DEERFIELD BEACH, FL - December 23, 2011 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) - China Direct Industries, Inc. (the "Company") ( NASDAQ:CDII), a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial products in China and the Americas in two core business segments, announced today its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
  • Fiscal 2011 revenue reaches $187.8 million up 66.6% from fiscal 2010
  • Fiscal 2011 net income attributable to China Direct Industries rises to $9.3 million up from a loss of ($3.2 million) in fiscal 2010
  • Fiscal 2011 Diluted EPS climbs to $0.25 compared to a loss of ($0.11) in fiscal 2010
Financial Highlights
For the full year of fiscal 2011 total revenues increased to $187.8 million, an increase of 66.6% compared to total revenues of $112.7 million recorded in fiscal 2010. Our gross profit reached $19.5 million, up 171.1% compared to gross profit of $7.2 million recorded in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit margins improved to 10.4% in fiscal 2011, an increase of 63% compared to gross margins of 6.4% in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2011, our operations resulted in net income attributable to China Direct Industries of $9.3 million compared to a net loss of ($3.2 million) recorded in fiscal 2010. Earnings per basic share reached $0.26 in fiscal 2011 on 36.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. Earnings per diluted share were $0.25 in fiscal 2011 on 36.8 million weighted average shares. This compares to a net loss of ($0.11) per basic and diluted share in fiscal 2010 on 29.6 million weighted average shares outstanding.
We experienced significant growth across all of our business segments reflecting stronger demand in the end markets we service as well as revenue contribution from our Ruiming Magnesium acquisition, our consulting segment and our international commodities business. In our magnesium segment, revenue reached $99.9 million, an increase of 95.3% from fiscal 2010 where revenue was $55.1 million. The increase in revenues is attributable to both an increase in shipment volume as well as an increase in the average sale price of our magnesium products. We shipped 36,637 metric tons during fiscal 2011, up 68.2% from shipments of 21,786 metric tons of magnesium products in fiscal 2010. Average sale price of our magnesium products per ton increased to $2,703 in fiscal 2011, up 15.1% from $2,348 in fiscal 2010 as magnesium prices incrementally improved throughout fiscal 2011. The improvement in average sales price and volumes enabled our magnesium segment to achieve net income attributable to China Direct Industries of approximately $243,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2011, gross profit for this segment was $3.2 million, inclusive of $2.5 million in depreciation expenses, an increase of 81.9% compared to gross profit of $1.8 million, inclusive of $1.3 million in depreciation, recorded in fiscal 2010. Our magnesium operations resulted in an operating loss of ($865,000), inclusive of $4.3 million in depreciation related expenses. This compares to fiscal 2010 operating loss of ($897,000), inclusive of $2.6 million in depreciation related expenses. In our basic materials segment overall revenue increased to $68.9 million, a 17.2% improvement from the $58.8 million recorded in fiscal 2010. Gross profit for this segment reached $3.8 million, an increase of 22.5% from fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues and gross profit was largely driven by sales of iron ore from our U.S. based industrial commodities business. Operating income for our basic materials segment in fiscal 2011 was $129,000, compared to $174,000 recorded in the same period of prior year. Total revenues in our consulting segment in fiscal 2011 rose to $19.0 million, up from $2.8 million in fiscal 2010. Gross profit for this segment totaled $12.5 million compared to $2.3 million recorded in the fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues and gross profit for this segment was mostly attributable to fees earned for consulting services provided to two new clients during fiscal 2011. Operating income for our consulting segment improved to $7.3 million from an operating loss of ($3.5 million) recorded in fiscal 2010.
Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2011, total assets were $116.0 million and shareholder equity was $68.0 million with 40.4 million shares outstanding. At September 30, 2010, total assets were $95.9 million and shareholder equity of $50.2 million with 31.7 million shares outstanding. At September 30, 2011 cash and cash equivalents were $12.6 million with prepaid expenses of $14.4 million as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $10.1 million with $8.6 million in prepaid expenses at September 30, 2010. Working capital improved to $44.5 million compared to $30.3 million at September 30, 2010.
The overall environment in our various segments strengthened throughout fiscal 2011 and we now look to build on our momentum in fiscal 2012. While we experienced some cyclical softness in magnesium demand toward the end of calendar 2011, we entered fiscal 2012 with magnesium prices significantly higher than in the early part of fiscal 2011. Management believes that we have positioned our company to take a major step forward in this segment in 2012 through our planned acquisitions as well as through our use of cleaner more efficient waste gas. We anticipate that overall supply in China will be constricted later in fiscal 2012 and into fiscal 2013, as competitors using coal for fuel remain under pressure from environmental regulations and energy costs. We are also confident that our efforts in our industrial commodities business will lead to progressive revenue growth throughout fiscal 2012 as we have cleared regulatory hurdles in Mexico and South America to deliver commodities on a continuous basis into China. Through this business, along with our consulting and magnesium operations, we enter fiscal 2012, poised to build a more global company with revenue streams in China as well as the Americas. We intend to evaluate additional opportunities in the U.S. and abroad to further diversify our revenue base geographically. We anticipate an improvement in our performance in fiscal 2012 as we continue to build our company for the future. We will further discuss our operating results as well as our outlook for fiscal 2012 during the conference call today, December 22, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. EST.
Commenting on our results for fiscal 2011, Dr. James Wang, Chairman and CEO of China Direct Industries, Inc., stated, "Fiscal 2011 marked a return to profitability for China Direct Industries. We achieved significant growth across all of our business segments and moved forward with consolidation plans in our magnesium segment and our international expansion into North and South America through our industrial commodities business. The progressive improvement in our magnesium segment, where shipments and average pricing increased throughout the fiscal year, enabled this segment to return to bottom line profitability in the fourth quarter. We added a new international revenue stream through the commencement of sales of iron ore, sourced from Mexico into China, and are working diligently to build on the relationships we have forged in Chile and Bolivia to rapidly grow our commodities business throughout fiscal 2012. The current environment for Chinese companies publicly trading in the U.S. has created opportunities for our consulting segment and we are currently aggressively marketing our services both in China and the U.S. We believe our efforts will enable this segment to continue to be a strong driver of growth for our company in fiscal 2012. As we move into the future, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and look to improve performance through internal growth and international business expansion to position China Direct Industries to build on our strong performance in fiscal 2011."

Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI) Partners With Federal Realty Investment Trust to Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at Retail Sites Nationwide

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - December 20, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CCGI.OB), a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging services, and Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) announced today a partnership to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Federal Realty's portfolio of 18.6 million square feet of high quality retail assets in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and California.
"Besides the obvious environmental benefits, a big advantage of electric cars will be the ability to conveniently fuel your vehicle when you're already stopped somewhere on your daily routine," said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of Car Charging Group. "Because of its prime locations across the nation, Federal Realty's unique retail and mixed use destinations serve as popular gathering places within the communities, making them perfect locations to top off your EV battery while you shop or dine."
During the first phase of the program, EV charging stations will be installed at the following Federal Realty Investment Trust properties:
  • Santana Row in San Jose, California
  • Bethesda Row in Bethesda, Maryland
  • Congressional Plaza and Rockville Town Square in Rockville, Maryland
  • Pentagon Row and The Village at Shirlington in Arlington, Virginia
At these locations, Car Charging Group will install Level II, 240-volt, EV charging stations, manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, the leading EV charging solutions company. Users will have access to the ChargePoint(R) Network, the largest global online network connecting EV drivers to unoccupied charging stations. Car Charging Group will provide its customers with flexible payment options, and the ability to make reservations, as well as track customer usage patterns, energy use, costs and revenues, all via the ChargePoint Network's cloud-based software service plans for managing EV charging operations. Through the network, EV drivers benefit from ChargePoint mobile apps (iPhone, Blackberry and Android), mapping services and driver support services.
"Federal Realty is committed to running our business in a socially responsible manner that balances our consideration for the environment with creating long-term value for our shareholders," said Mike Kelleher, director of asset management of Federal Realty. "The partnership with Car Charging Group to install EV charging stations is the next step in the continual greening of our operations, which already includes the creation of biofuels through recycled oil and grease waste from restaurants at our Bethesda Row mixed-use development, LEED certifications at many of our recent developments as well as numerous energy efficiencies and minimized usage of natural resource at a number of properties throughout the portfolio."
"This is an exciting partnership as it further expands our nationwide EV charging network," said Brian Golomb, director of sales for Car Charging Group, Inc. "These are also high-profile properties, which will bring even further awareness to the importance of EVs in the evolving U.S. transportation system."
About Car Charging Group, Inc.:
Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI.OB), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is the pioneer and one of the nation's fastest growing providers of EV charging services. Our ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. Our strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. After strategically assessing the most suitable and visible locations with our facility partners, we install and maintain the EV charging stations at no cost to our partners. Our partners benefit by sharing in the revenue generated from the EV charging stations while enhancing green initiatives throughout their business operations. Since we launched operations in 2009, we have developed contractual relationships with 29 leading partners that own more than 6.4 million parking spots. More than one million plug-in electric vehicles, such as the Nissan LEAF, GM Chevrolet Volt, Fisker Karma, Tesla Model S, Ford Focus EV as well as many others, are expected to be on the road in the U.S. by 2015 with estimates calling for more than 40 million on the road worldwide in 2030.

China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) News:  Magnesium Batteries Could Establish US Leadership in EV BatteryMarket

POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for investors, reports on new developments in high efficient magnesium batteries.
Magnesium production and demand has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, and now a global need for green vehicle solutions may spike the demand even further.
Hoping to be first to market with a magnesium battery for electric cars, Pellion Technologies, Inc (www.pelliontech.com) is developing low-cost rechargeable Magnesium Batteries with high energy density.
Competing with lithium-ion batteries, magnesium batteries will potentially be cheaper, more efficient and also address a new issue that has come to surface – safety.
According to the Advanced Research Projects Agency at the US Department of Energy site, "Pellion Technologies, an MIT spin-out company, will develop inexpensive high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries with the potential to disrupt current energy storage technologies for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. To develop a game-changing 33 magnesium-ion battery, Pellion will leverage high throughput computational materials design, coupled with accelerated materials synthesis and electrolyte optimization, to identify new high-energy density magnesium cathode materials and compatible electrolyte chemistries. If successful, this project will develop the first commercial magnesium-ion battery and will establish U.S. technological leadership in this exciting new high energy battery chemistry for electrified vehicle applications."
With US auto sales improving and global demand and pressure to address climate change with green automotive solutions, magnesium producer China Direct Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII) , is positioned with a substantial lead in market share of supplying pure magnesium and will be a key player in the green roads of the future.
China Direct Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII), is a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas and provides business and financial consulting services. Headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida with corporate offices in Shanghai, China Direct Industries' unique infrastructure provides a platform to expand business opportunities globally while effectively and efficiently accessing the U.S. capital markets.

China Stock News; A Potential Ground Floor Opportunity with China America Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB: CAAH)

POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, publishes an industry overview and growth opportunities for China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH), a company positioned in the interior tile industry in China for both residential and commercial markets.
A Potential Ground Floor Opportunity with China America Holdings, Inc
By: Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.
China America Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB: CAAH). is a holding company which owns a 100% stake in Ziyang Ceramics Co., Ltd. based in Zhucheng city of Shandong Province in China. Ziyang Ceramics Co., Ltd. manufactures porcelain tiles used for interior residential and commercial flooring and sells through a distribution network of more than 150 distributors across 10 provinces concentrating on major second and third tier cities located primarily in Eastern and Central China.
As an indication of the CAAH growth opportunity, following are comments and forecasts on the key markets and trends for Chinese real estate in general and for ceramic tiles in particular.
Cushman & Wakefield estimates 35% Commercial Real Estate Development Growth for Q1 2011: “Chinese real estate market has gone through a year of stringent controls in 2010. In the first quarter of 2011, the commercial property market in China witnessed new highs in the office, retail, industrial and investment markets. In the first two months of 2011, total volume of investment in real estate development grew by 35% year-on-year. Despite the government's tightening control of the property market, the pace of the real estate development in China is still accelerating.”
SouFun Holdings Limited America (NYSE: SFUN) reports record revenue for Q3 2011: As another indicator of the growth of the Chinese real estate market, SouFun, which operates the leading real estate internet portal and home furnishing and improvement website in China, continues to report substantial growth. For Q3 11, SFUN reported that quarterly revenue of $109 million nearly doubled over Q3 10. The Company also reported that revenue grew 116% from 2008 - 2010. Marketing generated 75% of SFUN 2010 revenue, and includes traditional Internet advertisements such as banners, links, logos and floating signs, as well as featured promotions. As an illustration of the types of operators that are active in the real estate sector, SFUN reports that its customers consist of the types of customers also likely to be tile purchasers, including:
  • real estate developers
  • real estate professionals, such as agents and brokers
  • retailers and other suppliers of home furnishing and improvement products and services
  • home design, decoration and re-modeling companies
  • banks offering residential mortgage loan products
Growth in China's Tile Market: Mohawk Industries (NYSE: MHK), a leading U.S. flooring company, estimates that China's tile market grew 15.6% annually from 2005 to 2009, when annual sales reached 59,200 sq. ft. in sales in China.
China Ceramics Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: CCCL) Forecasts Net Increase in Urban Residential Building Stock in 10 Chinese Cities as Equal to or Greater than the Existing Residential Building Stock of Some European Countries: While the degree of growth cited by Cushman & Wakefield leads some to believe that the Chinese real market is strong and growing, this rapid growth has caused others to ask whether the Chinese real estate market is a bubble. This question was the subject a recent Time magazine article in which the possibility of a Chinese real estate bubble was argued to be as important an economic question as the future of the Euro and whether the U.S. re-enters a recession.
While the growth of the Chinese real estate market may be unprecedented, the massive rural to urban migration continues as some estimates forecast that 400 million more Chinese citizens will urbanize over the coming decades. While the market's ability to address this massive historical and current growth may be uncertain in the near term, and the impact of PRC monetary and fiscal policy on the market also is uncertain, the longer term trend towards a massive continuing wave of urbanization seems clear.
As one example of the potential for companies whose products supply this urbanization, the following data from China Ceramics Co. Ltd. illustrates the magnitude of the opportunity. Citing sources including the Economist Intelligence Unit, National Bureau of Statistics (China), and UNECE, CCCL's September 2011 Investor Presentation provides the following comparison for growth in Chinese cities relative to ten European nations:
Forecast of Net Increase
2011 - 2020
Existing Residential
Building Stock
Chongqing 1,109 Poland 807
Chengdu 447 Greece 494
Zhengzhou 396 Portugal 424
Tianjin 389 Sweden 411
Beijing 350 Czech Rep. 369
Xi'an 279 Romania 366
Changsha 272 Switzerland 352
Shanghai 271 Hungary 319
Shenzhen 265 Austria 318
Dongguan 234 Denmark 282
a. all data in mm sq. meters
b. Figures are for urban areas within referenced prefecture/municipality.
c . Chongqing municipality's unusually large increase partly reflects its large size compared with other prefectures.
Although it may or may not be the case that China's real estate market has grown too much too fast, a longer term view seems to support the argument that a massive wave of urbanization is likely to continue, and this creates a broad range of commercial opportunity. With a reported $12 million in revenue for Q3 11 representing a 39% year over year increase, and a network of 150 distributors in 10 Chinese provinces, China America seems to be in position to take advantage of the long-term Chinese real estate and tile market trends.
