About Beijing Marvel

Beijing Marvel was incorporated as a wholly owned foreign enterprise (WOFE) in Beijing, China in 2003. Beijing Marvel was the first to introduce wet wipes to the Chinese market over a decade ago. Its award-winning brand, "Dreamboat", has been a leading brand in China. Beijing Marvel has traditionally manufactured and sold a family of nonwoven wipe products for personal and household applications. Beijing Marvel currently develops and produces nonwoven wet wipes for both domestic and international markets under the brand name "Dreamboat". Beijing Marvel produces unique wipe products in a range of sizes and containers and the current product line includes universal and generic wipes, sterilizing wipes, baby wipes, cleaning wipes and feminine hygiene wipes.

Robust management and an exclusive national distribution network of 80 distributors, has made Beijing Marvel the number one brand in China with its portfolio of wipe products now sold in over 20,000 outlets including Wal-Mart and Carrefour's stores across China. A large scale expansion of the existing business is currently underway with a new 100,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility that, upon completion, will be the largest wipes manufacturing facility in Asia. Beijing Marvel will be applying proprietary designed and manufactured production equipment to produce wipe products more efficiently and at lower costs than traditional equipment outsourced by competitors. Beijing Marvel and its exclusive distribution network will be integrated to produce a single production and national distribution network, improving efficiency and reducing costs. By internalizing our distribution network, it will act as one unit rather than 80 separate entities. Further cost reduction efficiencies will be realized with the installation of retail point-of-sale information sharing interfaces.

Through the reorganization and large-scale expansion of an existing, successful brand, Beijing Marvel will significantly lower costs and bring retail pricing down to a point significantly below its competitor's pricing. This sustainable, lowest pricing model will be used to take and retain market share from competitors in the world's largest, price sensitive, growth market. The goal of the Company is to become one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of fast moving consumer goods in China.

The global wipes industry is a highly competitive business where participants employ a variety of competitive strategies to build and retain market share. These strategies include the development of new products, extension of product lines and product differentiation. The fundamental part of our competitive strategy involves the establishment of a very low-cost position, where we will compete primarily on the basis of price. This strategy is appropriate and representative of our tactics to be a store brand wipe, which competes very well against national brands by offering our high quality products at much lower cost.
