Third Quarter 2010 Financial Performance

Third quarter 2010 revenue increased by 26.1% year-over-year to RMB417.7 million ($62.3 million) from RMB331.1 million in the same period of 2009.  The increase was primarily due to the following:

·                Revenue from edible alcohol increased by 25.6% to RMB284.9 million ($42.5 million) in the third quarter of 2010 compared to RMB226.9 million in the third quarter of 2009 primarily as a result of the increase in sales volume during this period, which in turn was due to the increase in production capacity resulting from the completion of both Phase II at the Shouguang facility and Phase II at the Daqing facility in August of 2009, and an increase in sales price of edible alcohol. Sales volume increased by 7.6% to 60,812 tons and sales price increased by 16.7% to RMB4,686 per ton in the third quarter of 2010.

·                Revenue from DDGS Feed increased by 1.2% to RMB72.8 million ($10.9 million) in the third quarter of 2010, compared to RMB72.0 million in the prior year period, due to the Company’s expanded production capacity driving an increase in sales volume, partly offset by a decrease in sales price per ton. Sales volume increased by 6.5% to 41,750 tons and sales price decreased by 5.0% to RMB1,744 per ton in the third quarter of 2010.

·                Revenue from Corn Germ increased by 52.1% to RMB47.3 million ($7.1 million) in the third quarter of 2010 compared to RMB31.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, mainly driven by the Company’s expansion of production capacity and improvement of production yield, both resulting in increased sales volume, as well as a higher sales price per ton. Sales volume increased by 26.8% to 14,295 tons and sales price increased by 20.0% to RMB3,308 per ton in the third quarter of 2010.

·                Liquid carbon dioxide, a new by-product, started to contribute revenue from July 2010. Revenue from liquid carbon dioxide was RMB12.6 million ($1.9 million) in the third quarter and the sales volume was 22,391 tons at a price per ton of RMB564.

During the third quarter of 2010, gross profit increased by 31.2% to RMB100.9 million ($15.1 million) from RMB76.9 million in the prior year period.  Gross margin for the third quarter of 2010 was 24.2%, compared to 23.2 % in the third quarter of 2009.  The improvement in gross margin was mainly due to the commencement of sales of our additional byproduct, liquid carbon dioxide, which had higher margin than other products.

Operating income increased by 21.5% to RMB88.6 million ($13.2 million) in the third quarter of 2010, from RMB72.9 million in the same period of 2009, as a result of the Company’s strong revenue growth.

Selling expenses, decreased by 34.1% to RMB0.6 million ($0.1 million) in the third quarter of 2010 compared to RMB0.9 million in the same period in 2009. The higher expenses in the third quarter of 2009 were mainly for promotional activities to new customers after

completion of both Phase II at the Shouguang facility and Phase II at the Daqing facility in August of 2009.

General and administrative expenses increased by 279.6% to RMB11.8 million ($1.8 million) in the third quarter of 2010 compared to RMB3.1 million in the same period of 2009, reflecting an increase in administrative staff costs, professional fees and other expenses in connection with maintaining the Company’s status as a publicly-traded company and expanded operations at the Daqing and Shouguang facilities.

Income tax expenses in the third quarter of 2010 were RMB22.2 million ($3.3 million), representing an effective tax rate of 25.7%, increasing from RMB17.6 million in the same period of 2009. As the effective tax rate remained relatively stable, the increase was consistent with the increase of income before income tax expenses.

Net income increased 17.9% to RMB64.2 million ($9.6 million) in the third quarter of 2010, compared to RMB54.5 million in the same quarter of 2009.  Diluted earnings per share and per ADS were RMB2.50 ($0.37) in the third quarter of 2010.  The Company had approximately 25.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had cash and bank deposits of RMB246.5 million ($36.8million), compared to RMB105.8 million as of December 31, 2009.  Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately RMB168.3 million ($25.1 million) due to strong operating results.

Financial Outlook

The Company estimates that its revenue for the full year of 2010 will be in the range of RMB1,660 million ($247.7 million) to RMB1,680 million ($250.7 million), an increase of approximately 56.6% to 58.5% over the previous year.

This forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.
