As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese Small Cap Companies for two reasons:
1]Â 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] Many Small Cap Chinese Companies are listing in the US (OTCBB, AMEX and graduating higher) 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.
AGORACOM AS A STARTING POINT FOR CHINESE SMALL CAP COMPANIES
In addition to the featured company below, you can refer to our China category for other featured Chinese Small-Cap Companies, or view our extensive coverage of them on AGORACOM TV . As always, we will disclose any IR relationship with any public company. Given the sheer number of great Chinese Small-Cap Companies out there, you can expect us NOT to have an IR relationship with most of these companies.
TODAY’S FEATURED COMPANY
Winland Online Shipping Holdings Corporation (OTCBB:WLOL.OB)
A PRC-based global shipping company which also owns and operates China’s largest shipping website portal “Shipping Online” (www.sol.com.cn), recently reported continued substantial growth in its operations, despite significantly increased fuel costs and the effects of the global financial crisis.

Third quarter ended September 30, 2008:

Nine month period ended September 30, 2008:
- Revenues of $71,872,448 reflected an increase of 37.8% over revenues of $52,142,008 in the same period last year
- Net income in the 2007 nine month period included a $4,836,349 gain, principally from the sale of a vessel in the period, which brought 2007 nine month net to $18,035,267, slightly higher than net income in the 2008 nine month period of $17,422,191.

Outlook
“Due to the global economic crisis, the international economy is greatly impacted,
especially in the area of import and export trading. Therefore, our profits for the fourth quarter of 2008 and beginning of 2009 certainly will be influenced. However, in the
long run, since most of our own vessels were purchased before 2003 when the shipping market was down and no vessels were purchased or chartered in 2007, when the market
was high, our vessels costs will have been kept low. Consequently, we will have a
tremendous advantage compared with our competitors. Obviously, the financial crisis
is a crisis of survival for some competitors, but for us, it is a rapid expansion opportunity.”
Mr. Li Honglin, President and Founder
