Revenue in China increased 65.6% to $8.5 million, compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2007, reflecting successful marketing efforts in China and the increase in the value of the renminbi against the dollar. In addition, international revenue rose 21.4% to $11.1 million for the second quarter, compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2007, reflecting a reduction on export restrictions in that period by China's Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine ("AQSIQ") which announced an ongoing national campaign in China against unsafe food and substandard products in August 2007. It is important to note that to date, no problems have been identified with any of Tiens' products.
