non-state-owned producers of steel products and aggregators of domestic steel companies, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Second Quarter of 2010 Highlights

Total revenues increased 22.7% to $501.7 million from $408.9 million inthe second quarter of 2009
 
--
Aggregate shipment volume reached 1.01 million metric tons, an increase of 6.8% year-over-year
 
--

--
On May 13, 2010, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Framework Agreement with Shanxi Meijin Energy Group Co., Ltd.
 
First Half of 2010 Highlights
 
--
Total revenues increased 30.5% to a record $954.7 million from $731.7 million in the first half of 2009
 
--
Aggregate shipment volume reached 2.05 million metric tons, an increase of 22.3% year-over-year
 
--

"Demand continues to be robust," said General Steel's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Henry Yu. "Located in central China, our largest subsidiary, Longmen Joint Venture, is relatively insulated from the slowdown in the real estate industry and allows us to continue benefiting from infrastructure development projects in western China. In fact, this year alone, there are over 235 construction and infrastructure projects scheduled to begin in Shaanxi province, including nine new railways, one new airport, the expansion of the Xi'an airport, two new ring subway systems and four new dams. These projects will take place over many years and drive our growth in the quarters and years to come. In the meantime, the industry continues to experience ups and downs as average selling prices and key input costs for iron ore and coking coal continue to fluctuate. Regardless, our focus is to continue vetting high-quality acquisition targets while putting an equal effort on controlling our costs and increasing profitability. The fundamentals of our business remain strong and I'm confident in our ability to deliver long-term shareholder value."
 
Selected Financial Results for the Second Quarter and First Half of 2010
 
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 22.7% to $501.7 million from $408.9 million in the second quarter of 2009. Total revenues for the first half of 2010 increased 30.5% to $954.7 million from $731.7 million in the first half of 2009.
 
The increase in total revenues was predominantly due to an increase in both shipment volume and average selling prices for rebar at the Company's Longmen Joint Venture ("Longmen JV").
 
Cost of Sales
 
Total cost of sales for the second quarter of 2010 increased 27.9% to $494.3 million from $386.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. Total cost of sales for the first half of 2010 increased 35.2% to $941.6 million from $696.3 million in the first half of 2009. Cost of sales principally consists of the cost of raw materials, labor, utilities, manufacturing costs, manufacturing-related depreciation and other fixed costs. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an increase in total revenues.
 

Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 decreased 67.3% year-over-year to $7.4 million from $22.5 million. Gross profit for the first half of 2010 decreased 63.0% year-over-year to $13.1 million from $35.4 million. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 1.5%, compared to 5.5% in the second quarter of 2009. Gross margin for the first half of 2010 was 1.4%, compared to 4.8% in the first half of 2009.
 
The Company noted that gross profit was adversely affected by declining average selling prices which fell from the middle of April to the end of June and the price of iron ore and coke, which remained relatively high during the second quarter of 2010.

Operating Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2010 increased 43% to $13.7 million, compared to $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2010 increased 37.8% to $25.8 million from $18.7 million in the first half of 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 2.7% and 2.3% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 2.7% and 2.6% of total revenues in the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company noted that the increase is mainly due to higher transportation and agent charges at the Longmen Joint Venture following shipping volume increases.
 
Finance and interest expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $16.5 million, compared to $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. Finance and interest expenses for the first half of 2010 were $27.4 million, compared to $14.2 million in the first half of 2009. The Company noted that the year-over-year increases were caused by a combination of additional finance and interest expenses and gains on a change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Net Income
 
Net loss attributable to General Steel Holdings, Inc. for the second quarter of 2010 was $2.1 million compared to a net loss of $31.8 million in the second quarter of 2009.
