Sowani wrote in the report:

“Longwei’s 1QFY10 performance was better than expected and the top line will further strengthen as the new Gujiao facility becomes fully operational. Management is expecting an additional $40 million in revenue and $6 million in net profit in FY10 which we believe is attainable given the vast customer base available in Gujiao. With strong macro-economic indicators of the Chinese economy and the Gujiao facility development nearing completion, we expect Longwei to strengthen its current market position and aggressively pursue additional market share in Shanxi Province.”

Longwei’s revenue for the year ended June 30, 2009 was $196.8 million, a year-over-year increase of 36.9%. Net income for the year ended June 30, 2009, excluding one-time items, was $26.5 million, a year-over-year increase of 28%.

Jim Crane, CFO of Longwei, recently presented at RedChip’s China Equities Conference in Shanghai on December 8th.  During the presentation, Crane stated that Longwei’s new 70,000-metric-ton capacity oil depot facility in Gujiao, located about 30 miles from their existing storage facility in Taiyuan, is expected to be fully operational on or near January 1, 2010. The facility is already delivering on small orders.

Crane noted that Longwei is uniquely positioned as one of only three private, fully licensed oil distributors in Shanxi Province who has significant storage capacity and the only one in Gujiao — a key competitive advantage. Though Gujiao is geographically close to Taiyuan City, the customer base in Gujiao will consist of mostly coal plants, while the Taiyuan facility serves mostly gas stations.

Crane also stated that of the 11-13 key customers identified for the Gujiao facility, Longwei has preliminary contracts signed with six. These agreements are an indication of how much product the customers will buy throughout the year, though Crane says they are difficult to valuate because of the fluctuations in gasoline and diesel prices. (Gas prices determine the value of their current inventory and their revenues.) On November 10th, China’s National Development and Reform Commission mandated an increase on the retail prices of gasoline and diesel by CNY480 (US$70.28) per metric ton, which means the average price for #90 gasoline and #0 diesel increase 0.36 and 0.41 yuan per liter, about 6%-7%, respectively. Good news for Longwei.

American Lorain is the largest manufacturer of processed chestnut products in China. The Company launched its chestnut business in 1995 and currently produces about 50 high value-added processed chestnut products. ALN’s food products are sold in 26 provinces and administrative regions in China, as well as in 42 countries.

Chestnut products are the Company’s highest margin products, but its sales are seasonal. In an effort to reduce the impact of seasonality on its operations, the Company has steadily increased production of frozen, canned and bulk foods, as well as convenience foods such as meals ready-to-eat. Non-chestnut foods are expected to contribute an increasing portion of ALN’s total sales as Chinese consumers shift consumption toward branded, modern food products.

American Lorain has enhanced its cooperation with supermarkets and restaurant chains to help boost domestic market share. ALN products have successfully entered 115 Wal-Marts, 84 Carrefours and 2,700 other markets and convenience stores. Additionally, a new agreement with two popular restaurant chains in China provides ALN with an opportunity to strengthen its domestic sales.

Company management projects sales and earnings gains of 25-30% in 2010 based on three compelling factors:

• ALN’s strategy of strengthening domestic sales channels through shifting sales to agents will provide a wider distribution for its food products with access to more supermarkets and convenience stores.
• New agreements with popular chain restaurants in China, such as KUNGFU Catering Management Co. and CSC Catering Management Co., will begin adding significant revenue in 2010.
• A nationwide marketing campaign, funded by a recent private placement transaction which raised $12 million, will boost sales, particularly in the convenience food segment.
