Sooner Holdings Inc. Reports Results for the Third Quarter of 2011

Sooner Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: SOON), a Fujian-based manufacturer and distributor of synthetic polyurethane synthetic leather (PU leather) for the shoe industry in China, today announced financial results and provided a business update for the third quarter of 2011.

Third Quarter 2011 Highlights

Revenue kept even at $7.0 million compared to $7.1 million for Q3 2010. Gross profit decreased 19% to $1.3 million versus $1.6 million for Q3 2010 due to the increasing costs. The decrease of gross margin was mainly due to an increase in raw materials and labor costs, and our sales of footwear had decreased approximately 34% during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to same period in 2010. Net income decreased 46.2% to $501 thousand versus $932 thousand for Q3 2010 due to the increased administrative expenses in this quarter and in 2011 the Company no longer enjoyed the preferential income tax holiday rate of 12.5% in 2010 and is paying the normal income tax rate of 25% in 2011.

Ang Kang Han, Chairman and President, commented, the liquidity imbalance on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is primarily due to the fact that the Company is investing towards its future expansion plans. Overall, we believe we are extremely well positioned to capture market share due to insufficient local supply of PU leather and the high grade characteristics of our synthetic leather. We have a new facility in San Ming that we expected to commence operation by the end of 2011, which will increase our capacity dramatically, and allow us to capitalize on the growing demand and new opportunities from our customers."
