CEO Commentary

Sino Agro Food Inc. is a major shareholder in Tri-Way. SIAF's Chairman and CEO Solomon Lee commented on the financings: "We take this opportunity to congratulate Tri-Way on achieving this major step toward scaling its distributorship to a much larger business to support and supplement its primary producing fishery operations. When Tri-Way recognizes sufficient incremental profits, it will coordinate with SIAF to service its debt repayments to SIAF.

"These TIFF arrangements validate the on-going perseverance in pursuing financing for various businesses from a wide multitude of debt, equity, and partnering sources. I am very pleased Tri-Way has brought this financing initiative to fruition.

"It is important for shareholders to realize that the process of procuring loans in China for a company of SIAF's size, or Tri-Way's size, mirrors the tiered approach of the IAD business. That is, it is generally a multi quarter timetable to achieve aims, with intermediary contingencies or successful proof of execution required -- or multi-year timetable for very large loans relative to company size.

"It takes a lot of work, but as we see with this announcement, work that is rewarded."
