Ang Kang Han, Chairman and President, commented, "We are pleased to report that we experienced strong growth in our business throughout 2010 that continued into the first quarter of 2011. Insufficient local supply of PU leather and the high grade characteristics of our synthetic leather are driving demand for our products. With our headquarters in Shishi, Fujian, we are strategically located in close proximity to one of the largest PU leather markets in China with over 3,000 shoe manufacturers producing over one billion pairs of shoes annually. In this market, local demand far outstrips supply and we believe we are extremely well positioned with strong brand recognition and established long-term distributor relationships."
 
Mr. Han continued, "We have built a very efficient and scalable operation. We operate a 66,700 square meter factory consisting of five PU leather production lines with capacity to annually produce over 12 million meters of PU leather. In addition, we are constructing a new facility in San Ming that we expect to commence operation by the second half of 2011. This new facility will increase our capacity by more than 80% and will enable us to produce an additional 10 million meters of PU leather per year. We currently operate our own resin plant, base cloth production line and PU leather plant, which lowers our costs and enables us to customize products to meet the needs of high-end customers. We are also focusing heavily on R&D including development of new formulas that exceed industry standards for peel strength, water repellent properties and tear strength."
 
Mr. Han concluded, "Looking ahead, our strategy is to capture market share as one of only a few fully integrated companies in Fujian by the end of 2011. Our focus is on increasing higher margin direct-to-customer sales, entering new regional markets in China, such as Hunan and Jiangxi Provinces, and increasing our presence in high-end overseas markets including Europe and America. While our primary focus is generating strong free cash flow to internally fund our organic growth, we are also considering opportunistically pursuing strategic and accretive acquisitions within this highly fragmented market. Overall, we are extremely encouraged by both the near-term and long-term outlook for the business, and believe our ability to increase net income by more than 90% in 2010 year illustrates our ability to generate meaningful value for shareholders."
