Recent/Upcoming Developments: With exports contributing nearly all of its revenue in the last two years (2009 and interim 9 month period 2010), the Company will aggressively pursue the expansion of its market for banana in China. Fresh mango has been its leading export product from 2007 to 2009, contributing 86% to export revenue. Banana volume is expected to have surpassed mango last year. A World Bank Commodity Price Data show banana prices have consistently risen since 2003 from around $300/mt to more than $850-900 last year. The Philippines is the world's second top banana producer with 9.0 million metric tons, trailing India's estimated 26.2 million metric tons. (2009) ANI is likewise contemplating the acquisition of a US distribution company as it seeks to penetrate yet another profitable market for its produce after China. Currently, about 50% of the Company's exports are consigned to the Greater China Region, 30% to the rest of Asia and the Pacific and 20% to North America and Europe. In this light, a US company has shown interest in investing in the Company.

anticipated demand as global economic recovery gains more traction. Debt ratio (Total Liabilities/ Total Assets) 3.00 have declined to 0.32 in the January-toSeptember period, marginally higher than 2009 2.50 but substantially below the over 0.60 in the two prior years. This resulted from assets 2.00 expanding by an average of almost 50% in the 1.50 last three years compared to liabilities growing 20 percent, compounded annually. 1.00 Quick and current ratio are both above 1.0, lending stability to the company's short-term 0.50 prospects.

PROSPECTS:

AGRO BASED EXPORTS others, 24.32%

coconut products, 51.70% FRUITS & VEGETABLES, 22.19% sugar & sugar products, 1.79%

PHILIPPINE exports expanded 33.71% in 2010 to US$51.392 billion. Agro-based products accounted for 5.67% or US$2.917 bilion, a 36% improvement over 2009's total. Over half of the country's agro exports are coconut and related products, which account for more than half, followed by fruits and vegetables' 22.19% or US$647 billion, -7.37% less than the previous year. ANI's exports fall under these categories. It's leading product, mango, saw total FOB value of US$15.187 billion, an improvement of 4.68% over 2009. Banana exports, on the other hand, totaled US$319 billion, although posting an -11% contraction.

And even as global economies contracted in the 2008-2009 period, sales of its principal products continued to rise. We can only surmise the impact of a growing demand as world economies stabilize. Note that based on average figures, ANI's mango exports over the last three years account for roughly a quarter of the FOB export value for the product. That is a significant market share that makes the Company well positioned to reap the benefits of global demand recovery. It's investments in farms to expand production sources, plants and cold storage equipments to preserve the quality and consistency of its products should augur well as consumer sensitivity to quality increases.

ACCORD CAPITAL EQUITIES CORPORATION COMPANY REPORT: AGRI-NURTURE, INC. [pse: ANI] TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Although the stock price has continued to fall through the first month-and-ahalf of trades this year, we notice that the slope of the decline has eased from -0.18 when it fell from php18.04 (October 8, 2010) to php9.80 (December 15, 2010.) to just -0.08 off the current year's highest close at php10.30 (January 7, 2011.) This is one proof that the selling pressure that has sent the stock price spiralling down has eased. Daily STO (10,6,6) is under the oversold 20-line @ 13.03, with prospects drawn of a possible oncoming upside penetration of the trigger line which currently reads 14.76. Such upside break should posit at least a near-term BUY on increased momentum. A similar suggestion is drawn by the daily MACD line which, although still negative, is showing up with a probable bullish crossover of the signal line. The negative spread has been kept narrow and continues to do so, albeit gradually. Finally, still on a daily basis, the AccDist Line indicates a growing stability with positive and negative volume/value practically neutralizing each other, keeping price level. This is suggestive of a slighlty growing bias for accumulation even as the price bias have yet to give a convincing signal of such turn. Similar suggestions are seen from both the weekly and monthly charts. We draw support at the php7.50 line while immediate resistance is at the php8.90 mark.
