have successfully implemented our strategic business plan by expanding our
sales network, developing sales and distribution relationships, and building
capacity for our new organic granular fertilizer products. Our record
quarterly financial performance in the 2009 second quarter was a direct result
of management's strategic actions to grow the Company. We are pleased with our
results year to date and are very enthusiastic about 2010 which should include
a full year results of granular and increased sales of liquid. In addition,
our capacity expansion for granular fertilizer, which we have already paid
for,
remains on track for completion by the end of this year. We are also
implementing a reverse split to better position China Agritech to meet the
qualifying thresholds for a more senior trading exchange in the U.S., which we
believe will increase the visibility and trading characteristics of our
stock."
