During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we sold a total of 36,953 tons of products, an increase of 25,953 tons from 11,000 tons during the same period a year ago, due to an increase in demand in a gradually improving market as well as the addition of our 3rd mill which increases our total annual production capacity from 120,000 tons to 160,000 tons during its first year of operation and ultimately to 220,000 tons when it reaches its full design capacity in the next three to four years. We believe that such increase was mainly caused by increases in demand from the auto and home appliance products due to PRC government subsidies to encourage consumer spending in these segments during the period ended March 31, 2010. Increased volume and sales have led to a gross profit of $3,429,875 and a net income of $2,011,354 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Total company backlog as of March 31, 2010 was $36,752,762.

Sales volume increased by 25,953 tons, or 236%, period-on-period, to 36,953 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 11,000 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and, as a result, sales revenues increased by $22,367,387, or 293%, period-on-period to $29,990,596 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $7,623,209 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in sales revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2010 is attributable to increase in demand across all product segments especially our high-carbon cold-rolled products used in automobile components production and our low-carbon cold-rolled products used in home appliances production both due to favorable government policies and subsidies to encourage consumer spending, as well as increase in demand in subcontracting work during the period.
