At Recon Annual Shareholders Meeting, CEO Says Developments In FY 2014 Help Set The Stage For The Company's Long Term Growth

 

 

BEIJING, July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In his address in Beijing at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Recon Technology, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RCON) ("Recon" or the "Company"), a leading independent oilfield services provider operating primarily in China, Chairman and CEO Mr. Yin Shenping said that while it is too early to make specific predictions about full year bottom line results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, the Company already has exceeded prior year sales in the first nine months of the fiscal year.

 

Mr. Yin added, "Even more important in the fiscal 2013-2014 time frame has been the expansion and increased acceptance of our products by some of the largest companies in China's oil and gas industry." He stated further, "Ten years from today shareholders looking back at fiscal years 2013 and 2014 will see them as the launching point for what by then we believe will be a significantly larger, more dynamic company."

 

Recent Developments Buoy Optimism

 

Mr. Yin pointed to several recent developments that buoyed his optimism about the future, including the Company's solid performance in a slower economy, recognition by the Chinese government of the financial system reforms needed to achieve long term economic growth, and the new focus on improving the environment and safer drilling, while coal remains China's primary energy resource. He stated, "The combination of these factors point to continuing opportunities in China's oil and gas industry and for our Company in particular."

 

Faster Growth Possible

 

Noting the size and stature the Company has achieved in the industry, Mr. Yin said, "we believe we may be on the cusp of new degrees of faster growth and expansion," and he said that this may come from geographic expansion, growth via cooperation agreements and/or acquisitions, and thirdly, expansion to new segments of the energy industry.

 

A transcript of Mr. Yin's speech is available on the Recon website (see below).
