"Wine imports boom in China"
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/m/guizhou/2012-09/05/content_15734567.htm
"Domestic wine supply has been inadequate so far with no solutions in sight. China produced 1.157 million kiloliters in 2011, up 6.25 percent from the previous year, but still needs over 200,000 kiloliters to meet demand."
Sounds like good news for importers.
That is quite interesting take on things. I follow voting no, assume my broker will have the proxy form for me to vote. Hope all turns out ok for you all down there! Sounded really bad in some areas.

I was looking at mdce details at my brokerage account and there is a data box that says 1.54% institutionally owned; wonder if related to Asher?

Nothing current, I may try and contact the TA to get updated info.
Well, short interest indicates there is sometimes but I think Cassandra's post of article was indicating its not as widespread as some are led to believe with the sub-pennies IMO.
If thought otherwise there always beachfront property on the north slope available to ya for a few mil.
Your correct IMO, I think it's been in the public domain that regsho/daily short data is by no means an indication of short selling.
Wow! Quite informative! If that article is accurate, there probably is very little short selling of low priced pinks/OTC,s.
Thank you for posting, saved it and your being followed by another!
Actually that pretty clear! TY
Now that I think about it, it sounded like you mentioned a possible 4th entity or did I read that wrong?
"Guangdong Chosen to Pilot Efforts in Cutting Red Tape"
http://www.shenzhen-standard.com/2012/08/24/guangdong-chosen-to-pilot-efforts-in-cutting-red-tape/
"The State Council also decided to cut 314 types of government approvals that are mostly related to non-financial sectors, private investments and small businesses."
Looks like red tape issues might ease up eventually in Shenzhen for small companies like MDCE.
Right on, but more questions arise reading that. Trying to narrow down whos doing what for want of better words.
So, from reading this(ty BTW) have some questions:
1.Ocean wise is rather a large player as far as responsibility for daily operations?OWII, with its 35% interest, provides the funding necessary to establish operations, and an executive management team to negotiate lease operating agreements, license approval applications with appropriate Chinese government agencies and, the operation and management of pediatric health and wellness centers.
2.Reachout Holdings is actually the entity that MDCE will help getting started with clinics and MDCE is actually the holding company? or is MDCE operating under RHL? Under the ten- year JV Master Agreement, we own a 65% controlling interest in RHL, contributing medical software technology, technical expertise, research and development and financial resources.
Always have trouble interpriting things like this. I did find out that it appears ReachOut Holdings may not be exactly new in a sense, it looks like it was operating under another name possibly created in 2007 and then possibly changed to Reachout in 2011 looking at ICRIS https://www.icris.cr.gov.hk/csci/login_i.do?loginType=iguest&username=iguest.
Not sure how to validate the data, might be mis-interpriting what is seen:

"Market and marketing of imported wine in China – Distribution Networks"
http://www.zhongguo-wine.com/2012/07/26/market-and-marketing-of-imported-wine-in-china-distribution-networks/
Interesting take on how the imported wine trade works in China. Might be of value making an investing decesion.
CAGR
"Wine Industry in China"
http://www.business-in-asia.com/china/china_wine.html
"But the important factor is that China’s current wine consumption is still low and has much space to grow as people become more prosperous. If China's per capita wine consumption was to only increase slightly because of the scale of the population it could easily shift the center of gravity of the world's wine industry. Many wine drinkers in China seem to have this goal in mind. Recently moving up to the ninth slot, up from tenth, as the largest wine-consuming nation on The International Wine and Spirit Record (The IWSR) study, China is definitely one of the fastest-growing wine markets in the world. The nation is expected to move to seventh place by 2012 with a total consumption of 103.5 million nine-litre cases per year. This figure suggests a staggering increase of 36 per cent in wine consumption between 2009 and 2012, and will see China top the one-billion-bottle mark shortly."
"Wine consumption is increasing. China already has many producers but there still seems to be considerable room for new projects. Wine growing and producing areas such as Oregon, California, Chile, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand should really take note of both the growing market for fine wines and also the opportunities for establishing new vineyards and wine making facilities in this dynamic and growing market."
We'll see if CAGR is going to benefit from this growing market in China. The article is not all pro, there some caveats for companies like CAGR if ya read behind the lines IMO.
I follow ya on that. This may turn out to be one of the very few pickys/otc's that end up long term winners and may possibly be an investment to eyeball. More data is needed about the company I agree!
"China - Peoples Republic of Fertilizer"
http://gain.fas.usda.gov/Recent%20GAIN%20Publications/Fertilizer_Beijing_China%20-%20Peoples%20Republic%20of_12-11-2009.pdf
"The following report highlights the production, consumption, and functions of the most popular fertilizers in the China market. This includes nitrogenous, phosphate, potash, and the most common compound fertilizers, along with other alternative types of fertilizer. It also includes fertilizer import and export activity in China and draws conclusions why certain countries are key players. The issue of subsidies and domestic production protection by the government is also discussed."
Now this is intresting to get an overview of types and consumption etc.. of fertilizer in China. Even though the report is from 2009, I think some inferences can be made. I noticed the following in article:
"Currently, China imports the majority of its fertilizers from Russia, followed by Belarus and Germany purchasing $613.174 million, $328.580 million, and $184.683 million in 2009 respectively. From Russia, potassic mineral or chemical fertilizer, also known as potash, is the main import and accounts for over 38 percent of total fertilizer imports to China."

"The Fertilizer Situation and Outlook in China"

Interesting data on types of fertilizer and consumption etc.. in China. Slightly older article but certainly of value if accurate. I thought the Phosphate and DAP data interesting! Ill try to find something more current.

I was wondering if you might explain a bit what the 14a indicates in this case. I read it but not quite understanding the efl/aogn relationship, does the form indicate the aogn would like to sell shares to efl in your opinion?

"Interview: Russia, China possess great potential in agricultural cooperation: minister"
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/world/2012-09/02/c_123660380.htm
"For example, Fyodorov said, Russia's Far Eastern region of Primorsky Territory, bordering Northeast China, has been a long- time agricultural partner of China. Bilateral cooperation between the two countries has yielded tangible fruits in crop planting and agriculture product import and export, he noted.
Along with Primorsky Territory, Russia's Far Eastern Amur region, the southern regions of Volgograd and Penza and the central Voronezh region also carried out agricultural cooperation with the Chinese side."
So, is this another potential opportunity for companys like Prosperous Ag in China, the grouth of ag cooperation between 2 rather large contries that used to be at each other throats.

"Research Woes: Ag research has obstacles"
http://www.countryworldnews.com/news/headlines/1199--research-woes-ag-research-has-obstacles.html
"While U.S. spending on agriculture research has been stagnant, China and Brazil have greatly increased spending in the same area. China has committed $47 billion to agriculture research and development over the next 10 years. The ARS and the National Institute of Food Agriculture (NIFA) operate on about $2 billion annually, Upchurch said. Brazil, with a fraction of the population of the U.S., has allocated $2.6 billion a year to agriculture research. Upchurch has mixed feelings about this."
Might be of value to an investor, knowing the numbers on ag research in general in China vs US. Certainly fertilizer in general comes into the mix when we talk ag research.

I'm with ya, but when I start getting impatient I start looking for potential and uniqueness of their type of business. Suspect the only immediate competition will be the public facilities. Still digging into it!
Ok, got a bit confuzed like i said been a long wek; I was looking for "research team" and was searching all over their website for this and perhaps members or who they might be.
I still dont see it! :) Guess its been to long a week.
And I noticed no like trademark or copyright etc..symbol by Medsuite and Telehealth suite, grey fer sure.
Got to agree with you on that. I didnt see the "R & D team" thing you mentioned, which page did you see that on?
Also noticed on website some old things that may not be applicable anymore vs current plans and what has been seen in recent PR's etc.., if thats the case again its like you say IMO and does not reflect well.
Am thinking like many the updating etc needs lots of work fer sure.
Then again, versus many other pinkys/otc's who are quite easily picked apart and valueless from an long term gamble/investment standpoint, this is one of the better lotto tickets IMO. There seems to be real knowlage of market with these folks at MDCE but will they make it work, I think so. Hopefully its not a lotto someday, and more like what we'd see on big boards.
Great questions Buzzmatrix, Im thinking this is an fairly untouched topic here and some answers should be looked for to evaluate the company further. Have been wondering myself if these are aftermarket things they are using developed by others or are they developing their own goods.
This may be important, maybe not.
Seimens had a Medsuite software package and may still.

"Digitization Drives the Next Wave of Healthcare Innovation in China"
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/29/idUS140082+29-Aug-2012+HUG20120829
"The world's largest internet and mobile user population, expected to hit 700 million by 2015, is also rapidly expanding its professional information and knowledge segments. In the Chinese healthcare field in particular, digitization of information and healthcare IT are poised to become increasingly important as the Chinese Ministry of Health plans to invest 800 billion Yuan (about 126 billion USD) in health system reform."
The above seems to fit in with MDCE's product development plan:
http://www.medicaretechinc.com/product-development/
MDCE has several products that place it among the leaders in developing healthcare information technology.
MedSuite Technology. This is a management information system enabling healthcare professionals to securely exchange patient information electronically such as charts providing them with greater efficiency and reduced costs.
Telehealth Suite. This product is focused on providing the consumer with services such as viewing x-rays and lab results, making appointments, reviewing and monitoring health records and history and general medical information. The Company plans to introduce add-on services and the first of which is a Continuous Glucose Monitoring application for diabetic patients.
MDCE’s Research & Development is focusing on:
mobile access by physicians to patients’ readings and records;
cellular transmissions of clients’ health status to caregivers and;
medication monitoring in a secured environment
A key advantage as a private healthcare company, the Company will be able to offer advertising and marketing of physician approved/recommended medical and wellness products within the secured portals clinical users and patients use to access the electronic medical information.

"China expands national healthcare insurance to cover serious illnesses"
http://news.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/Health/Story/A1Story20120831-368783.html
"The new arrangement will further increase the level of protection that China's healthcare insurance system can offer, according to a document co-issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and five other central government departments.
Sun Zhigang, head of the health reform office under the State Council, said it aims to ensure that each patient's total medical expenditure is no more than the "household expenditure for healthcare," which is set at the level of the regional annual per capita disposable or net income."
Sounds like good news to providers like MDCE and patients in China.
Is there any way to put a market value on this business assuming once it would get up and running? Seems kind of hard to put a number on potential, as the first of its kind .
That's a thought if everyone here posting are the majority of shareholders in MDCE. I think we all are not and I'm sure the communications guy Peter has passed on the Ihub hub bub to CEO and management.
Suspect there are players we don't or won't know of.

The question came up from me about restricted shares, who gets paid with them and who might qualify as insider. Mike had good link for info on restricted shares/stock!
Ty for link and explanation! Before I read the sec info, who makes the determination on wether a vendor for example might be an insider? Photography of certain things would seem to in some cases give a person inside info I would think.
I might disagree a little on that one. After all, we really don't know who is buying,selling,accumulating MDCE.
That sounds like a plus for investors.
That brings a question to mind that came up recently.Does it make a difference for example if compensation for services was/is paid with restricted shares?
Would be nice to think the two locations augment each other.
I disagree. Potential is the word. This one is on a back burner with some real possibilities for the patient IMO.
