to have such a talented group of professionals join our board. Their
respective capabilities and experience will prove valuable to China ACM and we

to successfully execute on our business plan. Specifically, we look forward
to capitalizing on the highly fragment concrete market in China, as we become
a dominant provider of ready-mix concrete. They are welcome additions to the
team."
Mr. Han continued, "With four independent directors now on our board, we
substantially qualify for listing on a senior stock exchange in the U.S. and
seek to secure a listing in the coming months. We view this as an important
milestone, as it will help increase our visibility and open the door to
potential investors who are prohibited from investing in companies that are
not listed on a national exchange."
