MOU with Hubei Merryclin

The proposed transaction with Hubei Merryclin would provide the Company with immediate use of production facilities that meet the most stringent GMP standards enabling the Company to expand production quickly. The Company would be able to acquire a 30% to 51% interest in Hubei Merryclin for a modest capital injection into Hubei Merryclin.
