GUANGZHOU, China, Sep 14, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sino Agro Food, Inc. (Pink Sheet: SIAF), an emerging integrated, diversified agriculture technology and organic food company with subsidiaries operating in China, is informing shareholders that it has been placed on the Regulation SHO "threshold security" list.

OTC Markets defines, "A threshold security is any equity security that has a significant fail to deliver position for at least 5 business days. The threshold qualifications are different for SEC reporting issuers and non-SEC reporting issuers. This difference is largely due to the fact that reliable outstanding share information in not universally available for non-SEC reporting issuers."

The Company has been flagged under Rule 3210 which OTC Markets states as, "FINRA Rule 3210 defines threshold securities as any equity security of an issuer that is not an SEC reporting security and, for five consecutive settlement days, has had an aggregate fails to deliver at a registered clearing agency of 10,000 shares or more; and a reported last sale during normal market hours (9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., ET) for the security on that settlement day that would value the aggregate fail to deliver position at $50,000 or more. A security ceases to be a threshold security if it does not exceed the specified level of fails for five consecutive settlement days."

From approximately September 9th through 13th, 2010, Interactive Brokers, a brokerage firm that allows short selling of some U.S. quoted OTC stocks, reported 250,000-300,000 shares available for shorting purposes. As of September 14th, 2010, that number has declined to 100 shares.

On September 13th, 2010, FINRA reported the lowest number of shares reported sold short as compared to total volume traded for a day since Company investor relations began monitoring this data. Historical short sales data was made public pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission request. Daily and monthly short sales statistics can be found at the following web address under the section titled ORF:

Mr. Lee Solomon, Sino Agro Food, Inc. CEO, stated, "We will continue to monitor this and take action if required. Our best offense however against short selling is continued growth and increased market transparency. That is why I am pleased to announce our audited numbers for 2008 and 2009 have been completed. We are currently reviewing the final drafts and making required disclosure and note changes. We have also submitted our first completed rough draft of the non-financial portion of our Form 10 filing to our SEC attorney for review and comments. Once all review work is completed, we will combine the final audit with our completed Form 10 and register with the SEC."
