"We are very pleased with first quarter 2009 results. First quarter is historically the weakest quarter of the year. This said, we saw improvements in most financial parameters as compared to the same quarter last year. Our revenue and operating income increased 5% and 1% respectively in a very difficult economic climate. We added new distributors, which will feed our projected 20% growth rate this year," commented Chairman and CEO, Mr. Min Zhao.

"We are strategically set to roll out our 2009 business plan. During the quarter we added four new distributors strategically positioned in select regions to facilitate the opening of new markets. Demand for Solanesol, our key product, remains strong. Our R&D team has successfully developed a plant extract called Resveratrol that is another highly acclaimed health nutrient claimed to reduce the aging process and accelerate weight loss. Demand in China, our main market, continues to strengthen, which positions us for steady growth in 2009," added Vice President of Sales, Sally Ou.
