Mr. Liping Deng, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director of the Company, commented, "We believe that the increase in sales in 2010 was primarily attributable to the successful implementation of our "New Agriculture-Generator" campaign, which was designed to expand our distribution network and to establish a closer relationship with farmers through agricultural cooperatives in the rural areas of China. To better facilitate our further development, we outsourced our direct sales stores beginning from December 2010. We will refer our super chain stores and outsourced stores together as "Xinsheng Shiji Branded Stores". We not only provide our products to these Xinsheng Shiji Branded Stores, but also provide training and other support services to establish customer loyalty and to attract new customers."

As of December 31, 2010, there were approximately 500 Xinsheng Shiji Branded Stores. The majority of branded stores are located in Shannxi Province (local province); others are located in Hunan and Sichuan provinces. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 75% of revenue was generated from our Xinsheng Shiji Branded Stores, and 25% from our national sales network.
