Company Profile

Accel Energy AG is a mineral oil company that offers refinery, mineral oil and mineral oil-based value added products. The company has been successfully operating in China since 1985 and are considered as one of the leading companies with regard to business development. Accel Energy is active all over China with a distribution network comprising partnerships and joint ventures. Because of long-term order commitments we work in a customer-oriented way with a strong focus on team work and sound management. In 2005 Accel Energy AG generated revenues of more than US$ 58‘500‘000 by selling mineral oil products. The company obtains crude oil from various sources on order to refine and subsequently sell it as a premium product.


China Petroleum Industry
China's oil consumption is second only to the US and demand is expected to grow to equal the US by the mid 2020's. China is challenged severely by the current high oil prices as it saw its own supplies decline. Increased demand and prices and declining resources have added pressure and now shale oil represents an important, economically viable source for the increasing energy needs of China as it undergoes transformation into an economic leader. The China government will be spending $970 billion USD to build an infrastructure for petroleum and natural gas throughout the country . Present production in millions of tons are: gasoline 19.62, diesel 37.74, kerosene 5.06, chemical light oil 15.04, lube oil 0.91, LPG 5.11, fuel oil 4.5, asphalt 1.13 and petroleum coke 3.44, with an estimated grow rate of 40% by 2010.

Oil Refining

Accel Energy operates from a refinery with a joint venture partner, a large petro chemical corporation in China. The refinery is not operating at 100% capacity. Current production rates are approximately 1,100,000 metric tons of petroleum products, chemicals, and asphalt a year. This refinery has a capacity of 3 million metric tons of crude oil production annually and Accel Energy plans to grow its production rate to achieve revenues of almost $100 million by 2008 in this facility. Some of the products that Accel energy currently produces are:

*Chemicals
*Plastics
*Gasoline
*Asphalt
*Heating fuel
*Pharmaceuticals
*Petroleum coke
*Diesel
*Kerosene
*Manufacturing fuel


Oil Retort

As the second part of its ambitious initiatives, Accel Energy plans to build a retort plant in China, where oil will be extracted from shale in a modern extraction facility. Retorting from shale oil has been used successfully in many countries as an auxiliary method of generating oil supplies. The success of developing resources from shale in Estonia encourages Accel Energy to operate its own retort technology in China and to begin with extraction. The Company will sell the resulting crude oil to local markets and use some of it to manufacture value-added products such as the Shale Asphalt Binder product which has higher profit margins than crude oil.

The proposed Accel Energy retort plant will become a source of crude oil, a well of sorts for the SAB. Below forty dollars a barrel, oil-shale oil is not competitive with conventional crude oil. However, with oil prices at $40 and higher and declining crude oil production in most areas, some investors are taking a look at the huge volume of potentially recoverable hydrocarbons in vast shale oil deposits. Accel Energy plans to extract 10,000 bpsd (barrels per stream day). The retorting process is noted for its simplicity, efficiency, and energy self-sufficiency. It employs gravity flow of shale in a moving bed through barrier-free; functional zones where the descending shale and countercurrent flow of air and recycle gas interact to provide both combustion heat for retorting and cooling for the retorted shale. The design for the commercial-size plant takes full advantage of the modular concept used in planning the 10,000-bpsd facility. It includes three full-scale module retorts, each with its own oil/gas-handling system. The design includes appropriate capacities in the mining, shalehandling, shale-disposal, fines-storage, and other auxiliary-facility areas. In addition to employing the basic retorting technology, the commercialplant design has numerous eminent features contributing to the project’s feasibility.

Oil Retort
System attributes:

*Extracts crude oil from shale Rock
*High oil yield- 99%
*Refines petroleum products
*Less shale rock waste
*Uses minimal water
*Generates electricity for local use
*Environmentally safe
*Higher profit margins
*Low water use that is recycled.
*Application of data gained from previous successful programs to ensure minimal technical problems.
*vailability of necessary utilities, water, and other resources.
*acilities that incorporate readily available, low-cost, proven equipment.
* process that requires no external heat source other than for cold start-up.
*etorting controlled by micro-processor computer-based system.
* design that permits use of relatively large shale (-3”, +3/8”) for retorting and discharges retorted shale in the same size range, facilitating disposal, stabilizing, and reclamation.
*inimal fugitive-dust problems.
*Hydrotreating facilities to improve storage, transportation, and marketing qualities.
*Use of product gas to generate electricity for both in-plant use and export purposes.
*Comprehensive planning for site specifics, environment, health, safety, and socio-economics, in addition to the technical details for mining, retorting, product recovery, and storage/transportation.
*Supplemental planning which includes alternatives to keep developments current and consistent with technical and economic needs as occasions demand.

Crude Oil Marketing

China consumed more oil than any country globally except the US and projections show that growth will continue. Oil is vital to the economic growth of China. Therefore, the government aggressively promotes the determination of new resources and is poised to make the oil industry a successful economic driver. Many factors impact the strength and viability of the oil industry in China – finding of sources, changing extraction methods, new and updated products, the quality of the oil, technology and the budget. Accel Energy has the ability to rapidly and economically extract oil from shale rock thereby adding oil to China’s undersupplied market. In addition to this, Accel Energy also has a proprietary technology to produce a binder that, when added to asphalt, strengthens it and results in a longer life and durability of roads in the largest road building initiative in history. With the current pace in the Chinese economy, there exists an opportunity for rapid growth for the Accel energy. Good products coupled with strategic marketing strategies that efficiently reach potential clients will ensure success in this economic environment and help to establish Accel as a driving force in this sector. Branding Accel Energy as reliable source for quality products with excellent customer service will be the motive behind its marketing strategy.


Shale Asphalt Binder

Accel Energy plans to build a facility to manufacture a new-patented product, Shale Asphalt Binder (SAB). SAB is a value-added petroleum product which is made from crude oil and prolongs the life of highways and roads. Accel Energy plans to purchase a site, develop a plant and manufacture and sell this product for road building efforts in China and other markets. Currently, China is embarking on the largest road building efforts in its history that will see its network of highways become comparable to that of the US. The Shale Asphalt Binder that will be produced by Accel Energy will help to effectively prolong the life of those highways. SAB has been formulated to enable governments, Departments of Transportation and contractors to have better road surface availability at a lower cost. SAB provides improved infrastructure, creates greater longevity and has lasting benefits to peoples of all countries, whether developing or industrialized. SAB has a proven history over the past 8 years and was shown to be effective in 11 actual road test locations, within all the major weather zones. The SAB product will provide a longer life to the roads and save taxpayer dollars. The asphalt business in the China and USA is a multi-billion-dollar business, and contracts under negotiation will put Accel Energy in a key market position both in China and subsequently the US, potentially utilizing 100% of its current production and generating millions of dollars in sales revenues. Accel Energy expects to earn revenues of $36 million in the first year of operations of this manufacturing facility with continued growth projected for years to come. Sales of the SAB product are projected to be over US$61 million by 2008. SAB solves five of the major problems facing the maintenance of roads:

*Rutting
*Water stripping
*Thermal freeze-thaw cracking
*Fatigue cracking
*Aging

China Road Industry

On January 13, 2005, it was announced by Zhang Chunxian, minister of communications, that China will build a network of 85,000 km expressways over the next three decades, connecting cities with a population of over 200,000 at a total cost of 2 trillion yuan (approximately 241 billion US dollars). This will place the China highway system on par with USA interstate network of today. It is anticipated it will take 30 years to complete. Total mileage is expected to overtake the American Interstate system, the world‘s biggest, around 2020. The primary road construction material used is asphalt with binders.

Asphalt Binder Industry

Shale Asphalt Binder – China plans to construct US$242 billion in highways within 30 years. The SAB product will effectively prolong the life of those roads. Road/Highway construction is one of the largest industries throughout the world, using primarily asphalt as the building material for roads and highways. Asphalt is made from aggregate rock, road oil and binders. Binders function as the glue for the asphalt compound. About 95 percent of the paved roads in the United States are surfaced with asphalt, and most are produced using hot-mix construction. Hot-mix pavements consist of one or more compacted layers that contain (volumetrically) about 80 percent mineral aggregate, 15 percent asphalt binder, and 5 percent air voids. In the US, the asphalt binder component is valued at approximately $3 billion/year and can have a disproportionately large impact on overall pavement performance. In the United States, about 4 percent of all public sectors spending (by federal, state, and local governments) is used to build and maintain the nation’s network of roads and highways. It is in the public interest to spend this money efficiently, for example, by producing roads that have the lowest possible life-cycle costs. Asphalt providers, construction companies and Departments of Transportation are constantly seeking new products to build stronger, more durable roads. Presently, a combination of several different binders is used to meet Departments of Transportation specifications that address the cracking and deterioration of our roads. The asphalt/binder products are a multi-billion dollar industry increasing annually by an average of twelve percent (12%).

Shale Asphalt Binder Marketing

The agency the Company decides upon will be independently creative with full cooperation from management. Additionally, CEO Anthony Chirico will use his wide range of political connections in both Beijing and Washington to promote the company’s Shale Asphalt Binder product that prolongs the life of highways. In June of 2005, Anthony Chirico was asked to be part of the rational energy commission of Maoming by the Central China Energy Commission. Mr. Chirico acknowledged the significant invitation and stated „Having worked with China since 1985, I am honored by the invitation. This is a great opportunity for my company, and both countries in working together.“ Mr. Chirico will visit major cities and provinces within China and use his best efforts to secure Departments of Transportation’s product approvals for the addition of the Shale Asphalt Binder produced by Accel Energy in regional road building initiatives. If a state agency was convinced of the benefit of a particular additive system, it will implement a restrictive specification that functionally excludes competitive products and regulates the inclusion of specific products that prolong the life of roads. This is done in the US and other countries. The number of Chinese road construction projects linking all their provinces with China‘s emerging highway system. It is recognized that the SAB product is required to provide their roads with the longest life possible. Professionals are a diverse group and usually fall within a specific industry segment. In order to meet potential customers, Accel Energy will attend events to help establish its name and make sales. The segments include Association, Corporate, SMERF (Social, Military, Education, Religious, and Fraternal), government and independent meetings, conferences, conventions, and trade shows can be anywhere in size from 10 to 10,000 participants, and the impact they make on sales and exposure can be significant.

Accel Energy AG / Half Year Results
Zurich, December 20, 2007 - Accel Energy Group (WKN:A0LFLF) has registered
very good results for the first half of 2007. Revenues climbed to US$
33,001,014, with a pre- tax profit of US$ 2,097,539. This result
represents an approximately 8% increase over the previous year´s value and
reflects Accel Energy´s continuously strong growth trend.

These consistent, positive results in great part are due to the progress
made on the Chinese market as well as to Accel Energy´s successful
management. The production of Crude Oils and concurrently Shale Asphalt
Binder (SAB) has led to the steady growth of the company´s revenues and
market strength. Accordingly, Accel Energy´s products have established
their presence in a variety of areas of industry as well as in carrier
shipping.

Based on these trends and figures and supported by the rise in oil prices,
the company´s management expects steady growth over the 2008 to 2010 period
in the Chinese market as well as in the Near and Middle East. Following
revenues for the first half of 2007, Accel Energy expects revenues of ca.
US$ 67,000,000 for the running year. However, not only will revenues grow
strongly, but profits are expected to grow more strongly than the general
market. Consequently, after a profit in 2006 of US$ 6,595,469, Accel Energy
expects a business profit for the running year of ca. US$8,000,000.
Next year, new operative locations in Jordan and in Dubai will come into
effect, as will the company´s listing on the Dubai stock exchange. Both of
these developments have not been included in the company´s prognoses. Much
of Accel Energy´s focus remains centered on its projects in China which are
expanding steadily and should generate further revenue growth.
