Top 10 Puda Coal Benefits

  • The Chinese economy is booming, and with it new construction. Construction means steel, but there can be no steel without coal - the material at the foundation of the new economy. Demand for quality grade coking coal is tied to the demand for steel.
  • Puda Coal is a leading supplier of China's highest grade metallurgical coking coal.
  • Puda Coal has an established and loyal customer base and assured sources of raw material sufficient to meet rapidly growing demand.
  • Puda Coal is based in Shanxi Province, which accounts for 20% to 25% of China's coal output and 50% of China's coke production.
  • Puda enjoys a strong competitive advantage as one of Shanxi's lowest average cost producers because of its processing know-how, modern operating efficiencies and location.
  • Puda's new coal cleaning facility in Shanxi Province increased clean coal output capacity by 1.1 Million metric tons (MT).
  • Puda Coal's total annual processing capacity is expected to reach 2.7 Million metric tons by early 2006.
  • Puda will have the largest cleaning capacity for top grade coking coal in Shanxi Province by early 2006.
  • Puda Coal reported revenue of $18.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, a 267% increase over Q3 2004, and nearly matching the Company's 2004 total revenue of $19.5 million.
  • The compounded annual growth rates of Puda's sales and earnings were 42% and 81%, respectively, from 2002 to 2004, and are projected to be 91% and 65%, respectively, from 2004 to 2007.



Corporate Overview

Puda Coal, Inc., through its affiliates and controlled entities, supplies premium grade coking coal to the steel making industry for use in making coke. The Company currently produces 500,000 metric tons of cleaned coking coal annually, and management believes it is one of the largest clean coal processing companies in terms of capacity in Shanxi Province, China. Shanxi Province provides 20-25% of China's coal output and supplies nearly 50% of China's coke. Steel is the backbone of the New China and is a key component of the rail systems, bridges, ports, airports, construction projects and car production spearheading China's economic growth. Puda Coal is perfectly positioned to satisfy the intense demand for the metal both now and as this growth continues. Puda enjoys a strong competitive advantage as one of Shanxi's lowest average cost producers because of its large capacity, processing know-how, facility operating efficiencies, and location in Shanxi's Liulin County - a region whose coal is know as China's "King of Coal." Puda's modern facilities adhere to Shanxi's emissions standards while producing consistent quality clean coking coal meeting steel makers' specifications. Puda Coal has direct access to an abundance of high quality raw coking coal through Jucai Coal, of which the Company's Chief Operating Officer is 75% owner, two related and two non-related party mines, and projects additional capacity to be purchased from a related party with a 10-year, $13 million deferred note. Puda has long-term business relationships with established customers, including coking companies and steel mills with their own coking facilities (e.g., Baotou Steel and Iron Group Co., Ltd., the 17th largest steel maker in China) and has signed supply contracts and indications of interest exceeding planned capacity from some of China's largest steel and chemical makers (e.g., Beijing Capital Steel & Iron, the second largest China steel maker, and Sinochem Corp., a 2005 Fortune Global 500 company). In November 2005, Puda Coal formally signed a supply contract with Changzhi Iron & Steel Company, Ltd., one of the largest state-owned steel manufacturers in Shanxi Province. Puda will provide Changzhi Iron & Steel with more than 40,000 metric tons each month or greater than 480,000 MT each year.
