2008 REVIEW
In commenting on the strong revenue growth, the Company's Chairman, Mr.
Mr.
Looking toward future revenues, Mr. Xueyun Cui Stated, ''The TP-5 market is mature and is highly competitive while the markets for Somatostatin, DDAVP and Thymosin Alpha 1 are still developing with greater market potential and less pricing pressure. Thus, the Company's product portfolio has broadened from one single flagship product, TP-5, to four peptide products that make and will make major revenue contributions. The Company expects its current product mix to be sustained in the foreseeable future as brand recognition and product efficacy drive product acceptance in the market.''
