CURRENTLY HALTED 15 Days, Regulatory, Started on 26-28 Aug 2011 We have generated profitable growth since 1994 by cultivating and harvesting trees in a sustainable manner. Our principal businesses include the ownership and management of forest plantation trees, the sale of standing timber and logs, and the complementary manufacturing of downstream engineered-wood products. Over the past 4 years (2005 to 2010), Sino-Forest achieved compound average annual growth rates of 41% in Revenue, 24% in diluted Earnings Per Share, and 41% in Cash Flow From Operating Activities. Our executive offices are in Hong Kong and Toronto, and Sino-Forest common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TRE. As a leading Sino-Forest operates in ten key provinces in China, with over 3,700 full-time employees on payroll as of December 31, 2010, and engages over 20,000 seasonal workers by third party service providers; managing approximately 788,700 hectares of plantation trees. We strive continuously to increase our portfolio of plantations, our productive yield and the range of our forest products and services, while preserving local ecological environments and supporting local employment and community development. We also hold a majority interest in Greenheart Group (formerly Omnicorp Limited), a Hong Kong listed (094.HK) company with access to wood fibre in Suriname, South America and New Zealand. We are uniquely positioned to reap value from China's vast wood product market potential. The enormous population and the fast-growing economy and middle class of the People's Republic of China (PRC) are creating strong demand for industrial and consumer wood-based products. We believe that we have the competitive advantages and proven strategies to reach our bold but realistic goals for the future.
