Reverse Merger Activity
On February 10, 2011 Ding Neng Bio-tech  became a public entity via a reverse merger transaction.

Company Snapshot:

engaged in the production, refinement and distribution of biodiesel fuel

Industry Snapshot:

  • China’s biodiesel industry is still in its infancy stage and dominated by small-scale operators using animal fats or used cooking oil as feedstock. In 2007, there were more than 2,000 biodiesel production plants in China, most of which were small scale producers making between 100 to 20,000 metric tons (“MT”) per year. However, the prospect of government support is attracting larger market entrants as well as foreign investment. Compared with the ethanol sector, the biodiesel industry is largely unregulated and there is significant involvement from the private sector.
  • The increase in biodiesel production in China is fueled by China’s rapid economic growth, which requires ever increasing use of transport fuel, estimated to grow at an annual rate of 5.1% through 2030. China now imports more than 50% of the oil products it consumes. The Chinese National Bureau of Statistics predicts that by 2020 it will import more than 60% of its oil. For reasons both economic and strategic, the PRC government has committed itself to increasing the supply of non-petroleum based transportation fuel in order to reduce its dependence on foreign oil. To date, ethanol has been the greatest beneficiary of this policy as it was the first mover in the Chinese biofuel industry, but ethanol competes with food supply for its feedstock, and the government has also placed a high priority on independence in food supply. As a result, the expansion of ethanol plants has been restricted. However, biodiesel has more feedstock options that do not compete with food supply (although it may compete for arable land in some places), and is often made from food refuse. Base on those characteristics, biodiesel is expected to enjoy a larger market share in the Chinese biofuel market in the near future.
  • During the past decade, the Chinese government has launched a series of policy initiatives in support of the biofuel market. In 2005, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress passed “The Renewable Energy Law of the People’s Republic of China”. The legislation aims to “promote the development and utilization of renewable energy, improve the energy structure, diversify energy supplies, safeguard energy security, protect the environment and realize the sustainable development of the economy and society.” This legislation states that fuel retail businesses must begin to include “biological liquid fuel”, or biofuels, in their enterprises or they will be fined.

Comments & Business Outlook

Our Growth Strategy


In the next three years, we seek to grow our business by pursuing the following strategies:

  • Enhance R&D efforts to improve biodiesel production technology and efficiency and to develop new biodiesel products (such as solid bio-fuel and other specialty bio-fuels);
  • Continue to search for and develop alternative feedstock (such as microalgae) to enhance the availability of raw materials; and
  • Strengthen relationships with key suppliers.

Reverse Merger Activity

On November 12, 2010, China INSOnline Corp. entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Ding Neng Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands holding company (“Ding Neng Holdings”), which owns (i) 100% of Ding Neng Bio-technology Co., Limited, a Hong Kong company, which owns (ii) 100% of Zhangzhou Fuhua Biomass Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a foreign investment enterprise organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, or PRC, and which has, through various contractual agreements (VIE), management control and the rights to the profits of Fujian Zhangzhou Dingneng Bio-technology Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC, which engages in the production, refinement and distribution of bio-diesel fuel in southern China. The Share Exchange Agreement provides for an acquisition transaction  in which the Company through the issuance of shares of Common Stock representing 85% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the closing of the Acquisition, will acquire 100% of Ding Neng Holdings. Ding Neng Holdings indirectly owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Fuhua, which has, through various contractual agreements (VIE), management control and the rights to the profits of Ding Neng Bio-tech and establishes Ding Neng Bio-tech as a variable interest entity, with Fuhua as the beneficiary.

In addition to the Acquisition, the Share Exchange Agreement requires that a reverse stock split precede the completion of the Acquisition. The reverse stock split is primarily because the NASDAQ Stock Market has indicated that based on the Company’s lack of business operations, it is categorized as a “public shell.” Based on this status, the post-acquisition entity must meet the initial listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market which requires a minimum bid price of $4.00 per share. To assist the post-acquisition entity in meeting this minimum bid requirement, the Company will effect a reverse stock split of a ratio between 1:20 and 1:40 prior to the consummation of the Acquisition.

Investor Alert
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company began winding down its operations. During the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company did not have any operating income. The weak economic market, which resulted in a significant decline in revenues of all areas of the Company’s business, led to the Company’s decision to wind down its operations. Thus, the Company currently has no business operations and is considered a shell company. Management is currently looking to either sell shares of the Company to a third party through a reverse acquisition or complete a business combination or other similar transaction.
