Yucheng Technologies (YCHTF.OB)

Potential long term stock - Yucheng Technologies. YCHTF.OB (has warrants YCHWF.OB, which I like more).

Lots of info on it can be found here:

http://www.secinfo.com/dVut2.vbdf.htm

Basically, it's a new Chinese entity combined from a couple of companies purchased by China Unistone and renamed to Yucheng Technologies.

Here is a little on the deal:
China Unistone was organized to effect a business combination with an operating business that is based in China and that has significant growth potential. After the consummation of the stock purchase and redomestication merger, the operating companies of Yucheng will be Sihitech, and its subsidiaries, and e-Channels, all of which are located in China. Together these companies will provide IT services and system integration, web banking, and electronic multi-channel software and solutions to the Chinese banking industry. These companies, founded in the late 1990's have, collectively, demonstrated significant growth since commencing operations. China Unistone believes that the operating companies have the infrastructure in place to expand their business through cross selling, increase their customer base, and develop new services and products. As a result, China Unistone believes that a business combination with Sihitech and e-Channels will provide China Unistone stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a combined company with significant growth potential.

The combined company conists of Sihitech and e-Channels companies. Here is something for 2005:

In 2005, Sihitech and e-Channels had combined revenues of $25.2 million and total net income of $3.1 million. Post closing, Yucheng will have six operating subsidiaries which include Sihitech, e-Channels, Beijing Sihitech Software, Shanghai Sihitech, Shanghai Sihitech Software and Guangzhou Sihitech. There also will be two representative offices in Fuzhou and Xian. The combined company will have a combined employee staff of approximately 550 employees.


It's a profitable entity with significant growth and huge profits margins. (read SEC)
Their business plan is to hit these profits (not revenues):

2007 $ 8,500,000
2008 $ 11,900,000
2009 $ 16,700,000
2010 $ 23,300,000

They have 9.5m O/S with a lot less in float. And already 3.2m in profits. Plus, they just purchased another profitable company:

HRBN - Harbin Electric

Potentially good long term investment in Harbin Electric (HRBN.OB) - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=hrbn.ob
http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001266719&owner=include&count=40

The company is specializing in the linear motors. This is US company based in Beijing, China, which makes it undiscovered China play. They are forecasted to earn .82 in 2007, and almost twice as much (over 1.50) in 2008.

So, basically the forward P/E is below 6 right now...(stock is currently trades between 8.10 and 8.20). Bejing is planning to build the world's biggest subway, which is projected to surpass London as the city with the world's most extensive underground. There is potentially a very big market for railway projects for Harbin Electric's Linear Motors. Recently they announced that they entered into a joint venture research and development with Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to produce a train and system to be tested at the Beijing Airport railway line in China by the end of 2008.

Company is also trying to get on the Nasdaq with a possible listing before April 1, 2007, as well as engage a Qualified Auditing Firm. Here is the section from the recent financing deal they made with Citadel & ML:

Section 4.25 Listing of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company shall make such filings, registrations or qualifications and take all other necessary action and will use its best efforts to obtain such consents, approvals and authorizations, if any, and satisfy all conditions that the Nasdaq Capital Market or Nasdaq Global Market may impose on listing the Company's common stock and shall use its best efforts to obtain such listing by no later than April 1, 2007 and maintain such listing continuously thereafter.

And finally, Dutton and Associates began covering this stock with a Strong Buy Raiting. Once again, this is not a daytrade, but a potentially multi-bagger long term investment...

As of December 18, 2006 it had only 16.6 mil O/S, and insiders own 13.6 mil shares, leaving only 3 mil in the float.
