SHANGHAI, April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Energy
Recovery Inc. (CGYV) ("CER"), an emerging growth company and
international leader in the development of cutting-edge waste heat
energy recovery systems, is returning to full reporting with
today's filing of its financial results for its fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010. China Energy
Recovery's present auditing firm is PricewaterhouseCoopers.
In 2010 China Energy Recovery invested in the construction and
implementation of new 150,000 sq ft state-of-the-art manufacturing
facilities in Yangzhou that were officially inaugurated on
January 8, 2011. This significant
investment, which dramatically increases the company's production
capacity, along with the development of a stronger engineering
base, has given China Energy Recovery the necessary infrastructure
to meet its future growth initiatives.
"2010 was a year of significant transition, as it marks the
first phase of a three-year plan to give the company enhanced
manufacturing and design capabilities, in order to absorb the
growing number of orders we are receiving, and emerge as one of the
principal leaders at the forefront of the energy recovery sector in
China, and around the word," said
Qinghuan Wu, China Energy Recovery's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer.
"CER's investment in these new state-of-the-art facilities, the
move of our manufacturing from Shanghai to Yangzhou and the hiring and
training of new staff and engineers, resulted in delays in delivery
and substantial additional cost, which understandably translated
into a smaller recognized revenue and a loss in 2010," continued
Mr. Wu. "However, this investment was a necessity to allow the
company to undertake the future production pipeline and satisfy the
needs of a fast increasing demand of the market. This strategy has
already translated in nearly $115
million in works for 2011, or five times the total revenue
of 2010. This spectacular surge in orders effectively confirms the
validity of the company's long-term strategic vision."
For the fiscal year ending December 31,
2010, CER generated $21.2
million in revenue compared to $22.2
million in revenue in fiscal 2009. Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) costs for fiscal 2010 were $6.4 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period last year. The
increase in SGA expense was due primarily to an increase in labor
and training costs as the company added over 100 new management and
professional staff in 2010. CER recorded a net loss of $3.5 million or ($0.11) per share in fiscal 2010 compared with a
net loss of $886,480 or ($0.03) per share in the same period a year
ago.
CER had $3.0 million in cash at
the end of the period.
Mr. Wu concluded, "The results for fiscal 2010 reflect a period
of substantial transformation for the company. CER made the shift
from a much smaller, single-product contract manufacturing company
to a far larger firm, more focused on EPC contracts for which the
company realizes much higher revenue. It was only at the end of the
year that CER was able to move from its manufacturing quarters in
Shanghai to the much larger,
state-of-the-art facilities in Yangzhou. With this transition
completed, CER is now able to focus on expanding its operations to
suit its larger-scale EPC-oriented sales development, and ready to
embrace the next phase of its planned development. We strive to
keep our prospective investors and our loyal shareholders informed
of our expansion initiatives in 2011, and we look forward to
providing updates on our progress in the coming weeks and
months."
What is Waste Heat Energy Recovery?
Industrial facilities release significant amounts of excess heat
into the atmosphere in the form of hot exhaust gases or
high-pressure steam. Energy recovery is the process of recovering
as much as two-thirds of that wasted energy and converting it into
usable heat energy or electricity, dramatically lowering energy
costs. Energy recovery systems are also capable of lowering heat
pollution and capturing harmful pollutants that would otherwise be
released into the environment. It is estimated that if energy
currently wasted by all the U.S. industrial facilities could be
recovered, it could produce power equivalent to 20% of U.S.
electricity generation capacity without burning any additional
fossil fuel, and could help many industries to meet stringent
environmental regulations.
About China Energy Recovery, Inc.
China Energy Recovery Inc. (CGYV.PK) is a leading international
engineering and manufacturing company that specializes in the
design, fabrication and installation and of cutting-edge waste heat
energy recovery systems. Using patented technology developed by a
team of over 100 engineers, CER's energy recovery systems capture
and convert waste energy that is produced by heavy industrial
processes into low-cost electrical power. CER's environmentally
friendly technology enables industrial manufacturers to reduce
their energy costs, shrink their emissions footprint and generate
saleable emissions credits. Not only is the technology good
for the environment, investments in CER's waste heat recovery
systems typically pay off in energy savings over a
one-to-three-year period. The company's primary focus is the market
in China, which represents one of
the largest concentrations of heavy industry in the world. However,
due to increasing international interest, CER's systems are now
operating in heavy industrial plants located in Egypt, Korea, Vietnam and Malaysia. In 2010 CER finished the
construction of China's first
state-of-the-art energy recovery system research and fabrication
facility, which will allow CER to meet increased demand for its
products and services worldwide.
