EX-99 2 ex991.txt Sunwin International Neutraceuticals Issues Corporate Update for Business Outlook for Fiscal Year of 2008 Qufu, China, August 20, 2007 - (Market Wire) - Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: SUWN), a leader in the production and distribution of Chinese herbs, veterinary medicines and one of the world's leading producers and distributors of all natural, zero calorie Stevia in China, today announced management's recap of fiscal 2007 and its business outlook for fiscal year ended April 30, 2008. In the fiscal year 2007, we made significant capital investments for the future of our company and achieved several major milestones as follows: - Completed $4.2 million private equity offering. - Completed construction of new stevia manufacturing facilities. The new facilities will yield 1 ton of premium stevia (A360) per day or an estimated 300 tons per year. - Launched and branded our OnlySweet product lines in the U.S. markets. OnlySweet products are currently available over 3,000 grocery stores in the U.S. - Developed 5 new Chinese herb-based products. We anticipate these products will receive approval from the government for sale in China this fiscal year. - Developed new veterinary feeds that are based on residue from stevia production. The new veterinary feeds will be ready for marketing in the 2008 fiscal year. We believe the deployment of our capital for investing in the future will yield significant rewards in the years to come for our company and its shareholders. We are confident that we have laid a strong foundation for substantial growth in the fiscal year of 2008. Management currently sees the following fiscal 2008 outlook for its divisions as follows: - Stevia Production: We expect to reach a production capacity of 500 to 600 tons of stevia in fiscal 2008. That translates to $15 to 18 million in annual revenues with an estimated 15% net profit margin should that production be sold out at current price levels. We are also in the early planning stages to increase capacity in fiscal 2008 by adding one additional facility capable of producing 150 tons (A380) stevia. When complete, that capacity if sold at current price levels, would translates into $12 million in annual revenues with 20% net profit margin. - OnlySweet Products: We expect OnlySweet products will be available in over 6,000 to 7,000 grocery stores in the U.S. during fiscal 2008. Initial sales response is very encouraging and we estimate that sales could reach as high as a $12 million annualized run rate by the end of fiscal 2008 subject to the timing of store launches and customer acceptance. We feel confident that profit margins for this line should be in the 30% range. - Veterinary Medicine and Feeds: We expect our medicines and feeds to experience growth of about 30% to approximately $4.2 million in revenues with 9% net profit in fiscal 2008. We expect to launch stevia-based veterinary feeds in the coming month and depending upon timing of launch and acceptance the revenue contribution could reach a run rate of $12 million by the end of this fiscal year with significantly higher gross margins. - Chinese Herb Medicine: We anticipate significant growth in this division subject to the timing of approvals in China. Growth from this division could be as high as 50% which could yield approximately $5.4 million in revenues with 10% net profit margins in the fiscal year should approvals and launches happen as we project. Laiwang Zhang, President, and Chairman of Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, commented "We have made strong financial commitments in fiscal 2007 which we believe will surface in the company's 2008 performance. While these investments contributed to a decline in our overall results for 2007, we are confident that they will significantly enhance our prospects for fiscal year 2008 and beyond. We continue to develop new products in order to expand our offerings in the market place and are confident that fiscal 2008 will be a strong year based on the decisions made in 2007."
