In August 2010, the Company entered into~~ an ~~agreement~~oral ~~with~~hearing Yongchang to purchase approximately 30 acres of land and a production factory for a total purchase price of approximately $5,550,000 (RMB 37,200,000). The Dongguan factory was completed and commenced production in ~~January~~front ~~2011. As~~ of the date of this report, however, Yongchang was still in the process of transferring the land use right certificate for the land on which the Dongguan facility is located, which entitles the holder to use the land and gain the title to the buildings located upon such landPanel.

Yongchang, a start-up paper products company, had planned to launch initial production in 2011. However, due to the nationwide tightening of credit in 2010 through 2011, a policy that the PRC government had instituted in an effort to curb credit-driven inflation, Yongchang was unable to obtain sufficient capital to launch production according to schedule. In late December 2011, Yongchang’s facilities were sealed by local authorities in connection with a complaint that was filed in local court by Yongchang creditors.SIGNATURES

~~However,~~Dated: asAugust ~~a result of the court order~~13, ~~since the afternoon of May 18,~~ 2012, Company has been forced to suspend production at its Dongguan facility. The Company is aggressively seeking to identify alternative production options and may lease additional facilities to service its Guangdong customers pending resolution of the Dongguang facility. Until production is resumed, the Company may incur substantial losses on outstanding purchase orders and may lose business opportunites with current and future customers in the area. The Company is revisiting its 2012 earnings guidance and will revise its guidance to account for any effect that the Dongguan plant closure may have on the Company’s results of operations.
