HARBIN, China, Nov. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Green Material Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CAGM; "CAGM" or "the Company"), a Chinese leader in developing and manufacturing starch-based biodegradable containers, tableware and packaging materials, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Third Quarter 2010:
Revenues - Third quarter revenues increased 43.6% to $6.0 million from $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. The increased revenues reflect strong reorders from existing customers, orders from six new customers and expansion in the supermarket sector. The Company increased average selling prices by approximately 8.5% in the third quarter of 2010 and gained a 32.4% increase in tonnage sold. 31.5% of sales emanated from customized product orders and 99% of sales were domestically centric in the PRC.
Mr. Su Zhonghao, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, declared, "We experienced further acceleration in our revenue growth which increased from 28.4% during the first half of this year to 43.6% in the third quarter. This strong momentum reflects growing demand from new and existing customers in China, particularly for the product categories of disposable cups, disposable containers and disposable plates. As we continue to introduce new branded products, which are stronger and less expensive than those from our competitors, while expanding our distribution capabilities to make our products available to more Chinese consumers, we are poised to capture additional market share in the rapidly growing RMB2.5 billion biodegradable products market in China."

The Company's effective tax rate was 14.6% in the third quarter of 2010 versus 15.6% for the same period in 2009.
"We are focused on expanding our capacity to meet the robust demand for our products. During the third quarter, we completed construction of our new state-of-the-art facility which is located in Harbin Economic and Technological Development Zone. We completed the buildout on schedule and once fully utilized, will enable us to produce 11,000 tons of finished products each year, which expands our currently capacity by 122%. We will scale into this during the coming year as we grow our revenues and gain additional market share. More specifically, we expect to be operating at 13,000 tons of capacity by the end of this year and scaling to full capacity at 20,000 tons by the end of 2011. The new facility allows us to operate more efficiently and will provide the ability to fill larger orders from our growing base of domestic and international customers. All in all, I am extremely excited about the future growth outlook for China Green Materials," concluded Mr. Su.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures which Company management uses for financial and operational decision making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude a loss on the disposal of fixed assets and a loss on long-term investments that our management excludes when it internally evaluates the performance of the Company's business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, and performance measurement, because these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. Moreover, management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect the essential operating activities of CAGM. Accordingly, management excludes these losses when making operational decisions. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand the Company's financial performance in comparison to historical periods. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by our management. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. However, our management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded.
The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings per share to the equivalent GAAP measure.
