Management Comments
Dehaier CEO Mr. Ping Chen said, "The second quarter of 2010 was anexciting period for our rapidly growing company. We recorded another quarterof excellent financial results and our stock began trading on the NasdaqCapital Market with our successful initial public offering ("IPO"), whichclosed on April 22, 2010. We sold 1,500,000 shares that produced net proceedsof $9,944,207.
"This has provided us with sufficient working capital to expand ourmarketing efforts in order to grow our revenues in China and internationally.
"The increase in revenues reflected increased acceptance of our productsamong hospitals and other healthcare facilities as many of our end users suchas hospitals became repeat customers when they needed new medical equipment.The increase in revenue was also due to Dehaier's growing line of productofferings.
"We signed several exclusive distribution agreements this quarter withinternational firms Penlon, HEYER and Welch Allyn to expand our product lines.Sales of products from these companies are already contributing to revenuegrowth.
"We are targeting the addition of four to eight new product offerings peryear. We anticipate these new products will include distributed products aswell as products that are developed or acquired by Dehaier. We have designated25 percent of the IPO proceeds for product research and development. Another20 percent of the IPO proceeds have been budgeted for potential acquisitions,clearly showing our focus on building a pipeline of products to introduce toour customers. We will be concentrating on products that enhance ourcapability to serve the respiratory and oxygen homecare markets.
"Underscoring the important competitive advantage we are achieving withour proprietary home oxygen therapy products is our previously-announced newcontract with Beijing C&D Co. to purchase Dehaier oxygen-chip units.
"In addition to increasing sales of our fast-growing Dehaier brandhomecare medical products, we are building new revenue streams by adding toour product line offerings through complementary acquisitions, such as theemergency ventilator product line we purchased from Beijing QiumanshiTechnology Co., as announced last month. That acquisition included theproduction technology as well as the complete proprietary intellectualproperty.
"With the marketing capital provided by our IPO, we plan to open newcustomer experience centers ("CECs") to strengthen our market presencethroughout China. These CECs give our potential customers an opportunity toexperience our products first-hand in an environment similar to theenvironment in which they will use the products, either in a home or in ahealthcare facility. Our initial CEC is already operational in Beijing and weanticipate opening three new CECs in the third quarter and up to nine CECsduring the fourth quarter, so that we will operate CECs in twelve cities atthe end of 2010. Our plan to open CECs in provincial capitals and big citiesthroughout China is a key part of our strategy for growing our high-marginhomecare medical product sales.
"We have participated in several medical exhibitions and tradeshows inChina and abroad to network and build relationships and alliances as wefurther build our distribution network in China and internationally.
"Our business outlook continues to be very favorable. We are excited tobring our growth story to the financial community, and were very pleased toparticipate recently in the Global Hunter investment conference in SanFrancisco. We remain comfortable with our previously announced earnings pershare target for 2010 of $0.80," Mr. Chen said.
