American Oriental Bioengineering 'Posts Very Encouraging Q3FY06 Results,' 'Buy/4' Rating Reiterated, Target Raised To $12, In 'Institutional' Research Update By Investrend Analyst Lytel.

NEW YORK -- (Investrend Research Syndicate) In a report dated November 30, 2006, American Oriental Bioengineering (AMEX: AOB) was as "Buy/4," with an increased target valuation of $12, beating analyst's expectations, reporting revenues of $27 million, net income of $7.6 million and EPS of $0.12 in an "Institutional" Update by Investrend analyst Kipley J. Lytel, CFA.

The full report, including important disclosures and disclaimers, is available at http://www.investrendresearch.com. In the report, the analyst also stated:

"The robust revenue growth stems both from acquisitions and from organic growth. AOB has been aggressively promoting its products, employing a Chinese celebrity for its advertising campaign, while acquisitions have helped expand the distribution network and product portfolio. The company reported that backlog for GLP's Jinji Series of products for Q4FY06 stood at $6 million.

"Two of AOB's products have been included in Chinese government's International Traditional Chinese Medicine Program for Cooperation in Science and Technology, which should provide the company with additional visibility factor and possibly will provide the company access to some government facilities or support. Also, the company has hired a new director, Lawrence S. Wizel, who has several decades of experience in Deloitte & Touche. Finally, AOB is moving its corporate headquarters, a move which in the long run may help the company better expand its business and control costs.

"As a result of the stellar growth and improved outlook, we have updated our valuation and price target, which has been increased to $12, representing gain potential of approximately 20%."
