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.

PDYOR, etc.

Someone asked me about "EU licenses" and isn't that going to change things for TAIH.

So in reply, I have said for a long time that it is my view that EU approval means exactly what it says, its approval to sell within the EU and nothing more.

However, all of their problems now (which is losing market sales to cheaper synthisised, and losing sales due to the Yuan strength) will be the same problems that stop them selling into the EU even after approval.

As an event itself EU approval means nothing in terms of revenue or profits, it simply opens another route to sell, it does not mean they can or will sell any significant volume.

So quite simply, the "rampers" of AFN have in the past tried to pick an event "EU approval" and ramp this as the "blue sky" event for TAIH.

Thats all the talk is, pure ramping as simply it opens a door, and given the rise of sythentics and the Yuan strength, I think its quite clear the existing doors are closing, let alone breaking into new sales area's (which needs big spending on marketing and promotion).

With Yuan strength still there, and with synthetics (the big competitor to natural TAIH products) riding a wave sales due to their lower cost and greater acceptance as just as effective.......the outlook for TAIH remains, IMV, very bad.

DYOR !

You get the feeling this pile of "ex-ramped" poo (imo) is heading for say 3p levels ?

Very undervalued and screaming buy

Its totally overvalued and a sceaming sell ??????? ;) LOL

What is the Value of net assets per share?

bugger all on a good day i would venture

15.67p

so buy all you can, though i wonder who vaklued the assets ..... anyway, i bet you could pick up lots of stock for <12.5p with the sellers delighted to have the shares taken off their hands

LOL @ cynic.

Very true.

Any net asset value is historic, gawd only knows that they have purchased and spent in the meantime. The only way to see the real value of the net assets is a valuation with results, however, TAIHUA appear to put results out 6 months after the end of the financial year, so even those figures are 6 months out of date.

In simple terms, you have no idea what is going on, and so, the SP is where it is, as their trading update was awful and their outlook very similar IMO.

LOL
