The Company estimates that revenue for the second quarter of 2010 will be in the range of $22.1 million to $24.0 million. Management expects net income for the second quarter of 2010 to be in the range of $3.4 million to $3.7 million. Management estimates that basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2010 will be between $0.16 and $0.18, based on 20,832,957 shares outstanding (on a fully diluted basis).
The Company is constructing new production equipment, which management believes should be capable of producing up to approximately 24 million units annually at full capacity. The testing process for the new production equipment construction is underway. Management expects the first phase of the construction to be completed by the end of July 2010; the delay of roughly one month is the result of strong micro motor demand, which created backlog with equipment providers. Management expects the second phase of construction to be completed before the end of October 2010, and the new production equipment should be fully operational by March 2011.
Mr. Yue Wang, Chief Executive Officer of China Electric, said, "Our revised estimates for the second quarter reflect sustained strong demand for home appliance motors, as well as successful execution of our plan to grow our customer base. We also benefited from an increase in the average selling price during the quarter, particularly in motors used in home appliances. While we expect the strength in the market for home appliance motors to be sustainable, the second quarter is typically one of the strongest for our company and the industry from a demand perspective."
Management had previously estimated that revenue for the second quarter of 2010 would be in the range of $20.0 million to $23.3 million, net income for the second quarter of 2010 would be in the range of $3.0 million to $3.5 million and basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2010 to be between $0.141 and $0.165, based on 21,244,743 shares outstanding (on a fully diluted basis).
China Electric is finalizing its quarter-end closing process. Further detail on the second quarter and first half results and outlook for fiscal year 2010 will be released in August 2010.
The Company's actual results of operations for the second quarter of 2010 could differ materially from the Company's estimates due to completion of its quarter closing procedures, final adjustments, final review by its independent registered public accounting firm, and other developments that may arise before our financial results for the period is finalized.
