China America Holdings Increase Net Income From Zero to $7.3 Million



CAAH Acquires Ziyang Ceramics a leading manufacturing and distributor of porcelain tiles used for interior residential and commercial flooring primarily in Eastern and Central China.

 
 

We have always viewed China America Holdings (CAAH) as the little penny stock with huge upside potential It is not everyday a stock literally trading for pennies has a business with such a large revenue base. In the past three years CAAH has generated over $100MM in revenues BUT...net income was no where to be found with losses tallying to about a million dollars. Investors have hoped the company could just muster together some positive net margins..it didn't have to be much...just 10% would've meant 2010 net income of $5MM. Finally...the wait is over.

Yesterday the China America Holdings announced it has entered into a definitive share exchange agreement to acquire a 100% equity stake in China Ziyang Technology Company, Limited for a combination of a convertible promissory note and common stock valued at approximately $16MM. Upon completion of the transaction and assuming full conversion of the note, the acquisition will own approximately 79.6% of the then issued and outstanding shares of China America Holdings.



Shares of CAAH traded over 32 million shares for the day with the stock hitting a high of $0.0299 cents. The stock ended the day at $0.018 per share and was the sixth highest volume stock on the entire OTCBB exchange yesterday. This new acquisition of China Ziyang has clearly changed the entire complexion of the company. Let's examine Ziyang a little more closely.

Based in Zhucheng City, Shandong Province, China. Ziyang Ceramics was established on January 26, 2006, with $7.7MM registered capital and had total assets of approximately $26.5MM as of March 31, 2011. Ziyang Ceramics is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of porcelain tiles used for interior residential and commercial flooring primarily in Eastern and Central China. Ziyang Ceramics operates its production and distribution facility on approximately 1.8 million square feet of land that includes facilities covering an area of 775,000 square feet. Ziyang Ceramics has 492 employees and operates two production lines which produce three main ceramic product types in more than 50 different size and color combinations. The company sells its products through a distribution network of more than 150 distributors across 10 provinces concentrating on major second and third tier cities.

In 2010, on a pro forma basis, Ziyang Ceramics generated revenue of $31.1MM with net income of approximately $7.3MM and experienced top and bottom line growth in excess of 44% compared to 2009. Management expects to grow its internal operations at a rate of at least 20% annually for the foreseeable future.

Dissecting The Deal

As of May 20, 2011 China America had 200,710,792 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding. Based on yesterday's press release China Ziyang will represent 79.6% of the new company. By our calculations, 783,165,639 shares will be issued to China Ziyang bringing the total number of shares to around 983,876,431. Based on yesterday's closing price of $0.018 the market cap of the combined entity is presently $17,709,775MM.

With net income of approximately $7.3MM for 2010 and 2011 expected to be at least 20% higher which would be $8.76MM the current valuation of China Ziyang...is a trailing 2010 PE of 2.42 and a 2011 forward PE of 2.02. That folks..is very inexpensive and we will tell you why.

For the past six months we have seen numerous Chinese companies being outted as frauds. The level and sophistication of fraud has ranged from elementary to institutionally sophisticated. For China America to make an acquisition during this market environment means that they are completely confident China Ziyang is legitimate. If everything checks out then the current valuation is indeed CHEAP! Companies does that are real don't sell for TWO TIMES EARNINGS!

This is an extremely exciting development and we await the 8k SEC Filing to get more details.
