China Valves Technology, Inc. Announces Unaudited Results for
the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

ZHENGZHOU, CHINA, February 8, 2012 – China Valves Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVVT) ("China Valves” or the “Company"), a leading Chinese metal valve manufacturer, today announced its financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The results are unaudited and subject to change.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

• Net revenue reached $55.7 million, up 6.5% from $52.3 million for the same period last year

• Gross profit was $20.3 million, up 10% compared to $18.4 million for the same period last year

• Net income was $8.2 million, or $0.23 per fully diluted share, compared to $6.4 million, or $0.18 per fully diluted share, for the same period of 2010

“We believe that our results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 are quite satisfactory, especially against the background of tighter credit conditions and constrained infrastructure investment during recent months in China. We are pleased to see modest improvement in gross margin due to a favorable product mix and better operating margins reflecting tighter integration of our subsidiaries. This contributed to a 28% increase in our earnings per share as compared to the prior year period,” said Mr. Jianbao Wang, Chief Executive Officer of China Valves. “We continue to experience heightened accounts receivables and will redouble our efforts to improve collections as bank credit policies become more accommodative. Our technology leadership in high performance valves was validated by recent qualifications for ultra-supercritical thermal power valves and nuclear safety valves by the relevant government bodies, and by our designation as the only National Corporate Technology Center for the Chinese valve industry. We believe that our strong level of recognition within our industry positions China valves to participate in the growth of high value markets and displace more expensive imported products.”

Unaudited Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s total revenue was $55.7 million, up 6.5% from $52.3 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributed to the strong demand for the ball valves, butterfly valves, vent valves and globe valves, and the strong demand for the valves used in petrochemical and oil industries. Sales increases for the four types of valves for three months ended December 31, 2011 were 6.2%, 10.9%, 297.1% and 8.5%, respectively, compared with the same period in 2010. Sales in the petrochemical and oil industries increased 15% compared with the same period in 2010.

Gross profit for the quarter was $20.3 million, up 10.0% from $18.4 million for the same period of 2010. Gross margin was 36.4% for the quarter compared to 35.3% for the same period in 2010. The increase in gross margin was mainly because during the period more high-end valves with higher gross margin were sold, which included 24-way rotary valves manufactured and sold by Shanghai Pudong Hanwei Valve Co., Ltd. (“Hanwei Valve”) and the large-size butterfly valves sold by China Valve Technology (Changsha) Valve Co., Ltd. (“Changsha Valve”).

Selling expenses were $3.8 million compared to $3.8 million in the same quarter 2010, an increase of approximately 0.4% . The increase was consistent with the sales increase during the quarter.

General and administrative expenses were $5.9 million compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $0.6 million, or approximately 10.1% . The decrease was mainly due to the successful management integration by Changsha Valve resulting in a decrease of $1.6 million in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010 due to the successful management integration.

Income tax expense was $2.4 million, compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower taxable income resulting from lower non-deductible expenses. The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.5% for the three months ended December 31,2011, compared with 38.6% for the same quarter in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to preferable tax status of Zhengzhou City ZD Valve Co, Ltd. (“ZD Valve”) which reduces the tax rate from 25% to 15% and the lower non-deductible expenses.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $8.2 million, compared to $6.4 million for the same quarter in 2010. Diluted earnings per share was $0.23, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.18 for the same period in 2010.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2011, China Valves had $21.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $133.9 million in working capital and a current ratio of 3.1:1. Current accounts receivable was $139.9 million as of December 31, 2011 compared to $124.5 million as of September 30, 2011, while long term retainage was $8.9 million as of December 31, 2011 compared to $5.7 million as of September 30, 2010. Days Sales Outstanding for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 were 186 compared to 116 for the same period in 2010. The Company used $8 million in cash from operations during the quarter, primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable.

The Company had no long-term debt on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. Shareholders' equity was $242.0 million as of December 31, 2011, compared to $232.0 million as of September 30, 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $0.9 million in the same period in 2010. The net cash used was for the purchase of equipment, intangible assets and cash deposit due to notes payable and sales covenant.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3.5 million in the same period in 2010 due to lower net proceeds from short-term loan. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $8.1 million short-term bank loans outstanding under its credit facilities and lines of credit.

Subsequent Events

• In January 2012, the Company’s prototype valves for the localization of valves used in ultra-supercritical thermal power plants passed the acceptance inspection conducted by experts from the Bureau of National Energy of China, China General Machinery Association, the Shanghai Electric Group, Dongfang Electric Group and relevant power plants. The valves were manufactured by the Company's subsidiary Henan Kaifeng High Pressure Valve Co., Ltd. ("Kaifeng Valve").

• In November 2011, Kaifeng Valve has received permits for design and manufacture for nuclear safety devices for civil use from the National Nuclear Safety Administration of China. Both permits are valid for five years. In addition, the Company won two purchase orders from Sanmen Nuclear Power Station in Zhejiang Province and Haiyang Nuclear Power Station in Shandong Province for gate valves, check valves and globe valves worth several million dollars in total. Both nuclear power stations adopted the most advanced technology of AP1000 pressurized water reactor.

• In November 2011, Henan Tonghai Fluid Equipment Co., Ltd., China Valves' PRC holding company, has been recognized as a National Corporate Technology Center by an array of China's regulatory and government agencies. China Valves is the only company that has received this recognition in China's valve industry. Normally China Central Government entitles one single National Corporate Technology Center for one industry.

Business Outlook

For the balance of fiscal 2012, China Valves expects to achieve top-line growth in the low double digits, reflecting continued strong demand in the power generation and petrochemical segments, balanced by some temporary softness in the water and infrastructure segments due to a more modest pace of real estate development. The company expects gross margins to fluctuate in the range of 35% to 37% depending on shifts in product mix, and will continue its efforts to carefully manage operating expenses. It should be noted that these estimates are based on current conditions and are subject to revision based on the uncertainty in the global economy and range of potential policy responses and monetary actions by China’s central government.

“In 2012 we will continue to focus on building a company that can achieve a dominant position in China’s highly fragmented industrial valve industry and create sustainable value for our shareholders. We are very encouraged by our recent designation as the only National Corporate Technology Center for the valve industry by the Chinese government. Over the next few years, we intend to expand our portfolio of intellectual property and introduce solutions that can favorably compete with the most advanced international competitors. We believe that China’s ongoing urbanization and industrialization create an attractive growth environment. The extensive qualification process gives us the opportunity to achieve attractive margins on our high performance products,” said Mr. Wang.
