Management Statement

Mr. Guangqiang Chen, Founder and Chairman of Recon said, "We're pleased to announce another long-term agreement with our client for our wastewater treatment business. With the recovery of oil prices, the production activities of our clients are also increasing, which inevitably leads to an increase in the amount of oily wastewater and effluent in the oil production process. The Chinese oilfield companies take environmental protection very seriously, and in order to ensure that the produced effluent meets the discharge standards, our clients need to commission a professional third party to treat the oily effluent produced during their production process. Recon has been investing enough in the oilfield environmental protection business in recent years and we believe our solutions are now in a leading position of the industry. Our oilfield environmental business is now in a fast-growing stage, and has achieved a 544% year-over-year growth in the six-month period ended December 31, 2021. We will continue to maintain our focus on the oilfield environmental business segment and expect the business to continue to bring new profit growth to the company in the future."
