Cost of Sales & Gross Margin

China Carbon's cost of goods sold consists of the cost of raw materials, utilities, labor, and depreciation expenses in its manufacturing facilities. The Company's cost of goods sold was $8.99 million in Q2 2012 compared to cost of goods sold of $9.46 million in Q2 2011, a decrease of $0.47 million or 4.99%. This decrease was directly associated with the decrease in China Carbon's sales.

China Carbon's gross margin however increased from 22.1% for Q2 2011 to 24.4% for Q2 2012. This increase reflects the variance in China Carbon's product mix, which is attributable to an increase of percentage in the Company's sales of fine grain graphite and high purity graphite products, which are higher margin products compared to graphite electrodes and other products.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, China Carbon's net income was $0.87 million in Q2 2012 as compared to $0.88 million in Q2 2011, a decrease of $0.01 million.

Business Outlook

"As we continue to refine our strategy of focusing on our higher margin products made from fine grain and high purity graphite, we will see improved financial results in upcoming quarters," remarked Mr. Yu. "This strategy enables us to maintain profitability while also exploring the significant potential market for these products. High purity and fine grain graphite products have numerous applications in fast developing fields like the nuclear, solar and defense industries, and we are working hard to be in a better position to meet any potential rises in demand for these products, including getting our new facility that will specialize in the manufacture of fine grain and high purity graphite products, plus double our annual production capacity to 60,000 tons, completely up and running."
