These Criminal Manipulating Thieves (one in the same) do not care one iota about the OTC share price decimation, nor overseas shareholders... just look at the share price destruction, it's just pathetic as it's been cut in half over and over and over, again and again. Obviously this Management of the company just doesn't give a Frigging Shitt. I now only wish I could hunt down these lowly pieces of shitt to beat their yellow asses to a pulp. Fuk these low lying scamming pieces scum. Hope they get back exactly what they've done to hurt others. They may have the stolen money but that won't keep them from rotting in hell. Heck, just airing out some steam as I've held onto a small position in this Chinese laundry 'Security' for 6 yrs.

American Lorain Corporation Announces Acquisition of Controlling Interest in Europe Based Chestnut Manufacturer and Distributor

American Lorain Corp. (AMEX:ALN)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Thursday 13 February 2014

Click Here for more American Lorain Corp. Charts.
LINYI, China, Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Lorain Corporation (NYSE MKT: ALN) ("American Lorain" or the "Company"), an international processed snack foods, convenience foods, and frozen foods company based in the Shandong Province, China, today announced that it has acquired 51% share capital in Athena Group ("Athena"), a France based prepared foods manufacturer and distributor with a diversified product portfolio including chestnuts, bean sprouts, as well as a variety of other Asian imported food products, for an aggregate cash consideration of €1,500,000, or approximately US$2,032,050.

The Athena Group was founded in 1968 and currently operates two factories based in France and one factory in Portugal. It is a leading brand and one of the largest producer of canned chestnuts and bean sprouts products in France. The France operation owns two highly automated production lines which are considered Europe-leading in technology and capacity. The Portuguese factory was established in 2013 and is located near Portugal's main chestnut producing region, which is essential to sufficient supply of raw materials given the falling chestnut output in Europe in recent years.

Meanwhile, Athena is currently one of the largest suppliers of Asian foods to French supermarket chains and has a variety of imports such as coconut milk, noodle, soy sauce, and rice paper from China, Thailand, Malaysia, etc.

After over 40 years of development, Athena's sales channel now covers over 80% of the supermarket chains in France and besides sales generated under its own brand, it is also a main supplier for private brand chestnut, bean sprout and imported Asian food products for big supermarket such as Carrefour and Auchan in France.

Mr. Si Chen, Chairman and CEO of American Lorain, commented: "We are extremely pleased to announce to investors this acquisition in France. American Lorain has been giving increasing emphasis in recent years to building a stronger international sales network and this acquisition marks the other important step for American Lorain along with our sustained marketing and operating efforts in Japan as well as domestic China. France is in a central position in Europe's food supply as well as logistics, and this acquisition will potentially enable American Lorain to achieve a strategic command of the whole chestnut industry value chain in Europe, yielding significant synergy together with American Lorain's China operations. We will provide strong support for raw material as well as procurement of Asian food supplies in China, and will also be able to take full advantage of Athena's existing sales channels in Europe to supply not only chestnuts but also other food products desired by the European market. American Lorain and Athena will jointly work in this strategic chance to develop new products with reduced cost in Europe's chestnut and Asian foods market, and strengthen its leading position in Europe."

Somewhat OT: Diamond Foods settlement bullish for chestnut plays that might be only mostly legit?

Diamond Foods Inc. will pay $5 million to settle charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission for its role in an accounting scheme.

The SEC said Thursday that it charged the San Francisco-based snack maker and two of its former executives for their roles in the falsifying walnut costs in order to boost earnings.

So this tells us that deflated nuts as an input isn't really that big of a deal.

FWIW, I still expect this take private to occur, even after all this time. Stock

Here's the big player in the space.

Their technological advantage?

"...and firstly adopted the new gas bearing recuperation process, which is the food industry result of the twenty-first century and upgraded the products from traditional simple food to high-tech snack food, with the added value increased..."

Sounds a bit like what ALN has implemented per the recent PR.

It's a holiday chestnut play.

We have Morgan Stanley accumulating and Tongley still holding.

Company has started communicating again.

Take private 1.60 still on until they say it isn't, per the original offer letter.

Retraction at this point would really surprise me in light of the recent PR's. I really do see the recent communication as that last bit of transparency to cover they arse before going private. Coupled with Nevada listing, class action won't be a factor.

Plenty of warts here just like TBOW and FSIN but Morgan Stanley the common factor.

Chan wants deez nutz?

Joseph Chan still shows ALN on bio. Only listed deal that didn't go through is AMCF, if I'm not mistaken. If the deal is off, we gotta hear soon.

888 Fruit Company begins import of Chinese chestnuts

http://www.freshplaza.com/article/115657/888-Fruit-Company-begins-import-of-Chinese-chestnuts

"We have worked for more than ten years with Chinese suppliers," explained Nico Schaft. "The European harvest in France, Greece and Portugal is low so we are now starting with the Chinese chestnuts. Chinese chestnuts are available from the beginning of October but we don't like to begin import until the European harvest has cleared."

"There are now just four weeks until Christmas so we are selling at full steam. Demand is particularly good from Southern Europe because of the shortage," said Nico. According to the importer chestnuts are an excellent holiday product. "Especially now that it is getting colder people are buying chestnuts and where Europeans roast them, the Asian population boils them."

[hebercreeper]

And another PR...the news is flowing here.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/american-lorain-corporation-completes-installation-140000506.html

I lost big on the first go around but wouldn't mind making a bit back.

Morgan Stanley is still buying & they've been pretty much spot on with these take private arb situations.

Finally A PR

It sounds like some pretty good news

$ALN > Technical bounce watch this week >

ALN has hit the ol' scanner and has a fair chance of a bounce at these levels. Stocks that have declined this badly almost always retrace higher, bounce or dip some and come right back to this point before a further decline.
Contacting me with the fundamentals about the company does not change my criteria for scanning stocks.

If you just started shorting this stock, it might be a bad idea as this is totally oversold!



All of the "FASTLANE's BOMB's AWAY! SCANS" are of my own opinion and not to be used as investment advice.

Selling assets is often a good indicator of legitimacy in this space.

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1117057/000106299313002604/form10q.htm

"On March 13, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Jiangsu Heng An Industrial Investment Group Co., Ltd. to sell the Company’s short-term investment in the amount of $ 7,764,577 (RMB 49,604,000) of a parcel of land located in Junan Town, Shandong Province, to construct residential buildings. The land was sold to Jiangsu Heng An at a total sale price of RMB 69,604,000 and a guaranteed gross profit of RMB 20,000,000 without consideration of profit/(loss) of the residential building project.

I don't have an address for ALN in Thailand. It has been a small market for them in recent years.

[king888]

This is interesting. 7-11 is the biggest convenient store chain in Thailand. Do you have an address of ALN's branch in Thailand ? Maybe I can do some OTGDD here.

[hebercreeper]

According to this late December release, it looks as though ALN will be expanding their Thailand business with certain products set to be carried in the 6000+ 7-11 convenience stores there.

http://prnw.cbe.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/another-round-of-financing-for-xinlv-cattle-closed-by-hfg-china-2.html

With years of relevant industrial experience, the shareholders and manegement team have accummulated steady bases of upstream cattle resources and downstream distribution channels all over the country.

The company mainly deals with the distribution of branded frozen beef and beefsteak products. With the contributions of three rounds of private placement financing, Xinlv has advanced and expanded greatly in the past two years. In Shandong Province, where the company is based, Xinlv`s products entered 80% of supermarkets and shopping malls, thus became top beef brand in Shandong.

ALN has over 43,000 tons of cold/frozen storage that will compliment this venture's growth.

HFG China as an investor in Xinlv with Si Chen as Chairman. Only a matter of time until definitive agreement.

Tongley also likely to be a part of SPV. DEG might be as well.

[hebercreeper]

I'm holding off on my golden chestnuts image until definitive agreement:)

[Kinny]

LOL Perfect!

[hebercreeper]

ibox updated...

[tbirdman]

Hopefully before Christmas...

[hebercreeper]

Haha, does anyone really look at those?

You can add all the girls and chawts in the world here but chestnuts will still not be sexy to penny stock players.

[tbirdman]

This board has the worst ibox I have ever seen.

[hebercreeper]

HC, quit talking to yourself. It is the same Si Chen leveraging ALN channels for Xinlv, with scam adept HFG China likely financing both.

Maybe time for me to go dark until my golden chestnuts appear.

Same Si Chen? Anyone?

Also in Shandong and partnering with HFG China for financial advising. I really don't expect financing the ALN take private will be an issue.

Newman Investments, 10.5% holder in LAS, has Weimin Yin representing them as a Director on LAS board.

Weimin Yin is partner in Tongley Investments Ltd, 10.5% holder of ALN.

Neither firm is known for much activity in other US listed China stocks.

Just making connections- I believe Tongley is part of the SPV being created for ALN privatization.

Is it just me or is there an award for everything in China? And the winner is...

Lilan Tao, chairman of Beijing Lorain was rated "Food Safety integrity messenger"

Was affectionately known as the "Chestnut brother."

http://www.usalr.cn/news_detail/newsId=249.html

On a more serious note, the Lorain group has a pretty good track record for food safety, which has always been a major concern in China.

"Shandong Province mobilize food security center" awarding ceremony was held at the Lorain

http://www.usalr.cn/news_detail/newsId=252.html

I guess the food-related patents are impressive in China but had to chuckle a bit.

Lorain Group won the China patent "Shandong Star Enterprise"

http://www.usalr.cn/news_detail/newsId=248.html

More nice accolades:

Beijing Green Food Co., Ltd. received advanced agro-processing enterprises in Beijing

Our company is the only one in Miyun County businesses to obtain this honor.
