Weikang Bio-Tech Group Co (OTC BB:WKBT)

Weikang Bio-Tech Group has peaked the GeoTeam's® curiosity and is being added to the GeoBargain On The Radar List.  The company reported substancial growth in sales and EPS for 2008 and its first quarter 2009 ended March. For all of 2008 the company's EPS rose  100% $0.30.  In its first quarter Weikang reported EPS of $0.15  up from $0.01. Unfortunately, their are a couple caveats preventing the GeoTeam® from taking a position in the company's stock.

1.  The stock is extremely illiquid as insiders own 98% of the outstanding shares.  The bid ask spread as of May 22, 2009 was  $0.51 by $1.01.

2.  As of March 31, 2009 the company had Negative working capital of $8 million due to a rather large financial obligation, of approximately $7.6 million, that it must satisfy by October of 2009.  However, comments in the the 2008 SEC Form 10Q indicate that the company will be able to meets its future financial obligations.

"We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations and the net proceeds from a proposed offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the near future."

 The GeoTeam® will monitor the Weikang story as it relates to these issues.  We are searching for details on the proposed offering.   The big question is will the offering significantly dilute its EPS and reduce the attractiveness of the  story or; will the company's current growth trend overcome potential dilution issues?  The GeoTeam® will likely stay on  the sidelines until this question is anwsered.
