Looking forward to the second half of 2010, we feel optimistic. The five principal production plants within the Group are expanding, integrating and supporting each other, so that our cost of production is likely to decline again and the production efficiency will go up accordingly. We will also put our focus on developing competitive products. The Group started promotion of recombinant human insulin finished products in the first half and good marketing results were seen. The Group expects exponential sales growth of insulin products from the coming year will be realized. The insulin products series will become the signature products of the Group. Chairman Mr. Choy concluded,"We started to step into a harvest period in the first half. The Group has broken all records of results and demonstrated its excellence. Starting up from an industrial company many years ago, we have now developed into a pharmaceutical group selling branded products. We will further strengthen the marketing of our brands and the expansion of our business. The Group aims at capturing every single opportunity aroused from country policies. We strive for the best return for our shareholders through market development and launch of new products as well. The Group believes that analysts and investors will recognize its pursuit of long-term growth with its solid foundations and thus give a better valuation of the Group. We hope that our shareholders will gain returns on both the Group's operating results and share price." - End - About The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited Listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in June 2007, TUL is one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in China, principally engaged in the manufacturing and selling of medicines, and the bulk and intermediate products used to produce finished goods.
