Longhai Steel, Inc. (LGHS) Sees Itself as Being in the Best Place at the Best Time

If you’re a producer of steel wire and related products, there’s no better place in the world to be than China, the single biggest consumer of steel and steel wire in the world. And, in China, one of the best places to be is Hebei province, one of the largest steel manufacturing regions in China and close to Beijing. Hebei has all of the infrastructure in place, along with close proximity to distributors and end users.

The city of Xingtai, in Hebei, is the site of Longhai Steel, Inc., now one of China’s leading producers of high-quality steel wire, with an annual capacity of 1.5 million metric tons. Longhai’s wire goes directly to nearby manufacturers, where it is converted into an expanding list of products for the country’s construction, automotive, and infrastructure industries, with all its sales delivered in China:

• Screws
• Nails
• Wire mesh for fencing and reinforced concrete
• Wire rope
• Steel belted radial tires
• Welding rod

Longhai’s advanced production equipment, process technology, and its close proximity to distributors and end users provides it a clear competitive advantage. The company recently opened a second production line, upping overall capacity by 67% and expanding its product portfolio. Longhai has acquired land adjacent to the two existing plants for the future addition of a third production facility.

Longhai’s growth strategy is multi-faceted, including organic growth through careful capacity expansion, adding new products, improving operational efficiencies, and remaining a technological leader. The company also expects to capitalize on government actions that encourage industry consolidation by acquiring neighboring producers at attractive valuations. In addition, the ongoing economic development in Hebei province, and neighboring areas, along with the further buildout of tier 3-6 cities in China, represents a tremendous medium and long term opportunity for Longhai Steel.

New Western Energy Corp. (NWTR) Upgrades Swenson #1 to Increase Capacity, Texas Regional Hydrocarbon Strategy Comes into Focus

New Western Energy has assembled an impressive acreage position across some of NA’s hottest hydrocarbon regions (including Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas), constantly advancing the portfolio towards a larger and larger production envelope of oil, gas, and other minerals, and reported the start of a new drilling program down in Texas at their Swenson Lease today, geared primarily to expand on existing production.

President of NWTR, Javan Khazali, noted the one week window estimated to complete the workover program and hailed today’s announcement as another step towards realizing the full potential of the substantial acreage position built up in Texas by the company over the last year.

Swenson is a key part of a larger regional strategy by NWTR to secure a sizeable production platform in the Jones County area. The company’s adjacent Reves and McLellan leases, together with the Swenson, represent some 405-acres of prime territory in the heart of a region studded with productive wells, including the large Griffin Field (0.75 miles to the west) and the Iron Mountain/Avoca Pool Field (just 0.5 miles to the northeast), which have produced a combined 19.6M bbls to date.

The goal of the new work at Swenson will be to realize greater capacity in the Swenson #1 by deepening the well to 2,050 feet and running a treatment, thus increasing throughput from the pay zone. Since hitting the Swastika Sand target at Swenson back in the middle of 2011, the company has pulled roughly 2.6k bbls from the formation and the deeper Swenson #1 should amp up output nicely after work is completed.

We have a rich variety of formation targets accessible via the three leases, ranging from the Swastika Sand, to the Flippen Sand and Gunsight Lime, with formation depths of between 1k to 3k feet. In addition, we have the Moran Sand (sandstone channels) at 1.9-2k feet, Caddo Limestone at 3.6-3.8k feet, Mississippian Limestone at 3.8-3.9k feet, and Ellenberger at 4k-4.25k feet targeted by the company’s approximately 680-acre Moran Lease over in Shackelford County. Also in Shackelford is the roughly 580-acre Trice Lease, which has good footing for the King Sand formation at shallow depths of only 500-700 feet.

This data offers better context for today’s announcement and should clearly show investors NWTR’s hand, as the some 223.3k bbls in reserves (at 35% recovery on an estimated 744.8k bbls according to the independent geologist’s 2011 report) represented by the three Jones County leases is chief among the company’s Texas holdings and the ramped up drilling is part of an aggressive drive to maximize production in the region as a whole.

Khazali emphasized the potential of the sand and rock formations that fall within the purview of the company’s Texas Leases and assured shareholders that NWTR would take every step possible to generate mounting ROI via rigorous exploitation of the extremely favorable hydrocarbon characteristics in these formations. Activity in the workover program will be carried out by the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Royal Texan Energy Co. and anticipation runs high at Swenson that recovery efforts will be significantly enhanced by this new activity.

UTStarcom Holdings Corp. (UTSI) Completes Divestiture of IPTV Business

UTStarcom Holdings, a leading provider of broadband equipment and solutions, successfully closed the previously announced divestiture of its IPTV business. Along with the closing of the divestiture, Mr. William Wong has assumed the positions of UTStarcom’s Chief Executive Officer and director on the Board of Directors. In addition, Mr. Xiaoping Li, Lead Independent Director, has been elected as Chairman of the Board by the Directors of the company.

The decision to divest the IPTV business was announced in July 2012 as part of the Board’s plan to transition to higher growth and more profitable areas.

Mr. William Wong, stated, “I am honored and excited to lead UTStarcom through its business transformation and build a more growth oriented business. We have taken an important step in closing the IPTV divestiture, but it is only the first step. I look forward to working with the Board and management team to find new ways of providing value to our customers and generating returns for our shareholders.”

Mr. Wong brings more than 25 years of technology sector experience to the role as CEO. In previous roles, he served in many executive positions, including as Chief Executive Officer of Borqs International, which produces software platforms for mobile operators and chip manufacturers.

“We welcome Mr. Wong as UTStarcom’s new CEO,” added Mr. Li. “He has been instrumental in developing the strategic initiatives we have taken to date, and has demonstrated long-term thinking that will be invaluable in leading UTStarcom to new levels of success. Also, we thank Mr. Lu for his leadership and wish him every success in developing the IPTV business into a market leading technology and service provider.”

UTStarcom was founded in 1991 and listed on the NASDAQ in 2000. With a new management team in 2011, the company deployed a revamped growth strategy that concentrates on providing media operation support services. UTStarcom has its operational headquarters in Beijing, China, and research and development operations in China and India. UTStarcom is a leading provider of broadband equipment and solutions for cable and telecom operators.
