Great research work as always @nequalsone!

After the Q2 business update, I thought it was likely that Hunan and Zhejiang would be the locations of the provincial MABR assembly plants (Liaoning was unexpected!). I had seen an article on the 11th of June about the Hunan provincial research party visiting the Xielingang MABR plant. Once the leaders of the Hunan Provincial Government, Housing and Construction Bureau and Municipal Finance Bureau get together at a site, you know that some big money is going to start flowing. The testing and endorsement by the Yiyang City Government of MABR would play a big part of wider adoption across Hunan Province. The partnership with Hunan Kaitian cannot be underestimated, as they are a state owned Fortune Global 500 company and are on the boards on many of the main environmental reform policy groups in China.

Nice to see confirmation that this relationship is continuing to progress and that we may see an assembly factory in Yiyang City by 2020.

I love trying to fill in the pieces of the puzzle, so here is my summary of the story of Fluence in Hunan with Hunan Kaitian and the Yiyang City Government so far.

Aerospace Kaitian Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. is a holding subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. China Aerospace Science and Technology is a state-owned large-scale high-tech enterprise directly under the central government. It is a Fortune 500 company with several national key laboratories, technology innovation centers and results incubation centers. Focusing on the development concept of “big defense and big security”, China Aerospace Science and Technology actively responds to the call of the country's green development and enters the environmental protection industry, making Aerospace Kaitian Environmental Protection a leading company in the industry. Fortune Global 500 2019 Rank is 322 (For comparison, Rio Tinto is 303, Commonwealth Bank is 373, ANZ is 457. Veolia is 407).

Hunan Province has a population of approximately 67.4 million.
Yiyang City has a population of approximately 4.3 million.

June Appendix 4C Business Update

We continue to see tremendous interest in MABR-based products as the market recognises the lower electricity consumption and operating costs of these units. Given the unique operating cost advantages of MABR, we are in various stages of negotiations with several Chinese partners and the respective provincial governmentsto establish final assembly capacity within theirprovinces in exchange for multi-year order commitments. This would require minimal investment by Fluence and would enhance Smart Product Solutions revenue visibility.Given our large pipeline of MABR opportunities(including these provincial opportunities),we are ramping moduleproduction to meet demand. We currently have oneline installed in our Chinese facility and are moving to full three-shift operations for this one line by year-end.

Fluence Q2 Investor Business Update Conference Call

What gives us so much confidence that MABR sales will materialize the way we expectis our core China market, which represents the bulk of our MABR revenue. We are receiving strong indications of near-term orders from existing customers, and we areworking on several new multi-year agreements. These multi-year contracts would be executed with our channel partners and in coordination with provincial governments whileestablishing final assembly capacityfor ASPIRAL systemswithin therespective province. Our MABR modules would still be manufactured exclusivelyby usin our Changzhou facility and then transported to the provincial assembly facility. The assembly capacity is extremely inexpensive, so this would not require meaningful capexandcould potentially lower transportation costsand logisticsby performing final assembly of our ASPIRAL solutions closer to the end user installation site. Additionally, outside of China, we are seeing growing interest in MABR, as well.

As a result of this strong demand, we are ramping production of modules in our Changzhou facilityand expect to reach its full capacity of three-shift operations for one line of manufacturing by year end. MABR isa fast turn business, so we are building inventory to meet visible near-term demand.
