1) If the listing on the Nasdaq is in a few months, I think we may see a reverse split.
Without the reverse split, I believe in a share price of at least
$ 13.
77 000 shares will make you a millionaire.

2) I guess a new joint venture. But it is difficult to speculate. It will be extremely exciting.

Though an uplist is requisite, a dual-list in Sweden is even more important to support the share price. The further the shares are removed from the US-listed Chinese microcap malaise and into steady hands, the better. That's one of the reasons that SIAF is one of the very few CGS names up YTD, as the majority of shares are tightly held by long-term investors, not short-sighted flippers. (the liquidity is just not there anyway)

Ironically, I expect PPS volatility to increase on an uplisting as liquidity increases. Of course, this doesn't affect the intrinsic value of SIAF, just day-to-day swings.

I'd prefer to see the company reach price thresholds organically as opposed to reverse splits, although at some point further down the road it might be considered. As silly as it seems, PPS does matter to institutions, with $5 or $10 often being the barrier for purchase.

With that said, I'll be in this one for much longer than two years. Provided they execute on the biz plan, I don't think double digits is far fetched by then, so put me down for 100,000 shares.

And I think any of the ideas previously floated on the board are fine candidates for "anticipated" announcements, though I hesitate to "expect" much more than a decent beat on .29 for 2010 and perhaps slightly revised upward guidance for 2011. All else will fall in place in due time. Patience and conviction should be handsomely rewarded here.

All IMO, of course..

Quiz questions:

2) What are the upcoming "exciting events" to be shared?

I "want" it to be about a new fish farm, but for some reason I'm not really expecting that. However, one would hope that their projection of signing 4 more farms this year was based on promising leads rather than mere speculation. So if they have been in discussion with would-be partners it's certainly a possibility.

My guess is that it will be an expansion of some sort, either something completely new or an extension of their present non-fish farm enterprises.

I always thought that the "breakthrough" they announced back in May of last year about being able to germinate and grow seeds in colder climate would lead to a big expansion of their business. So in the back of my mind I've been waiting for something to come of that breakthrough. Here's how they worded it:

"The new Enzyme is derived from the Company’s currently patented Enzyme used in the manufacturing of its Stock Feed and Bio-Organic Fertilizer and the foundation of its farmer cooperative business model. Technology such as the one developed by the scientists of Sino Agro Food, Inc. has been pursued for decades within China to solve agricultural production problems associated with Feed Stock and Bio-Organic Fertilizer in northern China."

Independent tests conducted by scientists and staff from Xining University and the HuangYuan Agriculture Department showed that at 4°C, fermentation and maturity of the germination process was completed in 7 days. The currently available technology requires up to 21 days at 15°C. This represents over a 60% reduction in time and over a 70% reduction in temperature needed to complete the conversion process.

The new Enzyme will allow for faster production of Stock Feed and Bio-Organic Fertilizer in the colder climates of northern China. Due to the Enzyme’s lower temperature requirement, production can continue for a longer period of time during the winter months. This will also enable the use of the Company’s proven Organic cycle and farmer cooperative model in these colder regions opening up new areas for expansion possibilities.

Mr. Lee Solomon, Sino Agro Food, Inc. CEO, stated, “This is a major development for the Company and we are very pleased with the results. We will now have the competitive edge in manufacturing both Feed Stock and Bio-Organic Fertilizer in the regions of northern China that have historically had problems due to cold weather. We have already generated interest from Qinghai Province and are anticipating a meeting with the Secretary General of Qinghai Province in the near future.”

The Company has also recently begun talks with government officials from TungDak District, China which is located adjacent to HuangYuan District. TungDak District has agreed to provide up to 150,000 Mu, or approximately 2,500 acres of cropping land in order to launch the Company’s farmer cooperatives within the district."

So I'll guess that the "exciting news" relates to the above.
