Dear Reader,
With oil prices at record highs, at last it appears that there is real interest in alternative fuels and energy. Most pragmatic speculators realize that real change is driven by economics not ethos, which occurs only when gas is so expensive that alternatives become financially attractive. So, we're scouring through market reports and hitting up our sources looking for real deals in this space.
Today's featured company New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. (NasdaqCM: NOEC) may be as 'real' as they come, with a diversified business plan and a shiny new NASDAQ listing. It doesn't hurt that they are positioned to service the massive, white hot Chinese market either.

The New Oriental Energy story is about GREEN ENERGY and AMAZING 1st quarter financial progress (June 30, 2007).
But the best way to introduce NOEC is to let some pictures do the talking...

New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. ("New Oriental" "NOEC") is an emerging alternative fuel and specialty chemical manufacturer based in Henan Province, the People's Republic of China. New Oriental, which was incorporated in 2003 and is headquartered in Xinyang, China is focused on the production of Dimethyl ether (DME), methanol and fertilizer products. The company expects to begin production of bio-diesel within the next year.
The Company will sell its products primarily through a network of distribution partners that will service the ever-growing demands of cleaner energy in China and will export its products through the same network to countries around the world.
NOEC, through its subsidiary, Henan Jinding Chemical Co., Ltd., ("Henan") offers urea and coal-based chemicals, including ammonium bicarbonate and liquid ammonia for nitrogenous fertilizers and raw materials of chemical products; methanol, which is used for the production of medicine, pesticide, dye, plastic, synthetic protein, fiber, formaldehyde, and methyl ether; and dimethyl ether that is used as an additive for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and non-industrial fuel substitute to LPG and for residential and automotive uses, and as a refrigerant for refrigerators and air conditioners. Henan serves chemical, pharmaceutical, light, and textile industries.
To emphasize the depth of experience in NOEC's management team,
Mr. Ben Wang was appointed CFO in early April, 2007 and here is a glimpse at his credentials
Mr. Ben Wang, age 34, has experience in public company analysis, qualitative and quantitative financial analysis, including modeling and forecasting. Most recently he was an equity research analyst at the Beijing offices of Brean Murray Carret Co., Ltd., a boutique institutional investment bank and research firm. Prior to that he did risk solutions consulting for Standard and Poor's, and was a senior equity research analyst for Century Securities Co. Mr. Wang earned his Ph. D. from the Department of Decisions, Risk & Operations Management at Columbia Business School in New York, NY in 2003. He was awarded an M.E. in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University in Beijing and a B.E. in Electronic Engineering from Chengdu's University of Electronic Science & Technology of China.
Chen Siqiang, Chief Executive Officer...
"We believe Mr. Wang will be an excellent addition to our senior management team. We anticipate fiscal 2008 to be an inflection point for the Company as alternative fuels begin to comprise a larger and growing portion of our revenue base. Mr. Wang will continue to improve and integrate new financial controls to improve reporting and analysis as our organization pursues this growth strategy. Mr. Wang's engineering background and experience in the public markets will benefit our Company's ability to articulate its story to the investment community, establish and maintain relationships with key institutional investors and sell side analysts, which should create further diversification of our shareholder base."
Since his appointment, Mr. Wang has been introducing the company to the financial community of the U.S. markets and as the news release below points out, he was in New York less than two weeks ago talking with analysts, investment bankers and equity market specialists.

CHINA and the GREEN ENERGY MARKET |
 |
In January 2006, the Chinese government introduced the Renewable Energy Law in an effort to reduce the country’s reliance on oil imports and to increase the uptake of alternative fuels. China aims to use 6.7 million tonnes of ethanol and 11 million tonnes of biodiesel by 2010, meeting 10 percent of its forecast transport fuel demand. China, the world's second largest energy consumer, has issued a package of policies, including risk reserves, subsidies and tax breaks, to encourage the development of the bio-energy and bio-chemical industries in the country to stave off energy crisis.
The results from the 1st Annual World Environment Review, published on June 5, 2007 revealed that,
in a sample of 1024 Chinese people there concerns were:
- 88% are concerned about climate change.
- 97% think their Government should do more to tackle global warming.
- 63% think that China is too dependent on fossil fuels.
- 56% think that China is too reliant on foreign oil.
- 91% think that a minimum 25% of electricity should be generated from renewable energy sources.
Chen Siqiang, Chief Executive Officer...
"We are actively soliciting orders from customers in advance of the pending completion of our DME production facility expansion and believe we will be able to quickly utilize our new capacity to exponentially increase revenue. At the end of 2006 it was estimated that in total there was only 300,000 tons of DME production capacity throughout China. Recently industry experts have estimated that growth in demand for DME in China alone would increase at a 66 percent CAGR over the next nine years to 28.9 million tons of demand annually.
Supporting this trend is the fact that China is a net importer of LPG and purchases approximately 27 percent of its total current consumption from International sources while consuming approximately 24 million tons in 2007 equating to $16 billion in total sales. With our first mover advantage, 150,000 tons of available DME capacity, limited competition and superior product offering in comparison to LPG, we are well positioned to capitalize on this large market opportunity as consumers look to purchase DME rather than LPG. Based on these trends we anticipate that we will continue to post meaningful revenue and net income growth throughout the balance of this year."
and his estimation was correct...

New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corporation Announces New DME Contracts
With Several Industry Leading Distributors
New Contracts Represent Approximately $4.3 Million in Future Quarterly Revenue
Additional DME Capacity Set to Contribute Ahead of Previous Schedule
NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 6, 2007 -- New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corp. (NasdaqCM:NOEC - News), a specialty chemical and emerging alternative fuel manufacturer in The People's Republic of China (PRC), today announced the Company has secured several new DME contracts while commencing production of the Company's new DME facility ahead of schedule.
As part of the Company's increase in DME capacity from 50,000 tons of annual production capacity to 150,000 tons, management has been actively building a pipeline of new contracts with major distributors in the region. The Company has been awarded a total of $4.3 million in new monthly contracts, which is expected to begin contributing to revenue in the second fiscal quarter of this year. To December 2007, 90% of the total output had been pre-ordered by the customers. New customers include Xin-Ao Group, Jing-Zhou-Long Teng Group and Luo-Yang-Er-Yun. These orders represent initial purchase commitments and management expects to solicit both follow on orders from these customers in addition to new perspective distribution agreements in the near term.
To meet this demand, management has begun to utilize the additional 100,000 tons of capacity beginning in August, ahead of the previously stated September launch. DME production in August was estimated to be approximately 8,000 tons and is expected to increase to 10,000 tons per month by the end of September. Going forward, management will look to increase monthly DME production capacity to approximately 10,500 tons of DME output which under an ideal operating capacity scenario would equate to approximately $57 million in full year revenue at current market prices.
Demand for DME remains strong given the measurable discount in price in relation to liquid petroleum gas (LPG) for use in home heating and cooking and to diesel for commercial and residential vehicles. In addition to the lower cost, DME holds many other significant benefits such as reduced emissions, increased energy efficiency and ease of use.
"We are pleased to report that we are ahead of schedule in launching production of our new DME facility while securing new orders to ensure the highest utilization of our assets," commented Mr. Chen Si Qiang, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "With our move to 150,000 tons of available DME capacity we believe we are one of the largest producers in China. Given the Country's insatiable appetite towards energy consumption and a desire to reduce dependency on foreign oil by the Central Government in addition to mounting environmental concerns we believe New Oriental is well positioned to capture a large percentage of this future growing business as DME gains momentum in the market. We look forward to showing traction on these initiatives when we report our second quarter results in mid November," concluded Mr. Qiang. more

Financial Highlights For NOEC |

SYMBOL: NOEC
RECENT PRICE: $6.12 (10-24-07)
The Redchip Independent Review in Feb 2007
"We believe that NOEC is well-positioned to benefit from the favorable trend in its core business (fertilizers) while capitalizing on the growing opportunity of the alternative fuel market.
We believe that NOEC is attractively valued in relation to the industry average. Since the company operates in two industries, we believe that it is more appropriate to use the average of the figure derived from the agricultural chemical industry and specialty chemical industry as the basis for our valuation. The company is embarking on several large investment projects to expand its production capacity while developing new alternative fuels similar to DME and methanol. NOEC is already in the process of developing biodiesel and expects to add 300,000 tons of annual production to its product mix in the next three years. On the basis of the favorable market outlook and the company's aggressive expansion strategy, we expect that its revenue will grow at an annually compounded rate of 50.31% for the next two years. We expect that earnings will grow at an annually compounded rate of 57.81% in the same period. On the basis of the company's potential for growth, we generate a 12-month target price of $8.75, which translates into a forward P/E of 20.8x projected earnings for FY07.''

- -- Alternative Fuel Revenue Increased 63% to $4.5 million
- -- Annual DME production capacity to double with completion of plant expansion in September
NOEC reported record revenues of $14.7 million compared to $9.2 million in the year ago period, representing an increase of 59.9 percent. Revenue growth primarily resulted from increased sales of both Urea and Dimethyl Ether (DME) driven by strong market demand and increased production capacity.
Revenues from the Company's core fertilizer and chemical business increased 58.6 percent to $10.2 million
"We posted a record first quarter and benefited from growth in both our core Urea business and sales of emerging alternative fuels," stated Mr. Chen Si Qiang, New Oriental Energy & Chemical Corporation's Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter we sold over 10,000 tons of DME and over 41,000 tons of Urea, both quarterly records as demand remained strong for our products.
"DME is commonly being substituted for Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) due to its lower cost and comparable efficiency; and Urea sales benefited from increased domestic consumption as farmers work to increase production from shrinking available arable land across China.
"We believe these trends will remain favorable as we continue to increase our marketing
and sales efforts to fully utilize our pending increase in capacity."
