Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Renminbi to US dollars for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, were made at a rate of RMB6.6905 to USD1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on September 30, 2010 in the City of New York for cable transfers in Renminbi per US dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Mr. Wenhua Guo, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to announce strong third quarter results, which demonstrate another quarter of sustained growth and presence in China's water treatment industry. This quarter's revenue increased due to strong demand from all three product segments, which was partially due to a change in the timing of sales as some customers shifted fourth quarter purchases to the third quarter in order to meet the completion deadlines of China's 11th Five Year Plan. From a business perspective, we are also excited to have signed three new licensing agreements so far this year that will not only complement and enhance our existing product portfolio, but also extend our reach into new areas of technology so we may further diversify our high-quality product offerings. Moving forward, we are confident in our ability to drive long-term growth through our comprehensive and high-quality product offerings, our low cost manufacturing base, our extensive distribution network and our focus on continually developing new products."
Third Quarter 2010 Financial Performance
Third quarter 2010 revenue increased by 35.1% to RMB344.7 million ($51.5 million) from RMB255.2 million in the comparable period of 2009. Revenues were calculated net of sales rebates, which were flat compared to the prior year period at RMB2.1 million ($0.3 million) in the third quarter of 2010.
Revenue from water reuse equipment, which includes wastewater treatment equipment, increased by 42.4% to RMB142.5 million ($21.3 million) in the third quarter of 2010 compared to RMB100.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, due to increased demand for the Company's belt filter press machines, flocculant preparation systems, UV shelving disinfection systems, sludge screws and online testing equipment.
Revenue from water purification equipment increased by 36.3% to RMB75.0 million ($11.2 million) in the third quarter of 2010 compared to RMB55.0 million in the prior year period, due to strong market demand for the Company's industry pure water equipment, central water purifiers and UV water purifiers.
Revenue from water conservation equipment, which includes circulating water treatment equipment, increased by 21.9% to RMB117.1 million ($17.5 million) in the third quarter of 2010 compared to RMB96.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, driven by continued demand for the Company's fully automatic filters, electronic water conditioners and circulating central water processors.
Revenue from spare parts increased by 121.6% to RMB12.2 million ($1.8 million), in the third quarter of 2010, compared to RMB5.5 million, in the third quarter of 2009.
For the third quarter of 2010, gross profit increased by 25.7% to RMB158.8 million ($23.7 million) from RMB126.4 million in the prior year period. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2010 was 46.1%, compared to 49.5% in the third quarter of 2009 and 47.8% in the second quarter of 2010. The year-over-year decline in gross margin may be attributed to increased raw material costs, partially offset by fluctuations in the Company's mix of products sold as new higher margin products are introduced.
Operating income increased by 30.3% to RMB124.7 million ($18.6 million) in the third quarter of 2010 from RMB95.7 million in the comparable period of 2009.
Selling expenses decreased 22.1% year-over-year to RMB15.0 million ($2.2 million), primarily due to the Company's decision to discontinue certain advertising activities. General and administrative expenses increased 59.2% to RMB11.2 million ($1.7 million) from RMB7.0 million in the prior year period, partially reflecting a RMB2.3 million ($0.3 million) realized foreign exchange loss due to conversion of IPO proceeds. Research and development expenses increased 82.2% to RMB8.0 million (1.2 million) from RMB4.4 million, reflecting the Company's aim to drive future growth through product innovation. Sequentially, operating expenses decreased 14.0% from the second quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
Non-GAAP net income represents net income before share-based compensation expense. The Company believes that non-GAAP net income is useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance compared with that of other companies in its industry. The calculation of non-GAAP net income allows the Company to compare its operating results with those of other companies without giving effect to expenses related to share-based compensation, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of a company's business.
Non-GAAP net income is not a measure of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The Company includes it in this presentation in order to:
- improve transparency for investors;
- assist investors in their assessment of the Company's operating performance;
- facilitate comparisons to historical performance;
- ensure that this measure is fully understood in light of how the Company evaluates its operating results; and
- properly define the metric used and confirm its calculation.
Non-GAAP net income is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for items appearing on the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Rather, the non-GAAP measure should be used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP results to assist the reader in better understanding the operational performance of the Company. The Company cautions that this measure is not a defined term under U.S. GAAP and its definition should be carefully reviewed and understood by investors. The Company recognizes that the usefulness of non-GAAP net income has certain limitations, including:
- Non-GAAP net income does not include share-based compensation expense. Because the Company periodically has granted, and expects to continue to grant, options and restricted share awards to its employees, share-based compensation expense is a necessary element of the Company's costs and ability to generate profits and cash flows. Therefore, any measure that excludes share-based compensation expense may have material limitations; and
- the manner in which the Company calculates non-GAAP net income may differ from that of other companies, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The Company compensates for the foregoing limitations by using non-GAAP net income as a comparative tool, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of its operating performance. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation table for a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income to net income, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure as well as a reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP earnings per ADS to earnings per share and earnings per ADS, respectively.
