Net income increased 961% to $2.2 million in the firstquarter of 2008, from $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. Thesignificant increase in revenue and net income was primarily attributed to thenew regulation implemented by the State Food and Drug Administration (''SFDA'')at the end of 2006. The new regulation placed heightened restrictions onproduct quality. As a result, a significant number of the Company'scompetitors' products failed to meet the heightened requirements set forth bythe SFDA.
