Mr. Randeep S. Grewal, Chairman of Greka Engineering, commented:
"We are quite pleased with the results at half year. The expected reduction in equipment sales was well off-set by an increase in the core business of processing and transporting gas and generating power. The continuing expansion in the client base for power sales demonstrates the potential within this new market segment for the Company."

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 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
During the six months under review, the Company made progress in several areas including expanding the Integrated Production Facility and signing a new power contract with CUCBM. As a result, I am pleased to report H1 revenue of US$2.7m despite revenue from equipment sales bring significantly lower than the comparative period in 2014.
The Company continued to build and improve on our infrastructure assets to increase capacity with the objective of providing continued revenue growth and at the same time meeting the demand from our key customer, Green Dragon Gas. It is notable that CUCBM, also within the same gas production block, as expected continues to increase its demand for services from the Company. Furthermore, the Company successfully negotiated a connecting fee structure based on length of required pipelines from its clients so as to reduce our capital expenditure exposure.
In this first half, 9 new wells with 10km of additional pipe line were successfully connected to our gas gathering system which, along with some optimisation, increased our processed gas volume by 21% from 548,137 MCF or 15.5MCM in H1 2014 to 661,244 MCF (18.7MCM), a 19% increase in average daily volume. This provided 33% of revenue, a 7% increase over 26% in H1 2014.
We built an additional 7.8 km of power lines to supply an additional 21 wells for Green Dragon Gas. As a result, the Company now has a total of 79.6km of power lines. We also saw substantial growth within our power generation business. Jiaqin Agriculture Company (our first unaffiliated client for power) completed its equipment test process and began to use our power. We also signed a milestone power contract with CUCBM for an additional 54 wells following the successful implementation of the initial test of the 9 wells previously connected into the Company's power station last year. As a result, 8,676,154 kwh of electricity was generated during the period, a 23% increase over comparative period (H1 2014: 7,067,193 kwh), resulting in an 83% increase in power revenue (H1 2015: US$1.1m compared to H1 2014: US$0.5m). Revenue from power generation provided 41% of the Company's overall revenue (H1 2014: 22%).
In accordance with our objective this year, the Company successfully completed research on the development of C/LNG pump skids, a new product which will be launched later this year. We expect this new product to meet the evolving industry demand for dual fuel capability. Once in production, we hope to reverse our declining product sales.
In our technology division, the Company signed two contracts including 10 SCADA systems for wellheads and one SCADA system for a CNG retail gas station with Green Dragon Gas. These projects are ongoing and we expect to complete them by the year end.
It has been a busy first half year within each of our segments. While the equipment manufacturing division focused on evolving from CNG dispensers to C/LNG dispensers, each of the other segments saw organic growth. This is expected to continue in the second half of the year.
I look forward to providing further updates in due course.

Notes to the financial information
1. GENERAL
Greka Engineering & Technology Limited ("the Company") is incorporated in Cayman Islands under the Companies Law (2010 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. The registered office and principal place of business of the Company are located at PO Box 472, 2nd floor, Harbour Place, 103 South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1106, Cayman Islands and 12/F., No. 5 Building, Hua Meilong Plaza, Jing Wu Nan Road, Economy and Technology Development District, Zhengzhou, PRC respectively.
The Company is an investment holding company for a group of companies whose principal activities consist of the provision of engineering, procurement, construction and management for infrastructure projects in the PRC. These businesses are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Group".
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars which is same as the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of the subsidiaries of the Group is the Chinese Renminbi.
Basis of preparation
The condensed financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 is unaudited and does not constitute the Group's statutory financial statements for those periods. The condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union except for IAS 34. The financial statements of the Group for the 6 months ended 30 June 2015 were approved and authorized for issue by the Audit Committee and the Board on 21 September 2015.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies that are consistent with the December 2014 financial statements and the same policies are expected to apply for the year ended 31 December 2015. The financial information for the six months to 30 June 2015 does not constitute audited accounts of the Company or the Group. The accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014 were audited and the auditor's report for the year ended 31 December 2014 was unqualified add did not include any references to any matters to which auditors drew attention by way of emphasis.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the half-yearly condensed financial statements.
The financial information is presented in United States dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars (US$'000) except when otherwise indicated.
The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
3. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group determines its operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision-makers ("CODMs") that are 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 People's Republic of China (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 (see Note 2). The Group evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on revenues from external customers and segmental profits.

6. TAXATION
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.
7. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE / DISCONTINUING OPERATIONS
The strategy of the Group 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. Notwithstanding the period that has elapsed between meeting the requirements for classification as assets held for sale, the Group remains committed to the disposal and expects it to complete in due course. The completion of the transaction is subject to obtaining necessary legislative approvals.
