HF...now they have just been dealt some terrible news from one of their largest customers...........
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 20, 2013) - Hanfeng Evergreen Inc. (TSX:HF) ("Hanfeng" or the "Company"), a provider of value-add fertilizers in China and South East Asia, announced today that it has received a notice from Beidahuang Agricultural Company ("BAC"), the Company's major customer, announcing BAC's decision to cease purchasing products from the Company and to terminate all cooperation and business with Hanfeng.
The notice indicated that BAC's decision was based upon the inability of the privatization proposal initiated by Mr. Xinduo Yu, the Company's CEO, to be completed. As a result, the purchase of products from Hanfeng was terminated by BAC effective immediately. BAC stated that it intends to claim outstanding payables of BAC to Hanfeng as compensation for any potential losses associated with the purchase termination.
Historically, BAC has represented a significant portion of the Company's sales from its Heilongjiang facility, as well as a supplier of raw materials. In the original privatization proposal, the Company had stated that the prospect of BAC's termination of business with Hanfeng was a significant risk if the privatization was not completed.
The management of Hanfeng is considering the implications of the notice from BAC and considering all of its rights and alternative actions. It is unable to quantify the estimated economic impact at this time.
