ORIGIN AGRITECH LIMITED (NASD: SEED)

Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/SEED.php

Origin Agritech Limited, through its subsidiaries, engages in the research, development, production, sale, and marketing of crop seeds in the People's Republic of China. It primarily offers four principal products: corn, rice, cotton, and canola. The company develops, produces, and sells both internally developed and licensed crop seeds. Origin Agritech distributes its products through a distribution network, including first-level distributors, second-level distributors, and retailers. It has joint development agreements with the Shijiazhuang Liyu Technology Development Co., Ltd. to develop various corn seeds. The company was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Beijing, the People's Republic of China.

SEED News:

March 24 - Origin Agritech Updates Genetically Modified Pipeline

Specific GM products have historically dominated the worldwide crop market

Introduced in US in 1998, glyphosate-resistant corn grew from 950,000 acres in 1998 to 2.3 million acres in 1999 to 41 million acres in 2007

Origin Agritech Limited (NASD: SEED) (“Origin”), a leading technology-focused supplier of crop seeds and agri-biotech research in China, updated its genetically modified pipeline to set forth the next generation of corn product into China.

Phytase

World’s first transgenic phytase corn is expected to be commercially launched in 2009, and is expected to be the first genetically modified corn product in China. Final approval (Phase 5) of product development is expected in late 2008. Currently, phytase corn remains the only biotechnology crop product in Phase 5 of development in China. Phytase is currently used as an additive essential for the growth and development of all animals, and limits the amount of phosphorus waste in the environment. Phytase, as an additive for animal feed, is mandatory in Europe, Southeast Asia, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan for environmental purposes. The worldwide phytase potential market size is US$500 million dollars, including US$200 million for China alone, according to the China Feed Industry Study. The corn seed market in China is estimated at US$1 billion.

Glyphosate (Herbicide) Resistance

Glyphosate resistance is in the intermediate testing phase (Phase 2). Origin plans to apply for environmental release test for both (Phase 3) in mid 2008 for 5 selected lines. Origin Agritech retains the exclusive license rights to these specific herbicide resistant traits, and expects to be the first company to commercialize the herbicide resistant crops in China.

Worldwide, the largest segment of the transgenic crop market has been herbicide resistant crops. Specifically, glyphosate resistant crops have been widely accepted in cotton, corn, and canola in North America. Introduced in the US in 1998, the use of glyphosate resistant corn grew from 950,000 acres in 1998 to 2.3 million acres in 1999 to 41 million acres in 2007, or at a compounded annual growth rate of 51.9%, according to the US Department of Agriculture. The rapid historical adoption rate indicates farmers find this trait to be extremely valuable. The high level of adoption of these crops by farmers has also caused the reduction in value of the remaining herbicide market.

Since their introduction in 1996, over 75 million acres of genetically engineered glyphosate-resistant crops have been planted, making up 46% of the corn acres, 80% of soybean acres, and 70% of cotton acres in the US. These genetically engineered crops have been adopted by farmers because they are perceived to offer significant economic benefits over conventional crop and herbicide programs. The adoption of glyphosate-resistant crops has reduced costs for US farmers an estimated $1.2 billion. On the basis of recent adoption rates by growers around the world, it appears that glyphosate-resistant crops will continue to grow in number and in hectares planted.

Pest Resistance (Bt Corn)

Pest resistance (Bt Corn) is in the intermediate testing phase (Phase 2). Origin plans to apply for environmental release test for both (Phase 3) in late 2008 for 3 selected lines, and the company retains the exclusive license rights to these specific pest resistant (Bt corn) traits which, in all early trials, are the best performing traits for pest resistance throughout China.

Bt crops produce a protein toxic to specific insects used in areas with high levels of infestations of targeted pests. Bt cotton, which controls varieties of the budworm and bollworm, was planted on 59 percent of U.S. cotton acreage and 75 percent of the Chinese cotton acreage in 2007. Introduced in 1996 in the US, acreage of Bt corn has grown from 3.6 million acres in 1999 to 44 million acres in 2007, or at a compounded annual growth rate of 36.7%, according to the US Department of Agriculture. This Bt corn variety was planted on 49 percent of U.S. corn acreage in 2007.

Stacked Traits: Glyphosate Resistance & Pest Resistance (Bt)

Glyphosate resistance and pest resistance are in the intermediate testing phase (Phase 2). Origin plans to apply for environmental release test for both (Phase 3) in 2008. Worldwide, more than 250 million acres of biotech crops with herbicide resistant and pesticide resistant traits were planted in 22 countries in 2006, with the U.S. accounting for about 54 percent. Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India, China, Paraguay, and South Africa together accounting for nearly 43 percent, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications.

Nitrogen Efficiency & Drought Tolerance

Nitrogen efficiency and drought tolerance traits are in the laboratory testing phase (Phase 1). Again, Origin Agritech retains the exclusive license rights to these specific traits.

“Historically, these are the glyphosate and Bt traits that have dominated globally. We believe that our product pipeline is unparalled.” Bailang Zhang, a director of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), industry expert, and Origin Agritech board member commented. He continued, “Origin continues to be unique with its in-house biotechnology capabilities and GM product pipeline in China. Coupled with the fact that China continues to remain a marketplace for Chinese players, as only China-based firms are able to move past the initial round of testing, Origin Agritech, from a strategic standpoint, remain second to none.”

March 25 - Delphi Assembling an Array of Answers for 2008 Mid-America Trucking Show

Delphi Showcasing Electronics and Safety in Addition to Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Capabilities

Heading into this week's Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) Mar. 27-29 in Louisville, KY, attendees may question which Delphi Corp. (OTC: DPHIQ) technologies are applicable to the commercial vehicle industry. After spending just a little time at Delphi's booth, they will leave surprised at the depth and variety of Delphi's commercial vehicle applications.

"MATS is the industry's largest show, and we're thrilled to showcase Delphi's cutting-edge products to these informed, enthusiastic and motivated attendees," said Jeff Owens, president of Delphi Electronics and Safety. "Delphi will showcase products that consumers demand in vehicle safety and mobile connectivity, as well as alternative power sources. And, each can be seamlessly integrated into vehicles."

Currently on tap to appear in Delphi's booth at MATS (Booth #24075 in the North Wing Lobby) are the following technologies:

* Cargo Sensing: When added to a mobile asset tracking system, the
Delphi cargo detector takes the "guess-work" out of knowing whether a
trailer is empty or loaded. Using infrared illuminators, the Delphi cargo
detector sensor easily verifies the presence of cargo in the trailer.

* Commercial Vehicle Integrated Safety System (CVISS): Automotive
industry studies have shown that giving a driver just one extra second of
warning time can help prevent many accidents. Delphi's active safety
products are designed to help give the driver a little more time to react
to potential accident situations to help prevent them from occurring.
Delphi's collision mitigation technologies help to reduce the severity if a
crash can't be avoided.

* ORBCOMM (High Value Telematics): Integrated Media Systems provide
the information and entertainment options demanded by drivers and
passengers. Delphi's focus on human factors enhances usability and the
driving experience. Delphi information, connectivity, and entertainment
solutions help make vehicle time more productive, convenient, and
enjoyable.

* Autonet: Delphi and Autonet Mobile have collaborated on an in-
vehicle connectivity system that helps enable drivers and passengers to
stay connected. E-mail, Internet connectivity, and gaming are just a few of
the possibilities. Delphi's connectivity expertise allows the session,
link, and content to be maintained from the vehicle for seamless media
delivery.

* Data Connectivity: Technologies that enable commercial vehicles to
do more than ever before — notify drivers of mechanical or electronic
problems, reroute themselves around stopped traffic or congested highways,
send email messages to notify owners of an equipment malfunction or
collision, and entertain drivers and passengers with music, movies and
video games — are coming into the marketplace at an accelerating pace.
Delphi's Data Connectivity Systems enable OEMs to bring these technologies
inside truck cabs and sleeper compartments. Delphi's Data Connectivity
Systems can accommodate multiple consumer interfaces and link various
systems within the vehicle, transforming cabs and sleeper units into multi-
functional, on-the-road communications/entertainment centers.

* Commercial Vehicle Key Fobs: Delphi's latest key fob offering is a
bi-directional key fob that provides car-to-user and user-to-car
communication informing the user about the status of various functions in
the car. Deep expertise in vehicle wireless communication enables Delphi to
offer optimum range performance to the OEM. Delphi's bi-directional key fob
system provides long-range possibilities for car-to-user communication. The
bi-directional key fob has a range of up to 1 km (open-air) and 250 m (from
within buildings). The system allows users to lock and unlock doors, open
trunks and operate panic buttons. It can also feature remote start and
display vehicle status through a new E-Ink electronic paper display.

* Reconfigurable Switch Panels: First introduced on the Jaguar XK,
Delphi's one-piece Integrated Center Panel helps OEMs lower cost and
simplify design. This Delphi innovation replaces separate HVAC, radio,
entertainment, communications, accessory and other functional switches with
a single mechatronic module. The one-piece design offers significant cost
savings when compared with the cost of individually installed components.
It reduces wiring harness cost and mass, while providing a uniform look in
the interior. Delphi's Integrated Center Panel is available with touch
screen and traditional switching interfaces. Delphi can integrate switch
functions for a centrally-mounted touch screen that allows for intuitive
selection of climate, audio, navigation, telephone and vehicle
personalization settings.

* Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC): One of the Delphi's newest
technologies, the SOFC auxiliary power unit is a high-efficiency,
environmentally friendly device that converts the chemical energy in
conventional vehicle fuels — such as gasoline, diesel fuel and bio-diesel
— directly into useful electrical power. For commercial vehicles, Delphi's
SOFC auxiliary power unit directly improves vehicle fuel economy and
emissions by reducing the need for engine idling.

In addition, Delphi radios will be on display in Pana's booth. In 2004, Delphi, Pana-Pacific, the leading national distributor of integrated applications and services for the OEM trucking industry; and MobileAria, a subsidiary of Delphi specializing in secured wireless systems and fleet management services, announced the commercial availability of FleetOutlook(TM), the first in-dash onboard computer with a comprehensive fleet management and security solution combined with full radio functionality.
