Third Quarter 2009 Financial Performance

Third quarter 2009 revenue increased 30.9% to RMB255.2 million ($37.4 million) from RMB195.0 million in the comparable period of 2008, reflecting growth across all three product categories. Revenue from wastewater treatment equipment increased 42.3%, to RMB100.1 million ($14.7 million) in the third quarter of 2009 compared to RMB70.3 million in the third quarter of 2008, due to increased demand for Duoyuan's belt filter press machines, sludge screw, online testing equipment, ultraviolet shelving disinfection systems and microporous aerators. Revenue from circulating water treatment increased by 20.0% to RMB96.1 million ($14.1 million) in the third quarter of 2009 compared to RMB80.1 million in the third quarter of 2008, driven by increased demand for the Company's new fully automatic filters, electronic water conditioners and circulating water central processors. Revenue from water purification equipment increased by 28.4% to RMB55.0 million ($8.1 million) in the third quarter of 2009 compared to RMB42.8 million in the prior year period, as the Company's newly introduced models for central water purifiers, industry pure water equipment and ultraviolet water purifiers continued to be well-received by the marketplace. Demand for the Company's products increased across all three product lines, driven by market recognition of the high quality, durability and effectiveness of the Company's products, as well as the success of the Company's promotion and marketing strategies.

Ongoing government regulations mandating the utilization of water treatment products and stricter enforcement of environmental protection laws also drove demand in the third quarter. While Duoyuan experienced revenue growth across all three product categories in the third quarter of 2009, demand for the Company's wastewater treatment equipment outpaced demand for circulating water treatment equipment and water purification equipment due to intensified government efforts to monitor wastewater discharge.

For the third quarter of 2009, gross profit increased by 38.4% to RMB126.4 million ($18.5 million) from RMB91.3 million in the prior year's period. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2009 was 49.5%, compared to 46.8% in the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to a decrease in raw material costs.

Operating income increased by 31.1% to RMB95.7 million ($14.0 million) in the third quarter of 2009, from RMB73.0 million in the comparable period of 2008. Operating margin was 37.5% in the third quarter of 2009, essentially flat from 37.4% in the prior year period. Selling expenses increased 82.5% to RMB19.2 million ($2.8 million) in the third quarter from RMB10.5 million in the prior year's period. The increase primarily reflects advertising activities initiated in the third quarter of 2009 to enhance national brand recognition.

Provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2009 increased to RMB22.4 million ($3.3 million), an effective tax rate of 23.4%, from RMB12.9 million, an effective tax rate of 17.8%, in the third quarter of 2008. The increase in tax provision primarily reflects the increase in the Company's profits by 32.0% over the same period of 2008, and the termination of a tax exemption for Duoyuan Langfang, one of the Company's subsidiaries on December 31, 2008.

Net income increased 23.1% to RMB73.4 million ($10.8 million) in the third quarter of 2009, from RMB59.6 million in the prior year's third quarter. Diluted earnings per share was RMB1.67 ($0.25) in the third quarter of 2009, compared to RMB1.99 in the third quarter of 2008. During this year over year period, diluted earnings per ADS was RMB3.35 ($0.49) compared to RMB3.97, respectively.

The Company had approximately 43.8 million weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding as of September 30, 2009, compared to 30.0 million weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding as of September 30, 2008.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and bank deposits of RMB937.2 million ($137.3 million), compared to RMB198.5 million as of December 31, 2008, mostly reflecting net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering. Cashflow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were approximately RMB150.5 million ($22.0 million), compared to approximately RMB184.5 million in the prior year period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Financial Performance

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenue increased 33.0% to RMB589.6 million ($86.4 million) from RMB443.2 million for the first nine months of 2008. During this same time period, gross profit increased by 42.8% to RMB285.5 million ($41.8 million) from RMB200.0 million. Operating income decreased by 11.8% to RMB133.2 million ($19.5 million) for the first nine months of 2009 from RMB151.0 million for the first nine months of 2008, and net income decreased 34.8% to RMB77.2 million ($11.3 million), or RMB2.22 ($0.33) per diluted share, from RMB118.3 million, or RMB3.94 per diluted share, for these respective periods. Net income per diluted ADS was RMB4.44 ($0.65) for the first nine months of 2009, down from RMB7.89 for the first nine months of 2008. Weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was approximately 34.8 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to 30.0 million weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the first nine months of 2008.

Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation Expense

In the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded non-cash share-based compensation expense of approximately RMB1.1 million ($158,813), or approximately $0.0072 per ADS. In the first nine months of 2009, the Company recorded non-cash share-based compensation expense of approximately RMB91.6 million ($13.4 million), or approximately $0.77 per ADS, the majority of which was recognized in the second quarter of 2009. Please refer to the non-GAAP presentation provided below for a year over year comparison excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense.

Financial Outlook

Mr. Stephen C. Park concluded, "As we come off a fantastic third quarter, which is seasonally our strongest quarter, our competitive position remains strong and we are poised for future growth supported by our trusted brand name and vast distribution network. With this in mind, we are targeting revenue of approximately RMB190 million in the fourth quarter of 2009."

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