"We are pleased with the business trends and financial results during the quarter,” stated Mr. Qingqing Wu, Chairman and CEO of VLOV. Mr. Wu continued, “We are executing on our strategy to upscale our brand image amongst our target demographic by working with our distributors to move towards operating stand alone stores and store-in-stores and away from counters and concessions which lessen the value of our brand. Our distributors are presently operating 519 points of sale and plan to open between 30 and 40 high-end stand alone store locations by the end of 2010.” Mr. Wu concluded, “Even with our distributors closing over 200 counters and concessions this year, we were able to achieve top line revenue growth during the quarter of 27%. We are reconfirming our July 2010 guidance of $71 to $75 million top line revenue and adjusted net income of between $13.2 and $14.2 million.”
 
 
 

 
 
Sales - Net sales in the second quarter of 2010 were $17.9 million compared to $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2009, a 27% increase. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $36.0 million, an increase of 12.8% from $31.9 million for the same period of 2009. The increase in our sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to increased marketing efforts in the provinces of Liaoning and Shandong provinces and sales in Sichuan, a province our distributors did not operate POS during 2009.

Cost of Sales - Cost of sales in the second quarter of 2010 was $11.1 million, an increase of 23% from $9.0 million for the same three-month period in 2009.  Cost of sales for the first six months of 2010 was $22.3 million, an increase of 9% from $20.5 million for the same six-month period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the increase in net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2010. As a percentage of net sales, our cost of sales was 62% and 62% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 respectively, down slightly from 64% and 64% for the same three-month and six-month periods in 2009, respectively. Consequently, gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 38% and 38% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, from 36% and 36% in the same periods in 2009, respectively.

Gross Profit - Second quarter 2010 gross profit increased 35% to $6.8 million versus $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2009. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to a 5% increase in the Company's average selling price to its distributors.

Selling expenses - Second quarter 2010 selling and advertising expense totaled $2.6 million, or 14% of sales. This compares to $1.3 million, or 9% of sales in the second quarter of 2009. Selling expenses for the first six months of 2010 totaled $4.0 million, or 11% of sales compared to $2.1 million or 6% of sales in the period of 2009. These increases were mainly due to expenses associated with the Company’s Fall 2010 preview held in May 2010 as well as increased advertising costs to increase brand awareness.

General and Administrative Expenses. Second quarter 2010 general and administrative expense totaled $1.0 million, or 6% of sales. This compares to $0.4 million, or 3% of sales in the second quarter of 2009. General and administrative expense for the first six months of 2010 totaled $1.9 million, or 5% of sales, compared to $1.1 million, or 3% of sales in the period of 2009. These increases in general administrative expenses are due to increased costs from operating as a US publicly traded company.

Net Income - Net income attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2010 was $4.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, versus $2.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2009. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $5.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, versus $6.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share for the same six-month period in 2009.

Adjusted Net Income- Second quarter 2010 adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $2.3 million, which excludes a non-cash gain of $2.2 million related to the fair value of the Company’s warrants. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.13 versus $0.14 during the second quarter of 2009. Adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $5.7 million, which excludes a non-cash loss of $0.2 million related to the fair value of the Company’s warrants. Adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.33 per fully diluted share, versus $6.1 million or $0.39 per fully diluted share during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures for the change in the fair value of the Company's warrants under ASC 815-40-15. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude non-cash charges that our management excludes when it internally evaluates the performance of the Company's business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, and performance measurement as these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. Moreover, management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect the essential operating activities of VLOV. Accordingly, management excludes the change in the fair value of the Company's warrants under ASC 815-40-15 when making operational decisions. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand the Company's financial performance in comparison to historical periods. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by our management. Non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP financial measure. However, our management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded.

The following table provides the non-GAAP financial measure and the related GAAP measure and provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the equivalent GAAP measure.
