Man Shing Increases Net Income Guidance to $8.8 Million, or $0.18 EPS, for Fiscal Year 2011
03 Mars 2011 - 2:00PM
Man Shing Agricultural Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:MSAH) ("Man Shing" the
"Company," "we," "us," or "our"), located in the Shandong Province
and one of the largest Chinese exporters of fresh ginger to Japan,
the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, today announced net income
guidance of $8.8 million, or earnings per share of $0.18 based on
50 million fully diluted shares, for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2011, up from previous guidance of $8 million for the same
period.
"It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce the
increase in our net income guidance for the 2011 fiscal year to
$8.8 million," stated Mr. Shili Liu, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Man Shing. "Over the last year it has been our priority
to improve our capital structure and corporate governance including
auditors, legal counsel and board of directors, while preparing
ourselves for continued growth from operations both domestically
and internationally."
Mr. Shili Liu continued, "Several strategic initiatives have
already been set in motion for 2011. In December we entered into an
agreement to produce ginger in Japan on 70,186 square meters of
land. We believe that our presence in Japan will present us with
several important advantages, including a higher price point for
our ginger. Additionally, due to the high quality and safety
standards enforced in Japan, we anticipate increased customer
confidence. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to broaden
our production capabilities and markets to sell our product."
Business Update
- Capital Structure: As a result of the
cancellation of 3,358,250 preferred shares (which were convertible
into a total of 33,582,500 shares of common stock), the Company's
fully diluted shares outstanding were reduced by approximately 33
million shares from approximately 72.4 million diluted shares
reported immediately prior to the cancellation. Additionally,
the Company issued 10 million shares of common stock in the
previously announced $4 million financing. As of February 1, 2011,
Man Shing had approximately 48 million basic and 50 million fully
diluted shares of common stock outstanding.
- Corporate Governance: In October 2010, Man
Shing engaged BDO Limited ("BDO") as new principal independent
auditor. In addition to BDO, Man Shing engaged Loeb & Loeb LLP
as outside legal counsel.
- Board of Directors: Man Shing strengthened the
Board of Directors by recruiting Mr. Xuguang Qiao and Mr. Kun Xu,
who both have extensive experience within the agricultural
industry. Mr. Qiao's and Mr. Xu's agricultural industry
perspectives and extensive network will be valuable assets to Man
Shing as we continue to execute on our business strategy of being a
leader in producing the highest quality fresh ginger. Additionally,
both Mr. Qiao and Mr. Xu have done extensive research mainly
focused on the genetic makeup of ginger and garlic, as well as the
safety and quality control of vegetables.
- Local Government Support / Brand & Media
Awareness: During the second half of the 2010, Man Shing
received positive industry and local government recognition. In
early December Man Shing was awarded a top honor at an event
co-sponsored by China New Village Online (www.zgxncw.cn), China New
Village Management Council and Shandong Province New Village
Development Selection Committee for its leadership in farming
development in the Shandong Province and the Company contribution
to local Anqiu community by creating jobs opportunities. Later that
month members of Man Shing's management team appeared on CCTV 7's
Science Garden show to demonstrate ginger production, storage and
pest-control methods with minimal chemical usage.
- Growth Initiatives: In September 2010, Man
Shing entered into a securities purchase agreement with a group of
strategic investors for $4 million. The financing was completed to
lease additional farmland and expand warehouse capacity. Currently
Man Shing leases over 5.3 million square meters of farmland. The
Company plans to lease additional farmland to further execute the
strategy to become one of China's largest ginger producers and to
meet the increasing demand of high quality ginger in markets such
as Japan and the European Union.
- Production in Japan: In December 2010, Man
Shing announced an agreement with Mr. Nagada Koumonn, a farmland
owner in the town of Yinayityou within the Simane County of Japan
to lease a ginger farm which sits on 70,186 square meters of land.
This agreement is expected to provide Man Shing with several
advantages including helping establish the Company's international
farming presence, a higher price point for our ginger, and
increased customer confidence due to the high quality and safety
standards enforced in Japan.
- Outlook for 2011: In 2011, Man Shing will
continue its effort to improve the corporate governance and public
awareness of the Company. It is the Company's intention to focus
resources on high quality ginger products and selling ginger
products to customers with high food safety standards. The Company
is in the process of leasing more farmland, increasing production
and storage capacity and modernizing its production cycle to
satisfy current customers' demand and further expand its customer
base.
