Compared to the third quarter of 2010, this represents a revenue increase of 38.8%. At the same time, gross profit increased by 16.6% while EBIT decreased by 90.7%. Based on the preliminary results for Q3, ZhongDe's revenues in the first nine moths of 2011 amounted to 13.4 million Euro, decreasing by 31.5% compared to the first nine months of 2010. EBIT decreased, too, and total -3.7 million Euro compared to -1.2 million Euro in the first nine months of 2010. Even though the preliminary operating result is worse than expected, ZhongDe's net cash position of around 100 million Euro as at 30 September 2011 still remains on a high level. This strong cash position ensures the flexibility of ZhongDe in the fields of BOT investment and project finance. The net loss in the third quarter, was mainly caused by further delays in the completion process of energy-from-waste plants under construction. ZhongDe expects three or four projects under construction to be completed in 2012. Accordingly, ZhongDe now expects revenues and net result for the full year 2011 to be slightly below previous year's benchmark. In line with the delays, the Company anticipates the affected projects to generate their contribution to the Company's income in the course of 2012.
