Focus on
Rapidly Growing Niche Segment. We will continue to focus on niche
markets. According to publicly available information, the demand for
precision cold-rolled steel products has been growing at a rate of 20%
annually over the past five years in China. Export demand, coupled with
domestic Chinese demand for automobile parts and components, steel
roofing, plane friction discs, appliances, food packaging materials, saw
blades, textile needles and microelectronics, is expected to continue,
thereby increasing demand for high precision steel products. Moreover, new
applications of steel products are continually being developed. Our
research and development efforts are focused on advancing processing
techniques and production of high strength and ultra-thin, cold-rolled
precision steel products to enhance our product offerings and expand our
market share.
|
|
·
|
Leverage
Our Strengths to Compete Effectively with Imports. Specialty
precision steel is a relatively new industry in China with the majority of
precision steel imported from Japan, Korea, the European Union and the
United States. As a result, the average quality and standards of China’s
high precision steel industry lags behind the international norm. We
believe that our lower cost base allows us to sell our products at an
average of 5 to 10% below our international competitors and our
manufacturing in China gives us an advantage of shorter delivery time to
users in China. We will leverage our lower operating cost base, our
state-of-the-art patented manufacturing system and process, and our
strategic relationships with our major suppliers to produce cold-rolled
steel products with quality similar to international standards at lower
cost than international
competitors.
|
|
·
|
Focus on
High Margin Products. We will continue to manufacture products with
high sustainable margins. We increased our gross margin from 5.8% in 2004
to 10.1% in 2009. The average gross margin of our high carbon steel
products ranges between 20 and 40% while the same for our low carbon steel
products ranges between 10 and 30%. We will provide additional services
such as heat treatment and cutting and slitting to further enhance our
margins. We believe these high gross margins are sustainable despite
fluctuations in steel prices because of the specialty of the end product
which allows price increases of raw material to be substantially passed
directly to our customers.
|
|
·
|
Expand
Manufacturing Capacity. We will increase our production capacity by
commencing construction of a third cold-rolling mill with a design
capacity of 100,000 tons, based on the current range of specifications we
produce, in calendar year 2010. This will increase our total production
capacity to a total of approximately 260,000 tons in four years from now
when all three mills are operating at full
capacity.
|
|
·
|
Compete
Internationally. We intend to expand our exports to compete in the
international marketplace. We believe that at present we are the only
non-Japanese company able to compete in the global marketplace with low
carbon precision cold-rolled steel products in the thickness range between
0.1 to 0.2 mm used for steel roofing. In addition, we are not aware of any
other company that currently manufactures high strength high carbon
cold-rolled steel with a width of or exceeding 1400mm. These products
provide us with a unique opportunity to compete in the global
marketplace.
|
|
·
|
Retain Key
Personnel. The Chinese market is highly competitive for experienced
and talented executives and we will strive to retain our key executives,
including our Chairman, Wo Hing Li, and the General Manager, Hai Sheng
Chen. Their experience in strategic expansions and in steel manufacturing,
respectively, is critical to our continued growth and
success.
