ITEM 5.02
DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMENSAOTRY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

Election of Mr. Su Lei as a Director.

On September 3, 2010, the Board of Directors increased the size of the Board from 5 to 6 and elected Mr. Su Lei as a director to fill the vacancy created thereby.

Mr. Su currently serves as the Associate Director of Information of the State Environmental Protection Agency in China, a position he has held since 2001.   Mr. Su has successively acted as Principal Staff Member, Associated Director and Director of China Environmental Protection Industrial Association since September 2001.  He also currently serves as the Director of the Working Committee of China Green Star, a position he has held since 2002.   China Green Star is a non-profit organization under China's Environmental Protection Association which focuses on promoting the interests of the environmental protection industry.   We believe that Mr. Su’s position and experience with the State Environmental Protection Agency and his understanding of public policy matters make him well suited to serve on our board of directors.  Mr. Su received a bachelor’s degree in the Electronic Engineering from China Air Force Missile Institute, and he is now a senior engineer in Environment Management.

Mr. Su has no family relationships with any of the executive officers or directors of the Company.  There were no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Su and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director.  There have been no related party transactions in the past two years in which the company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which Mr. Su, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.

The Board also has determined that Mr. Cohen is qualified as an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations and has the accounting and related financial sophistication required by NASDAQ listing standards.
 
The function of the Audit Committee, as more fully set forth in its charter, is to (i) oversee our financial statements, our financial reporting process and our system of internal control over financial reporting; (ii) recommend the selection of our registered public accounting firm; (iii) review the extent of non-audit services to be performed by the auditors; and (iv) review the disclosures made in our periodic financial reports.

On September 3, 2010, under the 2010 Plan and in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, the Board granted Eric Gan an option to purchase 400,000 shares at an exercise price equal to the public offering price of this offering.  The option shall vest and be exercisable as follows; 160,000 shares will vest and become exercisable on July 31, 2011; 120,000 shares will vest and become exercisable on July 31, 2012; 120,000 shares will vest and become exercisable on July 31, 2013.  In the event that the employment is terminated within 12 months from the employment agreement date by the Company without cause, 160,000 shares shall be vested immediately on the termination date.
