For the nine months period ending September 30th, 2009, the
company reported revenue of $13.1M, representing 85% of the $15.5M total
revenue generated in 2008. Gross profit during the same period was
$9.1M, representing an 18% increase over $7.8M in fiscal year 2008. Net
Revenue for the nine months ending was $4.2M, representing an 8% current
gain over the $3.9M in fiscal year 2008. Earnings per share for the nine
months ending were $.08 versus $.07 for entire fiscal year 2008.
Gross margins increased due to reduction of dependency on feed suppliers
in 2009 as the company begin utilizing its own in house production of
organic feed from its own cropping fields. Surplus feed was then sold
further enhancing overall margins. Gross margins were further reduced
for 3rd quarter due to the limited requirements for
cultivation, fertilizer and seedlings.
Net assets grew 8% to $55.3M or $1.04 per share in the nine month period
ending 2009 from $51M, or $.96 per share for fiscal year 2008. The
Company's debt to equity ratio was reduced to 32.2% during the nine
months ending from 34% in fiscal year 2008.
The Company will post the complete financial report to pinksheets.com in
the near future.
Mr. Lee Solomon, Sino Agro Food, Inc. CEO, stated, "Management will
focus on two areas that will improve the Company's bottom line moving
forward. First, we will continue to develop and cultivate additional
land to increase our livestock feed output. Second, we will begin
developing a marketing network to launch our dairy products into the
retail markets of Beijing City which is only 90 kilometers away from our
dairy farm and processing center. By shifting a portion of our bulk
sales to retail, we will be able to increase our revenue even further."
