SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- New
Energy Systems Group (NYSE Amex: NEWN) ("New Energy" or the
"Company"), a vertically integrated original design manufacturer
and distributor of Anytone® and MeePower® branded consumer backup
power systems for mobile devices and solar panels and related solar
application products to service municipal power applications, today
announced financial results for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2012.
Mr. Jack Yu, Chairman of New
Energy stated, "We took additional actions we deemed necessary to
make New Energy more focused and efficient. Since we divested our
battery components business in the fourth quarter of last year, we
have focused all of our efforts on growing the consumer products
and solar businesses. This comprehensive transformation includes
developing new products, expanding our distribution channels and
consolidating our fixed overhead. While this will take several
quarters to gain traction, we believe this is the right strategy to
pursue in order to maximize shareholder value."

Revenues declined 68% year-over-year to $3.6 million due to lower demand for batteries in
China and increased competition.
Solar panel and related solar product sales were down 74% to
$1.6 million due to the downturn
pressure of the entire solar market and intense market
competition.
Cost of sales decreased 54% to $3.3 million from $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 due to
lower sales and production volumes. Gross profit in the second

compared to $4 million, a 93% decline
compared to the same period last year.

quarter of 2011 as a result of higher raw materials and labor
costs and a significant decrease in production and sales volumes.

2012.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for
the three months ended June 30, 2012

marketing expenses.

of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and $0.5 million amortization expenses during the
second three months of 2012 and 2011. New Energy recorded a
