VANCOUVER, May 2 /CNW/ - China Keli Electric Company Ltd. (TSXV: ZKL) ("China Keli" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a significant long-term cooperation agreement with a well-known Shenzhen-listed company, JiangSu Dong Yuan Electrical (Stock No. 002074). Under this agreement, which extends through Dec. 30, 2013, Dong Yuan Electrical will purchase minimum 1,000 product units for switchgear per year with an average price per product unit of 12000RMB. This amounts to approximately C$1.8 million/year (based on current exchange rates) in new sales for China Keli for each of the next 3 years, and represents almost 15% of the current fiscal year's revenues. Management anticipates that Dong Yuan revenue proportion of China Keli's sales will decrease as China Keli's overall total revenues grow rapidly over the next few years, but the contract will still contribute significant base revenue and margins to China Keli's overall financial performance. Overall the contract is worth approximately C$5.4 million, and this could increase if the RMB strengthens as is expected.
Keli products have passed all required testing and evaluation with Dong Yuan, and Dong Yuan has been qualified as one of a small group of vendors to take part in certain major power grid projects of special importance to the power grid companies. China Keli will begin fulfillment of this contract effective immediately, and management believes that there is a reasonable opportunity to sell the entire year's planned target of 1,000 switches before the end of December 2011.
"This contract supports our multi-channel sales strategy," said Lou Meng Cheong, China Keli's CEO. "In addition to selling direct, selling our leading-edge products though other channels increases revenues, and margins won't be significantly affected, so we can look forward to substantial revenue and net income improvements." "Signing a C$5.4 million contract is an exciting achievement for China Keli," said Madame Wong, China Keli's Chairperson, "and we will continue to explore other similar opportunities."
