Item 1.01: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 29, 2006, Xinjiang Yajia Distillate Company Limited (the “Joint Venture”), a Chinese entity of which Tiger Ethanol International Inc. (previously known as Arch Management Services Inc.) owns 90%, entered into an agreement with Xinjiang Yili Agricultural Division Supply and Sales Company (the “Xinjiang Yili Company”), a government-owned Chinese business, for supplies of corn to be used in the Joint Venture’s planned ethanol manufacturing plant in Hami District.
The terms of the agreement provide that during the initial period of five years the Xinjiang Yili Company will supply the Joint Venture with the corn necessary for its initial production level of 20,000 to 30,000 tons of ethanol pursuant to a preferential pricing formula that results in a discount to the prevailing commodity market price. It is anticipated that the Joint Venture will require 8-10 millions tons of corn as raw material each year. The Joint Venture and the Xinjiang Yili Company will periodically need to sign formal purchase contracts (i.e. routine purchase orders including all terms).
In addition, this agreement grants the Joint Venture “grandfathered” status as an ethanol producer in China, in contrast to certain other ethanol producers who will be subject to constraints on production following the Chinese central government’s recent edict limiting the use of corn for ethanol production.
