As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:

1] The obvious reason – China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.

2] Great Results and Valuations - Many Small Cap Chinese Companies are listing in the US (OTCBB, NYSE Alternext and NASDAQ) with great financial results. Unlike many dubious US Small Cap Companies, Chinese Companies don’t seem to believe in losing money or failing to execute in a business plan. As such, 7-digit revenues and profits are very common.

From a valuation point of view, many Chinese companies became a victim of their own success in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009. Why? When the world needed to start liquidating, one of the first places they looked were China where most investors had significant gains to sell into. This resulted in the proverbial baby being thrown out with the bathwater and some great valuations.

TODAY’S FEATURED COMPANY

China Recycling Energy Corporation (OTC.BB:CREG)

China Recycling Energy Corp.  is based in Xi’an, China and provides environmentally friendly waste-to-energy technologies to recycle industrial byproducts for steel mills, cement factories and coke plants in China. Currently, recycled energy represents only an estimated 1% of total energy consumption and this renewable energy resource is viewed as a growth market due to intensified environmental concerns and rising energy costs as the Chinese economy continues to expand.

On November 16th 2009, the Company announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2009.

HIGHLIGHTS

• $18.4 million of revenue and $3.8 million of net income for Q3 2009, up 333% and 1,045%, respectively, year-over-year
• Fully diluted EPS of $0.08 for Q3 and $0.19 for the year up-to-date, up from $0.01 and net loss of $0.14 per share in the same period last year
• As of Q3, reached the guidance for the entire 2009 fiscal year in revenue and net income

MY COMMENTS:

First of all, I love the waste to energy space and think it is going to be a big industry going forward.  Why?  It converges on two important global needs – especially in China.  First, we all know that recycling is here to stay.  That’s an easy one.  Second, we all know that renewable energy is going to play a vital role in our planet in the next century.  To date, the main focus has been on renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

However, very few people know that many forms of waste are also potential sources of renewable energy.  They can be recycled and turned into energy.  Until now, this has primarily come from incineration, which creates a host of other problems.  However, new and effective methods are now being developed and coming to market.  Wikipedia has a great overview on this very topic.  These are the reasons I like company’s such as China Recycling Energy.

Turning to the numbers, both revenue and profits grew at an extraordinarily fast pace, both sequentially and year-over-year.  I also like the fact the company has now turned the corner and is in the black after losing $0.14 last year.

At $0.19 EPS for the first nine months, the company is on track for ~ $0.25 for the full year.  At a current price of $2.85 the company is being valued at about 11 X PE.  Not bad but given the fact China Recycling Energy is growing quickly and is playing in a very high growth industry for years to come, I am putting them on my radar screen.

As always, this is my view in a snapshot. It is intended to give you a running start into your research. Now, you have to do your own due diligence to make sure the valuation is not impaired by other factors including balance sheet items, lawsuits or any other negative events.

If you have any comments, I’d love to see them below.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Net revenues advanced 31% to $17,976,529 from $13,735,376
• Net income grew 10% to $9,177,601 compared with $8,336,357 in the prior fiscal year
• Earnings per share for the year ended June 30, 2009 were $0.23 on 40,000,000 weighted average shares
• Trading at $1.00 at time of report on Chinese Stocks TV.

MY COMMENTS:

Unless I am missing something, this Chinese stock is a no brainer.  Top line growth, hefty profit margins ($9.1M income on $17.97M in revenue) and – best of all – EPS of $0.23 for a company trading at just $1.00.  At 4X earnings, this stock is cheap.

I also love the company’s product line.  A mix of Web 2.0 and insurance.  That’s a winning combination for a company growing in China and has all the makings of a long-term winner!

As always, these are my own views and conclusions.  Do your own due diligence.  I know this is one company that would benefit from online investor relations.

China Stocks TV Segment

HIGHLIGHTS

• Total revenues increased 64.7% year-over-year to  US$20.5 million
• Gross profit increased 49.7% year-over-year toUS$8.5 million
• Gross margin was 41.3%, compared to 45.4% in 2007.
• Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was US$2.3 million, an increase of 315.9% from 2007.

MY COMMENTS:

The company had some accounting problems that forced them to re-audit the books.  This beat up the stock pretty good.  However, now that the clean up is done, you may have a great re-entry point here.   I especially like the fact the company is providing revenue guidance for $28 – $29 million for fiscal 2009 – that would be an increase of 40 – 45% over 2008 revenues of $20.5 million.

I also love the level of commercial acceptance achieved by eFuture.  Specifically, eFuture currently serves over 15 Fortune 500 companies, over 1,000 retailers and over 5,000 suppliers operating in China.  That’s pretty damn good.
