"We are pleased with our second quarter and 2009 YTD results. We
continued to maintain high gross margins in excess of 59% and deliver
strong positive net income. Our earnings per share now reach $0.09 for
2009 YTD in line with our expectations. Sales of Solanesol continued to
rank first amongst all our products with an increasing demand for our
organic fertilizers and other health nutrients. We also finalized during
the second quarter a critical lease for 1824 acres of medicine based land
that we intend to utilize for the growing of Sarcandra Glabra and various
plants for extracting Resveratrol. Ethyl acetate extracted from Sarcandra
Glabra is critical to cancer cure researches done worldwide thus in high
demand. Resveratrol is a powerful phytoestrogen antioxidant which is
believed to have several health benefits such as cancer prevention,
promote longevity and improve Alzheimer's disease. Both of these are
highly sought extracts and they will result in substantial revenue to our
company," commented Green Planet Chairman and CEO, Mr. Min Zhao.
"We are now gearing up for what are historically the two strongest
quarters of the year. Our R&D progress in the first half of 2009 has
allowed us to complete development for the Ethyl acetate extract and
Resveratrol which are two new products we have launched late in the
second quarter. These products coupled with the improvements made to our
current portfolio should drive our performance for the remainder of
2009," added Mr. Zhao.
