Changfeng Energy Inc. ("Changfeng") (TSX VENTURE:CFY), a natural gas utility
operating in China, today reported unaudited financial statements for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2010.


Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $5.4 million versus $4.1
million for the same period in 2009, representing a 32% increase. This increase
was net of a negative foreign exchange impact of 6% due to the strengthening of
the Canadian dollar. Revenue for the third quarter in Chinese renminbi ("RMB")
increased by 38% to RMB 35.1 million from RMB 25.5 million for the same period
in 2009.


Revenue for the third quarter grew 20% sequentially compared to the second
quarter of 2010. Further, revenue year to date grew 23% compared to the same
period in 2009.


Gross profits for the third quarter increased by 9% compared to the same period
in 2009. Gross profits as a percentage of sales for the third quarter of 2010
were 49% vs. 59% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in gross margin
percentage is mainly due to the relatively higher procurement price for
purchases of additional volumes of natural gas in Sanya City to satisfy growing
demand beyond our annual gas quota of 24 million cubic meters. It is also due to
lower margins on new gas sales from our CNG refueling retail station.


EBITDA for third quarter of 2010, increased by 59% to $1.0 million compared to
$0.6 million in the same period in 2009 primarily as a result of gas volume and
price increases, the increase in gross profits, and the decrease in travel and
business development expenses.


Operating income for the third quarter of 2010 was $0.52 million compared to
$0.16 million for the third quarter of 2009. Net income for the third quarter
was $0.3 million or $0.005 per share compared to a net income of $0.09 million
or $0.001 per share for the same period in 2009. The improvements in operating
and net income were due to the increase in sales driven by increased volumes and
price increases and a decrease in travel and business development expenses.


The Company's cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2010 decreased to
$2.4 million from $3.8 million as at December 31, 2009, being a decrease of $1.3
million. This decrease was attributable to capital expenditures for construction
of our pipeline network to Haitang Bay and investments in mainland China.


During the third quarter, the Company connected 21 commercial customers
representing 110% growth over the same period in 2009. Year to date, the Company
connected 64 commercial customers representing 49% growth over the same period
in 2009 leaving the Company with 504 commercial customers connected at the end
of the third quarter.


During the third quarter, the Company connected 2,676 residential customers to
its pipeline network in Sanya City representing 13% growth over the same period
in 2009. Year to date, the Company has added 12,704 residential customers
representing 79% growth over the same period in 2009 leaving the Company with
63,159 customers connected at the end of the third quarter.


During the quarter, the Company sold 6.3 million m3 of gas representing 9%
growth over the same period in 2009. Year to date, the Company sold 21.0 million
m3 representing 18% growth over the same period in 2009.


"The quarterly results demonstrate the continuing growth and strength of our
base business in the Sanya region", said Mr. Huajun Lin, Chairman and CEO of
Changfeng. He added that "to handle the growing demand, during the quarter the
company sourced an additional 3 million m3 of gas at a more favorable prices
with the assistance of the local government. The Company continues to try to
source additional gas volume at more favorable prices as demand in the Sanya
region continues to grow. Further, the Company continues to make progress on
business development initiatives to exploit the large, rapidly emerging markets
in Jiangxi and Hunan provinces in mainland China due to the construction of the
second West-East Gas Pipeline which will bring significant volumes of natural
gas to new markets".
