The Company focuses on the Chinese market, which is already the
world’s second largest energy consumer and experiencing energy
demand forecast to double over the next five years. CGYV built Chi-
na’s first sulfuric acid energy recovery system and retrofitted that
country’s largest sulfuric acid manufacturing facility - Two Lions
Fine Chemical Company – with its largest-ever recovery system.
The installed system has 54 megawatts (MW) of power generation
capacity sourced from recovered heat energy. The Company has
also built energy recovery systems in Egypt, Turkey, Korea, Paki-
stan, Vietnam and Malaysia. CGYV is currently involved in over
100 assorted energy recovery system projects in China and interna-
tionally. Total value of contracts and orders completed during 2007
and 2008 exceeds $40 million and CGYV has already secured new
orders valued at approximately $19 million for 2009.
The total project cost is estimated at RMB95 million (approximately $13.9 million), of which RMB79 million
(approximately $11.6 million) represents the estimated cost of the alkali recovery system CGYV will design and
manufacture. The system will process some 1,200 tons of toxic residual black liquid generated from pulp-making
and purify this discharge. This system is expected to generate 145 tons of steam per hour, equivalent to nearly 12
MW of heat energy generation capacity.
Investment Highlights
The Company designs, manufactures and installs highly-customized systems that recover up to 90% of waste
energy from inefficient industrial facilities while also eliminating harmful emissions. CGYV targets industries
in which customers achieve payback on invested capital within one to three years. While a majority of the waste
heat recovery systems CGYV has installed to-date have been for chemical manufacturing plants, the Company
has also installed systems for steel manufacturers, cement makers, paper mills, coke processors, refineries (in-
cluding Ethanol refineries), and petro-chemical processors. CGYV has installed more than 100 energy recovery
systems in China and internationally.
Booming economic growth and rapid industrialization has spurred electricity demand in China. At year-end
2007, China’s total installed generating capacity was 713 gigawatts (GW), up 14% from the prior year-end. Ac-
cording to the International Energy Agency, China must add 1,300 GW of new electricity generating capacity,
more than the current total installed U.S. capacity, to meet its growing energy demands over the next few years.
Due to the expansion of energy-intensive sectors such as steel, cement, and chemicals, China’s energy consump-
tion is growing faster than its domestic GDP, resulting in shortages of electricity and coal in over 20 of the coun-
try’s 32 provinces. Energy recovery systems offer a cost-effective solution for rising energy demand. According
to the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency, energy recovery systems could gener-
ate nearly 200 GW of new power in the U.S. alone. The European Union is also committed to energy recovery
systems, with 104 GW of installed capacity; Germany and Italy have the most installed capacity, at 16 GW and
13 GW, respectively.
ar power, but with the added benefit of reduced greenhouse gas emissions. CGYV’s energy recovery technology
could reduce the cost of electricity to $6 per megawatt hour (MWh), compared to costs for coal-produced electric-
ity at $48 per MWh.
Because CGYV’s technology generates power at a fraction of the cost of other technologies, customers realize a
rapid return on invested capital. The Company’s energy recovery systems reduce fuel consumption and costs by
potentially tripling the useable energy extracted from a given amount of fuel, allowing users to slash energy ex-
penditures by as much as 2/3rds.
The Company reported revenue of approximately $16 million for the first nine months of 2008, which is 112%
more than for the same period last year. CGYV’s revenue growth reflects increased contract volume and higher
revenues per contract. During the first nine months of 2008, CGYV completed 60 contracts with revenues per con-
tract averaging $255,377. This compares to 36 completed contracts and revenues per contract averaging $209,403
for the same period of 2007.
The Company reported strong growth in contract volume during 2008 and is optimistic regarding full-year 2008
and 2009 results. The total value of contracts and orders completed during 2007 and 2008 exceeded $40 million
and CGYV has already secured orders valued at approximately $19 million for 2009.
We believe CYGC’s sales will continue to grow, despite the sluggish global economic outlook, since the Company
has already secured orders for future periods and is uniquely well-positioned with the engineering skills neces-
sary to design, build and install large energy recovery systems. In addition, the Company is pursuing sales op-
portunities in new high-growth segments such as bio-mass.
The Company significantly improved gross margins in 2008 by expanding sales and gradually increasing contract
prices to offset rising raw material costs. Operating and net margins gains were achieved by improving operating
efficiency and increasing the number of higher-margin licensing and design service contracts. We anticipate net
income will continue to climb in 2009 as a result of sales growth, efficiency gains and expanded sales of higher-
margin services.
The Company has attracted the attention of well-known venture capitalists. Roger Ballentine, a Venture Part-
ner with ArborView Capital and the former Chairman of the White House Climate Change Task Force under
President Clinton, serves on CGYV’s Board of Directors. eBay senior executive Steve Westley through his Westley
Group is an investor in the Company.
The Company designs, manufactures and installs highly-customized waste heat energy recovery systems that
recover up to 90% of the energy wasted by inefficient industrial facilities and reduce harmful emissions. CYGC
is targeting industries in which customers can achieve a payback on their invested capital within one to three
years. While most of the waste heat recovery systems CGYV has installed to-date have been for chemical manu-
facturing in China, the Company has also deployed systems in steel manufacturing and cement plants, paper
mills, coke processing facilities, refineries (including Ethanol refineries), and petro-chemical plants. CGYV has
an installed base of over 100 energy recovery systems.
The Company operates through its Chinese subsidiary, HAIE Hi-tech Engineering Company, Limited (Hi-tech),
which is principally engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing, licensing, implementing and servicing
of industrial energy recovery systems. Hi-tech carries out its operations mainly through Shanghai Hai Lu Kun
Lun Hi-tech Engineering Co., Ltd. with which Hi-tech has a contractual relationship. This arrangement is due
to China’s restrictions on foreign investments and ownership in Chinese businesses. In December 2008, CGYV
established a new operating subsidiary and R&D center, CER Energy Recovery Co., Ltd. (CER Shanghai), stra-
tegically located in Shanghai’s Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, one of China’s key national technology zones. CER
Shanghai is one of several CGYV strategic initiatives for expanding its operations to meet market demand in
China and abroad.
Generally, the Company provides engineering, procurement and construction services and is involved in the
end-to-end process, from design and development through engineering, manufacturing and installation. CGYV
transports the manufactured system in parts by truck, rail or water to the customer’s facility where the system
is assembled and installed. CGYV uses equipment manufactured in Germany and high quality raw materials to
manufacture its energy recovery systems. Customers may also unbundle CGYV’s services to purchase specific
services such as design and engineering blueprints.
The Company invests heavily in R&D and owns a portfolio of core Chinese patents on various components of its
energy recovery system. Over 150 experienced, specialized engineers employed by CGYV spend between 30%
and 40% of their time on research and development. The Company invested about 4% of sales in R&D during
2006 and 2007 and remains committed to ongoing investments in enhancing its technology and products.
Corporate strategy
CGYV’s goal is to become an international leader in the multi-billion worldwide market for energy recovery sys-
tems. This will be achieved by:
• Capitalizing on changing environmental regulations and increasing demand for clean energy alternatives
around the world;
• Investing the resources necessary to develop leading-edge technologies that reduce harmful emissions and
enable customers to realize increased margins and a reduced energy footprint;
• Maintaining a focus on customer satisfaction, innovation, and corporate entrepreneurship;
• Expanding its international presence to meet the demand for clean, low cost alternative sources of energy;
• Developing a network of international partners with geographic expertise;
• Generating stable, predictable, growing cash flows to the shareholders.
The Company has defined several near-term objectives to be achieved in three sequential stages:
Phase I
• Continue to fulfill current orders; and
• Establish long-term strategic purchasing agreements with key suppliers.
Phase II
• Start construction of manufacturing facility to increase capacity, margins and efficiency;
• Purchase specialized equipment to drive efficiencies;
• Grow R&D efforts to expand into new industrial sectors such as coke refining and cement; and
• Add international sales and marketing team focused on design and licensing.
Phase III
• Construct second manufacturing facility to meet future demand;
• Add engineering and design team to further expand its EPC business; and
• Increase marketing efforts in Europe and United States.
Technology
Leveraging waste heat gas recovery system technology to re-capture and use energy wasted in flue gas emissions
increases energy efficiency and reduces costs. Energy recovery also captures the majority of carbon emissions and
other harmful pollutants that would otherwise be released into the environment.
The figure below highlights opportunities in the cycle for energy savings.
Understanding how energy recovery systems work is explained in example below which looks at the sulfuric
acid production process:
Traditional Sulfuric Acid Production Process: The production of sulfuric acid involves highly exothermic chemical
reactions; most of the heat is released into the atmosphere through cooling towers. Without the use of an energy
recovery system, one ton of sulfuric acid will produce one ton of steam.

Sulfuric Acid Production Process with CGYV’s Technologies: The addition of an energy recovery system increases ef-
ficiency so that one ton of sulfuric acid can produce as much as 1.65 tons of steam; the recovery system captures
94% of the heat that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.

CGYV’s technology generates power at a fraction of the cost of other clean energy technologies, produces a faster
payback on invested capital, and substantially boosts internal rate of return (IRR).. The Company’s energy recov-
ery systems save fuel and energy costs by potentially tripling useable energy extracted from a given amount of
fuel, allowing users to slash energy expenditures by as much as 2/3rds.
• Reduced pollution. Toxic combustible wastes such as carbon monoxide gas, sour gas, carbon black-off gases and
oil sludge that would be released into the atmosphere through incinerators can be re-captured to recover heat
and reduce environmental pollution.
• Reduced equipment sizes. Waste heat recovery reduces fuel consumption and the volume of flue gases produced.
This enables operators to reduce the size of flue gas handling equipment such as fans, stacks, ducts and burn-
ers.
• Lower auxiliary energy consumption. Since the equipment is smaller, auxiliary energy consumption for fans and
pumps is also reduced.
Industry Outlook
The pace of energy consumption growth is determined by economic and population growth in the world’s devel-
oping countries. With the United Nations predicting the world’s population will grow from 6.4 billion in 2004 to
8.1 billion by 2030, energy demand is also likely to increase substantially over that period. Both population growth
and increasing standards of living in developing countries will contribute to strong growth in energy demand,
expected to average 1.6% per year, or 53% between 2004 and 2030.
Demand for electrical power is projected to nearly double between 2004 and 2030, growing on average 2.6% per
year from 17,408 to 33,750 terawatt-hours. Increased demand is most evident in developing countries where
some two billion people have limited or no access to electricity and addressing their need is a high priority.

At the same time energy demand is growing, modern industrial nations and emerging markets are faced with
the growing challenge of reducing toxic emissions that present serious health risks to national populations, cross
international borders, and damage the environment. Environmental concerns are encouraging governments and
industries to invest in alternative forms of power generation and energy conservation. We believe increasing
emphasis on power generation efficiency and mitigating the environmental impact of its processes will bring
energy recovery systems to the forefront as an eco-friendly solution for improving energy output from current
fossil fuel supplies.
Energy recovery systems represent a large-scale, environmentally friendly and economically feasible form of
power generation. Compared with other alternative power sources such as solar, wind or biomass, energy re-
covery systems are more affordable and already capable of delivering power on the scale necessary for industrial
processes. Energy recovery systems are even cost-competitive with large-scale, conventional power sources such
as coal, fossil fuels and nuclear power, with the added benefit of reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
According to recent studies by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, en-
ergy recovery systems could generate nearly 200 GW of new power, equivalent to approximately 20% of current
U.S. power generation capacity. The European Union is a significant user of energy recovery systems, with 104
GW of installed power generating capacity. Germany and Italy have the greatest installed capacity, at 16 GW and
13 GW, respectively.
The world currently faces fundamental problems with its energy supply due primarily to reliance on fossil fuels.
The economic prosperity of the wealthiest nations in the 2oth century was built on a ready supply of inexpensive
fossil fuel, and developing nations are consuming fossil fuel reserves at an accelerating rate. This will lead to
depletion of the world’s fossil fuel reserves; available supplies of both oil and gas are likely to be effectively ex-
hausted before the end of the 21st century. Only coal reserves are expected to last into the next century.
Fossil fuel combustion hurts the environment by producing carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming.
Efforts to combat global warming through CO2 mitigation are projected to create a $400 billion market oppor-
tunity by 2030. Coal-fired plants represent a huge opportunity for CO2 mitigation since about one-third of CO2
released into the atmosphere is associated with coal combustion from these facilities. Coal consumption is forecast
to increase 50% by 2030 because power plants are substituting coal as a fuel to replace more expensive oil and gas.
Given international concerns regarding global warming and the need for more efficiently utilization of our re-
maining fossil fuels, demand is emerging for technologies that can increase the amount of energy extracted from a
given amount of fuel and also eliminate harmful emissions that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
These technologies, which include CGYV’s energy recovery systems, benefit customers by reducing energy con-
sumption and costs and eliminating harmful emissions.
Booming economic growth and rapid industrialization has spurred demand for electric power in China. The
country’s installed generating capacity increased 20% in 2006 to 622 GW and was estimated at 713 GW in 2007.

China’s energy consumption has been growing faster than national GDP and shortages of electricity and coal have
occurred in 20 of the country’s 32 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. With the rapid moderniza-
tion and industrialization of its economy, China now accounts for over 15% of the world’s energy consumption.
In 2007, China’s energy demand surged in support of 11.4% GDP growth. Total energy consumption increased
7.8%, equivalent to 2.65 billion additional tons of standard coal, while electricity demand rose 14.1% to 326.32 mil-
lion kWh. Thermal power still accounts for the bulk of the energy China’s generates at 83%, followed by 14% from
hydro, 2% from nuclear and less than 0.1% from wind power.
Hydro power
14%
Thermal power
83%
China’s power demand was up 13% year-over-year in 2008. With the shutdown of small thermal power generat-
ing units and the slowdown of investment in power generation, growth in new installed capacity slowed in 2008
to an 11.8% rate.
Over the long-term, China’s power demand is projected to grow 6.6% to 7.0% annually over the next ten years. Sig-
nificant new investments in installed capacity will be required to meet demand. By 2020, total installed generating
capacity is forecast to reach 1,230 GW, which will include 290 GW from hydropower and 70 GW from nuclear and
wind power. While China’s investments in hydropower, wind power and nuclear power are increasing, at present,
investments in coal-fired power generation continue to rank first.
According to the International Energy Agency, China must add 1,300 GW to its electricity-generating capacity to
meet demand, which is more than all of the current installed capacity in the United States. Massive increases in
electric generation capacity will also increase the amount of harmful emissions. China has already surpassed the
U.S. to become the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and the country faces enormous challenges from
pollution. Only 1% of China’s 560 million city dwellers breathe air considered safe by E.U. standards, environmen-
tal pollution has created industrial cities where people rarely see the sun, and birth defects in infants have soared
nearly 40% since 2001. A 2005 report by Chinese environmental experts estimated that premature deaths attribut-
able to air pollution in China were likely to reach 380,000 in 2010 and 550,000 in 2020.
China has set internal goals for 20% improvements in energy efficiency per unit of GDP by 2010. Mayors across
each province are required to develop local plans for achieving this goal against which their future progress will
be measured. Significant new investment in alternative energy and clean technologies, including energy recov-
ery systems will be required to reach this national goal.
China’s use of alternative and renewable energy is expanding rapidly; alternative energy sources already con-
tribute approximately 16% of total electricity generation and 7.5% of primary energy supply. In China, hydro-
power is the dominant renewable energy source, accounting for more than 95% of total electricity from renew-
able energy in 2005. Wind energy accounted for only 1.1% of renewable energy in 2005, but China more than
doubled its wind power capacity the following year by installing 1,347 MW of additional wind energy capacity.
To reduce reliance on coal-fired generation, the Chinese government is stepping up incentives for renewable
energy. The Renewable Energy Law and various incentive policies ranging from tax incentives to subsidies have
been introduced to stimulate investment in renewable energy. NDRC, a macroeconomic management agency
under the State Council, targets sourcing 16% of primary energy from renewable energy by 2020, up from a 7.5%
actual share in 2005. This includes development of 300 GW of hydropower, 30 GW of wind power, 30 GW of bio-
mass power, 1.8 GW of solar photovoltaic systems, and smaller amounts of solar thermal and geothermal power.
Business Insights estimates that realizing this target will require 130 GW of new renewable energy capacity and
investments of as much as $184 billion.
Financial Analysis
CGYV derives revenues from:
• Sales of energy recovery systems. The systems consist mainly of waste heat boilers and other related equip-
ment manufactured according to customers’ specifications;
• Design services. CGYV designs energy recovery systems and other related systems based on a customer’s
requirements. The deliverable consists of engineering drawings;
• Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services. The Company oversees the process from end-to-
end, from design, development and engineering to manufacturing to installation.
CGYV’s quarterly revenues increased in 2008 due to increased sales volume of energy recovery systems and ser-
vices and higher revenues per contract. During the first nine months of 2008, CGYV completed 60 contracts and
realized average revenues per contract of $255,377. This compares to 36 completed contracts and values averaging
$209,403 per contract for the same period in 2007.
We believe the Company’s sales will continue to grow, despite the current global economic slowdown, because
of its rising order backlog and CGYV’s unique position as one of the few industry participants with the necessary
design and engineering expertise to build larger energy recovery systems.

Operating profit (29,675) 763,147 81.5% (155,886) 1,239,638 n/m
The Company significantly improved its gross margins in 2008 through sales growth, increasing contract prices
and expanded offerings of higher-margin design services. Management expects steel and other raw materials
prices will slightly decline or remain stable in 2009, allowing CGYV to stabilize gross margins at current levels.
Increased operating and net margins were attributable to more completed contracts, improved operating effi-
ciency and increased sales of higher-margin licensing and design service contracts.
The Company has a strong balance sheet, with cash and equivalents exceeding $6.9 million. During the first nine
months of 2008, cash balances increased due to the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on April 15,
2008 which generated net proceeds of $6,619,278. Operations provided net cash flow of $104,846 while investing
activities consumed $194,188, consisting mainly of equipment purchases.

On January 30, 2008, CGYV borrowed $380,380 for working capital purposes from Shenzhen Development Bank,
Shanghai Branch, Baoshan Sub-branch. The loan agreement provides for monthly interest payments at an an-
nual interest rate of 7.47% and matures in January 2009.
Valuation
Outlook
With the world’s sharply increased interest in more efficient energy use and cleaner emissions, we anticipate
record revenues for CGYV in 2008 and an upward sales trend continuing in 2009.
The Company has already reported revenues of approximately $16 million for the first nine months of 2008,
which is 112% more than the same period of 2007. CGYV has also improved margins and turned profitable in
2008. The total value of contracts and orders completed in 2007 and 2008 exceeds $40 million and CGYV has
already secured new orders valued at $19 million for 2009.
We forecast CGYV’s revenues will climb to a $22 million range in 2008 and to $37 million in 2009 and project net
income will rise to $1.5 million in 2008 and $3.6 million in 2009.

Comparative analysis
We based our valuation on comparative analysis, selecting companies that provide waste heat recovery construc-
tion and engineering services to the oil and gas, oil refining, chemical/petrochemical, pharmaceutical, environ-
mental, power generation, and power plant industries worldwide.
Peer comparison
China Energy Recovery, Inc. CGYV 1.85 53 33.82 16.29 2.28 1.43
The peer group companies currently trade at forward Price/Sales multiples of only 0.44 times revenues mainly
due to tough market conditions and declining oil prices, which have temporarily made energy efficiency projects
less attractive. Over the long run, however, strong demand for energy and scarcity of fossil fuels will drive fuel
prices higher and spur investment in energy efficiency projects.
We believe CGYV warrants a premium to the peer group because of its successful record of project completions,
growing backlog and improving profitability. We consider Energy Recovery, Inc. to be the Company’s closest peer
and think CGYV deserves a comparable forward Price/Sales multiple.
We are initiating coverage of CGYV with a Speculative Buy Rating and a $4.00 price target, based on a 3.0 times
forward Price/Sales multiple and our $37.3 million 2009 revenue estimate. We think CGYV is attractively posi-
tioned in a high-growth market and has strong appreciation potential. However, we strongly advise prospective
investors to consider the risk factors mentioned below before investing, since the Company has a limited track
record and must overcome many challenges in achieving its growth goals.
Risk Factors
The Company’s limited operating history and the unpredictable growth of the emerging energy recovery indus-
try make it difficult to evaluate CGYV’s business prospects. The risks and difficulties that the Company is fac-
ing include challenges in accurate financial planning and uncertainties resulting from having relatively limited
information on which to evaluate CGYV’s business strategies as compared to companies with longer operating
histories.
The Company is in the process of significantly expanding its business to meet increasing demand for energy
recovery products and services and capture new market opportunities. As CGYV grows, it must improve its
operating and financial systems, procedures and controls, increase manufacturing capacity and output, and ex-
pand, train and manage a growing employee base. To fund growth, CGYV must have sufficient internal sources
of liquidity and access to funding from external sources.
The Company currently sells most of its energy recovery systems to companies in the chemical or paper manu-
facturing sectors. In 2007, approximately 97% and 3% of sales were derived from the chemical and paper manu-
facturing sectors, respectively. Reduced demand for CGYV’s systems from these manufacturing segments, ad-
vances in industry manufacturing processes and/or failure to successfully implement its systems for one or more
customers within these sectors may adversely affect the Company’s reputation and sales.
Marketing, distribution and sales of its products expose the Company to a number of risks, including: increased
costs associated with maintaining marketing efforts in various countries; marketing campaigns that are either in-
effective or negatively perceived in some countries or industry sectors; difficulty and cost relating to compliance
with differing commercial and legal requirements in the international markets where CGYV operates; inability
to obtain, maintain or enforce intellectual property rights; and trade barriers such as export requirements, tariffs,
taxes and other restrictions and expenses, which could increase product costs and make the Company’s offering
less competitive in some countries.
A portion of the Company’s sales is denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder in Renminbi and Euros,
while a substantial portion of costs and expenses is denominated in U.S. dollars and Renminbi, with the remain-
der in Euros. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on CGYV’s financial
condition and results of operations.
