Second Quarter 2010 Financial Performance
Second quarter 2010 revenue increased by 37.4% to RMB293.6 million ($43.3 million) from RMB213.7 million in the comparable period of 2009. Revenues were calculated net of sales rebates, which were flat compared to the prior year period at RMB0.9 million ($0.1 million) in the second quarter of 2010.
Revenue from water reuse equipment, which includes wastewater treatment equipment, increased by 45.3% to RMB126.6 million ($18.7 million) in the second quarter of 2010 compared to RMB87.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, due to increased demand for the Company's UV shelving disinfection systems, online testing equipment, sludge screws, flocculant preparation systems and belt filter press machines.
Revenue from water purification equipment increased by 36.2% to RMB59.0 million ($8.7 million) in the second quarter of 2010 compared to RMB43.3 million in the prior year period, as the Company's ozone generators, central water purifiers and UV water purifiers continued to be well-received in the marketplace.
Revenue from water conservation equipment, which includes circulating water treatment equipment, increased by 28.4% to RMB102.6 million ($15.1 million) in the second quarter of 2010 compared to RMB79.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, driven by continued demand for the Company's circulating central water processors, fully automatic filters and electronic water conditioners.
Revenue from spare parts increased by 48.1% to RMB6.3 million ($0.9 million), which was 2.2% of revenue in the second quarter of 2010, compared to RMB4.3 million, which was 2.0% of revenue in the second quarter of 2009.
For the second quarter of 2010, gross profit increased by 34.1% to RMB140.4 million ($20.7 million) from RMB104.7 million in the prior year period. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 47.8%, compared to 49.0% in the second quarter of 2009 and 46.6% in the first quarter of 2010. These gross margins may be attributed to changing raw material costs as well as fluctuations in the Company's mix of products sold as new higher margin products are introduced.
Operating income was RMB100.7 million ($14.8 million) in the second quarter of 2010 compared to a loss from operations of RMB2.2 million in the comparable period of 2009, primarily reflecting RMB90.5 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense in the prior year period.
Selling expenses, up 94.9% year over year to RMB26.1 million ($3.9 million), reflected the Company's continued efforts to solidify its unique competitive position within China's fragmented water treatment equipment industry. General and administrative expenses were approximately RMB8.5 million ($1.3 million) in the second quarter of 2010, reflecting a normalized cost structure commensurate with overall business growth. Sequentially, operating expenses increased only 5.6% from the first quarter of 2010.
The Company repaid a RMB20 million ($2.9 million) short-term bank note in the first quarter of 2010. As a result, the Company had no interest expense in the second quarter of 2010 compared to RMB0.3 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2010 increased to RMB26.3 million ($3.9 million), an effective tax rate of 25.9%, from RMB22.9 million in the prior year period.
Net income was RMB75.2 million ($11.1 million) in the second quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of RMB25.1 million in the prior year's second quarter. Diluted earnings per share was RMB1.53 ($0.22) in the second quarter of 2010, compared to a loss of RMB0.83 in the second quarter of 2009. Diluted earnings per ADS was RMB3.05 ($0.45) in the second quarter of 2010, compared to a loss of RMB1.66 per ADS in the prior year period.
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded non-cash
share-based compensation expense of approximately RMB0.9 million ($0.1 million), or approximately $0.01 per ADS, compared to RMB90.5 million in the second quarter of 2009. Excluding share-based compensation, non-GAAP net income increased by 16.6% to RMB76.2 million ($11.2 million) in the second quarter of 2010, from non-GAAP net income of RMB65.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was RMB1.54 ($0.23) in the second quarter of 2010, compared to RMB2.16 in the second quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS was RMB3.09 ($0.46) in the second quarter of 2010, compared to RMB4.31 in the prior year period. Please refer to the
non-GAAP presentation provided below for a period-to-period comparison excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense.

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.
