The ~~voting~~Company’s atDongguan facility, located in Liu Yong Wei Industrial Park, Wan Jiang District, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, is situated on the ~~Annual~~same ~~Meeting~~grounds as Yongchang’s manufacturing facilities. In August 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with 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 ascompleted ~~follows:~~and commenced production in January 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 land.

1Yongchang, a start-up paper products company, had planned to launch initial production in 2011. ~~Election~~ However, due to the nationwide tightening of ~~Directors~~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.

The Company’s Dongguan facility continue to operate until May 18, 2012, when, as a result of Yongchang’s failure to timely transfer the land use right certificate for the Dongguan facility to the Company, the local court issued an order to seal the Dongguan facility, despite the Company’s full and separate contractual right to the land and facility thereon.

2The Company is in the process of appealing the court order and intends to defend its contractual rights vigorously and to the fullest extent under PRC law. ~~Ratification~~ Pursuant to the terms of ~~Weinberg~~the &agreement with Yongchang, if Yongchang fails to transfer the land and property certificates to the Company on schedule, ~~P.A.~~or leaves the land and property to a third party as pledge, the agreement becomes invalid and Yongchang must refund the full amount of the purchase price to the Company’s ~~Independent~~and ~~Auditors~~pay a default penalty equal to 10% of the total transaction price.

However, as a result of the court order, 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.
