Sino Agro Food Inc (fka SIAF)

I do not know how else to explain it.

How about, "The company is well aware of limiting its outstanding share count to the shares authorized. The annual report will detail shares cancelled or retired in 2012. Any conclusion that does not include that information is not valid, nor does it give proper weight to the company understanding its regulatory obligations."

Even that is watered down, but is not quite so indecisive.

A full and reasonable explanation of the reasons behind the share issuance would also be nice, and in the FAQ section of the web site would be fine.

It's natural that shareholders discuss what quite reasonably appears the prime determinant of share price, and a very significant determinant of eps. It would be great for the company if the shareholders talked about, and promoted the company's fundamental operations instead.

I would think it a valid -- if not prime -- responsibility of IR to suggest proper messages to management, rather than simply respond, especially if it is a US traded Chinese company with extremely time consuming businesses.
