"China Valves had a very successful year in 2009. We achieved strong financial performance, closed a successful acquisition, raised $24.7 million in capital and listed our stock on the NASDAQ Global Market. Our robust sales in the fourth quarter, especially to the power supply and water supply industries, allowed us to exceed our net income guidance for the year," said Mr. Siping Fang, the Chairman and CEO of China Valves. "Moreover, we made significant strides towards the end of the year in executing on our growth strategy through identifying and negotiating with new acquisition targets to drive our future growth."

Fourth Quarter 2009 Results

For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, total revenue was $25.4 million, up 24.6% from $20.3 million in the same quarter last year. This revenue growth was mainly due to strong sales of high pressure gate valves and two-way metal sealing butterfly valves to the power supply and water supply industries, partially supported by increased production from the expansion of our Kaifeng facility.

Gross profit for the quarter was $12.4 million, an increase of 55.6% from $8.0 million for the same period of 2008. Gross margin was 48.9% for the quarter, an increase of 970 basis points from 39.2% for the same period in 2008 due to a shift in product mix towards higher-margin, more technologically advanced, higher-end products, strengthened production cost control and lower raw material costs compared to the year ago period.

General and administrative expenses increased 15.4% to $1.8 million from $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense to support the Company's sales and administrative staff as the Company expands. Additionally, travel expenses, auditing, accounting and legal fees also increased due to an increase in acquisition activities and the Company's capital market activities.

Selling expenses decreased 5.4% year-over-year to $1.7 million from $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 mainly due to the Company's new centralized sales policy, which requires business from major clients be processed by the headquarters without incurring sales commission.

During the quarter, the Company reversed an accrual recorded in the first nine months of 2009 of $11.3 million of non-cash compensation expenses related to the release of 4,194,344 make good shares associated to meeting its make good target of $21 million in net income for fiscal year 2009. Due to changes in accounting treatment of non-cash compensation expenses effective December 15, 2009, the Company ceased treating the release of escrowed shares to Mr. Siping Fang as compensation expense. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded $15.0 million in non-cash compensation expenses related to the release of make good shares as a result of achieving the 2008 make good target. For more information, please refer to the Company's Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2010.

Total other expenses were $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $0.4 million for the same period the previous year, mainly due to a non-cash expense of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter 2009 due to changes in fair value of derivative instruments compared to a gain of $65,739 for the same period in 2008.

Income tax expense was $2.2 million, compared to $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. Income tax increased mainly due to increased taxable earnings.

Net income for the fourth quarter 2009 was $16.4 million, compared with a net loss of $12.3 million for the fourth quarter 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $0.52 for the fourth quarter 2009, compared to a diluted loss per share of $(0.43) for the fourth quarter 2008.

After adjusting for the aforementioned reversal of non-cash compensation expenses of ($11.3) million and the expense from changes in fair value of derivative instruments of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 and non-cash compensation expenses of $15.0 million and gain from changes in fair value of derivative instruments of $65,739 for the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company achieved net income of $6.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared with $2.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. Please see the table below for a reconciliation of adjusted financial information to GAAP financial information.

Full Year 2009 Results

For the year ended December 31, 2009, net revenue increased 43.3% to $95.4 million, from $66.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to a shift in product mix towards higher-margin, more technologically advanced, higher-end products, strengthened production cost control and lower raw material costs compared to 2008.

Selling expenses increased 28.2% year-over-year from $4.9 million to $6.3 million mainly due to increased sales volume. General and administrative expenses increased 15.4% from $6.3 million to $7.3 million, mainly due to more staff and fees incurred from capital market activities.

Financial Condition

The Company had $5.2 million in short term loans, including $0.2 million in short term loans to related parties, and no long term debt on its balance sheet.

The Company generated $25.1 million in cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to cash of $0.9 million used in operating activities in 2008. The strong cash flow from operating income was mainly due to net income. The Company used $25.7 million for investing activities, mainly due to purchases of equipment for the new Kaifeng plant and deposits for acquisitions.

Subsequent Events

Following the entry into a definitive securities purchase agreement dated December 30, 2009 with certain accredited investors, China Valves sold 2,414,113 shares of its common stock in January 2010 at a price of $9.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $21.70 million. In addition, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 362,116 shares of common stock at a price of $9.00 per share, exercisable for 30 days starting from January 6, 2010. As of March 26, 2010, 358,782 warrant shares, including 50,000 warrants in connection with the securities purchase agreement dated December 27, 2009, have been exercised and 3,334 warrant shares have been forfeited. The Company raised an additional $3.2 million in gross proceeds as a result of the exercise of these warrants.

In January 2010, the Company closed the acquisition of Yangzhou Rock Valve Lock Technology, Inc. for $7.3 million in cash. The Company expects Yangzhou Rock to contribute approximately $8.6 million in revenue and $3.0 million in net income for 2010.

In February 2010, the Company closed the acquisition of Able Delight (Changsha) Valve Co., Ltd. Consideration for the acquisition is approximately $15 million in cash. The Company expects Able Delight to contribute approximately 140 million RMB ($20.5 million) in revenue and 34 million RMB ($5.0 million) in net income for 2010.

In February 2010, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase 100% equity ownership in Shanghai Pudong Hanwei Valve Co., Ltd.

Business Outlook

"We started this year on a strong note by closing two acquisitions and committing to a third target. These acquisitions help strengthen our product portfolio and allow us to access several patents, broaden our distribution network, and establish our position in end-user applications that we consider potential high-growth markets for valves, such as applications within the hydropower and petrochemical industries. So far, we have been successful in integrating our completed acquisitions, allowing us to secure orders from significant projects, such as the Shanghai Qingcaosha Water Resources project," said Mr. Fang. "We believe these acquisitions will help us move towards higher margin products and services, which should further support our high gross margin going forward in 2010, even though raw material costs may increase. In response to higher raw material costs, we have implemented an alloy surcharge to partially transfer higher costs to our customers. Given the vast expansion in production capacity throughout 2009 and in the first months of 2010, we believe we are well positioned to meet our net income guidance for 2010."

The Company reaffirms its previously issued guidance of $40 million in net income for 2010. The guidance includes the impact of the acquisition of Hanwei Valve, which the Company expects to close shortly, but does not include the impact of any additional potential acquisitions. This guidance excludes the impact of non-cash compensation expenses, if any, related to the release of make good shares and changes in fair value of derivative instruments.

"We plan to continue pursuing additional acquisitions on an opportunistic basis as we find targets that support our existing end-user markets, strengthen our product portfolio, help us access new end-user markets, or expand our current production capacity. Because of the recognition that China Valves has attained in the valve industry in China, we enjoy a preferential position compared to our competitors," concluded Mr. Fang.

Non GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 presented on a GAAP basis, the Company provided adjusted financial information in this release that exclude the impact of non-cash stock compensation expense related to the release of escrowed shares to our Chairman in connection with a make good arrangement entered into in connection with the Company's private placement financings and changes in fair value of derivative instruments. The Company's management believes that these adjusted measures, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, provide investors with a better understanding of how the results relate to the Company's current and historical performance. The additional adjusted information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financials. The adjusted financial information that the Company provides also may differ from the adjusted information provided by other companies. Management believes that these adjusted financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude non-cash expenses that 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 that these adjusted measures reflect the essential operating activities of the Company. In addition, the provision of these adjusted measures allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by the Company's management. Adjusted 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 adjusted financial measure. However, the Company's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded. A reconciliation of each adjusted measures to the nearest GAAP measure is appears in the table below.
