Management Commentary

Yin-Chieh "Jeff" Cheng, Chief Executive Officer, Nocera stated, "We are very pleased with the contract agreement. The President of Procare, Ms. Lee Chin Chu believes this investment is a step in the right direction for addressing China’s food supply requirements through the development of sustainable fish farms utilizing RAS tank systems. China introduced its new clean water policy in 2017, resulting in the removal of all fish farms in public waters, including lakes and rivers. As a result, Chinese fish farm operators have been forced to move to tank based fish farms in order to sustain production. In 2018, we produced and delivered 473 tank systems to our Chinese customers. We expect that the long-term demand over the next several years in China to be more than 10,000 systems, and more than 16,000 systems worldwide."
