"We are off to a great start for our 2011 fiscal year, having sold 1,854 plots through the end of June," stated Mr. Yivou Ran, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Redstone. "We are tracking our target to surpass 7,000 cemetery plots this year. The Company continues to experience strong demand for its cemetery plots due to rapid growth in our customers' disposal income, the convenient location of our cemetery which services a population with 31.4 million residents in Chongqing, and the Fengshu created by the optimal lakefront location in a peaceful property. With 80% of our land still available for development, a strong working capital position and cash flow positive business, we are well positioned to capitalize on our growth plan."
