Sino-Biotics, Inc. Acquires Leading China-Based Fluorescent Lighting Company CH International Holdings, Inc. Through Completion of Reverse Merger; In First Half of Fiscal 2008, New Sino-Biotics Subsidiary CH International Saw Revenues Climb 213% to $37,141,000, While Profits Grew to $5,913,000
New Sino-Biotics President and CEO, Mr. Zhao Guosong, Sees Strong Domestic and International Growth for the Company’s Environmentally Friendly, Energy Efficient Lighting Products and Services
JINHUA, CHINA–(EMWNews – July 17, 2008) – Sino-Biotics, Inc. (
a “blank check” Company trading on the Pink Sheets and OTC Bulletin Board,
took a significant step forward today with the completion of a reverse
merger through which it has acquired CH International Holdings Limited (CH
International). The transaction positions Sino-Biotics as one of the
world’s leading designers, manufacturers and exporters of a wide variety of
fluorescent lighting products and a leading company in China in the rapidly
growing special light source market, with a wide variety of “green,”
environmentally friendly lighting products and services that, among other
things, reduce power consumption, grow plants and improve health.
In conjunction with the transaction, as described below, Mr. Zhao Guosong,
the founder of CH International in 2004, and a highly experienced lighting
industry executive who is also the largest shareholder of Sino-Biotics
(through his majority ownership in KEG International Limited), has been
appointed as a Director and President and CEO of the Company; Ms. Gan
Carying has also been appointed to serve as a Director (Vice Chairman), and
Mr. Huang Hsiao-I has been appointed to serve as Chief Financial Officer.
Description of the Transaction
As described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the
SEC on July 16, 2008, Sino-Biotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, entered
into a Share Exchange Agreement with CH International, a British Virgin
Islands investment holding company and KEG International Limited, a British
Virgin Islands company and the sole stockholder of CH International (KEG).
As a result of the share exchange, Sino-Biotics acquired all of the issued
and outstanding securities of CH International from KEG in exchange for
93,000,000 newly-issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share, representing seventy-seven and one half percent (77.5%)
of Sino’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as of July 16, 2008. The
exchange is intended to constitute a tax-free reorganization pursuant to
the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. As a result of the exchange, CH International became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino-Biotics.
Simultaneously with the filing of the Current Report, Sino-Biotics also
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission an Information
Statement complying with Rule 14f-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, that describes a change in a majority of the Company’s
Board of Directors that shall, not earlier than ten (10) days following the
date of such filing, occur in connection with the change of control of
Sino-Biotics described in the Current Report.
FY ’08 First Half Revenues Grow 213%
As reported in the Current Report, in the first half of Fiscal ’08, ending
March 31, 2008, CH International, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Sino-Biotics, increased revenues to $37,141,000, up approximately 213% from
$11,850,000 in the same period in the prior fiscal year. FY ’08’s six
month revenues also were higher than full year FY ’07 revenues of
$32,379,000 for the year ended September 30, 2007. Net income through the
first six months of FY ’08 also increased dramatically to $5,913,000 from
$618,000 in the same period last year and $1,969,000 at the end of FY ’07.
These reported gains were attributed largely to the Company’s recent
expansion with its environmentally friendly products into the Chinese
domestic market, where first half sales increased by $9,534,000, an
increase of approximately 1,102% over the same period in FY ’07, while
exports in the period also increased by approximately 143%. Domestic
revenue in the FY ’08 first half was $10,399,480 compared with overseas
revenue in the period of $26,741,520.
Continuing Growth Opportunity
Mr. Zhao Guosong, President, CEO and Director of Sino-Biotics, Inc.,
commented, “We are very excited about taking this latest important step in
further building our leadership and growth prospects in the fluorescent
lighting field.” He added, “As China — which has become the world’s
largest lighting products manufacturer — and the rest of the world
increasingly face the twin issues of high energy costs and a deteriorating
environment, we offer lighting solutions and high end products and services
that improve health and working and learning conditions, and that also are
energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Consequently, we see a very
large and growing market opportunity for our innovative products
domestically as well as internationally.”
