"In addition, we are currently in final stages of negotiations with a number of wind power component clients to supply shafts and other forged products in the second half of 2010. We believe wind power is becoming an economically viable source of clean and renewable energy, promotes energy conservation and reduces carbon emissions in China, and we believe that the Chinese government will continue to extend strong support to this sector. We plan to leverage on what we see as our competitive edge in the industry to strengthen our market position."

Second Quarter 2010 Results

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2010 increased 39.7% to $19.0 million, compared to $13.6 million in the same period of 2009. The increase was primarily due to strong sales growth of forged rolled rings and related components for the wind power industry segment, as well as strong improvement in the dyeing and finishing equipment segment, which was offset by a decline in sales of forged rolled rings and other components to other industries. Revenue from the sale of forged rolled rings to the wind power industry and other industries grew 40.5% to $13.8 million, or 72.5% of net revenue, compared to $9.8 million, or 72.0% of net revenue, in the same period last year. Revenue from the sale of forged rolled rings exclusively to the wind power industry rose 152.1% to $9.2 million, representing 48.4% of net revenue, compared to $3.6 million, or 26.8% of net revenues in the comparable period last year. Revenue from the sale of forged rolled rings to other industries decreased by 25.6% to $4.6 million, or 24.1% of net revenue, compared with $6.1 million for the comparable period of the prior year. Revenue from the Company's dyeing and finishing equipment segment increased 37.6% to $5.2 million, or 27.5% of net revenues, compared to $3.8 million, or 28.0% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2009. The dyeing and finishing equipment segment improved year over year, reflecting both the effects of the Chinese government's recent support for the textile industry in China and the recovery of the Chinese economy from the global economic downturn.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 increased 60.3% to $5.0 million, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross margin increased 3.3 percentage points to 26.2%, compared to 22.9% for the same period in 2009. Gross margin for the Company's forged rolled rings and other components and dyeing and finishing equipment were 28.3% and 20.7% respectively during the second quarter of 2010 compared to 23.2% and 22.1% respectively during the same quarter last year. The increase in gross margin for forged rolled rings and other components segment was largely attributable to improved operational efficiency as the Company increased capacity utilization during the quarter compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. The 1.4 percentage points decline in gross margin for the Company's dyeing and finishing equipment segment was due to reduction of sales price due to stronger competition in the textile industry in China.

Operating expenses increased 64.1% to $1.0 million, compared to $0.6 million in the comparable period last year, as a result of higher selling, general, and administrative expenses related increased payroll expenses, stock-based compensation, and professional fees.

Operating income increased 59.4% to $4.0 million, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2009. Operating margin increased 2.6 percentage points to 21.1%, compared to 18.5% in the second quarter last year.

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, rose 46.4% to $4.7 million, compared to $3.2 million in the same period last year. The reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is discussed below.

Net income increased 69.8% to $3.0 million, compared to $1.8 million in the comparable period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.12, compared to $0.08 in the same period of 2009. Diluted earnings per share were calculated using weighted average shares of 25,210,214 and 21,256,154 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Six months Results

For the first half of 2010, revenues increased to $35.8 million, up 67.0% from $21.4 million in the corresponding period of 2009. Gross profit increased 99.8% to $9.4 million, compared to $4.7 million in the same period one year ago. Gross margin in the first half of 2010 was 26.2%, up 4.3 percentage points from 21.9% during the corresponding period in 2009. Operating income increased 96.5% to $6.9 million from $3.5 million. EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, rose 86.7% to $8.2 million, compared to $4.4 million in the same period last year. Net income was $5.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, 104.8% increase from $2.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2010, China Wind Systems held cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million, accounts receivable of $6.6 million, and working capital of $4.9 million. The Company had $1.0 million in short-term loans payable, no long-term debt and stockholders' equity stood at $52.5 million.

In the first half of 2010, the Company generated $6.5 million in operating cash flow and spent $8.0 million in capital expenditures, primarily for property and equipment related to the Company's ESR production line.

Business Outlook

In response to growing demand for the Company's forged products for the wind industry, China Wind Systems plans to add an additional small-scale production line to complement its current forging facility and support strong order flow. The Company is in final stage of negotiations with a number of wind power component clients to supply shafts and other forged products in the second half of 2010.

"We have received positive feedback on our ESR and forged products and heightened interest from a number of potential wind energy clients, some of whom received trial products from us," commented Mr. Wu. "In the short term, we plan to add a new fabrication machine to meet the customization requirements by our clients. Our ESR production line has quickly ramped up to full utilization during the third quarter of 2010, and we plan on expanding ESR production as we receive orders from new customers. We anticipate significant growth in demand for our ESR products as they gain wide acceptance among wind power component manufacturers. With the Chinese government's recently announced commitment to invest RMB 5.0 trillion (or $737.5 billion) in new energy, we believe the wind energy sector in China will continue to flourish."

The Company reaffirms its 2010 financial guidance estimating revenues to be in the range of $76.5 million to $85.0 million, EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, is expected to be in the range of $22.7 million to $25.2 million and net income is anticipated to be between $15.5 million and $16.3 million

The Company anticipates stronger demand for both its traditional forged products and ESR forged products in 2010, as management expects stronger sales of precision forged products used in large wind turbines. The Company anticipates revenue contributed by its wind industry segment will increase by approximately 75% year over year to $35 million.
