second quarter.&rdquo; Mr. Xiaobin Liu, the CEO of the Company stated. &ldquo;However, the results in the quarter and the six months

&ldquo;As we enter the second half of 2017,&rdquo; Mr. Liu stated, &ldquo;We feel very positive about our business. Bromine prices
have remained strong. Demand is starting to increase. Our chemicals business has stabilized and is also showing good signs of improvement.&nbsp;
Based on the current tone of our business, we believe we can show good increased in sales and earnings in RMB during the second
half of the year.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&ldquo;There is one major issue, however,
that could have an impact on our business in both the short and long-term,&rdquo; Mr. Liu continued. &ldquo;The government of China
is taking a much more active role in enforcing environmental rules.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&ldquo;We consider this to be a substantial
opportunity,&rdquo; Mr. Liu stated. &ldquo;In the bromine industry, for example, we have many small unlicensed competitors. We
also have many smaller licensed competitors that do not have the capital to bring their mines and factories into compliance with
new government regulations.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&ldquo;Over the intermediate to long-term,&rdquo;
Mr. Liu continued, &ldquo;we believe many smaller mines and factories will be forced to close. While the costs of producing bromine
are likely to increase with the stronger regulations, the closing of smaller competitors should lead to higher prices, increased
capacity utilization, and significantly higher profits. The same conditions should apply in the chemical industry.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&ldquo;The closing of these facilities,&rdquo;
Mr. Liu stated, &ldquo;could also give us the opportunity to acquire new facilities at lower prices. This would be very beneficial
for our company.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&ldquo;The only issue we face is how our facilities
will fare in the new government inspections,&rdquo; Mr. Liu continued. &ldquo;We believe we have invested more than any other Chinese
company in the bromine industry. We also believe that our facilities are fully compliant. Further, we have a large number of bromine
mines and factories, which lessens our risk at any one facility.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&ldquo;What we can not control,&rdquo; Mr.
Liu stated, &ldquo;is the timing of the government inspections and the impact on individual facilities. We believe we will have
to spend some additional money to satisfy the regulators. And we cannot predict how these expenditures may impact the earnings
in the second half of the year. However, we are not yet certain that this may occur. Neither are we certain of the timing of the
inspections.&rdquo;</P>

&ldquo;we consider the new government environmental regulations to be a great opportunity. We believe we are one of the largest
bromine producers in China, and one of the large producers of chemicals as well. We believe we have the strongest balance sheet
of anyone in the industry. We believe there will be many competitors that will be forced to close or to sell for lower prices.
We feel very strongly that competition will be significantly reduced. While costs should increase as companies satisfy the new
regulations, we believe profits will increase faster.&rdquo;</P>
