CNPC plans new refinery
By Wan Zhihong (China Daily)
Updated: 2008-03-04 09:36
China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC), the nation's largest oil producer, will build a 10-million-ton refinery in Liaoning Province's Huludao to increase its refining capacity. The company has approved the plant's feasibility study, a CNPC source said, without saying how much it will invest in the project. The plant still needs government approval, said the source, who did not wish to be named. CNPC's subsidiary PetroChina Jinxi Petrochemical Co has an annual refining capacity of 7 million tons in Huludao. "To meet rising demand, CNPC will boost its capacity by building more refineries," the source said. This year, the company will bring four new 10-million-ton refineries onstream in Dalian, Fushun, Dushanzi and Guangxi. It also plans to begin construction of another super refinery in Sichuan province this year with a capacity of more than 10 million tons...

Company answered: NO VISITS PLEASE
18 APR 2008 -- I just called Dr. Won-Gil Choe "Won". He will not allow a visit because he does not want to run the risk of legal objections (inside information). He also mentioned that folks have visited in the past and then made up stories and posted them online.
We had a 20 minute conversation. Won asked if the call was being recorded (it was not). He did not answer all the questions but here is a summary:
TTCM China:
Not involved in military projects - not sure about the uniforms in the company videos.
Growing segment: water diversion
No trouble getting orders - little marketing effort
Sold some pipes to the Middle East several years ago
Receiving interest from overseas customers
Shipping the pipes is impractical - local
operations/factories/shops are set up - done frequently by TTCM
Plenty of jobs in the backlog - many projects get delayed 2-3 years in China
Working to diversify - small acquisitions already announced
Smart card - R&D phase, not ready for commercial use
CEO is a former military officer (may be on the website or PR's, sounds familiar).
Won is an officer of the company but has little control of the company.
The company does not provide share updates - contact the transfer agent for the information. I asked, "Why is the TA gagged?" Won said if you call the TA they will give the AS and OS.
Wang from TTCM is not Andy Wang of Netcert - absolutely no relation.
How does TTCM China see the Chinese water sector developing in relation to the current TTCM China business model? Answer - long winded answer. We are in the right place at the right time (summary).
What is the financing situation? Does TTCM China have adequate working capital, liquidity and monies available? Answer - adequate funds. Funding large projects can be problematic but overall liquidity is fine for 6-12 months (my intepretation of his comments). Won said the company is large and well established. (Asst Mod comment: $8M yrly revs is small in NA but not so in Cathay). Won said (paraphrasing) the company is not going away, they are just fine and growing slowly but surely.
What is the rev projection for 2008? - Forgot to ask that one.
Won started a company called GAN Semiconductor which uses GaN. The company was sold to Dow several years ago.
Overall, Won seems to be a trustworthy character. He said his feelings were hurt by the harassing phone calls and internet postings. Won has served as CFO for several NASDAQ listed companies.
--- --- --- --- ---
Regarding the backlog
Some people seem to think there is a missing backlog of $100M. I mentioned this to Won and he talked about delays. He said it is not uncommon for projects to be delayed for several years. He did not say what the current backlog is and probably does not know. He seems unhappy to discuss TTCM China's accounting details but is willing to discuss technical topics and TTCM product specification in-depth. He said he travels to Tianjin and visits with the other company officers several times per year and that he had visited a few months ago. He said all the information he releases is given to him by China and it seems like he may not verify the data.
