Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2009

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $44.24 million while net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $19.22 million, an increase in revenues of $25.02 million or 131.1%. Product sales contributed 38.3 million, or 86.6% of the total revenue in 2009, compared with $8 million, or 41.9% of the total revenue in 2008. Rental incomes contributed 5.9 million, or 13.4% of total revenue, compared with $11.2 million, or 58.1% of the total revenue in 2008. The net sales increase was primarily due to selling three energy recovery systems through sales-type leases during the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with one energy recovery system sold during 2008. The decrease of rental incomes was due to the discontinuing of the operational leases during April 2009.

Gross profit was $10.63 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $5.22 million for the same period in 2008, representing a gross margin of approximately 24% and 27% for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in gross profit was mainly from more product sales during 2009.

Operating income was $17.69 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 while operating income for the same period in 2008 was $7.50 million, an increase of $10.19 million. The growth in operating income was mainly due to the substantial increase in product sales and interest income from sale-type leasing during 2009. Interest income on sales-type leases for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $7.05 million, a $4.76 million increase from $2.29 million for the same period in 2008.

Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses totaling $4.19 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $3.35 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of $840,604 or 25%. This increase was mainly due to increased expenses in connection with the Company's sales of three energy recovery systems through sales-type leases in 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, income from operations was $13.5 million compared with $4.1 million in the same period of 2008, resulting in a 229% increase year-over-year.

Income before tax was 13.0 million, compared with a net loss of 586,827 in 2008. Non-GAAP income before tax, as defined above, was $14.8 million, compared with 5.5 million in 2008.

The income tax expense was $2.9 million with the effective tax rate of 22.7%, consisted of the current income tax expense of $0.86 million and the deferred income tax expenses of $2.09 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The 70% portion of the income taxes expense was non-cash deferred expense corresponding with deferred income tax liability. The reason for having higher deferred income tax liabilities is primarily because of higher tax rates applied to the Company's main operating subsidiary in Xi'an over the lease term years after three-year of preferential tax status for high-tech enterprises.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, net income was $9.7 million compared with a net loss of $2.2 million in the same period of 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, GAAP diluted EPS was $0.21, compared with a diluted loss per share of $0.07 in the same period of 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 million, compared with $7.3 million at year-end 2008, a decrease of $6.2 million. Total investments in sales-type leases were $52.5 million, compared with $16.8 million as of the end of 2008. Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with net cash from operations of $2.0 million in the same period of 2008. The Company believes that the operating activities will create a steady recurring cash inflow streams from the operating projects in the 2010. In the meantime, the company has certain revolving lines of credit with banks, which are either zero balance or unused, but may serve for instant working capital purpose if needed, and is committed with a financial institute for loan capital funding. The company believes that its cash resources are continuing to grow during 2010.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company has total shares outstanding of 38,778,035.

Non GAAP Financial Measurement

The Company believes that "adjusted net income" and "adjusted earnings per share" information, when taken in conjunction with reported results, provide a useful measure of financial performance since they eliminate the impact of certain non-recurring, non-cash charges. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures used by CREG may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.


Adjusted Net Income and Earnings Per Share For the Year Ended December 31, 2009 2008 Net Income attributed to CREG $9,709,276 $(2,219,581) Adjustments -- -- Deferred taxes 2,085,444 -- Interest and financing costs related to conversion of convertible debentures -- 4,684,932 Stock based compensation 1,793,228 1,436,533 Adjusted Net Income 13,587,948 3,901,904 Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding 46,261,985 49,702,199 Adjusted Earnings per Share $0.29 $0.08
Non-GAAP net income, as defined above, was $13.58 million, or non-GAAP diluted EPS $0.29, compared with 3.9 million Non-GAAP net income, or $0.08 Non-GAAP diluted EPS in 2008. GAAP net income was $9.7 million, or GAAP diluted EPS of $0.21, compared with GAAP net loss of $2.2 million, or GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.07 in 2008. The lower GAAP net income reflected higher non-cash charges related to convertible notes and stock-based employee compensation, as well as higher deferred income tax rate levied.

Year 2010 Guidance

The Company expects revenues for 2010 to be in the range of $68 million to $72 million, with net income, excluding non-cash charges, $18 million to 20 million. These targets are based on the Company's current views on the operating and market conditions, which are subject to change.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures for earnings that exclude the effect of non-cash, non-operating expenses related to the Convertible Notes issued in April 2008, and the compensation expenses for the fair value of stock options, as well as deferred income tax expenses. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures when it internally evaluates the performance of its business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting and performance measurement. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP measures is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand CREG's financial performance in comparison to historical periods, and it allows investors to evaluate CREG's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by the Company's management. However, investors need to be aware that non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP, and they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure.
