EastBridge Investment Group Inc. (OTCBB: EBIG) is a provider of financial services to emerging public companies, with clients in the same industries as companies like New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc. (NYSE: EDU) and Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA). In 2011, the company added several new clients and brought its existing clients closer to an initial public offering (IPO).

The company generates income through a combination of cash fees and equity stakes in its clients. By taking these clients public on U.S. stock exchanges, the firm generates significant long-term and short-term value. Typically, the company will divest part of its equity stakes via an equity dividend to its own shareholders, sell a portion to cover its operations and keep some on its balance sheet as an asset.

Several Clients Move Closer to an IPO

EastBridge was forced to delay the initial public offerings of several clients due to poor market conditions. Despite their strong financial performance, the companies opted to delay their offerings in hopes of obtaining a higher earnings multiple on their stock. These delays may have caused some concerns for EBIG shareholders, but in the long-run, they were likely the best decision.

Now, the wait appears to be drawing to a close. Tsingda Education engaged a new underwriter for its IPO in July of this year that pegged its value at about $4.56 per share. Just a month later, EastBridge issued a dividend of that stock to shareholders at a ratio of 486-to-1. Other clients like Dwarf Technologies also recently registered shares with the SEC in a preliminary step towards an IPO.

Consulting Clients Drive Near-term Income

EastBridge has also started signing more consulting clients that could help generate near-term income. In June, the company succeeded in assisting FIZZA LLC in obtaining $200,000 in seed capital that it needed to bring its first product to market. Meanwhile, the company is working with U.S.-based Cambrium Learning to expand by forming joint ventures with education companies in China.

These companies typically make up-front payments with an equity kicker in a transaction that generates short-term and long-term value. And with several other potential consulting agreements in its pipeline, the company could be poised to unlock significant value over the coming quarters.

A Great Investment Opportunity

EastBridge Investment Group (OTCBB: EBIG) represents a solid investment opportunity. While it has faced some timing setbacks, the decision to delay some of its IPOs could end up unlocking significantly more value. Meanwhile, its consulting agreements promise to generate near-term income and long-term potential. In the end, these factors could lead to a strong end to a great year in 2011.

(OTCBB: EBIG), a provider of financial services to emerging public companies in Asia, with clients similar to companies like Chinacast Education Corporation (Nasdaq: CAST) and China Education Alliance, Inc. (NYSE: CEU), offers a unique service for Chinese companies and investment opportunity for investors.

The company’s business model involves assisting companies with the regulatory requirements for becoming a U.S.-listed public company in exchange for a cash fee and equity stake. A portion of this equity stake is often spun off to EBIG’s shareholders, while the rest is either sold to generate operating cash flow or held on its balance sheet as a short-term or long-term asset.  EastBridge also earns cash by helping U.S. companies access Asian markets by facilitating joint venture agreements.

Diversified Portfolio of High-Growth Clients

EastBridge Investment Group offers investors diversified access to China’s growing economy. From a for-profit education company generating $45 million a year in revenues to a manufacturer of luxury yachts, the company’s 10% to 20% equity stakes in client companies offer its own shareholders a very diversified play on China’s growing economy.

The company’s clients include education companies like Tsingda Education, Wonder Education and Cambium Learning, manufacturing companies like AREM Pacific and Fizza Beverage,  technology companies like Dwarf Technologies and many more each year. Meanwhile, two of its clients are approaching an initial public offering in the United States that could unlock significant near-term value for shareholders.

A Unique Service, a Growing End Market

EastBridge provides a unique service to its clients, particularly at a time when China’s government is raising interest rates and bank reserve requirements. By helping companies raise money in the United States, these companies can access much-needed capital to support their rapid expansion in one of the fastest growing major economies in the world.

And then there’s the country’s enormous domestic growth. “As developing Asia’s people secure their middle class status, its emerging consumers are very much expected to become the next global consumers and assume the traditional role of the U.S. and European middle classes,” reads an Asian Development Bank report from 2010, highlighting the country’s enormous potential.

EastBridge Investment Group Inc. (OTCBB: EBIG), a provider of financial services to emerging public companies in Asia, held an investor conference call on July 11, 2011, which outlined its current status and future outlook. On the call, the company’s executives also revealed a number of near-term catalysts that could push the stock higher over the coming months.

Chinese IPO Markets are “Slowly Improving”

In order to obtain a favorable valuation, EastBridge clients Tsingda Education and Wonder Education have been forced to delay their initial public offerings. A number of recent accounting scandals, combined with government measures to slow the economy, has adversely affected investors’ appetite for Chinese public companies. But luckily, things are now starting to turn around.

Management indicated on the conference call that the Chinese IPO climate is slowly improving and they are in discussions with investment banks to set a date for the offerings. Meanwhile, both companies are fully reporting and continue to post strong top and bottom line growth. Tsingda Education’s net income is projected to reach $16 million in 2012, while Wonder Education has projected growth of around 20%.

In addition to Tsingda and Wonder, the company is close to filing registration statements for two other clients, Dwarf Technology and Arem Pacific.  They expect to file both companies within the next 30 to 45 days.  Also, they continue to work with several other clients to prepare them for the process to get listed on a US stock exchange.  EastBridge’s pipeline of clients is strong and flowing.

Fizza and Cambium Provide Near-term Potential

In the meantime, EastBridge has branched out into new agreements that involve upfront payments as well as equity. Some investors are hoping that these agreements will pay off in the near-term, while Tsingda Education, Wonder Education and other clients offer longer-term potential with their equity.

Management indicated on the conference call that one of its clients, Cambrium Learning, was working with Tsingda Education to introduce English language learning software and services in China. The company is earning a fee by virtue of this introduction, and will share in the revenue generated by this joint venture (JV) between Tsingda and Cambium.   Of course, this JV will also provide additional revenue for Tsingda helping to improve its net income, leading to a higher IPO valuation.

Fizza is a U.S.-based client that is developing a drink that tastes like soda but has the same healthy properties as milk. In a similar arrangement, this company paid an upfront fee in addition to equity in order to engage EastBridge.  Meanwhile, management reported significant progress in setting up its manufacturing capacity and preparing its product for launch.

A Great Investment Opportunity

Due to the IPO delays and its temporary delisting from the OTCBB, EastBridge’s stock dropped some 55% over the past six months. Now, the company is relisted on the OTCBB and closer than ever to facilitating several IPOs and unlocking significant value for shareholders. In the meantime, the firm’s fee-based clients should provide a steady income to help bolster its financials.

In the end, these factors make EastBridge Investment Group (OTCBB: EBIG) an attractive investment opportunity at these levels.
