HARBIN, China, May 17 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Green Material Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CAGM; "CAGM" or "the Company"), a Chinese leader in developing and manufacturing starch-based biodegradable containers, tableware and packaging materials, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Revenues -- First quarter revenues increased 31.4% to $2.8 million compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. The results reflect growing demand for the Company's products from existing customers, as well as the successful development of new customers and penetration of new geographic markets.
Gross Profit -- Cost of goods sold was $1.6 million versus $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. Gross profit in the first quarter of 2010 increased 23.7% to $1.2 million compared to $0.9 million in the first quarter of last year, while gross margin was 42.1% versus 44.7% a year ago. The decline in gross margin was due to increased raw material costs in China. The Company expects to reduce production costs and improve gross margins when its new manufacturing facility comes on line in the second half of this year.
Operating Expense -- Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2010 totaled $285,000, or 10.2% of sales versus $197,000, or 9.2% of sales in the first quarter of 2009. Selling expenses were essentially flat year-over-year, while general and administrative expenses increased to $243,000 in 2010 compared to $158,000 in 2009. The increase of $85,000 was primarily attributable to professional fees.
Operating Income -- First quarter income from operations increased 18.2% to $888,000 compared to $751,000 in the 2009 period. Operating margin was 31.8% in the 2010 period versus 35.4% a year ago.
Other Income (Expense) -- Other expenses were $360,000 in the first quarter of 2010 compared to other income of $6,540 in the first quarter of 2009. The expenses are primarily attributable to a $123,000 loss on the disposal of fixed assets and a $197,000 loss on investments.
Net Income -- Net income in the first quarter of 2010 was $435,000 compared to $644,000 in the first quarter of 2009. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $755,000, an increase of 17.3% versus a year ago. Net income per diluted share was $0.02 in the first quarter of 2010 versus net income per diluted share of $0.03 in the first quarter of 2009 based on weighted average shares of 22.4 million and 18.7 million, respectively. The increase in share count reflects the issuance of 5.0 million common shares in a private placement completed in the first quarter of 2010. Adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP) was $0.03 in the first quarter of 2010.
The Company's effective tax rate was 17.8% in the first quarter of 2010 versus 15.0% for the same period in 2009.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $13.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $6.5 million, primarily due to net proceeds from a private placement in the first quarter of 2010. Cash flow from operations in the first quarter totaled $2.0 million. The Company had $18.2 million in working capital and no long-term debt as of March 31, 2010.
Mr. Su Zhonghao, Chief Executive Officer of China Green Material Technologies, stated, "We are pleased to report a 31% increase in revenues, which reflects increased sales to existing customers, as well as our ability to attract new customers in China and internationally. In 2009, we expanded our sales team and developed additional distributor relationships, which is allowing us to capitalize on the growing worldwide demand for environmentally-friendly biodegradable products."
"We believe there is a significant market opportunity for China Green given our early mover advantage, intellectual property, expert R&D team and low-cost manufacturing process," continued Mr. Su Zhonghao. "In 2010 we plan to significantly expand our production capacity, with a new facility expected to come on line in the second half of this year. We anticipate the additional capacity, coupled with our targeted sales and marketing programs, will result in continued increases in revenues. Additionally, increased efficiency from the new manufacturing facility should enable us to expand our gross margins across all product lines."
Mr. Su Zhonghao concluded, "Looking ahead, we are focusing on two key areas of growth: 1) further expanding our presence in China and entering key overseas markets, including the U.S., Italy, France, the U.K., Israel, Korea and Japan; and 2) developing new product categories such as trash bags, shopping bags and medical products. Importantly, we have a dedicated and capable team and the financial resources to execute our plans."
(1) The Company issued common shares during the first quarter of 2010.
(2) Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are non-
GAAP measures that the Company uses to provide information about its
operating trends and are considered important metrics in evaluating
the Company's business. The Company calculates adjusted net income
and adjusted net income per diluted share by excluding the impact of
certain non-recurring items; for the first quarter of 2010 the
excluded non-recurring items are a $123,404 loss on the disposal of
fixed assets and a $197,098 loss on long-term investments.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude a loss on the disposal of fixed assets and a loss on long-term investments that our management excludes when it internally evaluates the performance of the Company's business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, and performance measurement, because these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. Moreover, management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect the essential operating activities of CAGM. Accordingly, management excludes the losses when making operational decisions. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand the Company's financial performance in comparison to historical periods. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by our management. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. However, our management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded. The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings per share to the equivalent GAAP measure.
