Management Comments on 2008 Financial Performance and 2009 Outlook:

In 2008, Deer achieved a 30.8% growth in revenues due to increased international and domestic orders. Increased sales attest to the high quality of our products, our marketing strength and highly cooperative relationships that we have maintained with our new and returning customers. In addition to expanding our international sales under various global brands as a key supplier to global chain stores, we have started marketing household kitchen appliances domestically under our own registered "Deer" brand. Sales growth from our own brand has been promising.

Bill He, Deer's Chief Executive Officer commented: "We are pleased with Deer's 2008 financial performance. In 2008, in addition to expanding international sales, we continued to execute on our strategy of broadening distribution channels targeting the Chinese domestic consumer markets. In 2009, we anticipate significant growth from domestic product sales. The Chinese consumers' appetite towards home appliances has been increasing steadily despite the challenging global economy." He also said: "On the capital market front, Deer plans to apply for listing on the NASDAQ stock market in the near future as we believe an Exchange listing would broaden our investor base and better reflect our position as a global market leader in the manufacturing and marketing of home and kitchen electronics."
