"We have seen another year of consistent growth as we the top line and bottom line increased by 20%, " began Chairman Dianmin Ma of China Ruitai. "With escalating demand for our product from pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics customers and a dedicated sales team catering to their needs, we anticipate further margin improvements as we move into 2011. We are well positioned to capture further market share by leveraging our recognized brand to win business.

For the 3 months ended December 31, 2010
Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $10.6 million, a 19.6% increase compared to $8.9 million in 2009. The increase in sales was mainly attributed by sales of Ethyl Cellulose ("EC") added by the additional 500 tons of EC production line in the second half of 2010 and pharmaceutical Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC).
Cost of sales during the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased by 17.2% to $7.6 million compared to $6.5 million in 2009.
Gross profit for the period was $3.0 million compared to $2.3 million in 2009, a 26.1% increase year-over-year. Increases in gross margins were attributed to greater sales revenues and increased sales of Company's higher margin, EC-based product line for pharmaceutical uses.
Net income in fourth quarter of 2010 increased 32.8% to $1.6 million versus the same period in 2009. Earnings per share were $0.06 per share, a 20% increase in EPS for the quarter compared to the fourth quarter, 2009.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010
Total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was $43.2 million, a 20.8% increase compared to $35.7 million in 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily a result of increased production capacity of Ethyl Cellulose (EC) and sales of the Company's EC-based products for the pharmaceutical industry. In July 2010, the Company added an additional 500 tons of new production for ethyl cellulose, which is mainly used as a chemical additive in the production and manufacturing of medicine tablets. Total capacity on December 31st was 8500 tons annually and during 2010 the company operated at 86% capacity utilization. In the last two quarters of the year, the Company was also able to increase the average per ton selling price of the products by $250, or 8%, which also contributed to the increase.
Cost of sales during for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by 27.3% to $30.4 million compared to $23.9 million in the same period of 2009. The increase was consistent with the increase in revenues and increase in the market pricing of ginned cotton, the key raw material used in the manufacturing of cellulose ether. Cotton pricing increases was mitigated by processing an alternative raw material, wood pulp, to extract cellulose for the production of ether cellulose.
Gross profit still increased by 7.8% to $12.8 million for the fiscal year 2010 compared to $11.9 million in the prior responding fiscal year.
Selling and marketing expenses which consist of sales commissions, freight charges, and advertising and promotion expenses increased to 15.1% to $1.8 million compared to $1.5 million in 2009. General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased by 47.1% to $1.4 million compared to $2.6 million in 2009. The decrease in G&A expenses was related to costs reductions in sales staff overhead after the Company consolidated their Beijing sales teams in one office. China Ruitai's dedicated sales department is servicing existing and potential clients across the pharmaceutical, packaged food, personal care and cosmetics industries.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $3.2 million, compared to $4.2 million in the prior year's corresponding period, a 24.0% decrease year-over-year.
Operating income advanced 25.0% to $9.6 million, with operating margin of 22.3%.
Net income for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010 was $6.9 million compared to $5.7 million in the prior year's corresponding period, a 22.2% increase over the prior year. Earnings per share increased 18.2% to $0.26 in the 12 months period based on 26.0 million basic and diluted shares outstanding.
