China Direct Trading Corporation (OTCBB: CHDT) ("China Direct"), announced in a press release, issued October 10, 2005, that, through its China Pathfinder Fund, LLC (CPF) subsidiary, it received an additional purchase order commitment for 400 40 kilowatt generators from Complete Power Solutions, LLC of Florida (CPS), a regional distributor of generators. The generators will require UL-approval as a condition to consummating sales and shipping. CPF's Chinese suppliers have applied or are applying for such approval. While CPF and China Direct have no reason to believe that UL-approval will not be obtained by the Chinese manufacturers, there can be no assurance of UL-approval for the Chinese made generators and the absence of such approval would be fatal to consummating the sales of the generators. "UL" is a registered trade mark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
