Outlook for Second Half of FY2010
For the second half of the Company's 2010 fiscal year ending
"We look forward to solid performance in the second half of our fiscal
year, which is traditionally a stronger period for our business. Our results
are expected to improve compared to first half as we expect to receive a
significant amount of vendor-rebates, recognize the full amount of net income
contribution from both Shanghai Xieheng and Jiangsu Guanzhilin, and stronger
seasonal sales trends. Our acquisition of Shanghai Xieheng has expanded our
retail networks into new regions and will create a new source of recurring

market and the consolidation makes it possible for the Company to broaden its
revenue base, increase gross margins, strengthen our overall product offering
and enhance its overall competitiveness. We are pleased to have completed our
recent financing and are encouraged with our growth opportunities moving
forward. We plan to provide frequent updates on our business and look forward
to updating our investors on our third quarter performance towards the end of
