Shine Media Acquisition Reports Record Q2 2008 Financial Results of Its Acquisition Candidate - On-Track to Exceed Its 2008 Earnings Guidance of $27 Million
SHANGHAI, China-(Business Wire)-August 27, 2008 - Shine Media Acquisition Corp. (OTCBB:SHND)(OTCBB:SHNDW)(OTCBB:SHNDU) ("Shine") today announced the unaudited financial results of its acquisition candidate, China Greenscape Co., Ltd. (“China Greenscapeâ€) and its wholly owned Chinese operating subsidiary, Jiangsu Sunshine Zoology and Forestry Development Co., Ltd. (“Sunshineâ€), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 (see attached tables).
As previously noted, on May 9, 2008, Shine announced that it signed a definitive stock purchase agreement to acquire 100% of China Greenscape, the British Virgin Islands Company that owns 100% of Sunshine. Sunshine, founded in 2002, is one of the largest providers of greenery to China’s growing cities and development zones and is positioned to become one of the largest forest product companies in China in the next 5 years. The company currently has over 18,600 mu (3,100 acres) of growing area and possesses an inventory of over 8 million trees and plants.
Comments from China Greenscape’s CEO
Mr. Henry Zhu, China Greenscape’s CEO, commented, “We are excited to report that during the first half of 2008 we experienced a substantial increase in revenue, margins and earnings and, based on projected timelines associated with our ongoing projects, we are on-track to exceed our 2008 earnings guidance of $27 million. With our existing backlog and a strong pipeline of new contracts, we anticipate that our growth will accelerate in 2009 and that we will exceed our 2009 earnings guidance of $37 million.
China is experiencing a massive migration of citizens from rural to urban areas which has created a tremendous demand for new developments and cities. Over 350 million people are expected to move from China’s rural areas to its cities in the next 20 years and the government expects that at least 20 new cities, equivalent or greater in size to Denver, will be created each year to accommodate this massive migration. The PRC government has mandated that all cities are to be designed with considerable open space and ‘greenery’, not only for aesthetic and beautification purposes, but also to help combat pollution. This exciting situation continues to create significant demand for our greenery products.â€
Mr. Zhu continued, “China’s greenery market is a very unique, high-growth market that is being fueled by the massive infrastructure expansion of its cities at a magnitude the world has never experienced before. Our business model is designed to meet the large-scale greenery demand generated by this massive infrastructure expansion. We are one of a select few companies in all of China that has the scale and agricultural expertise to supply millions of trees and plants to meet the greenery needs of entire cities and development zones. Most other companies involved in this fragmented market can only supply a few hundred trees and plants at a time to small areas within a city and, unlike China Greenscape, are typically not a ‘safe’ and reliable choice for city planners whose job is at risk if the city development is not done on-time and to the specs provided.
In addition to our 18,600 mu [3,100 acres] of growing area, we have the largest botanical laboratory in China and 96 mu [16 acres] of greenhouses, which gives us the unique ability to develop extremely low-cost trees and plants through cloning and other proprietary techniques. This in-house tree and plant production capability, combined with our operational scale, allows us to enjoy healthy gross margins of well over 50%, which we expect will continue into the foreseeable future.
We look forward to closing the merger with Shine and becoming a U.S. publicly listed company.â€
