LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Research announced today that it has initiated active coverage of EastBridge Investment Group Corp. (OTC:EBIG) (BULLETIN BOARD: EBIG) , a private equity and IPO consulting firm focused on bringing a solid pipeline of small Asian companies to Western markets. In his inaugural Starwood Research Analyst Note on EBIG, Andrew G. White, CFA wrote that EBIG's role as "U.S. tollbooth for underserved, proven Chinese companies" could realize CEO Keith Wong's ambition of creating a diversified portfolio of high-quality Asian holdings for not only the company but U.S.- based shareholders. "If EBIG delivers, they will deliver big." Key value drivers: -- EBIG is working within a vast and almost entirely undiscovered "Asian barrel" of roughly 400,000 potential clients in China and India alone. This allows the company to concentrate on only the most tempting opportunities. As CFO Norm Klein notes, clients are not start-ups; instead, "they are already generating revenue [and] good cash flow." -- Plans to take portfolio companies to Western markets could unlock substantial value; management expects multiple client IPOs in 2008 to deliver a revenue stream in the $10 million to $20 million range. Given current market cap and nominal burn rate, a run rate on this scale (possibly $0.37 per share in 2009) could prove transformative. -- "Conservative" management team continues to demonstrate its ability to sign up corporate customers, most recently adding Huang Wei Pharmaceutical Co. to its client portfolio. The full analyst note on EBIG, along with an audio interview with both Mr. Wong and Mr. Klein, can be found at http://www.starwoodresearch.com/ceointerviews.
