Qihang Equipment Company Limited
27 September 2012
Qihang Equipment Company Limited (Formerly China Wonder
Limited)
(The "Company" or "Qihang")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2012
Qihang (AIM:QIH) was admitted to AIM on 4(th) July 2011 via the
reverse acquisition of China Wonder Limited which had become a cash
shell in April 2011 following the disposal of its operating
businesses.
Qihang, based in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, Eastern China, is
a fast growing machine tool manufacturer including large lathe and
milling machines capable of creating huge components of greater
than one metre in diameter and sixty tonnes in weight. The Company
is one of the few businesses which can manufacture milling machines
for processing complicated screws used in the plastic and
petrochemical industry in China.
Financial Highlights
-- Cash at period end of RMB62 million (2011: RMB46 million)
-- Turnover down 14% to RMB118 million (2011: 137 million)
-- Gross profit for the period down by 26% to RMB28 million (2011: RMB38 million)
-- Profit from operations for the period is RMB1.5 million (2011: RMB16.4 million)
Chairman's Statement:
I am pleased to announce the interim results for Qihang
Equipment Company Ltd for the 6 months to June 30th 2012. The
Company made a loss of RMB 4,090,000 (approximately GBP400,000) for
the period on a turnover of RMB 117,773,000 (approximately GBP11.5
million). The loss arises from a reduction in sales due to the
prevailing market conditions within China. The results for the
first half of the year include a contribution of RMB14.8 million to
turnover and RMB3.8 million to gross profit from Zhenjiang Anda
Coal Mine Special Equipment Company ("ZACM") which was acquired in
January 2012. As these figures are materially below the
expectations of the directors when ZACM was purchased, we are
currently negotiating with the original owners to sell ZACM back to
them.
The trading of the Company has been disappointing so far this
year. The effect of the general slowdown within China and the
European debt crisis has been seen in both our home province of
Jiangsu and also within the Machine Tool Industry throughout China
and the rest of the world. Indeed, the Economic Department of the
British Embassy estimated that Jiangsu may have shown no growth at
all in the summer months.
We believe that we have maintained our market share during this
difficult period. We increased our sales network and now have over
300 sales distributors, an increase of 40% over last year.
Although the month of July was below expectations, August showed
an upturn in both deliveries and orders and September has started
well. We are cautiously optimistic that this positive trend will
continue for the rest of the year and are determined to demonstrate
an improved performance in the second half.

within China. During the period, ZACM has contributed to turnover
of approximate RMB14.8 million

machinery, large-scale machinery, coal mining equipment and
relevant spare parts which forms the group's main business. All the
activities are within P. R. China. Therefore management considers
no detail of the operating and geographical segments information is
to be reported.
7.05% (6 months ended 30 June 2011: 6.27%) of sales are made via
P. R. China agents to customers overseas.
