SISM Research Initial Report On Carbon Friendly Solutions
July 29, 2009 (FinancialWire) (Investrend Research Syndicate) — Ernest C. Schlotter, a senior analyst with Zurich-based SISM Research and a four star analyst according to StarMine, has issued a 9-page initial report, rating and stock price target on bioenergy company Carbon Friendly Solutions, Inc., (TSX Venture: CFQ) (CDNX: CFQ.V) (OTC: CFQSF).
A complementary report is available for download via the Investrend Syndications website (http://www.investrendsyndications.net/resources/sism%20research/cfq). The full report includes important disclosures, disclaimers and analyst information. Investrend and the SISM Research both advise investors to exercise a reasonable degree of due diligence before trading in the equities of any public company, including carefully reading entire analyst reports and report disclosures, and then only in conjunction with advice from a registered financial advisor or broker. Investrend and the SISM Research both further advise that any analyst rating, recommendation, target valuation, price target or opinion should be considered merely a portion of an investor’s total investigative process.
According to the report:
“Carbon Friendly Solutions, Inc., (CFS) is a Vancouver-based bioenergy company focused on becoming a leading supplier of bioenergy products that are cost effective, carbon neutral, and qualify for carbon credits. CFS intends to manage a carbon credit portfolio that is focused on reforestation, biomass, and bioenergy technology projects that are independently verified to globally recognized standards and methodologies. CFS already generates revenue from selling carbon credits and is aggressively moving forward by entering the biomass energy fuel products markets, thus benefiting from multiple sources of revenue. In April 2009, CFS signed a LOI to form a joint venture with a well-established forest products company, with operations in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. This strategic joint venture allows CFS to gain control of feedstock supplies. CFS will jointly operate the planed new wood waste recycling and bioenergy production facility with its JV-partner and use its industry experience and network to obtain reliable access to feedstock required to operate the facility. We expect the Company to sell 73,000 tons of bioenergy briquettes from wood waste materials in FY2011, ramping up to 250,000 tons by FY2015. Revenues are expected to grow from $14.5 million for FYE June 30, 2011 to $59.0 million by FYE 2015. The worldwide demand for alternative energy is likely to grow exponentially over the next few decades as a major worldwide impetus is provided to reduce depletion of natural resources, reduce dependence on foreign oil, and use carbon-neutral fuel.”
Analyst Ernest Schlottter also said, “The Company will have to raise a significant amount of cash to reach our forecasts. We believe Carbon Friendly Solutions is a compelling opportunity for risk-tolerant investors”.
SISM Research valued the stock using their Discounted Cash Flow method to arrive at a long-term (12-18 month) price target, reflecting forward P/E multiples of 27.4x for their average estimated FYE 2011 EPS and FYE 2012 EPS, respectively, as well as and an estimated FYE 2012 Price-to-Book Value multiple of 2.9.
