LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Starwood Research Institute announced today that it has initiated active coverage of China Holdings Inc. (OTC:CHHL) (BULLETIN BOARD: CHHL) , an emerging player in the fast-growing Chinese market for non-coal-fired electricity. In a Starwood Research Analyst Note, the Stephen Mauzy, CFA noted that CHHL appears on track to meeting its 2008 revenue objectives and is progressing toward meeting its long-term goal of building its biomass and hydroelectric power production capacity to 3200 megawatts by 2013. Furthermore, the company's strategic investments in mineral assets is seen as a risk-mitigating factor. Key value drivers: -- Hydroelectric power in China offers both high growth prospects and high potential profit margins; Ms. Lu expects hydro revenue to rise to $300 million in the next five years at a net margin of up to 90%. -- Recent Chinese government subsidies provide relatively attractive financing terms for biomass projects. CHHL is targeting $397 million in annual revenue and net profit margins of 38% by 2013. -- CHHL recently paid $40 million for a 100% stake in Tong Ren Kai Yu Minerals, giving it control over various mining properties and permits.
