the three month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company generated
net revenues of $4,701,675 and $2,186,089, respectively, reflecting
an increase of $2,515,586 or 115%. The increase in revenues was
primarily attributable to increased marketing efforts, which
resulted in an increase in our customer base and related volume of
recurring and new customer sales.
Net Income.

months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $375,759 or 89% compared

is attributed to the substantial growth in the demand for the
Company's products throughout China. The net income reflects a
one-time charge of $416,703 associated with the aggregate fair value
of the warrants which were issued in connection with the $3 million
convertible financing which we completed on March 16, 2005.
