Management Commentary

Mr. Shenping Yin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Recon, commented: “Fiscal 2026 marked a significant turning point for Recon. Revenue increased by 65.8% to RMB109.9 million, and gross margin was lifted to 33.2%. These factors, when combined, narrowed our net loss compared to the previous year. The primary growth driver was our strategic expansion into overseas oilfield projects.

We are pleased to announce that we have reached a significant milestone that we have been working towards for several years. On 28 September 2026, we held a ceremony to mark the commencement of operations at our waste plastic chemical recycling plant in Weifang, Shandong Province. The plant has been designed to process 40,000 tons of low-value waste plastics per year, with an expected output of 30,000 tons of pyrolysis oil and 6,000 tons of carbon residue. This strategic partnership provides Recon with a solid foundation in the circular economy, offering a new growth opportunity in addition to our core oilfield services.

As we look ahead to fiscal 2027, our strategic priorities are clear as we will bring the chemical recycling plant to commercial production, extend our overseas and offshore oilfield footprint, and rebuild our domestic service capabilities. Oil price volatility and broader macroeconomic conditions continue to present challenges, however, we enter the new year with a more diversified business portfolio, a strengthened margin profile and a diligent cost structure. These elements, we believe, will underpin sustainable, long-term growth for our shareholders.”

Fiscal Year Ended 2026 Financial Results:

Revenue

Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2026 were approximately RMB109.9 million ($16.2 million), an increase of approximately RMB43.6 million ($6.4 million) or 65.8% from RMB66.3 million ($9.8 million) for the same period in 2025.

Revenue from automation product and software increased by RMB35.6 million ($5.3 million) or 104.5%. The increase was primarily driven by a RMB44.2 million revenue increase from overseas oilfield projects, partially offset by an RMB8.6 million decline in domestic business. The overseas revenue growth benefited from a phase-II oilfield capacity construction of a major overseas automation maintenance project. The domestic business decline was mainly due to reduced maintenance efforts in the domestic market during the period, as our focus shifted towards overseas projects. Going forward, the Company will reallocate personnel from overseas to strengthen domestic market maintenance services.Revenue from equipment and accessories increased by RMB9.4 million ($1.4 million) or 51.2%. The increase in revenue from equipment and spare parts was primarily driven by rising demand for new purchases and maintenance of such items. This was due to the ongoing need of domestic oilfield clients to maintain stable production levels.Revenue from oilfield environmental protection increased by RMB2.0 million ($0.3 million) or 19.4% primarily due to an increase in the settlement prices for some wastewater treatment clients.Revenue from platform outsourcing services decreased by RMB3.5 million ($0.5 million) or 100.00%. FGS’s operations were materially and adversely affected by strategic shifts in its major clients’ business decisions to terminate online cooperation of third-party companies and unfavorable changes in domestic industry policies. Consequently, FGS’s revenue and active business activities declined precipitously, resulting in zero revenue for fiscal year 2026.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenues increased from RMB51.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2025 to RMB73.4 million ($10.8 million) for the same period in 2026.

For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, cost of revenue from automation product and software was approximately RMB28.6 million and RMB47.2 million ($7.0 million), respectively, representing an increase of approximately RMB18.6 million ($2.7 million) or 65.0%. The increase in cost of revenue from automation product and software was primarily attributable to increased revenue of automation products and software.

For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, cost of revenue from equipment and accessories was approximately RMB13.2 million and RMB20.4 million ($3.0 million), respectively, representing an increase of approximately RMB7.2 million ($1.1 million) or 54.7%. The increase in costs of revenue was primarily driven by expanded business activity, mirroring the same factor behind the growth in revenue.

For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, cost of revenue from oilfield environmental protection was approximately RMB8.5 million and RMB5.7 million ($0.8 million), respectively, representing a decrease of approximately RMB2.8 million ($0.4 million) or 33.1%. While actively pursuing new business opportunities in a constrained market, the Company undertook testing projects. Given their high uncertainty, equipment costs for these projects were fully expensed upon purchase in the prior period, resulting in lower costs in the current period compared to the prior period.

For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, cost of revenue from platform outsourcing services was approximately RMB0.6 million and nil, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately RMB0.6 million ($0.1 million) or 100.0%. The reason for the decrease is consistent with that of the revenue decline.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased to RMB36.5 million ($5.4 million) for the year ended June 30, 2026 from RMB15.2 million ($2.2 million) for the same period in 2025. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 33.2% for the year ended June 30, 2026 from 23.0% for the same period in 2025.

For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, our gross profit from automation product and software was approximately RMB5.5 million and RMB22.5 million ($3.3 million), respectively, representing an increase in gross profit of approximately RMB17.0 million ($2.5 million) or 310.4%. The gross margin expansion to 32.3% was primarily driven by the higher-margin overseas oilfield projects, which contributed RMB44.2 million of revenue, representing approximately 63% of automation segment revenue for fiscal 2026. Excluding the overseas projects, our domestic automation gross margin remained relatively stable.For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, gross profit from equipment and accessories was approximately RMB5.2 million and RMB7.4 million ($1.1 million), respectively, representing an increase of approximately RMB2.2 million ($0.3 million) or 42.4%. The increase in gross profit was consistent with the change in revenue. The gross margin for equipment and accessories has remained relatively stable in this period.For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, gross profit from oilfield environmental protection was approximately RMB1.7 million and RMB6.6 million ($1.0 million), respectively, representing an increase of RMB4.9 million ($0.7 million) or 288.2%. The lower gross profit in fiscal 2025 was mainly due to testing projects, where the related equipment used for these projects was fully expensed as it was consumed during execution, when we were not sure that revenue from these projects could be recognized. The increase in gross margin from 16.9% to 53.4% was mainly attributable to the absence, in fiscal 2026, of the one-time testing project costs that were fully expensed as incurred in fiscal 2025, when revenue recognition for those testing projects remained uncertain. Excluding the impact of such one-time testing costs, the normalized gross margin for fiscal 2025 would have been higher, and the fiscal 2026 margin of 53.4% reflects a normal standard in settlement prices for certain wastewater treatment clients together with a more favorable project mix.For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, gross profit from platform outsourcing services was approximately RMB2.8 million and nil, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately RMB2.8 million ($0.4 million) or 100.0%. The decrease in gross profit was consistent with the change in revenue.

Operating expenses

Selling expenses decreased by 43.6%, or RMB4.1 million ($0.6 million), from RMB9.3 million ($1.4 million) in the year ended June 30, 2025 to RMB5.2 million ($0.8 million) in the same period of 2026.

General and administrative expenses increased by 11.8%, or RMB5.8 million ($0.9 million), from RMB49.6 million ($7.3 million) in the year ended June 30, 2025 to RMB55.4 million ($8.2 million) in the same period of 2026.

Net recovery of credit losses of RMB2.9 million ($0.4 million) for the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to net provision for credit losses of RMB4.1 million ($0.6 million) for the same period in 2026.

Research and development expenses decreased by 21.7%, or RMB3.6 million ($0.5 million) from RMB16.4 million ($2.4 million) for the year ended June 30, 2025 to RMB12.9 million ($1.9 million) for the same period of 2026.

Loss from operations

Loss from operations was RMB41.2 million ($6.1 million) for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to a loss of RMB57.3 million ($8.4 million) for the same period of 2025. This RMB16.1 million ($2.4 million) decrease in loss from operations was mainly driven by higher gross profit, as previously discussed.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

The Company classified the warrants issued in connection with common share offering as liabilities at their fair value and adjusted the warrant instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. Gain in change in fair value of warrant liability was RMB6,226 ($917) and RMB671 ($99) for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in the fair-value gain of the warrant liability was the change in the fair value assessment price.

Interest income

Net interest income was RMB10.9 million ($1.6 million) for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to net interest income of RMB12.3 million ($1.8 million) for the same period of 2025. The RMB1.4 million ($0.2 million) decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to the Company’s receipt of partial repayments of loans to third parties, partially offset by interest income from outstanding loans to third parties, during the year ended June 30, 2026.

Other income (expenses), net.

Other net expenses was RMB1.3 million ($0.2 million) for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to other net income of RMB1.3 million ($0.2 million) for the same period of 2025. The RMB2.6 million ($0.4 million) decrease in other net income was primarily due to the closure of Qinghai BHD and the disposal of 51% equity interest in MSJ, which together resulted in a total loss on equity shares investments of RMB1.1 million. Additionally, following the closure of the Qinghai office, RMB0.6 million in payables that could no longer be settled was recognized as income, RMB0.2 million in receivables that could not be collected was written off as a loss and an increase in foreign exchange transaction expenses of RMB1.0 million due to the fluctuation of exchange rate of RMB against US dollars during the year ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025.

Net loss

As a result of the factors described above, net loss was RMB31.6 million ($4.7 million) for the year ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of RMB12.1 million ($1.8 million) from net loss of RMB43.7 million ($6.4 million) for the same period of 2025.

Cash and short-term investment

As of June 30, 2026, we had cash in the amount of approximately RMB29.7 million ($4.4 million) and short-term investment in bank fixed income product of approximately RMB9.0 million ($1.3 million). As of June 30, 2025, we had cash in the amount of approximately RMB98.9 million ($14.6 million) and short-term investment in bank fixed income product of approximately RMB3.6 million ($0.5 million).

TIMEX COLLABORATES WITH GOOGLE CLOUD TO HELP BRING ANALOG TIME-TELLING TO A NEW GENERATION WITH TIMEX TALES

New AI-powered storybook experience that teaches kids to read analog clocks brings time literacy back to families

SHELTON, Conn., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Timex®, a pioneer in the watchmaking industry, today announced the launch of Timex Tales, an interactive storytelling experience using Google Gemini, designed to help parents and teachers guide children in learning how to read a traditional analog clock. In a world where many children rely on digital devices to tell time, Timex is bringing back the magic of analog, one story at a time.

Timex Tales blends imaginative storytelling with hands-on learning tools to make time-telling engaging, accessible, and fun for children ages 5–10. According to a recent survey commissioned by Timex, 2 in 5 children ages 6-9 years old struggle to confidently read an analog clock, underscoring a growing gap in foundational time literacy skills.

Timex Tales addresses that gap by teaching children how to:

Understand the hour and minute hands and confidently read the timeDifferentiate between AM and PMConnect time concepts to daily rhythms of morning, afternoon, and evening

Through personalized adventures, generated by Nano Banana, children step into stories alongside a cast of playful characters including a tiger, dolphin, penguin, dog, and axolotl, each guiding them through the moments of a day as time unfolds across imaginative worlds like castles, cities, and outer space. Each experience concludes with a downloadable Analog Adventure Toolkit, including printable wristwatches and clocks with interactive hands that allow families to continue practicing telling time together.

“As digital screens increasingly shape how children experience time, Timex Tales is our way of bringing the analog life back into everyday moments,” said Shari Fabiani, Chief Marketing Officer, Timex Group. “By blending whimsical storytelling, hands-on learning, and purposeful technology, we’re helping families and classrooms make learning to tell time both accessible and joyful.”

Powered by Gemini and built on Google Cloud Run, Timex Tales leverages a scalable, high-performance infrastructure to deliver seamless, real-time personalization based on family input. The technology allows each child to become the hero of their own time-learning adventure, while maintaining a safe, family-focused experience.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Timex on an experience that shows how generative AI can support family learning in a safe, intuitive, and meaningful way,” said Paul Tepfenhart, Director, Global Retail Strategy & Solutions, Google Cloud. “With Google Gemini, Timex Tales helps children build an essential life skill and is a powerful example of how technology can strengthen, not replace, even the most analog traditions.”

Timex Tales reimagines how families connect with time, offering a memorable and modern way for the next generation to build lasting confidence with analog time-telling.

Timex Tales is available now at timextales.timex.com.

2Gether-International and Making Space Mark Completion of Truist Foundation-Supported Workforce Development Program

Published

on

By

Partnership expanded Disability-inclusive workforce development and created new pathways to economic mobility across the Southeast.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — 2Gether-International (2GI), a global organization and network unlocking the potential of Founders with Disabilities, and Making Space, a talent acquisition and learning platform that supports Disabled professionals, today announced the successful completion of A Comprehensive Workforce Development Strategy for Disabled Professionals, supported by a grant from Truist Foundation.

“Economic mobility is built when people have the tools, guidance and community they need to pursue their goals,” said Namrata Yadav, chief culture and philanthropy officer at Truist.

Building on Making Space’s original flagship Ascend program, this initiative expanded workforce development opportunities for Disabled professionals across the Southeastern United States, combining peer cohort learning, 1:1 mentorship, employer engagement and AI-powered career navigation tools with wraparound supports including financial literacy, ABLE account education, benefits counseling and employer training.

The program delivered measurable results, including 70 Disabled professionals placed in executive-track apprenticeship opportunities. The program also helped participants create ABLE accounts and enabled participants to access other benefits programs.

“Truist Foundation’s grant represented more than a program expansion. It showed that multiple institutions are investing in a Disability-led model of workforce development, validating Disability as a competitive advantage in business,” said Diego Mariscal, CEO and Founder of 2Gether-International. “The results of this program demonstrate what happens when Disabled professionals have access to community, mentorship, technology and the financial support they need to pursue meaningful careers and economic mobility.”

Building a More Comprehensive Workforce Pipeline:

2GI and Making Space’s workforce development program was designed specifically by and for Disabled professionals, addressing structural barriers to employment while equipping participants with the skills, confidence and resources needed to advance their careers.

Key outcomes include:

70 professionals placed in executive-track apprenticeship opportunities.17 participants secured full-time, competitive employment.6 participants pursued freelance or contract work, increasing their income.10 participants created ABLE accounts to strengthen their financial security.12 participants accessed other benefits programs.20% increase in cohort-wide confidence in requesting workplace accommodations and self-advocating during the hiring process and once employed.

With 85% of beneficiaries from low-to-moderate-income backgrounds, the strategy directly aligned with Truist Foundation’s commitment to Building Career Pathways to Economic Mobility while demonstrating the scalability of Disability-inclusive workforce development.

“Economic mobility is built when people have the tools, guidance and community they need to pursue their goals,” said Namrata Yadav, chief culture and philanthropy officer at Truist. “This work demonstrates the power of creating spaces where professionals with Disabilities can build skills, connect with mentors and see new possibilities for their future. The outcomes reflect not only professional success, but our purpose in action: people being seen, supported and empowered to thrive.”

“The success and the impact we’ve seen across the program is incredible,” said Keely Cat-Wells, Founder and CEO of Making Space and a 2GI alumnus. “The support from Truist Foundation reflects what is possible when Disabled Professionals are recognized, valued and equipped with the resources and support they need to lead at every level of industry.”

Expanding opportunities for Professionals with Disabilities remains crucial. 1 in 4 Americans (25%) live with a Disability, but the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows that only 22.5% of Americans with Disabilities were employed, compared to 65.8% of those without Disabilities, contributing to $163 billion in lost annual U.S. tax revenue due to underemployment. In 2022, Diversity VC surveyed 200+ U.S. funds representing $31.8 billion in AUM; while disability was included as a category, zero funds reported allocating capital to disabled founders.

The successful 2026 completion builds on the original Ascend program, which delivered a 123x return on investment and a $1.1 million average lifetime earnings increase per participant. Together, the programs are real world evidence for how peer support, skills development, employer engagement and wraparound resources can create more equitable pathways to economic opportunity for Disabled professionals.

About 2Gether-International (2GI):

2Gether-International (2GI) is a global organization and network unlocking the potential of founders with Disabilities. 2GI turns Disability-led innovation into an engine for growth across entrepreneurship, capital, and workforce systems. As the world’s largest startup accelerator run by and for entrepreneurs with Disabilities, 2GI is redefining Disability as a competitive advantage in business. 2GI has supported over 1,400 startups, helping them raise over 84 million dollars in investment, revenue, and acquisitions.

Real Estate Expert Ann Jones Outlines What to Address Before Listing a Florida Property in HelloNation

Published

on

By

The article explains how reviewing repairs, records, disclosures, and inspection concerns can help sellers prepare before putting a home on the market.

MARIANNA, Fla., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should Florida homeowners address before listing a property?

HelloNation answers that question in an article featuring insights from Real Estate Expert Ann Jones of Florida Showcase Realty, LLC in Marianna, FL.

The article explains that Florida home sellers can benefit from reviewing their property before photos, showings, and buyer visits begin. Preparing a home for sale early gives owners time to identify concerns, organize records, and determine which repairs may deserve attention.

According to the article, sellers can begin with everyday maintenance issues such as leaking faucets, damaged flooring, broken appliances, and sticking doors. Although these problems may seem minor, buyers could view them as signs that other maintenance has been postponed.

The HelloNation article also recommends reviewing major systems, including the roof, plumbing, electrical system, and air conditioning. Florida weather can expose these systems to heat, humidity, heavy rain, and storms. Real Estate Expert Ann Jones provides insights for the article as it describes how understanding a home’s condition can support preparing a home for sale.

Not every concern requires a repair before a home sale. The article notes that some repairs may improve presentation or prevent a simple maintenance issue from becoming a negotiation point. Other repairs may cost more than they are likely to add to the property’s market value.

The article explains that Florida home sellers should also gather available records involving previous repairs, renovations, insurance claims, permits, warranties, and major system replacements. Organized records can help sellers answer buyer questions more accurately during a home sale.

Seller disclosure requirements are another important consideration. The article notes that known defects materially affecting property value and not readily observable may create disclosure obligations. Sellers with questions about seller disclosure requirements should discuss their circumstances with qualified real estate or legal professionals.

Moisture concerns also deserve attention when preparing a home for sale in Florida. The article recommends reviewing known histories involving roof leaks, plumbing leaks, drainage problems, flooding, or water damage. Stains, damaged drywall, unusual odors, and deteriorated materials may indicate issues requiring further evaluation.

A home inspection may identify additional maintenance concerns after a buyer submits an offer. Inspectors typically review visible and accessible portions of roofing, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC equipment, structural components, and other areas. Considering what a home inspection may uncover before listing a property can give sellers more time to investigate potential concerns.

The article also encourages Florida home sellers to review presentation and curb appeal. Cleaning, reducing clutter, correcting smaller maintenance issues, and addressing basic exterior concerns can help buyers evaluate the property’s condition more clearly.

Insurance questions can arise during a home sale as well. Buyers may request information about roof age, storm improvements, previous claims, or other characteristics affecting insurance. The article explains that gathering accurate records beforehand can help sellers respond without relying on estimates or memory.

Real Estate Expert Ann Jones provides insights as the article emphasizes the value of early preparation. Sellers who understand property concerns, seller disclosure requirements, and issues that could emerge during a home inspection may have more time to consider their options before negotiations and closing deadlines begin.

What Should Florida Home Sellers Address Before Listing Their Property? features insights from Ann Jones, Real Estate Expert of Marianna, FL, in HelloNation.
