This is the same O/S like beginning of October. No change.
First of all, I appreciate very much the work you are doing on this board. You are more or less the only person here, writing something with real content. However, whatever you write here, are „official“ things, which can be found by everybody.
I have spent a lot of time and money to see the setup of KIWA Biotechs in China. There is no need for me to share my impressions here. And you should always be aware, that you do not know me and you can never be sure about the reliability of my words.
I have increased my position again in the last days and I am + 15.000.000 shares now. In my opinion this company has the possibilities to be at 2 or 3 $ within a few years, even higher. Honestly, I expected the company to be at this point already by now. However, they had the negative impact of Corona and the fact, that KIWA increased their market size instead of solving the convertible note issue end of last year.
The bio fertilizer market in China is very much fragmented and KIWA is for sure the market-leader. If you have a look at the US Fertilizer market, comparable companies are trading at a market capitalization of some billion dollars.
Management of KIWA has very strong relations with Chinese government and different universities in terms of research. In my opinion, they are too big to fail.
And of course they will get the urgently needed financing. They have lot of possibilities now, but they are selecting the most favorable terms. Anyway, we will not hear anything before the end of Moon Festival, which is one of the biggest holidays in China. Of course, KIWA is trading on OTC, but everything about the company is decided in China.
Of course this is nothing exact, what I am writing here. But I had the chance to talk to the management of KIWA and of course I want to protect this chance for the future. And at the end of the day, everyone has to make his own decision, based on deep analysis, where to invest in.
Problem is fixed. American version of the website is running w/o problems again as they indicated today.
I remember that I read this also on the American version. Website was updated some months ago already with that.
Please be aware, that there is Moon Festival in China at the moment. It will end by Friday of next week. All updates about progress of the company we will hear after that.
I spoke to them regarding American version of website. They updated SSL last night, so there might be a problem during this process. They will fix it today.
I have been to Yangling area recently and I am very much sure, that company will have huge success in the coming years. I the last months, I increased my number of shares to almost 15.000.000.
Once the convertible note issue is finished, share price of KIWA will explode! Comparable companies in chemical fertilizer market have market capitalization of 2 to 4.000.000.000 $. Based on the current outstanding shares of KIWA, this would mean a stock price of 36 to 72 $ per share. But market for KIWA is much bigger compared to any company in chemical fertilizer market. KIWA is market leader in Bio Fertilizers in China and has a very strong concept (Trinity model) and will have between 50 and 60.000.000 $ in revenues this year. In a period of next 5 years, they will have more than a billion in revenues, I am sure. They have excellent products, all secured by patents, excellent research and most important, a huge market!
Company has released news on their website.
Beside, I like company´s strong position in the Chinese bio fertilizer market, I also like the part about the future cooperation with Rong´s family from Hong Kong. Rong´s family is one of the biggest investors in Hong Kong and China and could bring a better strategic position to Kiwa for further expansion.

http://kiwabiotech.com/kiwa/kiwa-bio-tech-provides-positive-progress-report-for-3rd-quarter-results-company-to-be-featured-at-26th-caf/
Sounds like a really strong third quarter. 40.000 tons of sold fertilizers should be around 12 millions $ in revenues, dependent on the percentages in each fertilizer category!
Bio fertilizers has a market size of some billion dollars only in China. There are a couple of bigger suppliers for bio fertilizers in China, but Kiwa is far away the best organized of them, with a big portfolio of products, which are secured by patents. They have generated revenues of more than 20 million only in first 6 months of 2019. The 2nd half of the year is traditionally the much stronger time for fertilizers, so I am very much sure, KIWA will finish the year between 50 and 60 million dollars in revenues. And they should also have a positive EPS this year.
I am sure, they can have more than a billion dollars in revenues within the next 5 to 7 years, as politics is supporting their business model.
They are very long in the market of bio fertilizers meanwhile. 5 or 10 years before, they were too early with their products. But now their time has come. If shareholders are patient now, also their time will come. I am sure about this. But this is my personal opinion.
I can tell you, that most of the people do not follow the news or SEC release of a company. They are buying a stock and if it is not performing according to their expectation, they are selling........
......and I can tell you another thing. Please have a look at the historic chart of Amazon. It took almost 10 years until the stock market was aware about this company and the stock price started to rise..... and after that the stock price increased by 60.000 %........
Our KIWA has not the attention of many investors at this time..... but I am sure this will change in short time..... and if I would not talk from time to time to investor relations of KIWA, I might would have sold also some of my shares in the past...... but I am very confident about this company........ as always in the stock market, patience is the key.......
.......and I can assure you all these things, because I am a bigger shareholder at KIWA and talk to the management from time to time.
And for me, it was no “big sell” yesterday. We had a volume of 43.000 shares yesterday at an average of around 0,60 $. So we are talking about an volume of around 25.000 $. Sorry, but this is nothing. And honestly, it is meaningless, whether we go down a day on small value, the next day up on small volume. The big picture is important! I believe in the future of this company, but this is of course my personal opinion!
I can assure you, that nobody knows anything, which has not been published so far by the company.
And I can also assure you, there will be no reverse spilt or other dilution. This makes no sense at the moment. The BOD of KIWA is holding a huge number of shares themselves. They will for sure not dilute their own money.
According to my opinion, there is not any justified reason, to sell shares of KIWA Biotechs at this moment. To the contrary, I think, that company is on a pretty good way and performing well. Just have a look on their recent quarter report. They have advanced more than 23 million dollars to their suppliers, which will become revenues in the next months. Additionally there is all the technical progress they have made recently.
As you might noticed, somebody was collecting lot of shares in the last days, as he understands the future of this company. And this persons founds a seller, who might be frustrated by the performance of the company or who needs some cash for personal reasons.
I think there is not any reason to be worried.
Especially the 23 million $, which they advanced to their suppliers are very important when analyzing company’s 2Q. This means, that this will become revenues of around 30 millions $ within the next months, based on their current margin. Company could finish this year with revenues of 50 million $ in total and even more.
At this point, it is very important for the company to gain a big share in the Chinese bio fertilizer market. And it seems they are on a good way.
For me, three figures are very important in this 2Q report:
- company has doubled revenues to 10.924.978,00 $ (compared to 5.334.830,00 $ in 2nd quarter of 2018)
- company has increased gross profit rate to 29 % in first half year of 2019 (compared to 26,9 % for whole year 2018)
- company has advanced 23.007.464,00 $ (!!!!) to their suppliers in order to secure the production and the prices of the raw materials. This means they have huge orders on hand and will have a very strong 3rd and 4th quarter this year!
The negative aspect is, that EPS is negative. However this is due to the “provision for deferred costs of sold costs” in value of 2.448.764,00 $. However this is only a provision and very much uncertain whether it will ever be activated. However this has to be incorporated because of Chinese accounting policy. Without this, the EPS would be positive.
I mean, it is only a question of time until the STOCK MARKET will notice this company!
Company increases revenues every year, they are already making profit and they are working in a very important market with lots of opportunities! They have a very good business plan. And they have very strong cooperations in terms of research and technology. In my opinion only a question of time until the market will recognize this company!
Great news from the company! Their research department seems to be very strong.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kiwa-bio-tech-achieves-agriculture-103000213.html
I have made more money in the market than you will ever do, my friend! So I see possibilities, not time! Still waiting for your proof why this company is a scam! Of course you have none....
Nobody is “using excuses” here. But you tell permanently “KIWA is a scam”! So you should also give your proof on that! Otherwise it is just foolish and gossip!
You should not bother about guys like “beaglehub” or “tmonkey”. What detailed information are they giving? Nothing. Just meaningless gossip. Most probably, they are hoping to get some cheap KIWA shares with that. They are telling about “scam”, but when you ask them for any indication on that, they keep quite. Because there is not any indication.....
I am in regular contact with IR of KIWA and they will report strong 2018 results till mid of April and strong 1st quarter revenues for 2019 till mid of May...... but of course you should also not rely on my words, as I am an unknown person for you. Just rely on your own opinion!
They are listed in USA, so it is more practical and easy to use US accountant company instead of Chinese....regulations for reporting are quite different in USA and China.
They will release their year 2018 report till 15th of April latest, as stated in their recent filling.

In terms of accounting and auditing, KIWA is cooperating with Friedman LLP in New York since 2017. They are one of the most reputable companies for accounting and auditing. And they are very accurate according to my experience. Sometimes, they need a bit longer, but then result is without any doubt.
I am invested in KIWA Biotechs for secveral years meanwhile, highlights are in my opinion:
Revenues increased from 17.000.000 $ in 2017 to approx. 31.000.000 $ in 2018. Earning per share is 0.04 $ in 2018.
Forecast for 2019 is + 40.000.000 $ in revenues and Earning per share: 0.1 $
Very low market capitalization of around 15.000.000 $ at these levels. Very thin free float of approx. 6.000.000
Company is successfully working in microbial bio fertilizer (there is huge difference between “normal” bio fertilizers and more complex microbial bio fertilizers) market, which is strongly supported by Chinese government. Government intends to have zero growth in chemical fertilizers, but strong growth in microbial bio fertilizers instead till year 2020.
KIWA has strong cooperation in terms of research with various reputable universities.
KIWA is the only “private” (not state-owned) company in the field of microbial bio fertilizers, which was own labarotories for research.
KIWA is holding many key patents for microbial bio fertilizers and is market leader in China for MICROBIAL bio fertilizers.
KIWA Biotechs has settled down their headquarter in Yangling free trade zone last year. This was rewarded with some financial compensation by the Yangling government.
KIWA has established the “Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model” (farmers buy KIWA’ fertilizers, farmers receive insurance protection against the risks during fruits/vegetables growth, KIWA assists farmers in selling their fruits/vegetables) in one of the “Yangling Demonstration Planting Base”. KIWA is the only company, which is offering the “Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model” so far. And there are 300 YANGLING DEMONSTRATION PLANTING BASES in China with a total of 4.4 million hectares and an annually demand for microbial bio fertilizers of 7.8 billion USD.
Recently, KIWA has won the bid for building a modern aquacultural Park in Guangdong province. This is their successful admittance to the aquacultural market, which has a size of 12.3 billion USD in China.
31st of March
In the „Goldman Small Cap Research“ report, they mention an earning per share of 0,18 USD for 2019. The average P/E ratio for this sector is normally x 25 up to x 28. This indicates a price within 2019 between 4,50 USD up to 5,04 USD. This sounds also very much reasonable for me.
Great investment and research report by „GOLDMAN small cap research“! Very promising and detailed report! They give a share price target of 2,70 USD within the next 12 months and rate it as a „speculative BUY“!

Kiwa Bio-Tech is a pure play on the agbiotech industry in China, which represents a multi-billion-dollar global market. The Company’s bio-fertilizers enhance the quality and productivity of crops while simultaneously reducing the negative environmental impact of chemicals currently used.
In 2017, the government in China announced the implementation of five major action plans to spur “green” agriculture development growth. The key plan that impacts Kiwa includes the replacement of chemical bio-fertilizers with bio-fertilizers on vegetables, fruits and teas planting.
Kiwa is the beneficiary of new initiatives. These events leave Kiwa well-positioned to win new, low-hanging business from centers that represent billions in annual fertilizer sales.
Kiwa is in the early stages of a major revenue and EPS boom, led by new and existing products and markets, beginning in 2019. Our model assumes 2018 and 2019 sales of $31.1M and $39.2M, respectively, with forecasted 2020 sales of $51.1M. We also project EPS will leap from $0.04 in 2018 to $0.18 in 2019 and $0.26 in 2020.
Against its industry backdrop, unique positioning, and financial performance, Kiwa’s shares are undervalued. Our 12-month target price is based on its 44.4% expected EPS growth rate (’19 – ’20), which reflects a substantial increase in net profit margin, and is 15x 2019E projected EPS and 1.25x 2019E revenue.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Tracing its roots to 2004, U.S.-incorporated Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corp., (OTC – KWBT – Speculative Buy), or Kiwa, is a pure play on the swift implementation growth of environmentally safe biotech products for the agriculture industry in China. This segment is enjoying outsized growth as the government in China announced the implementation of five major action plans on “green: agriculture development with one of the action-plans including the replacement chemical bio-fertilizers with bio-fertilizers on vegetables, fruits and teas planting. Kiwa operates through a variety of subsidiaries and generates revenue via the production and sale of broad suite of products in throughout China. The Company has proven itself an emerging leader in a multi-billion-dollar industry as its offerings enhance the quality and productivity of crops while simultaneously reducing the negative environmental impact of chemicals currently used. Kiwa’s bio-fertilizer products are largely based on unique, patented technology which are designed to promote plant growth, thus enhancing yield, and improving quality while elevating key resistances.
The Big Picture: Kiwa is a Key Beneficiary
The PRC is strongly committed to improving the agriculture environment and is actively providing financial and legal support via a variety of initiatives---all of which serve to directly benefit Kiwa. For example, Chinese government continues to support improved strategies and advanced microbial fertilizers for use throughout the agricultural sector, which represent the Company’s flagship offerings. Separately, as of January 1, 2019, China officially promulgated its first soil contamination prevention law.
The government is now providing significant financial support and is vigorously promoting the integration of farming and breeding programs in rural areas, aiming to further develop green agriculture, restore the farmland and alleviate rural poverty by focusing on utilizing the wastes of breeding and planting industry. Kiwa management believes that is well-positioned to offer its eco-friendly planting techniques and fertilizer utilization methods, which will contribute to the development of the program. Through this initiative, Kiwa also anticipates enhancing local farmers’ income.
In an effort to meet expected demand, the Company has received approval from the Yangling Free Trade Zone in China to obtain land for the construction of a manufacturing facility to meet the US$16 billion-dollar growing demand for bio-fertilizers in China over the next 5 years. The manufacturing facility will specialize in developing and producing Kiwa’s core microbes, the fundamental components for making high-quality bio-fertilizers. The facility will have a production capacity of 60,000 tons of the Company’s core microbes with an annual production value estimated to be over $65 million. In Yangling, China alone, there are over 300 planting bases covering approximately 4.4 million hectares of farmlands, which, in the aggregate, could represent over $3.6 billion chemical fertilizers and $7.8 billon microbial fertilizers, annually. Clearly, Kiwa plans to leverage its unique positioning and tap into this low-hanging fertilizer market.
Going forward, management plans to continue to increase annual sales by establishing financing and insurance options for farmers throughout each province—which are key catalysts for growth. Based on its strong reputation for low cost and high efficacy, Kiwa plans to establish a brand presence in all of China’s provinces and open new markets in conjunction with local government and their strong agricultural initiatives.
High Growth, Healthy Margins, Higher Valuation
On the strength of its deepening market penetration and new offerings, revenue for the first nine months of 2018 were 25% higher than all of 2017, in which Kiwa recorded $17.2 million in sales. For 2018, our forecast calls for $31.1 million in total revenue; however, we believe that 2019 and 2020 results will take the shares to new heights. Our 2019 estimates call for $39.2 million in sales and EPS of $0.18, versus $0.04 in 2018. In 2020, we believe sales will reach $51.1 million in revenue and $0.26 in EPS. Despite its China-centric market, which carries geopolitical, economic, and currency risk, we maintain that based on its 44.4% expected EPS growth rate (’19 – ’20), which reflects a substantial increase in net profit margin, our 12-month price target is $2.70.
This figure represents a 15x P/E multiple on 2019E EPS and 1.25x 2019E revenue, which when compared to other, similar sized microcap companies exhibiting similar growth rates, appears to be quite reasonable. Moreover, we believe that this multiple which is roughly one-third of the expected EPS growth rate, largely reflects the aforementioned risks, and does not take into account potential upside top-line surprises. At current levels, we believe downside risk is limited and if our target price were to be reached, investors could enjoy a triple, illustrating a favorable risk/reward ratio, in our view. Plus, we deem it likely that given its current growth trajectory, Kiwa will up-list its shares to a senior exchange which often results in a dramatic rise in liquidity and valuation.
A relative unknown to many small cap investors despite its recent operating performance, we expect even an incremental increase in volume will have a positive impact on the Kiwa share price, given its low shares outstanding.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
It is no secret that arable farmland around the world is peaking. Moreover, with population growth moving ever higher, particularly in regions of shrinking arable land and permanent crops, a crisis looms ahead. According to a World Bank report, within the 13 billion hectares of total land, only 1.6 billion is under farmland production; 36% of that land is in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, 39% in Asia Pacific, 15% in North America and the remaining 10% in Latin America.
The lack of land is not the only problem. For example, the UN estimates that by 2030, the world will need 30% more fresh water and 50% more energy and by 2050 we will need 70% more food than what is consumed today. Plus, by 2050, three billion more people are expected to be living in cities, with urban sprawl further reducing arable land and putting biodiversity resources under stress, such as water scarcity.
Key Industry Growth Drivers:
Increase yield on existing land
Reduce pesticides use
Reduce synthetic fertilizer use
Make yield-producing products affordable and widely available
Increase water efficiency
This alarming trend has been moving along this path for years. As a result, the agricultural technology and agricultural biotechnology industries have experienced unprecedented growth and resources to combat this problem. The old school method of treating farmland and crops with pesticides, and synthetic fertilizers may still be prevalent, especially in developing nations. However, this method comes with its own issues including the high cost of fertilizer application, lack of universal effectiveness of solutions on all crops, climates and stresses, lack of biodegradability, and others. Therefore, a number of companies have embarked on finding ways to increase crop yield with a renewable source.
The aforementioned agrochemical industry (especially synthetic fertilizer and chemical pesticides) is a monstrous business that has enjoyed nearly 50% growth since 2007 according to leading players such as Syngenta (owned by ChemChina) and Monsanto, some of the major big players in the space. Estimates suggest that the total market size worldwide approaches $60 billion, and includes herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and biologicals (Kiwa’s focus).
Substantial dollars have been spent in this agriculture industry at both the 800-pound gorilla level and with emerging firms. Syngenta was acquired by ChemChina for $43 billion in 2016, Bayer bought Monsanto for $63 billion, ands Dow/DuPont completed a $130 billion merger in 2017. Plus, billions have been invested in hundreds of agbiotech start-ups, according to AgFinder News, illustrating the opportunities in the space. According to a report by Prescient Strategic Intelligence, the Agbiotech space was estimated at $28.5 billion in 2016, with a CAGR of 10.1%, leading to 2023.
Biologicals
Biologicals include naturally occurring organisms (insects, bacteria, fungi or viruses) that can be harnessed into effective crop protection or yield-stimulant products. They offer growers new modes of action which are instrumental in helping to combat insect or disease resistance. Importantly, some biologicals, such as those developed by Kiwa are also able to address problems not fully resolved by chemical products available today.
The market for microbial products is huge with bio-fertilizers a key segment. Research Nester notes that this global segment was over $1.1 billion in size in 2016, growing at a CAGR of 14.2% through 2024, while the Asia-Pacific region is slated to rise by a CAGR of over 15%. Microbial solutions are a significant part of the agricultural biologicals industry and are derived from various naturally-occurring microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. They can protect crops from pests and diseases and enhance plant productivity and fertility. With faster development cycles compared to other agricultural innovations, as well as broad geographic and crop applicability, microbial solutions offer tremendous potential to deliver sustainable, cost-effective solutions that can increase yield using less input.
THE KIWA DIFFERENCE
Kiwa Bio-Tech has developed an impressive eco-friendly bio-fertilizer platform that is designed for a diverse set of agriculture needs. Today, Kiwa’s customers are mainly agricultural cooperative organizations and distributors who then resell its products to individual farmers. In our view, the turning point for the Company’s positioning first occurred in 2017, when the PRC government announced the implementation of five major action plans on agriculture green development with one of the action-plans including the replacement of chemical bio-fertilizers with bio-fertilizers on vegetables, fruits and teas planting. Since this ground-breaking event, management has positioned the Company for broad deployment of its products and outsized growth.
Protected by key patents and fertilizer registration certificates from the Chinese government, Kiwa has developed bio-fertilizer products with bacillus species and/or photosynthetic bacteria as core ingredients. Bacillus is a species of bacteria that interacts with plants and promotes biological processes. It is highly effective for promoting plant growth, enhancing yield, improving quality and elevating resistances. Photosynthetic bacteria are a group of green and purple bacteria. Bacterial photosynthesis differs from green plant photosynthesis in that bacterial photosynthesis occurs in an anaerobic environment and does not produce oxygen. Photosynthetic bacteria can enhance the photosynthetic capacity of green plants by increasing the utilization of sunlight, which helps keep the photosynthetic process at a vigorous level, enhances the capacity of plants to transform inorganic materials to organic products, and boosts overall plant health and productivity.
Available in 40 kg packages and either granules or powder (depending upon the product), and 50 million, 200 million, or 1 billion viable Kiwa-patented bacteria per package, products are designed for use in specific planting scenarios, as illustrated below. These include Biological Organic Fertilizers, Compound Microbial Fertilizers, Bio Water Soluble Fertilizer, and Microbial Inoculum Fertilizer.
Biological Organic Fertilizers
Looking Ahead
Kiwa appears well on its way to deeply penetrating it target markets while reducing the amount of chemical fertilizers that are being used by agricultural growers. Among other key initiatives such as the highly publicized establishment of an eco-friendly agricultural manufacturing base and operational headquarters in the Yangling Free Trade Zone, Kiwa has executed the formal implementation of the Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model in Zhouzhi County, China for the Kiwi Planting Park of the Cooperative there. This is a landmark event and serves as the first stage of a replicable model throughout China.
The agreement clarified the relevant rules for the implementation of the Company’s Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model (Retail Outlet Center——Patented Bio-fertilizer——Safe Produce Distribution) in the approximately 333-hectare Kiwi Planting Park of the Cooperative, the largest kiwi production park in China with a very long history. Historically, the kiwi industry has been a critical industry for Zhouzhi County’s economic development—given the revenue production is $580 million annually, accounting for more than 70% of the county’s GDP.
However, due to the excessive application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in recent years, the quality of kiwi has declined, which has led to a negative impact on the sales and brand reputation of the Kiwi market in Zhouzhi County. This situation prompted the government to seek remedies and elected to partner with Kiwa. as the Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model is designed to greatly promote the healthy development of the agricultural industry in Zhouzhi County.
Going forward, we envision new business will be driven in Zhouzhi, Yangling, and new regions, on the heels of its innovative models. As Kiwa continues on this track, it can build a national, replicable ecosystem, model, and standardized platform for ecofriendly innovation. For example, the Yangling government wishes to implement the Trinity model to a national-level Yangling model and copy and promote it in Yangling's demonstration planting bases. The 54 standard specifications for planting of major crops edited by Kiwa’s Research Institute have also been promoted to the national agricultural planting areas by the Yangling Demonstration Zone as the standard system for scientific planting and standardization management throughout China.
It should be noted that Kiwa competes with a handful of firms, notably, China Green Agriculture, Inc. (NYSE – CGA – NR), Genliduo Biotechnology Ltd., Shenzhen Baitan Ecotypic Engineering Co. Ltd., Hunan Taigu Biotechnology Co. Ltd. and Shanxi A.K. Quantum Agricultural Technology Corporation. Although these companies are much larger and have long histories, we believe that Kiwa is best positioned to generate outsized growth, deployment, and profitability. To that end, we expect that management will seek to up-list these shares to a senior exchange during 2019 and could raise funds to fund its growth and perhaps increase its market share along with the penetration into new markets.

He studied at the Swedish Agricultural University from 1992 to 2003 and received his Ph.D. from the Swedish Agricultural University in 2003.
FINANCIALS
On the strength of its deepening market penetration and new offerings, revenue for the first nine months of 2018 were 25% higher than all of 2017, in which Kiwa recorded $17.2 million in sales. For 2018, our forecast calls for $31.1 million in total revenue under Non-GAAP; however, we believe that 2019 and 2020 results will take the shares to new heights. Our 2019 estimates call for $39.2 million in sales and EPS of $0.18, versus $0.04 in 2018. In 2020, we believe sales will reach $51.1 million in revenue and $0.26 in EPS. As noted in the pro forma income statement found at the end of this report, we expect meaningful top-line growth of over 82% for 2018, driven by increases in the legacy product categories along with a roughly 15% overall contribution form the Water-Soluble product category. Interestingly, this category already accounted for nearly one-fourth of sales in 3Q18, which bodes well for future quarters.
Our model does not demonstrate much change in gross margin. However, due to the Yangling operation, G&A is expected to jump markedly, going forward. With table gross margins, and little variability in figures above the operating line, we project that net margin expansion will occur in a dramatic fashion, beginning with 4Q18. Expansion should continue into 2020, albeit at a lower rate. The Company’s balance sheet, which has not had much change on the debt side but increasing receivables due to the model (harvest cycle), should also be a beneficiary of improved operating performance. Moreover, a reduction in debt or better terms will ultimately also play a role in net profit performance going forward as well.
RISK FACTORS
In our view, the Company’s biggest risks are related to the timing of project implementation/deployment/sales into existing and new markets, along with the (3-9 month) sales/harvest cycle mentioned earlier in the report. While efficacy is not an issue, migrating to bio-fertilizers may take time and there may be resistance to the shifts, delaying potential business. Competitive risks include lower pricing, more effective sales/marketing, etc. from larger competitors or new entrants. Still, these risks are typical future concerns and are also consistent with firms of KWBT’s size and standing.
Volatility and liquidity are typical concerns for microcap stocks that trade on the stock market. The bid/ask spread on Kiwa’s stock is larger than typical and in our opinion this illiquidity reflects a lack of investor awareness, perceived geopolitical risk with China given the frosty U.S./China trade relations, and currency risk. It is possible once an up-listing occurs and trading activity is greater that the shares outstanding of this stock could increase due to potential capital needs. However, since the proceeds of any future funding would be used in large part to advance M&As or major business development, we believe that any dilutive effect from such a funding could be offset by related increases in market value
CONCLUSION
Kiwa Bio-Tech is a pure play on the agbiotech industry in China, which represents a multi-billion-dollar global market. The Company’s bio-fertilizers enhance the quality and productivity of crops while simultaneously reducing the negative environmental impact of chemicals currently used. In 2017, the government in China announced the implementation of five major action plans to spur “green” agriculture development growth. The key plan that impacts Kiwa includes the replacement of chemical bio-fertilizers with bio-fertilizers on vegetables, fruits and teas planting. Moreover, Kiwa is the beneficiary of new initiatives. These events leave Kiwa well-positioned to win new, low-hanging business from centers that represent billions in annual fertilizer sales.
As a result, Kiwa is in the early stages of a major revenue and EPS boom, led by new and existing products and markets, beginning in 2019. Our model assumes 2018 and 2019 sales of $31.1M and $39.2M, respectively, with forecasted 2020 sales of $51.1M. We also project EPS will leap from $0.04 in 2018 to $0.18 in 2019 and $0.26 in 2020.
Against its industry backdrop, unique positioning, and financial performance, Kiwa’s shares are undervalued. Our 12-month target price is based on its 44.4% expected EPS growth rate (’19 – ’20), which reflects a substantial increase in net profit margin, and is 15x 2019E projected EPS and 1.25x 2019E revenue.
Recent Trading History For KWBT
(Source: www.Stockta.com)
There is nothing to be „afraid“ about this company in my opinion. I also added some bigger quantities in the last weeks and I am holding a huge quantity meanwhile.
In 2016, I had a meeting with CEO Yvonne Wang and the founder of KIWA Biotechs, Mr. Wei Li.
Mr. Li is a very wealthy man in the age of 58, a visionary person and not doing anything anymore just for the purpose of earning money.
He is strongly concerned about all ways of pollution in China and worried about the next generations, who have to suffer due to our behavior at past and present. He has been working for People‘ s Bank of China and People‘ s Insurance Company of China in the past. With that he has a very strong background and understanding for what KIWA named the „Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model“.
Already in 2016, they were talking about implementing an insurance to minimize the risk in production for the farmers and guarantee them a reliable level of income. And he already had the vision of building up the biggest research organisation for bio fertilizers in China, which is not state owned.
When following the „history“ of the last two years of KIWA, I notice, whatever they have told, they are accomplishing. Some steps might take longer, but this is the nature of the business.
They claim to be or at least to become the leader in eco-friendly agriculture in China! I am not sure, how long it will take, but what I am sure about, KIWA will accomplish their mission! No doubt about it for me, especially as politics in China gives strong support for the target of KIWA Biotechs.
I am very much sure, that 2019 will be a great and very successful year for KIWA Biotechs! In the last years they have laid the foundation for that and politics is supporting them!

KIWA BIO-TECH’S TRINITY AGRICULTURAL MARKETING MODEL PUBLISHED IN THE “WEST CHINA DEVELOPMENT” MAGAZINE
You are here:HomeNews ReleaseKiwa Bio-Tech’s Trinity Agricultural Marketing…

The Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model is an eco-friendly agricultural innovation modulation model that promotes the sustainable and healthy development of agriculture, including soil remediation, eco-friendly agricultural planting plan, technical services, financial support, and agricultural products trading platform. In 2018, Kiwa’s Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model has been successfully demonstrated by the “Belt and Road” Pilot Free Trade Zone Research Institute of Xi’an Jiaotong University, and has been widely received and acknowledged by government leaders at all levels, experts, scholars and cooperative partners. Yangling Agricultural Hi-Tech Industry Demonstration Zone has declared Kiwa’s Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model as the national-level Yangling model and promoted it as the only model to Yangling’s demonstration planting bases (more than 300 demonstration planting bases in China).

Here is the news about the cooperation with the biggest KIWI producer, which I mentioned in my last post! Another great achievement for KIWA! After successful start in Zhouzhi county, KIWA will expand its „Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model“ also to other provinces. And I have no doubt about the success of KIWA in Zhouzhi county, as this was only implemented after intensive testing with great results (there was also a news about the results some time ago)

KIWA BIO-TECH ANNOUNCES THE FORMAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRINITY AGRICULTURAL MARKETING MODEL IN ZHOUZHI COUNTY, CHINA

Yangling, Shaanxi— (December 12, 2018)––Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corp. (OTCQB: KWBT) (“Kiwa Bio-Tech” or “the Company”), an emerging agricultural company that develops, manufactures and sells bio-fertilizers is pleased to announce that the Company’s Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model (Trinity) was formally implemented in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province.
Kiwa’s representative Ms. Sun, Director of Fertilizer Division, and Ms. Dongxia Ren, the Board Chairman of Zhouzhi County Farm Tourism Fruits & Vegetables Specialty Cooperative (the Cooperative), signed a cooperation agreement on eco-friendly kiwi planting, which marked the implementation of the Zhouzhi Project. The agreement clarified the relevant rules for the implementation of the Company’s Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model (Retail Outlet Center——Patented Bio-fertilizer——Safe Produce Distribution) in the 5,000 mu (approximately 333 hectare) Kiwi Planting Park of the Cooperative.
The kiwi plant in Zhouzhi County is the largest kiwi production park in China with a very long history. Until now, the kiwi industry is an important pillar industry for Zhouzhi County’s economic development; it’s about 430,000 mu (approximately 28,667 hectare), and the output value of kiwi is more than RMB 4 billion (approximately 580,000,000 USD annually), accounting for more than 70% of the County’s GDP.
However, due to the excessive application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in recent years, the quality of kiwi has declined, which has led to a negative impact on the sales and brand reputation of the Kiwi market in Zhouzhi County. Because of this situation, the government of Zhouzhi County has paid more attention to it and has sought ways to improve the quality of kiwi.
Kiwa Bio-Tech has built the Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model for a high-quality agricultural product planting park by establishing their Retail Outlet Center, adopting a unified standard for agricultural products, providing an eco-friendly standardized planting plan, introducing financial institutions for financial support, and implementing whole-process with technical services. The implementation of Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model is designed to greatly promote the healthy development of the agricultural industry in Zhouzhi County.
The reason Kiwa is cooperating with the Cooperative is to benefit from three advantages:
In 2018, Kiwa succeeded in the harmless planting test of the Cooperative’s 300 mu kiwi demonstration base;
Kiwa has established close cooperation with mainstream produce sales channels,such as Huaguoshan;
On the basis of establishing the Retail Outlet Center, Kiwa has integrated resources such as “insurance, eco-friendly planting plan, contract farmingand financial support”, which meets the expectations of the government of Zhouzhi County and the development needs of the kiwi industry.
It is agreed in the cooperation agreement that when the Cooperative implements Kiwa’s eco-friendly planting plan, if there is a loan demand, Kiwa will provide financial institutions and bear unlimited joint and several liabilities for these financing activities. The Cooperative has 4,000 mu (approximately 267 hectare) of kiwi planting that needs loan support. In the process of cooperation, Kiwa Bio-Tech will provide a financial guarantee on the standard of 2,750 yuan / mu ($398 USD/ mu) to the Cooperative, with the total amount of loans being RMB 11 million (approximately $1,600,000 USD).
Furthermore, Kiwa will cooperate with the Professional Farmers Association of Zhouzhi County and select qualified fruit farmers to join the Zhouzhi Project. According to the plan, the first phase of Zhouzhi Project promotion target is 30,000 mu (20,000 hectare).
Ms. Wang, Kiwa’s CEO, stated, “It’s a good start for the Company’s Trinity Agricultural Marketing Model (Trinity) implemented in Zhouzhi County, and we strongly believe that once this great program in Shannxi Province is implemented, Kiwa Bio-Tech will expanded quickly throughout the Country of China.”
KIWA is one of the only „private“ (not state-owned) companies in China, which has such a huge research department! Their level is extraordinary! And I agree, this will pay off in the future. According to the news, which they released recently, they will start a 7th product category shortly, according to market demand. I wonder, what this will be!?
And we are not only talking about the taste of the fruits and vegetable, but first of all it is about „pollution“. When talking about extensive use of chemical fertilizers in the past, it is proven, that this does destroy the ground and also effect the quality of the atmosphere due to chemical particle getting in the atmosphere in the ground-rain circulation.
And of course the quality, the quantity and also of course the taste of the fruits and vegetable get much better and bigger with microbial bio fertilizers. So at the end, these fertilizers are not that much more expensive, as the harvest is much „better“.
KIWA just started a cooperation with the biggest Kiwi producer in China. (this news is on the Chinese Version of KIWA‘ s website, but will for sure be translated/released shortly on the English website). And this cooperation, which is a very, very huge one, was only possible due to the excellent results with KIWA fertilizers during extensive testing.
I made a long, intensive analysis of the Chinese fertilizer market before I invested in KIWA. According to my results, there is not any other company in China, with such a high level of products, such good reputation and so strong relations. And this is also extremely important in China.
I am almost sure, that they will cross the 100.000.000 $ in revenues in 2019. Alone, the cooperation with the Yangling demonstration planting bases will make this possible.
KIWA fulfilled the 5th Upgrade of its Core Technology!
I am wondering, what will be the seventh product category!?
„After nearly a year of development in Yangling, Kiwa’s R&D institute has fulfilled the fifth upgrade of the core technology and will soon launch its seventh products segmentation according to the market demand“

Spoke to IR department of KIWA yesterday and informed them about yr b. m. justified critics! I have been informed, that company is fully aware about this and already in progress of optimizing.
We will see a restructured website, containing more essential information, within short time!
I made a long study about the fertilizer market before I invested in KIWA Biotechs. KIWA started already with bio fertilizers in year 2004 (?) but at that time, nobody was thinking about using bio fertilizers. Everything was about crazy growth of economy without considering any environmental aspects. And the companies were just using chemical fertilizers.
But meanwhile the Chinese government is aware, that they can not go on like that because this will destroy the foundation for all people. So they decide to stop the further extension in use of chemical fertilizers within a few years.
There are some big companies in the market, specialized on chemical fertilizers, trying to step in the field of bio fertilizers. But this takes time. KIWA spent a lot of time and money to built up a complete Programm of patented fertilizers and a huge, experienced network in research, which puts them ahead of all other companies.
There are many other companies for bio fertilizers in the market, which is a very fragmented market, but none of them is that much advanced compared to KIWA.
But KIWA not only has the advantage of outstanding fertilizers, but has established also the “Trinity model”, which puts them ahead of all other companies in same market and makes them partner with local and national governments.
In my opinion, they will become a billion dollar market capitalization company within a few year like comparable companies, which yet focus on chemical fertilizers.
