"We had a flat quarter year over year as we have reached full capacity in rotary motors while sales of older linear and micro motors slowed as we started to ramp up sales of new products," said Mr. Tianfu Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Harbin Electric.

"We expect some improvement in subsequent quarters of this year with incremental capacity expansion in rotary motors, new linear motor products such as linear servo motors, the second generation linear motor oil pump and a new motor for traditional oil pumps as well as new customers beyond our original oil field customer.  In micro motors, we expect that sales volume of a new micro-motor we began to produce late last year for a new customer will grow further this year.

"The Chinese economy continues to grow rapidly and we expect that our additional capacity expansion in rotary motors, part of which will come on line in 2011, will benefit from China's continued growth."

Revenue

For the first quarter of 2011, total revenues were $103.8 million, down slightly from $105.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. Marginally lower sales in linear motors and specialty micro motors this quarter were partially offset by slightly higher sales in industrial rotary motors. In the linear motor product line, sales were down $0.6 million year-over-year. Lower sales volume in oil pumps (75 units in the first quarter of 2011, compared with 105 units in the first quarter of 2010, a $1.4 million decrease in sales) and in propulsion systems for coal transportation trains (a $1.4 million decrease) were largely offset by higher volumes in other linear motors. In the specialty micro motor product line, sales declined by $0.7 million. A decrease in sales volume of existing products was partially compensated by sales of new products. Rotary motor sales at Xi'an Tech Full Simo were up $1.3 million driven by higher volumes, while rotary motor sales at Weihai Tech Full Simo were down $0.7 million due to lower volumes. Sales of other products declined by $0.9 million due to lower volume.

The decline in overall gross margin was primarily due to margin decline in linear motors and specialty micro-motors. Higher raw material costs and labor costs contributed to higher cost of goods sold across all product lines. Although the Company anticipates passing on a portion of the higher costs through increased prices, it is expected that higher raw material prices will continue to pressure gross margin.

In linear motors, margin compression was mainly attributable to the following factors in addition to higher raw material and labor costs:

  1. Changes in product mix. Sales volume of higher margin products – oil pumps and propulsion systems for coal transportation trains – declined in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the same period a year ago, while sales volume of lower margin products increased.
  2. Lower unit selling prices for some products. In order to expand our customer base and gain market share, we lowered the selling prices for some products.

In the specialty micro motors, lower gross margin was primarily attributable to the following factors in addition to higher raw material and labor costs:

  1. Several new products were added compared to the first quarter of last year. New product launch generally experiences higher manufacturing costs at the start-up stage due to higher costs associated with training of the workforce, more test runs, and smaller orders, which result in reduced production efficiency.
  2. Changes in product mix. Sales volume of existing higher-margin products declined while sales volume of new lower-margin products increased.

Gross margin in rotary motors remained relatively stable year-over-year, driven by improved manufacturing efficiency offset by higher raw material and labor costs.

Operating Expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased to $3.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. As technology and R&D are the Company's long term strategic focus, we have been making every effort to enhance our R&D projects and invest in product and technology development in order to capture additional market share and position the Company well for further growth. The $3.9 million R&D expense in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily associated with a new development project to develop an automated control system for linear servo motors. This development project was initiated in March 2010 in collaboration with a research institute. It has received extensive interest from potential customers. This project is near a successful completion and a total of $3.1 million was incurred during this quarter. We expect to launch the production of this newly developed linear servo motor during 2011.

In subsequent quarters this year, we expect R&D expenses to be lower and expect that total R&D expenses in the entire year will remain below 3% of total revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) amounted to $10.1 million and $7.4 million in first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, or 9.7% and 7.0% as a percentage of each quarter's total revenues. The year-over-year increase in SG&A primarily reflected the following contributors:

  1. Xi'an Tech Full Simo recorded $1.7 million incremental provision for bad debts in the first quarter of 2011 versus in the first quarter of 2010 reflecting the accounts receivable aging analysis.
  2. Expenses in the first quarter of 2011 related to the Going Private Proposal submitted by the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tianfu Yang (see section titled "Recent Events") totaled approximately $0.9 million. This amount included legal fees associated with the class action law suits (see Part II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings"), fees associated with legal and financial advisors for the Special Committee of the Board of Directors, and other related expenses. The Company expects to recover some of the legal expenses related to the class action law suits pursuant to its insurance policy.
  3. Shipping and handling costs increased to $1.5 million from $0.8 million in the same quarter of last year. The higher shipping and handling costs were mainly attributable to higher fuel costs and further geographical expansion of our customer base.

Operating profits were $16.3 million and $27.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, with the operating margin at 15.7% and 26.3%, respectively.

Net Income

The Company recorded a net income attributable to controlling interest of $10.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011, compared with a net income attributable to controlling interest of $20.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted share in the same period of 2010. The net income attributable to controlling interest was 47.4% lower than in the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to the following factors:

  1. Lower gross profit margin (see section titled "Gross Profit Margin");
  2. Higher research & development expenses (see section titled "Operating Expenses");
  3. Higher selling, general and administrative expenses (see section titled "Operating Expenses");
  4. Higher other expenses including expense related to change in fair value of warrant ($0.4 million and $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively) and net interest expense ($1.9 million and $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively); and
  5. Higher income tax rate (see section titled "Income Tax").

The net profit margin (net income attributable to controlling interest as a percentage of total revenues) was 10.4% and 19.5% in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision was $4.2 million and $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The 10% preferential income tax rate at Harbin Tech Full Electric, Inc. ("HTFE"), one of the Company's PRC subsidiaries, expired at the end of 2010. HTFE is in the process of applying for a new preferential income tax rate from the Chinese government. Management believes that it is highly likely that HTFE will be approved for a 15% preferential income tax rate for 2011. For the first quarter of 2011, before obtaining government approval, management of HTFE used a 25% standard income tax rate to calculate the provision for income tax. Shanghai Tech Full was subject to an 11% preferential tax rate in 2010 and is granted a 12% preferential tax rate in 2011. Xi'an Tech Full Simo remains at a 15% preferential tax rate in 2011. Weihai Tech Full has been subject to the standard 25% tax rate.

Recent Events

On October 10, 2010, our Board of Directors received a non-binding proposal from Mr. Tianfu Yang ("Mr. Yang") and Baring Private Equity Asia Group Limited ("Baring") for Mr. Yang and an investment fund advised by Baring to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Harbin Electric not currently owned by Mr. Yang and his affiliates for $24.00 per share in cash, subject to certain conditions ("Going Private Proposal"). Mr. Yang owns 31.1% of our Common Stock. According to the proposal letter, Mr. Yang and Baring intended to form an acquisition vehicle for the purpose of completing the acquisition and that they intend to finance the acquisition with a combination of debt and equity capital. On November 22, 2010,  Mr. Yang advised our Board of Directors that, by mutual agreement, Mr. Yang and Baring had amended and restated their previously announced agreement, pursuant to which they had agreed to work together exclusively on the Going Private Proposal to provide that Baring's participation in the Going Private Proposal would consist solely of a right (but not an obligation) to provide up to 10% of the financing for the transaction, in the form of debt and/or equity and that Mr. Yang would not be restricted from seeking alternative sources of financing, in the form of debt and/or equity, for the transaction

On May 2, 2011, Mr. Yang filed a Schedule 13D/A with the Securities Exchange Commission (the "Schedule 13D/A") jointly with Hero Wave Investments Limited ("Hero"), Tech Full Electric Company Limited ("Tech Full"), Abax Lotus Ltd. ("Abax Lotus"), Abax Nai Xin A Ltd. ("Abax Nai Xin"), Abax Global Opportunities Fund ("Global Fund"), Abax Upland Fund LLC ("Upland"), Abax Arhat Fund ("Arhat"), Abax Claremont Ltd. ("Upland Managing Member"), Abax Global Capital ("AGC"), Abax Global Capital (Hong Kong) Limited ("Abax HK"), and Xiang Dong Yang ("Mr. Xiang Dong Yang", collectively with Abax Lotus, Global Fund, Upland, Arhat, Upland Managing Member, AGC, AGC Asia 3, Abax HK and Abax Nai Xin, the "Abax Parties")  (Mr. Yang, Hero, Tech Full and the Abax Parties are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons"). The Reporting Persons disclosed that on April 20, 2011, Mr. Tianfu Yang and AGC (acting on behalf of certain funds it manages and/or advises), on behalf of themselves, submitted a proposal (the "Proposal") to the Special Committee of our Board of Directors for the acquisition of all of the shares of the Company's common stock not held by Mr. Yang, the Abax Parties or any of their respective affiliates (the "Publicly Held Shares") through a Nevada corporation wholly owned by Tech Full for US$24.00 per share (the "Proposed Transaction"). According to the Schedule 13D/A, in connection with the Proposal, AGC and Abax HK, on behalf of certain of the funds and/or entities that they manage or advise, issued on April 20, 2011 a financing commitment letter and committed to provide equity and debt financing of an aggregate amount of up to US$63.8 million.  In addition, according to the Schedule 13D/A, on April 29, 2011, Tech Full received a debt commitment letter (the "Debt Commitment Letter") issued by China Development Bank Corporation ("CDB") for a US$400,000,000 term loan facility to fund the proposed purchase of the Publicly Held Shares, subject to execution of mutually acceptable definitive documents for the facility.

Our Board of Directors has formed a special committee of independent directors (the "Special Committee") to evaluate and consider this proposal and any other alternative proposals or other strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company. The Special Committee's process is ongoing and the Special Committee intends to continue with its work, including evaluating the Proposal presented by Mr. Yang as well as other proposals which the Company may receive, for as long as the Special Committee, in consultation with its advisors, deems necessary. There can be no assurance that any definitive agreement will be executed with respect to the Proposed Transaction or that this or any other transaction will be approved or consummated.
