Background

As of the date of the Option Agreement, (i) we owned Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of Common Stock of Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Elevated Throne” and the “Elevated Throne Shares”), which represents 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Elevated Throne (ii) Elevated Throne owned 100% of the equity of Fujian Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd. (“Fujian GP”), which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), and (iii) Fujian GP through a series of irrevocable agreements had contractual control over the business own operations of Sanming Huajian Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanming”), a PRC  company.  Under the laws of the PRC, we were required to provide $2,000,000 of registered capital to Fujian GP in order for Fujian GP to remain in compliance with the laws of the PRC and to thereby maintain Fujian GP’s contractual control of Sanming.  In order to obtain the funds needed to provide the required registered capital to Fujian GP and thereby maintain contractual control of Sanming, (i) we obtained a loan from ONE Bio in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “$300,000 Loan”) pursuant to that certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreement with ONE Bio dated September 1, 2009, (the “Convertible Note Purchase Agreement”) and that certain 10% Convertible Bridge Loan Note Due September 1, 2010, in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “$300,000 Note”) issued to ONE Bio, and (ii) we obtained a loan for our subsidiary Elevated Throne from ONE Bio in the principal amount of $1,700,000 on or about January 19, 2010, (the “$1,700,000 Loan”).  ONE Bio desired to obtain from us the right and option to convert and exchange the $300,000 Loan and the $1,700,000 Loan for the Elevated Throne Shares and we desired to grant to ONE Bio such an option subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Option Agreement.

As previously reported in Form 8-K filed on April 19, 2010, pursuant to the Option Agreement, we granted to ONE Bio an Option to acquire 100% of the stock of Elevated Throne, our 100% owned BVI subsidiary.  As consideration for ONE Bio’s exercise of the Option, ONE Bio is required to (i) convert the $1,700,000 loan it made to Elevated Throne on or about January 19, 2010, into an equity investment in Elevated Throne, (ii) convert the $300,000 loan it made to us on or about September 1, 2009, into a $300,000 equity investment in Elevated Throne, (iii) cancel that certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreement with us dated on or about September 1, 2009, and (iv) cancel that certain 10% Convertible Bridge Loan Note Due September 1, 2010, in the principal amount of $300,000 from us to ONE Bio.

On December 20, 2010, ONE Bio notified us in writing that it has elected to exercise the Option and that pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a meeting of our shareholders in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") and that as our Majority Stockholder ONE Bio also ratified the Transaction contemplated by the Option  and the Option Agreement retroactive as of April 14, 2010.  Also pursuant to the Option Agreement, if ONE Bio exercises the Option, the closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of our stockholders.   ONE Bio as our Majority Stockholder owning 92.4% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock has by the Majority Stockholder Consent approved, authorized and ratified the Option Agreement, the exercise thereof by ONE Bio and the Transaction contemplated by the Option Agreement retroactive to April 14, 2010.

As a result of the election by ONE Bio to exercise the Option, on the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Option Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Elevated Throne, which constitutes substantially all of the assets owned by Green Planet, will be transferred to ONE Bio and Elevated Throne will become a 100% owned subsidiary of ONE Bio.

We will pay the expenses of furnishing this Information Statement to our stockholders, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this Information Statement.
