Just quick summary to bring this to your attention; more detail will hopefully follow.

This stock floated yesterday at 10p and has since doubled. It has, needless to say, suddenly become very popular on another BB.

The company is profitable already and trading on an estimated (by yours truly) forward PE for the current year of 9 at SP 20p. EDIT: Hoodless Brennan estimate EPS for Full Year 2006 will be 2.18p - see article (link below).

Free float is 11.4% of the 81.2 million shares in issue - most are held by the directors.

In addition, the Group is currently awaiting approval to distribute into South Korea
and anticipates receiving this approval before the end of 2006.

moneyweek is planning a new year article on chinese shares--I'm betting TAIH SOLA and GNG are in it.

A not-particularly exciting RNS: Taihua Plc - Total Voting Rights
RNS Number:2028O
Taihua Plc
19 December 2006

Taihua plc (the 'Company')


Total Voting Rights


For the purposes of the transitional provisions of the Financial Services
Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the total number of ordinary
shares of 10p each in the capital of the Company in issue as at the date of this
notice is 81,211,000 with each share carrying the right to one vote.


There are no shares held in treasury.


Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 81,211,000.


The above figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify
their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the
Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

MMs having a funny turn day today any buys or sells they are moving the sp - only three trades so any buys and the sp will come back.

A good report and one of 5 recommended companies from Hoodless Brennan up 1p so looking better.

Driver do you want to put the link on the dark side as well.

laurie
Just done it.

EDIT: chart in header replaced with 5-day chart.

Driver, many thanks for yor post of the Hoodies article - a good find!

Taking away the most salient point of the report, TAIH is forecast to make EPS of 2.18p for the year ending 31 Dec 2006. Which, I should not need to remind anybody, is in ten days' time.

Currently we are on a PE of around 8.5 (at closing offer price of 18.5p). So we could well see a lift in the SP as and when a trading update is released, and when the results come through at the end of March.

Looks very good, IMO. Glad I bought and am waiting for great things in the New Year.

IMO, PDYOR, etc.

Laurie, sorry; the credit should go to you in the first instance for the HB article. I have now pasted the link to the header.

Decent recovery today, too: TAIH Bid: 16.5p Offer: 18.5p Change: 1

good luck to all!

sorry to sound pessimistic...but it seems unlikely that TAIH will go far because chinese herbal medicine is not well researched and its potential benefits and side-effects are not known. There aren't any randomised controlled trials on such herbal medicines. Very risky investment.

HL, I believe that Paclitaxel and Homoharringtonine are already used in Western countries.

And the TCM side, already accepted in China, is due to be expanded in China.

Does anyone else have any views?
