SUMMARY FINANCIALS

"We are very pleased with our results for 2010, which included outstanding revenues and earnings growth and improved gross margin," stated Mr. Gao Ren, Chairman and CEO of China Linen. "As a leading producer and exporter of linen in China, we continued to expand markets and produce new and competitive products.  We were excited to see increases in demand from both domestic and international markets, for both linen fabric and linen yarn during the year. We were able to add almost 50 new direct customers and open up new markets including India and Turkey. Going forward, we will continue to penetrate European market, expand sales in new markets like India and Turkey, and increase sales domestically.

"2010 marked a number of milestones for China Linen. We completed the purchase of Lanxi Tianxianfang Linen Co., Ltd. which increased our linen yarn and linen fabric production capabilities and also included a bleaching factory, a critical addition to our production process as we aim to become vertically integrated throughout the entire value chain. In December, we commenced operations at our newly upgraded linen yarn dyeing facility to produce higher margin higher demand new products," Mr. Gao continued.

"We remain optimistic into 2011 as macro trends seem to continue to favor the linen industry. While pure linen products are usually considered higher-priced and higher-end products than traditional textile products, record high cotton and chemical fiber prices have closed the price gap between the two. With increased interest and demand for linen products globally, combined with our expanded production capacity and our new capabilities, we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities to gain market share in the linen industry," concluded Mr. Gao.

Fiscal Year 2011 Guidance

• revenue to be in the range of $58-63 million

   Although operating earnings were down, China Linen was still able to increase sales in a challenged economy while maintaining profitability. This is due to the company's high margin emphasis.

3. There is room for growth domestically. As the Chinese consumer standard of living improves so to will the demand for higher quality linen. Thus, China Linen's plans to increase domestic penetration. This strategic move allows the company to target a growing niche segment in a mature market. The company also has significant opportunities to grow via greater province coverage. Currently, China Linen covers 11 provinces, up from 9 provinces in 2008. In 2010, the company hopes to have market presence in 15 provinces.
   
   
4. Acceleration of growth due to greater involvement in the linen industry chain.

   "The linen industry chain involves a 5-step process including (i) raw material planting; (ii) fiber production; (iii) yarn spinning; (iv) fabric weaving and (v) dyeing and finishing. The company’s current operations are focused on only two of the steps in this process, yarn spinning and fabric weaving. In the future, the company plans to expand its operations to include other aspects of the industry chain including particularly dyeing and finishing."
   

   In our conversation with company management, they indicated that higher profit margins are the impetus for targeting the dyeing and finishing segments of the industry chain. The goal to cover the enitre industry chain may afford China Linen many years of growth. Margin and sales may also improve as it gains a competitive advantage through quicker customer delivery with a broader high quality product offering
   

5. The company has issued 2010 EPS guidance of $0.39 giving it a meager forward P/E of 2.82. The stock is also selling near its book value per share of $0.99. (Please note that the company's guidance is predicated upon the completion of a financing transaction. Normally we would wait for the financing to occur before coding as a GeoBargain. But the low relative valuation combined with confidence that the market will afford CTXIF a funding opportunity has prompted us to step outside the box.)

Note:

We are still awaiting management's response to a few questions including why operating cash flow was down from 2008 and if the company has any plans on paying down $4 million in short term debt.

Potential Valuation Scenarios if the company can achieve its EPS growth goals:

**Short-Term Potential value based on trailing EPS

P/E 15 * $0.23 = $3.45
P/E 20 * $0.23= $4.60

**Short-term Potential value based on 2009 EPS Guidance

P/E 10 * $0.39 = $3.90
P/E 15 * $0.39 = $5.85
