       ("Hankou Bank"), which provides for a loan facility totaling RMB

    "We achieved healthy revenue growth as we increased turbine sales while still maintaining solid blower sales. We are particularly pleased with the performance of our hydropower segment, which accounted for more than 60% of all turbine sales. Moreover, tighter control over selling and general and administrative expenses also helped improve our profitability year-over-year," said Mr. Ruilong Qi, the CEO of Wuhan General. "While we are pleased about our growing top line, gross margin declined due to faster growth of the lower margin turbine sales and increased competition in the industry. In the remainder of 2010, we will monitor profitability closely."

    Second quarter 2010 Results
    For the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, total revenue was $22.7 million, up 32.3% from $17.2 million for the same period last year. Wuhan Blower generated 56.5% of total revenues, compared to 58.9% for the same period last year. Wuhan Generating contributed 42.4% of total revenues, compared to 40.4% for the same period last year. The remaining 1.1% in revenues for the second quarter of 2010 was contributed by Wuhan Sungreen, compared to 0.7% for the same period last year. Sales were adjusted for $0.4 million in inter-group sales following the consolidation of financial information. The year-over-year increase in total revenue was mainly due to increased demand for water turbines from the hydropower industry, in addition to a recovery in demand for blowers from steel manufacturers.
    Gross profit for the quarter was $4.8 million, up 18.4% from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Gross margin was 21.3%, down 2.5 percentage points from 23.8% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the increased contribution of Wuhan Generating, which has a lower gross margin because of increased competition for bids that reduced the selling price of turbines.   
    Selling expenses were $0.3 million, or 1.1% of the total revenue for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $0.3 million, or 1.8% of the total revenue for the same period of 2009. The decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of sales was mainly due to lower commissions. General and administrative expenses decreased 0.5% from $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 due to tighter cost controls. Warranty expense was $0.2 million for the quarter compared to $0.1 million for the same period of 2009. As a percentage of sales, warranty expense was both 0.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. As a result, operating income was $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2010, up 36.8% from $2.1 million a year ago.
    The Company had other expenses of $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2010, up 13.1% from $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2009, mainly due to interest expenses of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2010.  The increase in interest expenses was due to a one-time consultancy fee of $1.0 million in connection with the Company's loan facility arrangement with Standard Chartered Bank (China) Limited, Guangzhou Branch ("Standard Chartered Bank"), in addition to a significant increase in debt. The increase in other expenses was partially offset by a non-cash penalty charge of $1.2 million associated with the Company's capital market activities in the second quarter of 2009. The Company had no such charge in 2010.
    Income taxes were $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $0.2 million for the same period of 2009 due to more profit generated for the current period.
    Net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $0.4 million, compared with $18,316 for the same period last year. Excluding the abnormal one-time financing fee of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 and the non-cash penalty charge of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, adjusted net income was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $1.2 million for the same period of 2009.
    Net of preferred dividends declared, net income available to common stockholders was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with a loss of $0.2 million for the same period last year. Excluding the aforementioned abnormal charges, adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $1.0 million for the same period of 2009.
    Earnings per diluted share were $0.01 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with a loss of $0.01 per diluted share for the same period of 2009. Adjusted for the aforementioned abnormal charges, earnings per diluted share were both $0.04 for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009. For a complete reconciliation of adjusted financial information to GAAP financial information, please see the reconciliation table below.

    Six Months 2010 Results
    For the six months ended June 30, 2010, total revenue was $40.6 million, up 15.4% from $35.2 million in the same period of 2009. Wuhan Blower generated 61.2% of total revenues, compared to 57.8% for the same period last year. Wuhan Generating contributed 37.7% of total revenues, compared to 41.6% for the same period last year. The remaining 1.1% was contributed by Wuhan Sungreen. Sales were adjusted for $0.4 million in inter-group sales following the consolidation of financial information. Gross profit was $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, up 24.1% from $7.9 million in the same period of 2009. Overall gross margin was 24.0% compared with 22.3% for the first half of 2009. Income from operations was $6.1 million for the first six months of 2010, up 55.1% from $3.9 million for the same period in 2009. Net income was $2.3 million, up 102.3% compared with $1.1 million in the first six months of 2009. Net income available to common shareholders was $1.9 million in the first half of 2010, up 150.6% from $0.8 million for the same period in 2009. Adjusting for the abnormal one-time financing fee of $1.0 million in the first half of 2010 and the non-cash penalty charge of $1.2 million in the first half of 2009, adjusted net income available to common shareholders was $2.9 million for the first six months of 2010 and $1.9 million for the same period of 2009.
    Earnings per diluted share were $0.07 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with $0.03 per diluted share for the corresponding period in 2009. After adjusting for the aforementioned abnormal charges, earnings per diluted share were $0.10 for the first six months of 2010 and $0.07 for the same period of 2009. For a complete reconciliation of adjusted financial information to GAAP financial information, please see the table below.

    Financial Condition
    As of June 30, 2010, Wuhan General had $24.6 million in cash and $54.2 million in accounts receivable compared to $0.4 million and $54.0 million respectively as of December 31, 2009. The Company had $40.5 million in working capital with a current ratio of 1.4:1 and stockholders' equity of $104.3 million as of June 30, 2010. Wuhan General's short term bank loans and notes were $72.8 million as of June 30, 2010.
    On June 29, 2010, Wuhan Blower, Wuhan Generating and Wuhan Sungreen (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a Loan Agreement with Hankou Bank. The Loan Agreement provides for a loan facility totaling RMB 320,000,000 (approximately $47 million) in secured debt financing consisting of, short-term loan facility for up to RMB 260,000,000 (approximately $38.2 million), bank note facility for up to RMB 10,000,000 (approximately $1.47 million), trading loan facility for up to RMB 10,000,000 (approximately $1.47 million), and equipment purchase loan facility for up to RMB 40,000,000 (approximately $5.87 million).
    As of June 30, 2010, the Company had received approximately $23.15 million under the term loan facility with Hankou Bank. To date, the Company has used this amount to repay the bank loans with Standard Chartered Bank. The Company is in the process of obtaining documentation from Standard Chartered Bank in connection with the release of the Company's assets that were pledged under the loan with to Standard Chartered Bank. Once this documentation process is completed, the Company will have additional funding available under its Loan Agreement with Hankou Bank.
    Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $2.9 million, as compared to approximately $1.8 million for the same period in 2009. This change was primarily due to an increase in interest and taxes paid.
    The Company sourced $3.6 million in cash flow from investing activities as it received cash from time deposits. The Company sourced $25.3 million from financing activities due to proceeds from bank loans, partially offset by a repayment of notes.

    Recent Events
    On August 2, 2010, Wuhan General announced that on July 26, 2010, its blowers passed the type inspection for subway systems. The inspection, provided by the National Center for Quality Supervision and Test of Fire Fighting Equipment, is an indispensable step for companies aspiring to qualify as suppliers for subway construction projects.

    Business Outlook
    The Company expects demand for both blowers and turbines to continue stabilizing in the remaining months of the year, supported by the replacement of capital equipment in steel mills and the expansion of the hydropower industry. For 2010, the Company still expects Wuhan Blower to contribute around 55% of revenue, while Wuhan Generating may contribute more than 40% because of a lower than previously expected revenue contribution of Wuhan Sungreen.  
    "We are pleased with the resuming growth of our business, as demonstrated by our current backlog of RMB 220 million (approximately $32.2 million) for Wuhan Blower and RMB 200 million (approximately $29.3 million) for Wuhan Generating. While the backlog is encouraging, the increased competition in the market for blowers and turbines, lower selling prices of turbines and smaller revenue contribution of Wuhan Sungreen has compelled us to re-evaluate our current guidance of 20% revenue growth for the year. Although this figure remains our internal target, we are preparing for slightly slower growth in 2010," said Mr. Qi. "We expect the contract wins of Wuhan Blower to support growth in the second half and the recent qualification to manufacture blowers for subway systems to provide opportunities to maintain our margin in the long term, despite a competitive market environment."

    Use of Adjusted Financial Measures
    To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 presented on a GAAP basis, the Company provided adjusted financial information in this release that exclude the impact of the stock penalty for late listing on NASDAQ. 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 abnormal 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.
