Mr. Shi Shuo, the chief executive and operations officer of WiMi, commented, “In 2020, we made three major leaps forward. First, after our successful initial public offering in April 2020, we overcame the impact of COVID-19 in the first half of the year and achieved a robust growth in our revenues in the second half of 2020. As a result, our total revenues in 2020 grew by 140% year-over- year to RMB766.0 million (US$117.4 million). In particular, after we received investment from well-known investment institutions in both the US and Asia, including a company affiliated with Weibo Corporation (NASDAQ: WB),we actively expanded our holographic AR business scope and made meaningful progress in the semiconductor industry.”

“Secondly, we have increased our investment in the research and development of holographic AR technology applications, mainly in the specialized fields of automobile AR holographic HUD, 3D holographic pulse LiDAR, head-mounted light field holographic devices, holographic semiconductors, holographic cloud software, holographic automobile navigation, and others. These fields cover multiple segments of holographic AR technologies from holographic automobile AR technology, 3D holographic pulse LiDAR technology, holographic visual semiconductor technology, holographic software development, holographic AR Advertising technology, holographic AR entertainment technology, holographic ARSDK payment, interactive holographic communication and many other aspects of holographic AR technology. Our research and development expenses in 2020 increased significantly, by 362.8% year -over -year to RMB85.0 million, as we worked to enhance our competitiveness and maintain our technology leadership position in the holographic AR industry.”

“Thirdly, we have established a huge technology research and development ecosystem in the holographic AR industry through investment and mergers and acquisitions. According to Frost & Sullivan’s industry report, the market size of the global holographic AR market will grow rapidly. From 2020 to 2025, the annual growth rate of the market size of AR software & content and AR hardware is expected to be 68.7% and 67.9%, respectively. As a listed company in the holographic AR industry, we have a high global vision. In 2020, through investment in and acquisition of many R&D companies in the holographic AR industry, we have formed a powerful holographic AR technology research and development ecosystem, and are in the process of building a holographic AR industry value chain with great potential for expansion.”

COSTA MESA, Calif., April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: CETY), announced today that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ashfield Ag Resources to co-develop its initial biomass renewable energy processing facility using the revolutionary high temperature ablative fast pyrolysis reactor (HTAP Biomass Reactor). Located in Massachusetts, this project will convert forest biomass waste products to renewably generated electricity and BioChar fertilizer. The parties agreed in principle to the critical components which are expected to annually deliver up to 14,600 MWh of renewable electricity and 1,500 tons of BioChar by Q1 2022.

The MOU, which is subject to the execution of definitive agreements, provides the CETY project with rights to feedstock, site control, approved grid interconnection and Power Purchase Agreement revenues. CETY management forecasts up to a 35% NPV (over 10yr horizon) on the $15,000,000 project and internal rates of return of up to 12%. With a longer time horizon, the NPV/IRR are even bigger showing the substantial value CETY will lock in for future years.

CETY’s existing ORC business will also capitalize on each Biomass project with the opportunity to deliver Heat Recovery Solutions. Such synergies increase energy value by 12% to 14% for the Biomass project. CETY’s portfolio of Biomass projects will thus also drive top line and bottom line growth elsewhere in the company creating long term predictable income streams with high IRR cash flows.

More importantly, it provides a footprint for future projects utilizing HTAP Biomass Reactor technology in the rapidly growing biomass renewable energy sector. The HTAP Biomass Reactor is a unique and proprietary process that transforms organic waste by using ultra-high temperatures and produces renewable electrical power, BioChar fertilizer and high heating value fuel gas in addition to other commercially valuable chemicals.

CETY management believes it can secure additional biomass resources to deliver additional projects ten times larger in the future. The biomass renewable energy project will be operated from within a newly formed company and is expected to be funded through a special purpose vehicle with equity and debt secured by the project’s revenues.

Kam Mahdi, CEO of CETY, stated “This project is the first of four anticipated renewable biomass projects, and is expected to serve as a model for developing new projects to capture market share in this highly profitable and growing industry. By vertically integrating the biomass projects into our business, we are also able to grow our heat recovery business horizontally. We hope that our future projects will be large by orders of magnitude and have a profound impact on the environment while bringing us new sources of income.  Our new renewable energy biomass projects are expected to further expand our goal of becoming a complete solution for industrial and municipal scale projects in the strategic markets we are targeting.

By offering additional renewable energy solutions with near-zero emissions, zero solid waste residue, and better waste sourcing capabilities, we firmly believe that renewable energy biomass projects will establish our reputation as a viable and attractive renewable biomass energy solution while generating a new stream of revenues and profits for our company”.

Negative fixed income returns offset solid equity gains

TORONTO, April 29, 2021 /CNW/ – Amidst an improved economic outlook – partially attributable to early phase vaccine rollouts and ongoing government support – Canadian DB pension plans posted a -0.2% median return in Q1 2021, according to the RBC Investor & Treasury Services All Plan Universe. The loss came on the heels of a Q4 2020 return of 5.4% and an annual 2020 return of 9.2%.

As projections pointed to higher expected growth, investors readied themselves for mounting inflationary pressure, causing bond yields to move up sharply and fixed income securities to lose ground. Fixed income assets held by pension plans posted a median return of -7.1% in Q1 2021, compared to 1.1% in Q4 2020. The FTSE TMX Universe Canadian Bond Index returned -5.0%, with interest-rate-sensitive longer-dated bonds (FTSE TMX Long Term index -10.7%) underperforming their shorter-dated bond counterparts (FTSE Short Term index -0.6%).

Global equity markets continued to rally and hit new highs during this time period. For the second consecutive quarter, value stocks – pro-cyclical in nature – outperformed growth stocks (MSCI World Value 8.1% versus MSCI World Growth -1.1%). Sectors that were hit hard by the pandemic continued to recover on account of reopening optimism.

Canadian DB plans’ foreign equities returned a modest 3.7% in Q1 2021, as a strengthening loonie trimmed some of the local currency returns for unhedged plans. In comparison, the MSCI World index returned 3.5% over the quarter.

Canadian equities benefitted from their significant exposure to cyclical sectors and delivered solid gains in Q1, posting 8.6%. The TSX Composite index posted an 8.1% gain, led by the energy (+20.3%) and financials (+13.9%) sectors.

“We have seen the markets price in a very optimistic economic scenario based on forecasts of strong GDP growth, the gradual ramping up of the vaccine supply and fiscal and monetary stimulus,” said David Linds, Managing Director and Head of Asset Servicing, Canada, RBC Investor & Treasury Services. “However, plan sponsors should continue to be on guard for risk factors such as the emergence of potent Covid-19 variants and supply constraints in a highly competitive global vaccine market.”
