CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company, I am pleased to present the annual report of the Company and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the "Year").
BUSINESS REVIEW AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
During the Year, the coronavirus outbreak (the "COVID-19") continued to affect the Group's business, primarily because of the reduction in travelling and passenger journeys, resulting from the on-goinganti-pandemic measures. As a result, the financial performance of the Group for the Year has been severely affected, mainly attributable to the net effect of (i) the decrease in revenue by 8.8% from RMB50.9 million in 2020 to RMB46.4 million for the Year primarily due to the closure of main roads near one of the Group's gas refuelling substations;
- the decrease in impairment loss of trade receivables (2021: credit of RMB0.7 million; 2020: RMB5.5 million); and (iii) the decrease in administrative expenses by approximately RMB7.7 million (2021: RMB8.5 million; 2020: RMB16.2 million) due to the absence of certain one- off professional fees incurred in relation to the acquisitions during 2020. Accordingly, the Group's net loss for the Year decreased by 62.4% from RMB22.6 million in 2020 to RMB8.5 million for the Year.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The Group aims to deliver a safe and reliable supply of clean energy as well as the caring, competent and efficient services to customers; offer a grow and sustainable performance to shareholders; create extensive professional and personal development opportunities to employees; and contribute to the protection and improvement of the environment in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").
Looking forward, the Group is optimistic about the growth of consumption of CNG along with China improving its energy consumption structure by shifting from coal to cleaner energy such as natural gas and other renewable energy. The Group believes that favourable government policies and industry trends in the PRC will foster the development of the natural gas sector and stimulate domestic demand for the use of natural gas.
The Group has been actively considering and exploring various business opportunities according to the market conditions with an aim to diversify the income sources and to enhance the shareholders' value.
APPRECIATION
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my fellow directors for their guidance, to all staff for their dedication and hard work, and to all our shareholders and customers for their continued support.
LIU Yong Cheng
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director
