Quarterly Report
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in this Report. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. The following discussion regarding the Company and its business and operations contains forward-looking statements that consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, these include statements relating to our expectation that we will continue to have adequate liquidity from cash flow from operations and the other risks and uncertainties, which are described below under "RISK FACTORS." The reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements, including the risk factors discussed in this Report. The Company does not have a policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements and thus it should not be assumed that silence by management of the Company over time means that actual events are bearing out as estimated in such forward-looking statements.
Overview
We transport, distribute and sell natural gas to commercial, industrial and
residential customers in the Xi'an area, including Lantian County and the
districts of Lintong and Baqiao, in the Shaanxi Province of The People's
Republic of China ("China" or the "PRC") through a network of 120km high
pressure pipelines. We also distribute and sell CNG as vehicular fuel through a
network of 32 CNG filling stations in Shaanxi and Henan Provinces. As of June
30, 2008, we own and operate 20 CNG filling stations in Shaanxi Province and 12
CNG filling stations in Henan Province.
We operate three primary business lines:
· Distribution and sale of compressed natural gas (CNG) through Company-owned CNG filling stations for hybrid (natural gas/gasoline) powered vehicles;
· Distribution and sale of piped natural gas to residential, commercial and industrial customers through Company-owned pipelines (91,967 homes and businesses as of June 30, 2008); and
· Conversion of gasoline-fueled vehicles to hybrid (natural gas/gasoline) powered vehicles at our Auto Conversion Division.
We buy all of the natural gas that we sell and distribute to our customers. We do not explore for or produce any of our own natural gas and have no plans to do so during the next 12 months. The natural gas that we buy is available in two forms: (i) piped natural gas; and (ii) CNG.
On October 24, 2006, Xi'an Xilan Natural Gas formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Shaanxi Jingbian Liquified Natural Gas Co., Ltd., for the purpose of constructing a liquefied natural gas facility to be located in Jingbian, Shaanxi Province. We plan to invest approximately $40 million to construct this facility, and we have secured such funding for this project through the sale of senior note to Abax Lotus Ltd. The LNG plant is under construction and is expected to start operation in late 2009. Once completed, the plant has LNG processing capacity of 500,000 cubic meters per day, or approximately 150 million cubic meters on an annual basis.
