company serving mainland China. We have sought to broaden our usage and market
penetration of our innovative plant breeding techniques, modern biotechnology,
and innovative information and research management to develop and deliver
high-yield seeds to the Chinese farming customer base. Our goal is to lead the
industry by providing farmers with unique enabling technology and services,
producing higher crop yields. Our activities include the specialization in the
research and development, production, and sales and marketing of crop seeds
(corn, rice, cotton and rapeseed) throughout China. We have pursued research
into genetically modified seeds, and in November 2009, we received the
Bio-Safety Certificate from the Ministry of Agriculture as a final approval for
commercial use of the world&#8217;s first genetically modified phytase corn. This is
the first approved genetically modified corn seed product in China. We are also
actively pursuing the approval of other genetically modified seed products
including glyphosate resistant corn and Bt Corn. Our focus remains in the
production of higher quality seed products, whether proprietary or
licensed.</font></div>

continued to develop our established plant genetic engineering technology
platforms,&#160;&#160;including transforming herbicide tolerance, insect
resistance, nitrogen efficiency, and drought stress tolerance traits into corn
inbred lines. Of note, we made significant strides in developing our exclusive
insect resistance and phytase products. We continue to seek to further
effectively utilize modern biotechnology in China and hope to further expand
beyond China in the future</font></div>

technology base to take advantage of operating within China. In particular, from
time to time, we enter into cooperative agreements with publicly funded research
institutions in China. In exchange for providing funding to these institutions,
we receive rights, which are frequently exclusive rights, to market any seeds
developed by these institutions. When a seed is ready to be marketed, we
negotiate an arrangement by which we sell the newly developed seeds in exchange
for the payment of certain fees to the institution. We believe that these
cooperative ventures allow us to access new products without expending
substantial costs for our own research and development of new seed
products.</font></div>

and new technologies by utilizing both conventional breeding and advances in
biotechnology. We aim to build upon our current hybrid base where we have
accumulated parental seeds with advantageous traits optimized to local soil
conditions. We have roughly 100 total products, both licensed and proprietary,
in the market. We began to develop our own proprietary hybrid seed varieties in
1998, and, as of January 2010, we have 23 proprietary corn seed products, 18
proprietary rice seed products,&#160;&#160;3 proprietary cotton seed products
and 3 proprietary rapeseed products that are in commercial production and
distribution.</font></div>

Company has considered the cost of securing a trustee willing to act for the
Company and then preparing an indenture satisfying the standards of such trustee
and the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and find that the
cost is not justified in light of the possible transactions available to the
Company for debt offerings.&#160;&#160;Therefore, the Company has decided to
withdraw from the registration statement securities that would be in the manner
of debt instruments and proceed to register just equity and equity based
securities.&#160;&#160;&#160;Therefore, there is no need to file an
indenture.&#160;&#160;The registration statement and related counsel&#8217;s opinion
have been amended to reflect that no debt instruments are being
registered.</font></div><br>
