WH $1.12- You either believe the $3.00 tender offer or you don't. No other seemingly legit offer trades at this much of a discount.

After switching auditors to the no-nonsense Malone Bailey that uncovered several ChiFrauds and abandoned other China clients, it was announced that a special committee was formed to evaluate take private transaction at split adjusted $3.00. Much like other legit tender offers, the company is under-performing ahead of the transaction.

From the Q4/2011 Earnings Release, we see they are proceeding as any serious company would when going looking to acquire all outstanding shares:

Recent Business Development
The Company has recently engaged Houlihan Lokey (China) Limited as the financial advisor to the Special Committee of its Board of Directors in relation to the non-binding proposal received from H.D.S. Investment LLC ("HDS") indicating HDS's interest in acquiring all outstanding shares of the Company in a possible going-private transaction for $3.00 per American Depository Share in cash, subject to certain conditions. The Special Committee, working with its advisors, has not set a definitive timetable for completion of its evaluation and does not currently intend to announce developments unless and until a definitive transaction or strategic option has been approved.

Crocker Coulson led the conference call on 4/19 so we know IR is still engaged.

Unlike tender offers from domestic China companies that proved a sham, this company has a global footprint that will likely be expanded with new product launches in 2012 (save the profit catalysts until after going private). View the July 2011 Investor Presentation.

10-K also tells us they feel confident with international expansion plans.

While chart may be bottoming here, I really don't see it as a chart play. Engagement of Houlihan as advisor tells me they are serious about this. I like the risk-to-reward here. Note: I have a high risk tolerance.
