About Green Circle Decarbonize Technology (GCDT)
Our mission is to preserve the world through decarbonization technologies. As an advocate of decarbonization, we design, develop, and provide customized energy saving solutions that bring considerable economic benefits to our clients and reduce carbon emissions for a sustainable future. As carbon emissions continue to build up in the atmosphere at historic levels, the theme of decarbonization has been gaining momentum on the international stage, and companies and governments are facing more pressure than ever to develop and execute a meaningful net-zero strategy, especially after the adoption of the Paris Agreement and the Glasgow Climate Pact in 2015 and 2021, respectively. The Glasgow Climate Pact reaffirms the Paris Agreement Temperature Goal and urges each of the signing countries to take further actions to accelerate the development, deployment, and dissemination of technologies, and the adoption of policies, to transition towards low-emission energy systems. It is specifically acknowledged in the Paris Agreement that climate change is a common concern of humankind, and accordingly the fight against climate change and the pursuit of decarbonization is not only an imperative agenda of governments or states, but also requires commitment and active participation and contribution by non-state actors such as businesses, financial institutions, educational institutions, and healthcare institutions. We have devised and have been consolidating our corporate mission to research, develop, strategize, and commercialize our decarbonization technology and products that not only bring considerable economic benefits to our clients, but also contribute to the global campaign of decarbonization and ultimately a more sustainable future. We are a holding company incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a holding company without material operations of our own, we conduct our business in Hong Kong through our Operating Subsidiary, Boca International Limited (“Boca International”). We are a provider of advanced energy saving solutions supported by proprietary phase change thermal energy storage materials and thermal engineering services. Our proprietary technology is a phase change material (“PCM”) thermal energy storage (“TES”) technology. By applying material science and nanotechnology, we have successfully invented and manufactured our PCM which allows temporary storage of excess thermal energy for later use and thereby bridges the gap between energy availability and energy use (“BocaPCM-TES Technology”). With our industry experience and professional expertise, we have put our BocaPCM-TES Technology into practice and invented our product – “BocaPCM-TES Panel” – a custom-made high-density polyethylene (“HDPE”) plastic encapsulated container fully filled with our PCM solution. Currently, we have developed more than 20 types of PCM, each of which has a unique phase change temperature and TES capacity to accommodate different temperature requirements in various PCM-TES applications. Based on the type of PCM solution filled into the HDPE plastic containers, we are able to manufacture customized BocaPCM-TES Panels with a wide range of operating temperatures from -86°C to +600°C to suit our clients’ needs. Accordingly, our BocaPCM-TES Panels can be utilized in many heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) and refrigeration applications. By utilizing our customized BocaPCM-TES Panels, we design, develop, and manufacture our phase change material thermal energy storage system (“BocaPCM-TES System”) and apply it on various central air conditioning systems (collectively, “Ultra-High Efficiency Boca Hybrid Power Chiller Plant”). Our Ultra-High Efficiency Boca Hybrid Power Chiller Plant is essentially an advanced cooling system that can be deployed in most existing and new buildings, and it is environmentally friendly with a long lifespan. Operating alongside with our self-developed fully automatic control system, our Ultra-High Efficiency Boca Hybrid Power Chiller Plant can increase its efficiency by optimization control model that shifts the chiller plant’s cooling load from on-peak periods to off-peak periods through applying real-time electricity demand peak management, resulting in a lower running cost due to lower tariff rate charged during off-peak periods. Taking our HAECO Project as a reference, buildings installed with our Ultra-High Efficiency Boca Hybrid Power Chiller Plant are able to reduce at least 40% of electricity consumption during all running time, and approximately 50% to 70% of the running cost (depending on the local electricity tariff) when compared with conventional central air conditioning systems. As a result, our technology and products not only contribute to the global campaign of decarbonization by cutting carbon emissions directly, but also bring considerable economic benefits to our clients. To further our corporate mission and better grasp market opportunities, we continue to strive to develop environmental-friendly, efficient, and cost-saving technologies and solutions for the benefit of our clients and the world at large. We generated revenue of approximately HK$16.6 million and approximately HK$5.2 million for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The revenue for the year ended 31 March 2024 primarily came from providing energy saving services by using our Ultra-High Efficiency Boca Hybrid Power Chiller Plant located at the headquarters of Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (“HAECO”) in Hong Kong International Airport, and for the year ended March 31, 2025, the revenue primarily came from the HAECO project, a project that the Company provides consultation on research and development services (“Soar Project”) and another project with LMP International Limited for the provision of our BocaPCM-TES System at the Bayview Garden Shopping Centre, amounting of HK$5.1 million, HK$3.0 million and HK$8.5 million respectively. We intend to market and sell our products and services in Hong Kong, the PRC, the Republic of Korea, and the Middle East. In order to further promote our business, we have entered into agency agreements with five companies, which are located in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangdong Province, Korea, and Dubai respectively. Our agents have the right to sell and install all products relating to our BocaPCM-TES Technology in the specified territories. Our principal executive office is located in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Key Risks to Green Circle Decarbonize Technology (GCDT)
- Customer Concentration Risk: Green Circle Decarbonize Technology faces significant customer concentration risk, as nearly all of its revenue for the years ended March 31, 2024, and 2025, was derived from a very limited number of projects. For the fiscal year 2024, revenue primarily came from a single project with Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (HAECO). In fiscal year 2025, 100% of the revenue was generated from three projects: the HAECO project, the Soar Project, and a project with LMP International Limited. The loss of any one of these key customers or projects could have a substantial adverse impact on the company's financial performance and future prospects.
- Technological Obsolescence and Competition Risk: The company's business model is centered on its proprietary phase change material (PCM) thermal energy storage (TES) technology. While this technology is presented as advanced and effective, the decarbonization and energy efficiency sectors are characterized by rapid technological innovation and intense competition. There is a risk that new, more efficient, cost-effective, or widely adopted decarbonization technologies or alternative energy-saving solutions could emerge, potentially rendering GCDT's BocaPCM-TES Technology less competitive or even obsolete. Furthermore, protecting and enforcing intellectual property rights for their proprietary technology against competitors could be challenging and costly.
- Market Expansion and Execution Risk: Green Circle Decarbonize Technology intends to expand its market presence beyond its current base in Hong Kong to regions like the PRC, the Republic of Korea, and the Middle East, supported by agency agreements. However, the company currently has a limited operating history and revenue stream derived from a small number of projects. Successfully penetrating new, diverse, and potentially competitive international markets, securing new clients, and scaling its operations effectively presents significant execution challenges. Failure to successfully implement its market expansion strategy and diversify its customer base could limit its growth potential and long-term viability.
