I believe that Struthers can currently do all of the following things:
1. Remove the ovaries from a genetically superior sow.
2. Rmove the ovum (eggs) from the ovaries.
3. Fertilize the eggs with semen from a top sire boar.
4. Wash the fertilized embryos disease free.
5. Implant these disease free, genetically superior embryos in surrogate sows (sows
having superior reproductive characteristics) and MULTIPLY THEIR GENETICS
EXPONENTIALLY.
6. Produce some of the best gilts and market hogs in the world; hogs that grow
faster, bigger, leaner, & tastier.
7. Grow our alliance herd at an exponential rate using the above mentioned
capabilities and thereby produce millions of superior market hogs and gilts every
year.
8. Produce gilts and market hogs that are ALL DISEASE FREE as well as free of 7
to 14 of the 14 possible swine pathogens. Therefore, every market hog produced will
be used for VALUE ADDED PORK PRODUCTS which have a higher profit margin.
9. Struthers can not only wash embryos disease free but also has technology
(Gourley scope) which enables them or any hog farmer to implant semen or
embryos INTO THE EXACT RIGHT SPOT in the sows uterus. This can be done in a
non-sterile environment and takes about 2-3 minutes per hog.
10. Struthers has built a family of companies including LSG Norsvin, Elite Genetics,
and Muller AI. Combined these companies can provide the GENETICS, AI and ET
services, vet services, feed and everything else the hog farmer needs. They are the
only company in the industry that can do all of the above at the present time.
11. Struthers has the ability to do AI and Non-surgical ET on Sheep, turkey, deer
and other species. This should enable them to create additional profit centers in
these areas. If they acquire top genetic material for these species they have the
ability to multiply the genetics exponentially. (Look for acquisition of Elite Genetics
soon IMHO).
12. Struthers just had the Grand Opening for their new state of the art BOAR STUD
FACILITY. In approximately 6 months it should have 400 boars. Together with
Struthers' other Boar Stud operation they will soon have about 600 boars....one of
the largest boar stud herds in North America. These are genetically superior boars.
13. Struthers is now capable of using just 1/8 of a normal dose of semen to get the
same results as other companies get with a full dose? This in effect will make a
boar stud herd of 600 seem like a boar stud herd of 4,800.
14. Struthers is capable of producing satellite herds all around the world. This would
enable them to sell their genetics and services worldwide (including ETs for herd
recovery).
15. Struthers has their own private label PREMIUM PORK PRODUCTS called
TenderPrime. Marketing of this product will begin in the 4th qtr of 2000.
16. Struthers has been breeding hogs using FROZEN SEMEN. This is of
tremendous importance because it enables them to store their semen and to
transport it around the world and then use it in conjunction with the Gourley Scope.
I am sure I could list many more things here that I haven't thought of. However, I
hope you are getting the big picture. Look at the trends in the pork industry. It is
clearly in the direction of VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS. That is the market that
Struthers is targeting and they will soon be able to capture a large portion of that
market.
I believe that Struthers' Alliance Herd is now much larger than many suspect. I also
believe that events that will unfold in the coming months will propel us to an even
larger Alliance Herd. I believe that Struthers will be able to produce millions of
market hogs even in 2000 and that should grow dramatically in 2001.
LET'S DISCUSS POSSIBLE MARKET CAP FOR A MINUTE.
Supposedly, Wall Street is looking for companies with good revenues and high
revenue growth rates.
Can you imagine how much Wall Street would love Struthers if it did over $1
BILLION in revenue in 2002? What do you think STRU's market cap value be?
One way Wall Street values a company is to look at Sales Revenue and Revenue
Growth Rate. Often, a company's market cap is a multiple of sales (called PSR or
Price to Sales ratio).
If Struthers' was given a PRICE TO SALES RATIO of just 10 and revenues were $1
Billion....the market cap could be $10 BILLION.
Let's say the OS was a nice even 400 million shares at that time....then the share
price would be $25.
What if this happened in the next two years and you owned even 100,000 shares?
You would be worth $2,500,000.
If you owned 250,000 shares, you would be worth $6,250,000.
****************************************************
Remember that it is all about Revenues and Revenue growth rate. Also remember,
that Struthers' has a very healthy profit margin in each of its profit centers.
