 "In recent days, we noticed that a website mentioned about auctioning our operating entity's assets. These were untrue and incorrect announcements. Our company is in normal business operation.

"The Company will take all necessary legal measures to defend itself against any untrue reports and to protect the interests of shareholders."

Tibet Pharmaceuticals expects to continue to grow in China's fragmented pharmaceutical and traditional Tibetan medicine industries.
