> The AQSIQ Contract follows an AQSIQ Circular to every quality and technical supervision bureau in all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities under the control of the Chinese Central Government. The AQSIQ Circular sets out a 5-year AQSIQ National Security/Safety Plan to protect against the illegal production, circulation, and use of certain "special equipment" (the "Plan"). AQSIQ's mission in the Circular is, among other things, to protect public safety from safety accidents and other risks caused by counterfeit and substandard "special equipment." Among the "special equipment" referenced in the AQSIQ Circular are liquefied gas tanks, oxygen tanks, and other pressurized containers and pipes, elevators, lift machinery; and equipment at large recreational facilities and automobile plants.In its Circular, AQSIQ has explicitly designated our technology and our Chinese joint venture company affiliate as the exclusive technology and technology provider to help AQSIQ develop, implement and administer its National Security/Safety Plan. Under the AQSIQ Circular, TPID Beijing is to help AQSIQ develop national special equipment security identification standards (the "standards"), a special equipment identification information security management system (the "management system"), and a special equipment security/safety logo (the "logo").
As a result of the Circular, AQSIQ has entered into a Project Cooperation Agreement with the Company's Chinese joint venture company affiliate (Contract No. 0076180). ASQIQ subsequently entered into supplementary provisions to the Project Cooperation Agreement in connection with the initial phase of AQSIQ's National Security/Safety Plans relating to liquefied natural gas containers (the "LNG Contract").
Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to provide and apply a security logo to all LNG containers in China. According to Chinese government statistics, the total number of LNG containers in China is currently over 130 million and is expected to increase in quantity by 10% every year. Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed taggant price per LNG container. The specific taggant price per LNG container is not being disclosed due to its proprietary nature.
Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to provide 50,000 units of one of its highly proprietary scanners and 15,000 units of another of its highly proprietary scanners to approximately 20,000 LNG gas stations, 30,000 special equipment manufacturers, and 40,000 "platforms" in China. Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed price per scanner, with a different fixed price for each type of scanner. The specific price per scanner is not being disclosed due to its proprietary nature.
Finally, under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to establish a security management information system for 50,000 enterprises. Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed price per enterprise. The specific price per enterprise is not being disclosed due to its proprietary nature. According to AQSIQ, among such enterprises and platforms include 5,016 enterprises in charge of manufacturing LNG containers and other pressurized containers, 14,995 enterprises in charge of charging LNG containers, 8,747 enterprises in charge of manufacturing, installing, reequipping and repairing boilers, and approximately 1,823 institutes in the Chinese state quality inspection system which check LNG containers.
