China Valves Technology, Inc. Closed the Acquisition of Yangzhou Rock Valve Lock Technology Co., Ltd.

KAIFENG, China, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Valves Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVVT) ("China Valves" or the "Company"), a leading metal valve manufacturer with operations in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), today announced that on January 13, 2010, the Company formally completed the acquisition of 100% asset ownership of Yangzhou Rock Valve Lock Technology Co., Ltd. ("Yangzhou Rock") for $7.3 million in cash.

China Valves will consolidate Yangzhou Rock's operations into its financial results effective January 2010. Yangzhou Rock has limited working capital requirements and China Valves expects Yangzhou Rock to contribute approximately $8.6 million in revenue and $3.0 million in net income for 2010. As result of this acquisition, Yangzhou Rock became a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Valves.

As a result of this acquisition, China Valves owns all patents that were applied for by Yangzhou Rock, including a patent for a 90 degree rotating valve lock device, a patent for a key management control device and a patent for a type of mechanical valve interlock.

Formed in July 2006 and located in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the PRC, Yangzhou Rock designs, manufactures and distributes interlock valves, valve lock devices, magnetic lock valves, and mechanical interlock machines that are widely used by manufacturing companies in the petrochemical, chemical, natural gas, thermal power station and metallurgy industries, including Sinopec and some of its subsidiaries. Interlock valves and machines are primarily used to eliminate human errors during operation by ensuring that potentially hazardous valve operations are performed in the correct sequence.

Yangzhou Rock's annual designed production capacity is 15,000 units of mechanical interlock machines using a production facility of over 10,000 square meters (approximately 108,000 square feet) equipped with advanced computer numerical controlled, or CNC, equipment. Yangzhou Rock is the only manufacturer that is able to produce interlock valves and machines using proprietary technologies, and the products have higher than average gross margin as compared to China Valves' existing products. China Valves plans to utilize Yangzhou Rock's distribution channels and customer base.

"We are pleased to have formally closed this acquisition after a careful due diligence process and negotiations over the past six months. As a result, we are highly confident that the acquisition of Yangzhou Rock will create value for our shareholders," commented Mr. Siping Fang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Valves. "This acquisition supports our strategy to broaden our product offerings and expand into new vertical industries. Combined with our continued leadership in the power and water supply segments of the valve industry in China, we are confident in our growth expectations for 2010."
