        in 1997, Origin specializes in the research, development, production, sale
        and
        distribution of hybrid corm rice and cotton seeds in China. The Company owns
        or
        leases facilities in, among other locations, Beijing, Gansu, Henan, Helongjiang,
        Liaoning, Jilin, Hainan and the Sichuan Provinces, and also has an office
        in San
        Diego, CA. Origin launched its first entirely internally developed seed in
        2003
        and in 2004 introduced four new proprietary corn hybrids to the market. In
        2005
        Origin had five new proprietary corn hybrids and one new proprietary cotton
        hybrid approved by the government registration office. Origin anticipates
        that
        it will introduce approximately 40 new proprietary products into the Government
        testing and approval cycle between now and 2008.</font></div>

        announced today that it has commenced negotiations on a memorandum of

        The

        and be
        an all cash transaction. </font></div>

        Gengchen Han, the Chief Executive Officer said in connection with the potential
        acquisition; &#8220;We are very excited about potentially acquiring this vertically
        integrated seed company. It has many attributes that make it particularly
        attractive for us. First, it presently has a significant presence in the
        hybrid
        rice market in China, a market we have only recently entered last year. As
        a
        result of the acquisition we will immediately reach a size in the rice market
        that will allow us to achieve the economies of scale that we are now beginning
        to see in the corn market. Second, the company has a proprietary pipeline
        of
        rice hybrids that enhance our prospects for the future. Third, the acquisition
        is synergistic in that the distribution networks, when integrated, will now
        be
        able to sell, where applicable, two different seed products to the same farmers.
        And fourth, the management team of the to be acquired entity is very capable,
        and will further strengthen our ability to grow profitably in the
        future.&#8221;</font></div>

        in 1997, Origin specializes in the research, development, production, sale
        and
        distribution of hybrid corm rice and cotton seeds in China. The Company owns
        or
        leases facilities in, among other locations, Beijing, Gansu, Henan, Helongjiang,
        Liaoning, Jilin, Hainan and the Sichuan Provinces, and also has an office
        in San
        Diego, CA. Origin launched its first entirely internally developed seed in
        2003
        and in 2004 introduced four new proprietary corn hybrids to the market. In
        2005
        Origin had five new proprietary corn hybrids and one new proprietary cotton
        hybrid approved by the government registration office. Origin anticipates
        that
        it will introduce approximately 40 new proprietary products into the Government
        testing and approval cycle between now and 2008.</font></div>
