Asian Bamboo AG climbed 2.9 percent to 39.45 euros as the Chinese bamboo plantation operator was rated “buy” in new coverage at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research.

Asian Bamboo acquires a 40% stake in Xinlifeng

Hamburg, 11 January, 2010 – Asian Bamboo AG (“Asian Bamboo”, “the Company”, ISIN: DE000A0M6M79, ticker symbol: “5AB”), a world-leading producer of bamboo trees and organic bamboo shoots, is pleased to announce that Hong Kong XRX Bamboo Investment Co., Ltd. (“Hong Kong XRX”), a wholly owned subsidiary, has acquired a 40% stake in Fujian Xin Li Feng Bamboo Group Co., Ltd. (“Xinlifeng”), a leading producer of bamboo plywood, for approximately EUR 3 million.
Xinlifeng was created by transferring assets from San Feng Group, which has an established market position in the bamboo plywood industry. Xinlifeng’s bamboo plywood products are mainly used in the construction industry as building templates and have certain advantages over building templates made of other types of wood. The cash contribution from Hong Kong XRX will be used to increase Xinlifeng’s production capacity in order to meet increasing demand. The registered capital of Xinlifeng is EUR 7.5 million and the company is debt free.
The Management Board of Asian Bamboo believes that Xinlifeng will buy around 20% of the Company’s total output of bamboo trees in 2010. In addition, it expects that Xinlifeng will achieve a turnover and net profit of at least EUR 13 million and EUR 1.7 million, respectively. Benefitting from the strong demand in the construction industry in China, in combination with the comparative benefits of using bamboo for building template production, the Management Board of Asian Bamboo believes that the outlook for Xinlifeng is very promising.
Lin Zuojun, CEO and founder of Asian Bamboo, commented: “Our investment in Xinlifeng creates a new major distribution channel for our bamboo trees which will increase total demand, in line with our plans for future plantation size expansion.”

[Bambooshot]

Asian Bamboo AG resolves to increase its share capital by up to 10%, terminates share buy-back programme and announces preliminary Q1-Q3 results
Release of an Ad hoc announcement according to Sec. 15 German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) / Capital Increase.


Hamburg, 21 October 2009, the Management Board of Asian Bamboo AG (ISIN: DE000A0M6M79; ticker symbol “5AB“, “the Company”) resolved with the consent of the Supervisory Board, and within the Company’s authorised capital, to increase the share capital of the company by up to EUR 1,275,000 by issuing up to 1,275,000 new, no par value, ordinary bearer shares (“new shares”).

In addition, Green Resources Enterprises Holdings Limited (“Green Resources”), the major shareholder of Asian Bamboo AG and a company wholly owned by Asian Bamboo’s founder and CEO – Mr. Lin Zuojun, will offer a green shoe option of 191,250 shares. The shares will be offered to institutional investors through a private placement and the size and issue price of the capital increase will be determined on the basis of an accelerated book building process. Sal. Oppenheim is acting as the global co-ordinator and sole book runner for the offering and M. M. Warburg as joint lead manager.

The pre-emption rights of the shareholders are excluded and no prospectus will be issued. The new shares shall be admitted to trading on the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The new shares carry full dividend rights from the beginning of the 2009 financial year. Until the admission of the new shares, Green Resources will provide shares in the Company to be allocated to investors by means of a short-term securities lending arrangement.

The net proceeds of the capital increase will be used by the Company to lease around 4,000 hectares (“ha”) of new mature bamboo plantations (“new plantations”). Hence the Company intends to lease a total of 11,000 ha of additional mature plantations in 2010 (7,000 ha in the first half of 2010, as announced on 12 October, and 4,000 ha in the second half). The Company will release more details about the new plantations, including the exact size and location, as soon as possible after the transaction is completed. The Management Board expects that the Company will have a total plantation size of around 40,000 ha by the end of 2010, which is around 11,000 ha (37%) more than the current level of around 29,000 ha.

As a consequence of the share placement, the Management Board has decided to terminate the current share buy-back programme. In addition, the Management Board announces preliminary Q1-Q3 2009 results as follows:

• Revenue of EUR 40.7 million, up 29% year-on-year
• Adjusted net profit of EUR 19.4 million, up 34% year-on-year
• An adjusted net profit margin of 47.7% (2008 = 46.1%)

Due to the increase in the value of the Company's shares in Q3, we have booked an unrealised cost for Share Appreciation Rights ("SARs", "options"), issued to certain key employees, of EUR 1.5 million in the Q1-Q3 results. Excluding this non-cash item, the adjusted net profit for the period is up 44% year-on-year at EUR 20.9 million and the adjusted net profit margin is 51.4%.
Furthermore, the Management Board confirms its 2009 guidance of revenues of more than EUR 55 million and an adjusted net profit margin of at least 45%. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of EUR 30 cents for 2009, up 50% year-on-year, to be distributed in 2010.

Asian Bamboo signs LOIs for plantation leases of 7,000 ha and an investment in San Feng
Hamburg, 12 October, 2009 – Asian Bamboo AG (“Asian Bamboo”, “the Company”, ISIN: DE000A0M6M79, ticker symbol: “5AB”), a world-leading producer of bamboo trees and organic bamboo shoots, is pleased to announce that it has signed letters of intent (“LOIs”) to lease four mature bamboo plantations with a total size of around 7,000 hectares (ha) and to acquire a minority equity stake, of between 30% and 49%, in San Feng Group (“San Feng”).
Two of the new plantations are located in Shaowu, close to some of the Company’s existing plantations. The other two plantations are located in Ganzhou on the border between Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province. The Management Board expects the final contracts to be signed in the first half of 2010 and that the Company will pay around EUR 5,400 per hectare for 20 year leases. This and other terms of the new plantation leases are expected to be similar to those of the most recent plantation leases announced on 22 September 2009.
San Feng is a leading producer of bamboo templates, which are primarily used for housing construction. The company, which is profitable, is expected to have a turnover of RMB 90 million and RMB 150 million in 2009 and 2010 respectively. San Feng’s factories are located in Yong’an, close to Asian Bamboo’s plantations in Sanming. Asian Bamboo’s investment is expected to be in the form of a capital increase which will enable San Feng to expand its annual production capacity from the current level of 40,000 cubic metres to 65,000 cubic metres. It is estimated that San Feng needs six million bamboo trees for its 2010 production. The Management Board of Asian Bamboo expects the total investment, which will be based upon San Feng’s net asset value, to be less than EUR 5 million and that the transaction will close in the first half of 2010.
Lin Zuojun, CEO and founder of Asian Bamboo, commented: “Securing new plantation leases is the foundation of our business model. By the end of Q2 next year, we expect to have a total plantation size of 36,629 ha, which is slightly ahead of our target announced at the IPO. Ever since the IPO, it has been our goal to deepen our involvement in the bamboo flooring/plywood industry. After the investment in San Feng, we will have a stake in a leading and fast growing bamboo template business, which will also become a significant distribution channel for our bamboo trees.”

I had bamboo flooring installed, yet out it goes again.

At least as laminate flooring material, it is way too soft and in no time the floor shows all sorts of deep marks.

Doesn't even look good for various reasons.

This is no comment about Asian Bamboo AG - the company may be a good investment. I didn't do any research.

[Bambooshot]

I like to introduce to you a new green stock you probably don’t know, named Asian Bamboo AG (€18,69), listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Germany.

It’s my first pure China stock pick ever invested in. I found ‘ the name ‘ Asian Bamboo on a holding report of a Belgium Equity Agrivalue Fund and begun to google it and investigate it.
To opportunity was so big and they told a so intriguing story, I decided to invest by buying my first shares at prices of €5,60 / €5,62. Writing 02-16-2009., my first steps on the other part of the world and be in emerging investments …

The more and more I began reading about China, their growth story, their different businesses their in, their government stimulus packages, … and became fascinated about China !
At the same moment I found RINO on my way. Again could not believe this was for sale at these bargain prices !! Tremendous growth figures and P/E-ratio’s of 3, 4 ?! Unbelievable ! Was there something wrong ?? Missed I something ?? There were still the books writing in black ink, couldn’t found anything wrong. So let me invest, so I did. And glad I did, and still holding shares of RINO.

To make a long story short, InvestorsHUB crossed my pad and I found the board Emerging Chinese Small Caps ! I’m very glad with it, and it’s a fantastic board of high quality ! Congratulations to you. On a daily basis I read the posting. Most often I’m in the background.

But I decided to create a own board to let you know about this fantastic agriculture firm, named Asian Bamboo AG. As you can guess they producing and selling bamboo, as trees and as shoots. It’s all 100 % organic ! There’s a worldwide trend to organic food, and this will increase the demand of their organic bamboo shoots. ../..

There’s a lot more to tell I know, but I’m getting tired. I give you the link on IHUB, so you can reading about it, while I’m sleeping. Back tomorrow. See you.

Glad to see that your board is off to a great start.

Bamboo flooring is cheaper and has a longer lifetime warranty than standard hardwood floors, most generally.

[Bambooshot]

The following days I will working on creating a full company presentation of Asian Bamboo AG in the IBox as the time will allow me, yesterday I made just the start ...

And it seems to me that there are already people who can't wait to read more about this promising agriculture firm. And yes, they are right ! Looking forward to have nice conversations with you. Greetings

[Entangled Proton]

I don't think we've had anything like this b4 here on Ihub.
Always ready to look at something new.
