Ethanol sales perk up cassava planter by Sophie He, The Standard HK:-

Strong mainland demand has helped Asia Cassava Resources (0841) record a tenfold jump in net profit to HK$34 million for the six months ended September 30 compared with a year ago.

The basic earning per share was 11.3 HK cents. An interim dividend of 2 HK cents a share was declared.

The company, which listed in March, is Thailand's largest exporter of dried cassava chips. It is also the largest importer of the product in the mainland. Its market share in both countries is more than 30 percent.

Chief financial officer Shum Shing- kei said net profit from its core business registered 120 percent year-on- year growth in the first half.

The company is trying to buy more cassava from Southeast Asia to cope with growing demand from the mainland, particularly from ethanol fuel companies.

Dried cassava is one of the main ingredients in the manufacture of ethanol fuel, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

"The Chinese government encourages the business, so we are very confident about the future of our company," said executive director Jimmy Chan.

Currently, only 20 percent of the dried cassava imported by mainland from the company goes to ethanol fuel making.

"The percentage may reach 50 percent in a few years since the government of China is determined to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide," Chan said.

Yes, it's a worrying sign. Looks like someone is getting out on the good results.

Or maybe someone is trying to manipulate the price so that they can buy more ?

This on may need some stomach to go through the volatility.

Results and valuation are quite good though.

Cassava if you dont know, is "ubi kayu". So I may become an "ubi" if this one blow in my face :D :P :lol: :roll:

POSITIVE PROFIT ALERT

The board of directors (the “Board”) of Asia Cassava Resources Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is pleased to inform the shareholders and potential investors of the Company that after a preliminary review of the management accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”), it is expected that the profit of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2010 (the “Year”) would record a significant increase as compared with its profit for the previous year primarily due to a rapid growth in the Group’s core business driven by the persistent increase in demand for dried cassava chips from its customers in the PRC following the implementation of environmental policies in mainland China and the economic recovery.

The Group’s sales volume of dried cassava chips for the Year is more than double of that of the previous year while the Group’s revenue of dried cassava chips for the Year is also more than double of that of the previous year. In addition, the Group would have a fair value gain on revaluation of the Group’s investment properties for the Year.
