Concentrations of Processing Factories

 

The Company operates two of its processing factories through contractual arrangements for manufacturing premises and manufacturing labour services pursuant to the processing agreements, with expiry dates of December 17, 2011 and November 5, 2012 respectively. On January 30, 2011, an agreement was signed with the PRC counterparty and was approved by Shenzhen City Baoan District Economic Development Bureau to extend the contractual arrangement dated December 17, 2011 for a year further, with a new expiry date of December 31, 2012. These processing factories represent significant portion of the Company's production facilities.
