Then I would like to share some highlights and breakthrough the Company made in the first half of fiscal year 2022:
IA business continued its strong growth momentum with larger market shares. The Company keeps investment in research and development, aiming at users’ challenges, carries out technological innovation, and strives to meet the needs of users. In the first half of fiscal year 2022, for example, Hollysys launched a new product—Industrial Optical Bus Control System (“OCS”), and achieved a number of contract breakthroughs. The application of the technology can help customers greatly reduce project cost, cut construction period and improve maintenance efficiency. This not only created huge economic benefits for customers, but also saved lots of non-ferrous copper for the society and fulfilled goals of energy saving and emission reduction. The smooth implementation of the projects also creates conditions for the full promotion of OCS in 2022. At the same time, Hollysys launched a fully self-controllable Distributed Control System (“DCS”) to meet the increasing requirements of customers on reliability and security. In the first half of fiscal year 2022, such updated DCS system has been applied successfully in the project of 600MW power unit, the pipage of refined oil product, etc.
In the field of chemical and petrochemical industry, the Company has maintained its fast pace, which proves that its strategy of “vigorously developing chemical and petrochemical industry” is effective. In the first half of the fiscal year 2022, we gained a number of breakthrough projects, including signing a large scale oil refining project in Hainan. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, the Company has accumulated 38 offshore platform project orders, ranking first among domestic suppliers.
In our RTA business, we are excited about winning some key contracts. For example, we signed contracts to provide Automatic Train Protection (“ATP”) with automatic train operation function to the Pearl River Delta region and the contract to provide Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”) system to Chengdu rail transit Line 30 Phase I. At the same time, the Company continues to offer various after-sales services, including software upgrading, spare parts sales, and maintenance and replacement services for high speed rail. Especially, in Hong Kong, we successfully entered into the second three-year maintenance contract with Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited. In project delivery, several lines that we participated in went into operation, such as our track circuit which officially went into service, representing the first application of Hollysys track circuit on C2 high speed rail. Also, the first application of Hollysys subway signaling system in Kunming Changshui Airport Express went into full operation smoothly. In addition to boosting and exploring diversified development opportunities, the Company is also continuously promoting the incubation of innovative businesses. In the first half of the fiscal year 2022, both highway business and vocational education business have made remarkable progress. For example, in the field of vocational education, a comprehensive project of high-speed railway operation control drill field was signed with a railway vocational and technical college. In the field of highway, we signed the intelligent platform project of tunnel inspection and highway operation decision.
For overseas business, Thomson Line II in Singapore that the Company provided SCADA has been successfully put into operation. Under the threat of COVID-19, Hollysys project team worked unitedly to achieve the successful delivery of the project while ensuring personal safety and health, and won a very challenging and valuable award of the “Engineering Safety Excellence Award” 2021 from the Land Transport Authority of Singapore. Overall speaking, COVID-19 remains a challenge to the business unit of mechanical and electrical solutions and other overseas business. We will keep monitoring the impact of COVID-19, and risk control remains our key focus.
With our clear strategies, contentious dedication and experienced loyal expertise, we believe that we will continue to create greater value for our clients and shareholders.”
