advantages.

   Market Snapshot

Chinese affluence drives demands for health foods

Demand for functional food in China is expected to reach over USD $9.7 billion by 2010 creating a
significant addressable market (Source: Pacific Bridge Medical)

Demand for Milk/Yogurt products increase significantly

Sales of yogurt drinks increased by 25% annually during both 2005 and 2006

Chinese National Bureau of Statistics forecasts a 10-fold increase in domestic dairy consumption
from 2007 - 2015

Jan. 8, 2007 – Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs collectively invest $73 million in China milk-
based manufacturer Taizinai Group

It is estimated 150,000 tons of lactobacillus yogurt drinks are produced annually in China.

China has limited probiotic production capacity

For Bulk Additives, currently food manufacturers either import the raw materials necessary to
make their own or order finished product from foreign manufacturers

This creates significant inefficiencies in both cost and probiotic efficacy

Restricted Use of Antibiotics Stimulates Probiotic Demand

China has a serious problem with antibiotics abuse and has shifted its focus toward fortification of
foods with probiotics

W.H.O cautioned that the ‘super-disease’ will result from antibiotic abuse

Chinese government cut antibiotics retail prices by 60% (to drive down the # of suppliers) and in
July 2004 made antibiotics prescription drugs
