general conditions typically affecting the Chinese oilfield service industry including:
 
·
the amount of spending by our customers, primarily those in the oil and gas industry;
·
growing demand from large corporations for improved management and software designed to achieve such corporate performance;
·
the procurement processes of our customers, especially those in the oil and gas industry;
·
competition and related pricing pressure from other oilfield service solution providers, especially those targeting the Chinese oil and gas industry;
·
the ongoing development of the oilfield service market in China; and
·
inflation and other macroeconomic factors.
 
Unfavorable changes in any of these general conditions could negatively affect the number and size of the projects we undertake, the number of products we sell, the amount of services we provide, the price of our products and services, and otherwise affect our results of operations.
 
Our operating results in any period are more directly affected by company-specific factors including:
 
·
our revenue growth, in terms of the proportion of our business dedicated to large companies and our ability to successfully develop, introduce and market new solutions and services;
·
our ability to increase our revenues from both old and new customers in the oil and gas industry in China;
 
·
our ability to effectively manage our operating costs and expenses; and
·
our ability to effectively implement any targeted acquisitions and/or strategic alliances so as to provide efficient access to markets and industries in the oil and gas industry in China.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Estimates and Assumptions
 
We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), which require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates. The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this quarterly report. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and useful lives of property and equipment.
 
Consolidation of VIEs
 
We recognize an entity as a VIE if it either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. We consolidate a VIE as its primary beneficiary when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We perform ongoing assessments to determine whether an entity should be considered a VIE and whether an entity previous identified as a VIE continues to be a VIE and whether we continue to be the primary beneficiary.
 
Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against our general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on our general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue when the following four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the customers and the customers have signed a completion and acceptance report, risk of loss has transferred to the customers, customers acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that the criteria specified in customers’ acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.
 
Hardware
 
Revenue from hardware sales is generally recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are no unfulfilled company obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance of the arrangement.
 
 
7

 
Services
 
The Company provides services to improve software functions and system requirements on separated fixed-price contracts. Revenue is recognized when services are completed and acceptance is determined by a completion report signed by the customer.
 
Deferred income represents unearned amounts billed to customers related to sales contracts.
 
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for trade accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances from customers and notes payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Long-term receivables and borrowings approximate fair value because their interest rates charged approximate the market rates for financial instruments with similar terms.
 
Receivables
 
Trade receivables are carried at original invoiced amount less a provision for any potential uncollectible amounts. Provisions are applied to trade receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balance may not be collectible. The identification of doubtful accounts requires the use of judgment and estimates of management. Our management must make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We believe based on the current economic condition and our history of collections on accounts and notes receivable, our allowance for doubtful accounts was adequate at September 30, 2013.
 
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
 
We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, we project undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition over the remaining life of the asset. If projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset will not be recovered, we reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the projected discounted cash flows. In the past, we have not had to make significant adjustments to the carrying values of our long-lived assets, and we do not anticipate a need to do so in the future. However, circumstances could cause us to have to reduce the value of our capitalized assets more rapidly than we have in the past if our revenues were to significantly decline. Estimated cash flows from the use of the long-lived assets are highly uncertain and therefore the estimation of the need to impair these assets is reasonably likely to change in the future. Should the economy or acceptance of our assets change in the future, it is likely that our estimate of the future cash flows from the use of these assets will change by a material amount. There were no impairments at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense with graded vesting on a straight–line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expenses using the Binomial Lattice valuation model estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value.

Revenues. Our total revenues increased by 27.2%, or approximately ¥2.4 million ($0.4 million), from ¥9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to ¥11.5 million ($1.9 million) for the same period of 2013. The changes in our revenues for the three-month period were due to the following factors:
 
(1)
Hardware business. During the three-month ended September 30, 2013, the increase in hardware revenue was mainly caused by higher sales of furnaces.
     
(2)
Service business. Service revenue for three months ended September 30, 2012 consisted mainly of minor maintenance services, which were provided upon request by customers. Our fracturing business is still proceeding, and we also obtained new contracts of this business. Since all projects are still under going, no revenue from fracturing service was recorded this quarter. Besides, we successfully achieved access certification of Sinopec HuaBei Oilfield branch, which means we can provide fracturing service with broad solid customer base.
     
(3)
Hardware – related parties. Sales of hardware from related parties decreased because we used to develop business on Ji Dong oilfield through some local agent companies. After we achieved business entrance certification in the name of Recon and could cooperate with oilfield customers directly two years ago, revenue from related-parties decreased. Nevertheless, because local agencies might still purchase automation products from Recon, there will likely be revenue from related parties, and revenue of both hardware and software from related parties is likely to fluctuate from year to year.
     
(4)
Software business. The software sales increased approximately ¥1.9 million ($0.3 million). We record revenue as software sales if (1) the customer signs a separate software contract with us, or (2) the customer accepts VAT invoices for software. The amount of our revenues categorized as software sales may fluctuate because certain software may be sold with hardware at times as a whole product and not separately priced

  Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues includes raw materials and costs related to design, implementation, delivery and maintenance of products and services. All materials and components we need can be purchased or manufactured by subcontracts. Usually the prices of electronic components do not fluctuate dramatically due to market competition and will not significantly affect our cost of revenues. However, specialized equipment and incentive chemical products may be directly influenced by metal and oil price fluctuations. Additionally, the prices of some imported accessories mandated by our customers can also impact our cost.
 
Our cost of revenues decreased from approximately ¥6.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 to approximately ¥6.2 million ($1 million) for the same period of 2013, a decrease of approximately ¥0.4 million ($0.1 million), or 5.9%. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenues decreased from 73.0% in 2012 to 54.0% in 2013. This decrease was mainly caused by lower software business costs.
 
Gross profit. Our gross profit increased to approximately ¥5.3 million ($0.9 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from approximately ¥2.4 million for the same period in 2012. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 46.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 27.0% for the same period in 2012. This was mainly because software sales had higher gross margin and accounted for an increased percentage of our total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period last year.

Cost of revenue from hardware -related parties decreased, causing gross profit from non-related parties increased, was mainly because revenue from software business, which usually has a higher margin, accounted larger proportion of our revenue.

Selling and distribution expenses. Selling and distribution expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenditures of our sales and marketing organization, sales commissions, costs of our marketing programs including advertising and trade shows, and an allocation of our facilities and depreciation expenses. Selling expenses increased by 6.7%, from approximately ¥1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to approximately ¥1.4 million ($0.2 million) for the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily from increased service charges. Selling expenses were 14.0% of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 11.8% of total revenues in the same period of 2013.
 
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs in human resources, facilities costs, depreciation expenses, professional advisor fees, audit fees, option expenses and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. General and administrative expenses increased by 38.3%, or ¥0.8 million ($0.1 million), from approximately ¥2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 to approximately ¥2.7 million ($0.5 million) in the same period of 2013. General and administrative expenses were 21.9% of total revenues in 2012 and 23.8% of total revenues in 2013. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to increase in allowance for doubtful accounts, legal fees and traveling expenses.
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenditures of our research and development projects. Research and development expenses decreased by 54.8%, from approximately ¥1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to approximately ¥0.7 million ($0.1 million) for the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to the less input of materials and equipment of R&D on our furnaces and fracturing services.

Income (loss) from operations. Income from operations was approximately ¥0.5 million ($0.1 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to loss of ¥2.3 million for the same period of 2012. This increase in income from operations can be attributed primarily to the increased revenue, gross margins and decreases in percentage of revenue for selling and distribution expenses as well as research and development expenses.
 
Interest and other income (expense). Interest and other expense was ¥88,974 ($14,499) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to interest and other income of ¥33,153 for the same period of 2012. The ¥122,127 ($19,902) increase in interest and other expense was primarily due to increase in loss from investment offset by increase in subsidy income and interest income, and decrease in interest expense and foreign currency exchange.
 
Provision for income tax. We provide for income tax based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to US GAAP. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is not likely that the asset will be realized. We have not been subject to any income taxes in the United States or the Cayman Islands. Enterprises doing business in the PRC are generally subject to federal (state) enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%; however, Nanjing Recon and BHD were granted the certification of High Technology Enterprise and are taxed at a rate of 15% for taxable income generated.
 
Provision for income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was ¥31,624 and provision for income tax was ¥207,327 ($33,786) for the three months ended September 30, 213. This increase of provision for income tax was mainly due to the income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Net income (loss). As a result of the factors described above, net income was ¥206,354 ($33,628) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of above ¥2.5 million ($0.4 million) from net loss of ¥2.3 million for the same period of 2012.
 
Net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders. As a result of the factors described above, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was ¥46,444 ($7,569) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of approximately ¥2.4 million ($0.4 million) from net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of ¥2.3 million for same period of 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA
 
Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense, interest expense, loss from investment, non-cash stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization. We think it is useful to an equity investor in evaluating our operating performance because: (1) it is widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired; and (2) it helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately ¥3.2 million ($0.5 million) to approximately ¥1.5 million ($0.2 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to approximately ¥1.7 million loss for the same period in 2012. This was due to improved operation. Compared to net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, we believe EBITDA more accurately reflects our operations.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid short-term debt investments with stated maturities of no more than six months. As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately ¥6.7 million ($1.1 million).
 
Indebtedness. As of September 30, 2013, except for approximately ¥0.5 million ($0.1 million) of short-term borrowings from third parties, approximately ¥0.3 million ($0.04 million) of short-term borrowings from related parties, ¥0.9 million ($0.1 million) in lease commitments and ¥17.56 million ($2.9 million) in commercial loans from local banks, we did not have any finance leases or purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

Holding Company Structure. We are a holding company with no operations of our own. All of our operations are conducted through our Domestic Companies. As a result, our ability to pay dividends and to finance any debt that we may incur is dependent upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from the Domestic Companies. In addition, Chinese legal restrictions permit payment of dividends to us by our Domestic Companies only out of their accumulated net profit, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. Under Chinese law, our Domestic Companies are required to set aside a portion (at least 10%) of their after-tax net income (after discharging all cumulated loss), if any, each year for compulsory statutory reserve until the amount of the reserve reaches 50% of our Domestic Companies’ registered capital. These funds may be distributed to shareholders at the time of each Domestic Company’s wind up.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders’ equity, or that are not reflected in our financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
 
Capital Resources. To date we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, bank loans and short-term borrowings. As of September 30, 2013, we had total assets of approximately ¥133.1 million ($21.7 million), which includes cash amounting to approximately ¥6.7 million ($1.1 million), net accounts receivable from third parties amounting to approximately ¥35.9 million ($5.8 million), and net accounts receivable from related parties amounting to approximately ¥18.6 million ($3 million). Working capital amounted to approximately ¥79.4 million ($12.9 million), and shareholders’ equity amounted to approximately ¥82 million ($13.3 million).
 
Cash from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately ¥8.0 million ($1.3 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This was a decrease of approximately ¥8.2 million ($1.3 million) compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately ¥0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. In more detail:
 
Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately ¥8.0 million ($1.3 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, was primarily attributable to net income adjusted to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities of ¥1.1 million ($0.2 million). Net cash used in changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net cash use of ¥9.2 million ($1.5 million), which mainly due to:
 
 
1)
¥2.1 million ($0.3 million) change in other receivable, which was mainly due to increase of loans to third parties and business advance to staff related to oilfield and on-site installation and inspection of projects;
 
2)
¥2.1 million ($0.3 million) change in purchase advance, a ¥4.7 million ($0.8 million) change in inventory and a ¥2.9 million ($0.5 million) change in trade accounts payable, were mainly because we purchased goods for our coming projects;
 
3)
¥2.6 million ($0.4 million) changes in other payables was mainly due to settlement of professional fees and payments to related parties;
 
4)
Offset by a ¥2.8 million ($0.5 million) change in trade accounts receivable as we strengthen cash collection of receivables; and
 
5)
Offset by a ¥2.6 million ($0.4 million) change in notes receivable as we collected the full amount of them.
 
Cash from Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was ¥6,720 ($1,095) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of ¥374,686 ($61,060) from ¥381,406 for the same period of 2012. The decrease was due to decrease in purchase of property and equipment.
 
Cash from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately ¥2.3 million ($0.4 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of approximately ¥1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, we repaid approximately ¥5.2 million ($0.9 million) short term borrowings to related parties and received ¥7.56 million ($1.2 million) loan proceeds from a commercial bank, which was guaranteed by one of our officers and major shareholders of the Company.

Working Capital. Total working capital as of September 30, 2013 amounted to approximately ¥79.4 million ($12.9 million), compared to approximately ¥82 million as of June 30, 2013. Total current assets as of September 30, 2013 amounted to approximately ¥123.1 million ($20.1million), a decrease of approximately ¥5.6 million ($0.9 million) compared to approximately ¥128.7 million at June 30, 2013. The decrease in total current assets at September 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2013 was mainly due to decrease of trade accounts receivable and offset by increase in inventory.
 
Current liabilities amounted to approximately ¥43.7 million ($7.1 million) at September 30, 2013, in comparison to approximately ¥46.7 million at June 30, 2013. This reduction of liabilities was attributable mainly to payment of trade accounts payable and repayment of short-term borrowings of related parties, and offset by increase in short-term bank loans.

Item 4.                    Controls and Procedures.

 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of September 30, 2013, the company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were ineffective in timely alerting them to information required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 The Company, with the assistance of an independent internal controls consultant, has developed a specific plan to address our control deficiencies. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has completed the necessary documentation of our internal controls and implemented the following remedial initiatives:
 
·    Improved the design and documentation related to multiple levels of review over financial statements included in our SEC filings;
·    Expanded the design and assessment test work over the monitoring function of entity level controls;
·    Enhanced documentation retention policies over test work related to continuous management assessments of internal control effectiveness;
·    Expanded documentation practices and policies related to various key controls to provide support and audit trails for both internal management assessment as well as external auditor testing; and
·    Enhanced internal control policy implementation by hiring experienced reporting consultant and strengthening training financial staffs of US GAAP.
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except as disclosed above.

RECON TECHNOLOGY, LTD
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1.                ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Organization – Recon Technology, Ltd (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on August 21, 2007 as a company with limited liability. The Company provides oilfield specialized equipment, automation systems, tools, chemicals and field services to petroleum companies in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Its wholly owned subsidiary, Recon Technology Co., Limited (“Recon-HK”) was incorporated on September 6, 2007 in Hong Kong. Other than the equity interest in Recon-HK, the Company does not own any assets or conduct any operations. On November 15, 2007, Recon-HK established one wholly owned subsidiary, Jining Recon Technology Ltd. (“Recon-JN”) under the laws of the PRC. Other than the equity interest in Recon-JN, Recon-HK does not own any assets or conduct any operations.
 
The Company conducts its business through the following PRC legal entities that were consolidated as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and operate in the Chinese oilfield equipment & service industry:
 
1.     Beijing BHD Petroleum Technology Co., Ltd. (“BHD”), and
 
2.     Nanjing Recon Technology Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Recon”).
 
Nature of Operations – The Company engaged in (1) providing equipment, tools and other hardware related to oilfield production and management, including simple installations in connection with some projects; (2) service to improve production and efficiency of exploited oil wells, and (3) developing and selling its own specialized industrial automation control and information solutions. The products and services provided by the Company include:
 
High-Efficiency Heating Furnaces - High-Efficiency Heating Furnaces are designed to remove the impurities and to prevent solidification blockage in transport pipes carrying crude petroleum. Crude petroleum contains certain impurities including water and natural gas, which must be removed before the petroleum can be sold.
 
Multi-Purpose Fissure Shaper - Multipurpose fissure shapers improve the extractors’ ability to test for and extract petroleum which requires perforation into the earth before any petroleum extractor can test for the presence of oil.
 
Horizontal Multistage Fracturing related Service - The Company mainly uses Baker Hughes FracPoint™ system and provides related service to oilfield companies. The Baker Hughes FracPoint™ system provided a completion method using packers to isolate sections of the wellbore (stages) and frac sleeves to direct the frac treatment to the desired stage. The use of this type of completion eliminated the need for cementing the liner, coiled tubing operations, and wireline operations, while significantly reducing overall pumping time.
 
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (“SCADA”) - SCADA is an industrial computerized process control system for monitoring, managing and controlling petroleum extraction. SCADA integrates underground and aboveground activities of the petroleum extraction industry. This system can help to manage the oil extraction process in real-time to reduce the costs associated with extraction.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring entries, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The results of operations for the interim periods presented may not be indicative of the operating results to be expected for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.

RECON TECHNOLOGY, LTD
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Variable Interest Entities - A VIE is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We perform ongoing assessments to determine whether an entity should be considered a VIE and whether an entity previous identified as a VIE continues to be a VIE and whether we continue to be the primary beneficiary.
 
Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.
 
Currency Translation - The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in Chinese Yuan. The statements as of and for the three months period ended September 30, 2013 have been translated into United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”) solely for the convenience of the readers. The translation has been made at the rate of ¥6.1364 = US$1.00, the approximate exchange rate prevailing on September 30, 2013. These translated U.S. dollar amounts should not be construed as representing Chinese Yuan amounts or that the Chinese Yuan amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars.
 
Estimates and assumptions- The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of property and equipment and the fair value of stock based payments. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Values of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for trade accounts receivable, other receivables, purchase advances, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances from customers, short-term bank loan and short-term borrowings approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Long-term borrowings approximate fair value because the interest rate charged approximates the market rate. Long-term other receivables approximate fair value because interest rate approximates the market rate. Long-term investment is carried at less than fair value, with fair value determined using level 1 inputs. (See Note 8.)
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid short-term debt investments with stated original maturities of no more than three months. Since a majority of the bank accounts are located in the PRC, those bank balances are uninsured.
 
Trade Accounts and Other Receivables - Accounts receivable are carried at original invoiced amount less a provision for any potential uncollectible amounts. Accounts are considered past due when the related receivables are more than a year old. Provision is made against trade accounts and other receivables to the extent they are considered to be doubtful. Accounts are written off after extensive efforts at collection. Other receivables arise from transactions with non-trade customers.
 
Purchase Advances - Purchase advances are the amounts prepaid to suppliers for purchases of inventory and are recognized as inventory when the final amount is paid to the suppliers and the inventory is delivered.
 
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, on a weighted average basis for BHD. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, on a first-in-first-out basis for Nanjing Recon and ENI. The methods of determining inventory costs are used consistently from year to year. Allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided when the market value of certain inventory items are lower than the cost.

RECON TECHNOLOGY, LTD
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Tax Recoverable – Tax recoverable represented amounts paid for value added tax (VAT) on purchases in the PRC amounting to ¥575,650 at June 30, 2013 and ¥774,874 ($126,275) at September 30, 2013. The amount can be used to offset VAT payable on sales made by the Company.
 
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on motor vehicles and office equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets.
 
Long-term investment – Long-term investment in equity over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but not control, and that, in general, are 20-50 percent owned, are stated at cost plus equity in undistributed net income (loss) of the investee. These investments are evaluated for impairment, in which an impairment loss would be recorded whenever a decline in the value of an equity investment below its carrying amount is determined to be “other than temporary.” In judging “other than temporary,” the Company would consider the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the investment has been less than the carrying amount of the investment, the near-term and longer-term operating and financial prospects of the investee, and the Company’s longer-term intent of retaining the investment in the investee.
 
Long-Lived Assets - The Company applies the ASC Topic 360 “Property, plant and equipment.” ASC Topic 360 requires that long-lived assets, such as property and equipment be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. There were no impairments at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013.
 
Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when the following four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the customers and the customers have signed a completion and acceptance report, risk of loss has transferred to the customers, customers acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that the criteria specified in customers’ acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.
 
Hardware:
Revenue from hardware sales is generally recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are no unfulfilled company obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance of the arrangement.
 
Software:
The Company sells self-developed software. For software sales, the Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 985 - 605 “Software Revenue Recognition”. Revenue from software is recognized according to project contracts. Contract costs are accumulated during the periods of installation and testing or commissioning. Usually this is short term. Revenue is not recognized until completion of the contracts and receipt of acceptance statements.
 
Service:
The Company provides services to improve software function and system operation on separated fixed-price contracts. Revenue is recognized on the completed contract method when acceptance is determined by a completion report signed by the customer.
 
Deferred revenue represents unearned amounts billed to customers related to sales contracts.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Subsidy Income - Grants are given by the government to support local software companies’ operation and research and development. Grants related to research and development projects are recognized as subsidy income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when received. Grants in the form of value-added-tax refund for software products are recognized when received.
 
Share-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense with graded vesting on a straight–line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expenses using the Binomial Lattice valuation model estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value.
 
Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, and tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The Company has not been subject to any income taxes in the United States or the Cayman Islands.
 
Under ASC Topic 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Income tax returns for the years prior to 2009 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.
 
Earnings (loss) per Share (“EPS”) - Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted EPS are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary share equivalents outstanding.
 
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares, ordinary shares equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive ordinary shares consist of ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of ordinary stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). However, the effect from options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive due to the fact that the weighted average exercise price per share of options and warrants is higher than the weighted average market price per ordinary share during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013.

The first four payments are RMB 1.2 million each. In March, June, September and December of 2012, the Company received an aggregate of RMB 4.8 million. Starting March 2013, installments for each quarter would be ¥1,777,653. The Company has received the payments on time in March and June, 2013. On September 30, 2013, ENI proposed to extend the payment period and signed a new contract with the Company. According to the new arrangement, the remaining part of this loan will be repaid over four years with quarterly installments of ¥699,147. The payments after 1 year are RMB 7,254,709 ($1,182,242).

NOTE 8. Long-term investment
 
On June 28, 2013, the Company purchased 2,800,000 restricted shares of Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc. ("Avalon") for $0.089 per share, or approximately ¥1.5 million ($250,000). Since the restriction for the shares is for two years, the Company was able to acquire the shares at 50% of the market value. As a result, Recon owns 32.22% of Avalon's outstanding shares. The investment was accounted for using the equity method and no gain or loss from equity investment was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2013 due to immateriality. As of September 30, 2013, Recon owns 27.43% of Avalon’s outstanding shares due to Avalon issuing more shares. Avalon is an independent US domestic oil and natural gas producer listed on the OTCBB under the ticker symbol AOGN. Avalon is building a portfolio of oil and gas producing properties to generate asset growth. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, Avalon had revenue of approximately $40,000 and net loss of $0.2 million. The Company recorded a loss of ¥374,614 ($61,048) for its share of Avalon’s loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
