    Sorbic International's principal activity is the production and sale of the food preservatives Sorbic Acid and Potassium Sorbate from
its 33,000 m² production facility in Linyi City, Shandong Province, Peoples Republic of China ("PRC"). In 2007, Sorbic International sold
47.7 per cent. of its products to overseas markets and 52.3 per cent. to the Chinese domestic market. In that period, its overseas customers
were spread over 46 countries and its domestic customers were spread all over China.  The Company's existing manufacturing facilities are
operating at their full design capacities and in order to meet future anticipated growth in demand, it proposes to double its existing
manufacturing capacity utilising the Company's existing cash resources and working capital facilities.

    Sorbic Acid is a naturally occurring organic compound that is used in all kinds of foods for its anti-decomposition and anti-fungus
function and also in grains, medicines, cosmetics, toothpaste, tobacco, animal feed, latex, paper-manufacturing and pesticides. Potassium
Sorbate is used to inhibit moulds and yeasts in many foods, such as cheese, wine, yogurt, dried meat, baked goods, cosmetics and
pharmaceuticals.
