Hanwei Energy Services Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial and Operational Results

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 31, 2011) - Hanwei Energy Services Corp. (TSX:HE) ("Hanwei" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 (the "Reporting Period"). All amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise noted.

Financial Highlights

For the three months ended June 30, 2011:

• Revenue was $4.3 million, an increase of 31% over the comparable period in 2010. The increase was driven by continued improvements in both domestic and international markets for the Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic ("FRP") pipe business.

• Net loss reduced to $1.4 million as compared to a loss of $5.0 million for the comparable period in 2010. The reduction in net loss is primarily due to a significant reduction in G&A expenses achieved through the elimination of costs associated with the wind power business, and the Company's continued focus on cost control.

• Basic and diluted loss per share of $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 (compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.08 for the same period of 2010).
