By leveraging AOB's marketing methodologies, its expanded distribution points and new advertising and marketing campaigns, AOB has begun to see an accelerating pace of business for GLP products. Specifically, the Company hired Ms. Ni Ping, a well known and recognized Chinese celebrity to endorse the Jinji Series of products which targets women's health. Additionally, AOB has implemented a comprehensive training program geared to further educating GLP salespeople and improving the overall level of sales execution. GLP's position in the market is strengthening as the products now have nationwide access to China through AOB's 100,000 distribution points.

"We are very pleased to see a further increase in revenue from our integration of GLP since April," commented Mr. Tony Liu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AOB. "This level of order activity prior to the start of a quarter represents a record for GLP and we are comfortable with our manufacturing capacity to address further anticipated revenue growth. Strong demand for the products has necessitated AOB to manufacture during the China National Day Holiday, a time when many facilities are closed. We remain committed to establishing the Jinji Series as a top three brand in women's health in China and having the brand contribute significantly to AOB's total revenue."
