About Greka Engineering & Technology
Greka Engineering & Technology Ltd., (AIM; GEL) was demerged
from Green Dragon Gas Ltd. (AIM; GDG) via a dividend in specie and
was admitted to trading on AIM in September 2013.
Greka Engineering offers turnkey solutions to over 100 upstream,
midstream and downstream gas suppliers. The Company's technologies
include Compressed Natural Gas/Liquefied Natural Gas (CNG/LNG)
compressor equipment, CNG retail dispenser equipment and coal bed
methane ("CBM") wellhead extraction technologies. The Company also
supplies proprietary Integrated Circuit Card Point of Sale (ICC
POS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software
and hardware solutions for the remote management of transmission
systems, power facilities, vehicle management and retail
services.
In addition, the Company invests in, operates and maintains
wholly owned assets for its customers in return for service
contracts based on the volume management.
The Company has historically completed several Engineering,
Procurement, Construction and Management (EPCM) contracts including
the design, construction and management of gas gathering systems, a
gas pipeline in Shanxi Province to the China West-East pipeline,
the installation and commissioning of a 10MW gas-fired power
facility in the Shanxi province and the construction of CNG retail
stations.
Chairman's Statement
2015 was a significant year for Greka Engineering. In a
demanding economic environment and with continued low oil prices,
we took this opportunity to optimize our business units, expand our
gas gathering systems and focus on our proven business model of
steady toll based revenue though high quality infrastructure
assets. The Company realized revenues of US$5.2 million in 2015, in
line with 2014, while the loss for the year of US$1.4 million was
reduced from the US$1.7 million loss in 2014.
Our high quality infrastructure assets of CBM field compressors,
pipeline gathering systems and integrated production facility (IPF)
continues to provide scope for our Company to deliver stable
revenue growth. Gas sales during the year were up 22% year on year
to 1.2 Bcf (35 million cubic meters) compared with gas sales of
0.98 Bcf (27.7 million cubic meters) in 2014. Power sales also
increased 22% to 13,361 Mwh in 2015 (2014: 10,916 Mwh).
In total 46 new wells were connected into the Company's gas
gathering system and a total of 27km of new pipeline were installed
in 2015, bringing the cumulative gas gathering pipeline network
length to 68km by year end. A technical review of our gathering
system was taken during the period and an optimization plan was
carried out during the year. This plan included the construction of
17 micro casing pressure production pumps and the installation of
23 pumping units at strategic locations. As at 31 December 2015,
there were a total of 39 casing pressure production pumps installed
dedicated to delivering gas from Green Dragon Gas Ltd.'s ("Green
Dragon Gas") wells into our production facilities.
Within the power generation division, the Company installed 8km
of power lines and connected 23 additional Green Dragon Gas wells
to the power grid. We also constructed 0.45km of power lines to
service 5 CUCBM valve groups during 2015. Following our successful
power supply pilot program with CUCBM, CUCBM signed a Power Supply
Framework contract to connect their wells into our power grid and
for Greka Engineering to provide electricity to power their wells.
By year end a total of 7 valve groups relating to 89 wells had been
connected and supplied with power. It is expected that all 400
wells of CUCBM will eventually be connected to our power grid, with
approximately 200 wells to be connected during 2016.
The technology division completed 10 wellhead SCADA systems, 1
CNG retail station SCADA system and 17 compressor SCADA systems
during 2015.
The manufacturing division sold 47 sets of refuelling equipment
- which included 35 sets of CNG/LNG dispensers, 6 cylinders and 6
un-loading cylinders. Additionally, 5 sets of dispensers were
leased out to retail station together with compressor and gas
storage served as a package. 17 new wellhead compressors were
manufactured, delivered and installed in field as part of the gas
gathering system optimization work.
As a technology company, we understand the need to constantly
innovate and bring new ideas to service our clients' needs. In 2015
we embarked on two new research and development projects.
We are in development of a new compressor with better efficiency
and stability which will translate to increased gas production for
our clients. This technology is expected to revolutionize our
product offering and we expect to grow our client base
significantly.
We completed our LNG pump skid prototype and hope for it to
enter the market during 2016 following a six month trial
programme.
Finally, in 2013 the Company began research on a four-line
dispenser. In 2015 we expanded the project and have entered into a
formal cooperation agreement with Enric to jointly develop a
compression-free CNG Retail Station. This new technology will
revolutionize the CNG retail industry.
2015 was a year of achievements for the Company with milestones
across all business units. Going forward we expect to capitalize on
the momentum created during 2015 in improving our gathering
infrastructure, expanding our power generation foot print and
delivering innovative solutions for our clients.
Despite our progress during 2015, we note the Company's
continued poor share price performance and the lack of liquidity in
its shares, and are considering whether the costs of maintaining
its listing on AIM are justified by the benefits the listing
brings. An update on this matter will be announced in due
course.

Notes to the financial information for the year ended 31
December 2015
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, that are effective for
accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The
principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the
financial statements are set out in the Group's full annual report
and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015.
2. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group determines its operating segments based on reports,
reviewed by the chief operating decision-makers ("CODMs"), which
are also used to make strategic decisions.
The Group reports its operations as two reportable segments: gas
equipment sales and the provision of contract infrastructure
services in the PRC. The division of the engineering and technology
operations into two reportable segments is reflective of how the
CODMs manage the business.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same
as those described in the summary of principal accounting policies.
We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on
revenues from external customers and segmental profits.

The Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and is not
subject to income tax. The primary operating companies are
incorporated in the PRC and are subject to 25% tax rates. The group
has unrecognised losses of $418,074 (2014: $1,274,075) which are
not recognised given uncertainties in future taxable profits. These
tax losses expire in 5 years.
7. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE / DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The strategy of the Greka Engineering is to develop its
engineering and technology operations. In order to focus on the
delivery of this strategy, prior to the demerger from Green Dragon
Gas Ltd, during 2012 one of the Company's subsidiaries agreed a
proposal to sell its non-core transportation operations to
subsidiaries being retained within the Green Dragon Gas Ltd group
following the demerger. Subsequently, it entered a legal agreement
with Green Dragon Gas Limited on 1 July 2013 to dispose of motor
vehicles and equipment for $1,753,357 of cash consideration in line
with the previously agreed proposals. The completion of the
transaction was subject to obtaining necessary legislative
approvals which delayed the ultimate transaction. During the year
on 31 October 2015, the company completed above transaction and the
Group's transport operations were disposed to Green Dragon Gas
Limited. The consideration was increased to $1,876,000 with the
remaining $123,000 recorded as a related party receivable
