LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
First of all, Millennium is pleased to thank all the loyal shareholders to stick with company in the past. Since the rst issue of our annual report, we have added a collection of sections to help our investors better understand our product from initial development to point of sale. As a global competitor Millennium has positioned itself as a reliable, high end producer of quality mens aftershave and womens perfume. Initially, our carefully branded Zues (Aftershave) and Hera (Perfume) is just the start of a protable generating product. These new products have been released to the market and received satisfaction of consumer. As you see, fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 was a much fluctuated year. Quarter 2 was the quarter of the Greece crisis's public debt, and the money we spent on advertising and promotion so inefficient. Fortunately, the crisis has been handled quickly, the revenue has been restored at $6.607.000, rose 480% from previous quarter, caused a great increase to a new peak. General revenue in 2013 decreased $600,000, declined 12% from the previous year. We are pleased to announce that many of our goals have been reached, both from a nancial standpoint, as well as non-nancial milestones. Stock price in 2013 is fluctuated; but in general, increase 51 point from the previous year. Over the last year we saw the dividend per share went up dramatically. This type of return is excellent and we are condent that the stability of our company can maintain such average yearly returns for many years to come. Despite the reported loss, net cash provided by our operating activities was approximately $1150133.08. We ended the fiscal year with cash of approximately $1978367.5 and no bank debt. In light of the challenges and difficulties faced by the Company in fiscal 2013, the Board determined that a change in strategy was required. Our strategic focus is to return to profitability, and to establish a basis for growth. This focus has been three fold: (1) evaluate the potential of our existing licensed product lines and position these products in channels of distribution to provide profitability, (2) reduce discretionary spending and introduce profit improvement programs to provide an effective and efficient operating structure, (3) seek new licenses that will provide revenue growth. I am pleased to report progress on all three fronts: (1) we have written down those licensed product lines that did not receive the expected customer support, and are expanding our efforts internationally and to other channels of distribution for those that have viability, (2) major

Page 4

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

reductions in spending have been made and a profit improvement committee was established to provide on-going improvements, (3) we recently signed a worldwide fragrance license with Vince Camuto, the well established creative force behind numerous successful brands, which we believe will strengthen our position in department stores and other important channels of distribution. We currently have an agreement with Artistic Brands for a number of celebrity fragrances, the first of which will be spotlighted by the major introduction of a Beyonce fragrance during next fiscal year 2014. In 2014, we enter the next era of growth for our business. Over the next ve years, the overall objective is to grow organically between 4.5% and 5.5% per annum, assuming a market growth of 2-3%, and to continue on the path of market share gains. Our rm is also proud to inform investors of our newest plan for marketing strategy to expansion the market to Asian area, we keen on Japan, Korea and China. Our company has used the global strategy to entry the new market. The new plan will allow us to build our brand name anywhere in the world and in turn increasing the margin of our products and maximize value for shareholders. Millennium conrms its intention to return above 60% of the Companys free cash ow to shareholders once the targeted leverage ratio dened as net debt,divided by net debt plus equity of 25% has been reached. We have a challenging agenda ahead but I am condent that we will continue to build on and expand our distinct position in our scent industry. I am grateful to our dedicated staff of employees who have contributed to strengthening the Companys future. The support of our customers and suppliers will continue to have our full attention. Above all, I am appreciative of all our loyal shareholders. The success of the Company has special meaning for me. You have my assurance that I will make every effort to merit your continuing support.

COMPANY OPERATION AND SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS


Products At present, we have four products for both of EU and NAFTA markets (including A1P1 and A1P2 products to EU market and A2P1 and A2P2 products to NAFTA market). We focus on A1P1 and A2P2 products. Our fragance products are priced from $299 to $339 for perfume and from $169 to $ 189 for aftershave.

Nowadays, perfume is more and more necessary for modern women. Therefore, we focus on selling perfume in the high-end segment. Besides, a lot of men use aftershave to make a fresh, strongly and confidence, but at this market price is sensitive. Thus, we decided to adjust the price of this product into middle range segment. We invested to change the design and packaging of each quarter. Additionally, we research and improve the quality of product to suit to the needs of customers in each quarter. Especially in the 4th quarter of the year, when the products are consumed most, this action should be conducted more carefully. In detail, for Christmas 2012, we lauched special edition with very attractive red outlook. For aftershave in winter, a cool but sexy model creates the feeling of mistery and wants to explore. In the 1st quarter of 2013, with the Valentine topic, we made couple edition to attract more customers and increase this products consumtion. In the 2nd quarter of 2013,

Page 6

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

we used the orange background to bring the youth and hot of dynamic summer. The passionate and sexy of winter collection in third quarter of 2013 lured the buyer from the first look.

In order to distribute products to retailers and consumers, we have to make customers believe in the quality of our products. As a result, we require the manufacturers caution from selecting raw materials to production process. This process often takes twelve to eighteen months to complete.

Marketing Report in 2012 - 2013 Millennium Corp. are always proud to be one of the leading distributors of high quality fragrance in the industry, the company hold product quality steady at high-end segment, the No. 3 company in group 3. In just two years, we expanded our distribution network across the most popular cities in the NAFTA and EU. By the appropriate marketing strategy, we had a strong brand image in the minds of consumers. In addition, every year we commit to advance new R&D method to improve product quality. Year in review 2012 Price When launching the product in 2012, Millennium Corp. originally positioned our product with the top quality in the market and the high price segment. After doing research and

Page 7

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

business analysis, we realized that customer demand and acceptance level for each product, each area is different. We realized that NAFTA market was sensitive with price while EU market was less sensitive with price. Consumers in NAFTA accept the low price products, when the price leaps, demand will decline dramatically. On the other hand, a fluctuation of price do not have a big impact to consumers demand in EU market where is under the influence of commission and salary for Sales Rep. In NAFTA, the demand for the high price product is lower than the EU, so our prices in this market were the middle or up-middle range segment. Namely, perfume Hera was sold for $299 per unit (at up-middle range) and aftershave Zeus was sold for $169 per unit (at middle range). As for the EU, the competition tended to concentrate in the segment of middle-range and low-end, so we decided to keep strong and focused highend market domination. Particularly, perfume Hera was sold for $329 per unit (the highest price in market) and aftershave Zeus was sold for $179 per unit (the second rank in market). In the next quarters, we continue to maintain pricing strategy based on business results. Till quarter 4 in 2012, basing on the forecast of the product demand in the holiday shopping year-end season and avoiding the rival companies tending to spread into the premium segment, Millennium Corp. decided to adopt the strategy increasing price in common with the launching a special edition for X-mas season.We have increased the range of $10 for each product in each area.

Page 8

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

In relation to other intro Firms, Posatis (Firm 36) had a competitive price strategy, pricing their aftershaves in the middle-range and perfumes in the high-end in both with high quality products in both market. In quarter 1 of 2012, Posatis sold aftershave in NAFTA for $159 and $139 in EU. They sold perfume in NAFTA initially for $309 and $319 in EU. In next quarters, Posatis Firms price fluctuated, up and down about $5 per unit for each product in each market. Then in quarter 4, they have reached to our price level and our high-end segment, becoming the main competitor. Despite this fact, Posatis Corp. (Firm 36) still priced effective enough to be considered a high-end in perfume and middle-range in aftershave market. Throughout the year Posatis Corp. continued with their competitive price strategy, pricing their products slightly lower than ours. Our pricing strategy may not have maximized the amount of market share we captured because all our products belonged to high quality and high price segment, however, maximizing net income due to the percentage of the proper margin profit. Therefore, Millennium Corp. attained the goal working out our business plan. Marketing Programs In 2012, we carried out Marketing Programs in order to build and coverage our brand image in the consumers mind in the launching new products period. We put advertisement posters in the magazines such as Forbes, US Weekly, OK!, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Marie Claire, Vogue, Fashion UK, Glamour, In Style and commercial TVC on Fox Channel, Star World, Fashion TV, EPSN. Besides, we performed outdoor advertising including the giant panels built on the top of buildings, large signs, and posters on the public bus, subway and high-speed rail cars. Millennium Corp. established the distribution system in some metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seatle, Toronto, and Montreal, Vancouver, Mexico City in NAFTA and London, Paris, Milan, Berlin, Geneve in EU. To intermediate distributors, we had some Sales Promotion such as discount 5% for new retailers in the first-three transactions and 3% for the old retailers, supporting display shelves to new retailers and training Sales Rep, having reward for distribution with high sales. To consumer, we held some fairs to popularize our poducts and our brand, celebrating events in Christmas, offering VIP card for close consumer with special price and additional services.

Advertising Expenses In quarter 1 of 2012, we spent $282,000 on advertising expenditures because this was the time we launched our new products. In the two next quarters, we decided not to allocate extensive spending towards the Marketing budget, so decreasing Advertising Expenses to $210,000 and $110,000 respectively. We waited until the end of the year, the crucial times of the peak demand, to disburse a heavier budget $444,000. Our sales force has remained constant through out 2012 as we felt that our team was sufficient enough to meet the forecasted demand and sales revenue. Posatis Corp. (F36) spent an enormous amount of the capital on advertising. When compared to other companies they spent the most. Spending money on advertising and sales representatives may give the rm better awareness within the market, resulting in more sales and greater market share. In comparison to other rms, we spent a lower amount on advertising. However, after the extensive evaluation of the market demand and consumer behaviour in NAFTA and EU, we realized that NAFTA market is more sensitive with marketing than EU market while a fluctuation of advertising budget do not have a big impact to consumers demand in EU market where is under the influence of commission and salary for Sales Rep. Therefore, Millennium decided to allocate a reasonable amount of capital in advertising in the next year, in order to compete better in the market, but we would not spent too much budget on marketing. Year in review 2013 Market At the end of the second year, we have ranked third capturing the market shares for A1P1, A1P2, A2P1 and A2P2 are 15%, 15%, 14% and 12% in the order with our net sales being $1,150,133. The top company in the market still were 4M&W company (IF 35) dominating the market with net sales of $1,602,426 all successful selling in both markets. Therefore, in year two in order to better compete in the market and more adequately meet the needs of our customer we decided to raise our expenses on both products. Quality control In the first haft of year two Posatis (IF 36 main competitor) allocated $696,268.00 into quality control and $ 3,508,785.00 for all the second year. Posatis has already built a

Page 10

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

reputation in the market for producing high quality products and continues to invest a large amount in quality control to ensure that high quality goods are being produced.

In the first haft of year two, on quality control we spent to $993,939.00 and after that we continue to increase our QC and reach $2,295,724.00 for all the second year. This supports our strategy to produce one of the the highest quality products in the industry. More interestingly, this will also stretch the effectiveness of our employees. We believe that through investment in Hi-Tech technology as well as quality control in the long run we can out perform other manufactures on quality. We experience close to zero returns therefore we believe that with our high quality products we can satisfy a greater amount of customers gaining a greater market share.

Price In 2012, although our products just accounted for 9% - 16% market share, we achieved the target of profit and stock price. In the quarters of 2013, we found that competitors tend to go the price down. Therefore, our company decided to keep the high-price segmentation for perfume and upgrading aftershave to the higher price in order to enhance brand value and create more profits for shareholders. We also adjusted the price to suit each market.

Page 11

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

In the first quarter 2013, we remained the price as in the end-year quarter of 2012. Particularly, perfume Hera was sold for $309 per unit in NAFTA, $339 per unit in EU and aftershave Zeus was sold for $179 per unit in NAFTA, $189 per unit in EU. Posatis Corp. followed the same price strategy as in year one. They chased our segment, selling aftershave in NAFTA for $179 and perfume for $307, aftershave in EU for $189 and perfume for $337. Millennium Corp. decided to change our price strategy, going up our product price in the quarter 2. In NAFTA market, we sold aftershave for $185 and perfume for $319. In the EU market, we sold aftershave for $195 and perfume for $349. We moved up prices further to maintain the premium segment, competing directly with Posatis because consumers demand in this quarter was expected to be high.

However, in the second quarter in 2013, the EU market took a serious crisis due to economic problems. This affected heavily our company, making a lot of product inventory, and almost no sales in the EU. Net income plunged to -44297.1 USD. During recovery of the market, our company reduces aftershaves price in quarter 3 because of of the demand reduction Millennium Corp. decided to adopt the strategy increasing price.We have decreased the range of $5 for aftershave Zeus in each area.

Page 12

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

In the end quarter 2013, Millennium Corp. conducted discount strategy for aftershave product to encourage buying and increase market share, the price of aftershave Zeus was $169 and $175 per unit in NAFTA and EU respectively. Posatis Corp. in this quarter kept the price at high-end level for aftershave, so they did not make up the most of market share. While due to the proper decision, we attained the goal about market share and NPV. Marketing Programs In 2013, we expanded the distribution system in some potential areas such as Houston (Texas), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), Phoenix (Arizona), SanDiego (California), Detroit (Michigan), Denver (Ohio), Lousiville (Kentucky), New Orlean (Louisiana), Miami (Florida) in US; Ottawa (Ontario - Quebec), Winniepeg (Manitoba), Quebec City (Quebec) in Canada; Manchester, Liverpool, Marseille, Lyon, Roma, Vernice, Copenhagen, Marid in EU market. We also had Duty free shop in some International Airport. In addition, with online store and Catalogue, customers will be scheduled for a pre-arranged delivery day once or twice a week, depending on the quantity and timeline of product needed. In stable development period, our company concentrated on Publicity and Public Relations by introducing products and firm on the press, posting some news related to firm on the media, organizing the press conference, drafting the press release such as Finance Release, Pictorial Release, Video news Release. Moreover, we enhanced the brand and reputation of the company in social activities such as charity for poor people, campaign for environment.

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

Advertising Expenses In 2013, customers were aware of the company's image, so Millennium Corp. reduced the advertising expenditure. Especially, we raised advertising expenditure of all products of two areas in the fourth quarter. Total costs of advertising in 2013 were about 1,4million USD, including over $700,000 for quarter 4.

Market Trends Perfume is just one of the many faces of fashion, and it has its phases and fads, too. There are some types of perfume which are really being eclipsed, and the trends might surprise our modern customers. Millenium manufactures perfume with exclusive quality. We constantly search new suppliers of organic raw materials for the best quality of our products. Besides, we negotiate the best purchasing prices to increase margins of goods.

Page 14

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

About the Price: Natural perfuming ingredients are always more expensive than man made. The modern noses are cued to modern fragrance elements. Since the ingredients in natural perfume are limited, the things man can come up with are limited and the public clamors for new new new all the time. Naturals just can't deliver on that score. Finally, naturals never are that strong smelling. Naturals fade fast and just don't deliver the novelty which everyone is craving now. Have a strong attachment to nature will be a very popular trend in perfume the future. Our perfume manufacturers are more interested in nature in the production process. They add odorless compounds in perfume recipes to preserve them from infection after one year or just a few drops of musk are enough to keep odors longer. Shaving has been a part of the male experience. But even with todays high-tech razors, there is a lots of men aftershave. Mens today is ussually difficult to choose the good ones. The new trends for the global aftershave, in which men with fresh natural scents, convincing style strong man, masculine, young and liberal... with the woody scent. So, the current positive trends? Sandalwood, banana, and jasmine are real leaders. Sounds like India & Pakistan are the trend setters here, and they are. Art follows success. Add a good dollop of coconut and that is the sexiest way to smell circa 2012. It is always difficult to predict sales levels, and is even more difficult in a challenging economic environment. We continue to take steps to reduce our expenses by reducing employee headcount and advertising expenses, where feasible, as we anticipate launching newly licensed brands in fiscal year 2012, and are cautiously optimistic that we are positioned for a profitable fiscal year 2012 with our expected product mix and revised cost structure. The cost structure requires additional spending for development and advertising and promotional expenses. In addition, the new launch are with celebrities (either entertainers or athletes), which require substantial royalty commitments and whose careers and/or appeal could change drastically, both positively and negatively, based on a single event. If our new product introductions is unsuccessful, or the appeal of a celebrity that is tied to any of our fragrances or accessory product brands diminishes, it could result in a substantial reduction in profitability and operating cash flows. We also continue developing our new market in Asia. Launched for the most part in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and department stores in another Asia country, fuels the growth of our industry.

Sales Revenue and Net Income The Sales revenue and net income have significant changes between years. We can see that sales revenue in 2012 is higher than in 2013, because in 2013 our industry in particular and other industries had to face the crisis in Greece-EU. As a result, the second quarters of 2013, all firms in the scent industry were declined seriously in sales revenue, especially in EU. The return on sales (ROS ratio) of our firm was not high, approximately 23.5% in 2012 and 18% in 2013, it proves that our firm is not get high earnings rate on a product. We ready use a large amount of costs to stimulate sales, which will enable Millennium Corp sustainable development.

In our strategy, we planned to focus in perfume market at the beginning. This ratio was relatively stable over two years, in which the proportion of Perfume was stood out, in our
Page 17

oppinion was not due to quality or price. The fact that Perfume's prices are always higher than Aftershave's, so the reason is that Perfume is a substitute for Aftershave, and the trend of consumers now prefer the perfume, especially in Europe. But we still not underestimate the profit of aftershave products, and we are making a plan to stimulate sales of this product.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements Consolidated Income Statement Sales Revenue and Net Income This is two important accounts in the consolidated income statement and they show the performance of our firm. If considered separately for each year, as we analyzed above, second and third quarter are two difficult quarters in sales, so the sales revenue and net income is the lowest, especially when the crisis took place in Greece, our firm has been affected quite seriously, net income was -44297$. At present we are in the recovery phase, as evidenced by sales revenue and net income in the 4th quarter of 2013 are 6606915$ and 1150133$. The 4th quarter of 2012 is the quarter with the highest sales revenue and net income, 7504103$ and 1904037$. The Sales Revenue and Net Income in 2012 are higher than 2013 for each quarter, indicating the competitive environment is increasingly fiercely, and customers' demand increased strongly, so we had creat a new development plan for our firm for the years after. Less: Progressing Cost This cost presents the reprogressing product and turn them back in inventory. This cost helps us to control the payment for quality control to make our products better.

Q4 2013 2012 Q3 Q2 Q1

Q4 Less progressing proportional to market demand, which is low in the second and Q3 the third quarter and high in the first and Q2 the fourth quarter. Because customers' s Q1 demand inscreased highly, so even 0 2000 4000 6000 8000 though our firm had increased the quality control cost but still increased cost less progressing, so we will adjust the quality control cost increases strongly, further aims to reduce this account to zero.

Advertising and Quality Control These two types of costs kept increasing year by year shows that our firm always concentrates in stimulating sales through Pull-strategy. But we also use Push-strategy by increasing commission and base salary of sales reps (presented by Sales Expense). Both

strategies we use are very effective, the evidence although we faced the crisis in the EU but we have recovered very quickly and now after only two quarters our stoch price, sales revenue, net income... are approximately the highest in the past and keep increasing, promises to increase dramatically over the past. Those charts below are the changes in advertising cost, quality control cost and sales expense.

Bad Debt
0.60%

This account can be viewed as a risk, when customers lose their ability to pay, our firm is affected. The rate of bad debts of our firm is stable and is not disproportionately large. The lowest was in the first quarter of 2012 with 0.22% and the highest is in the fourth quarter of 2013 with 0.48%. Interest Expense

0.50% 0.40% 0.30% 0.20% 0.10% 0.00% Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2012 2013

This was very low, since the first 300000 quarter of 2013 the interest expense is 250000 17500 per quarter; this is the bond 200000 interest, indicating a very strong 150000 financial capacity. When we first 100000 started the business we had to borrow 50000 a special loan, so interest expense was 0 very high in the first quarter, but only Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2012 2013 after a quarter of operation, we solved this special loan, and not to borrow more in the next quarter. In 2012, our dept structure contained special loan, long term dept and bonds. But after a year, we just had to pay bonds interest, it proved that our business was really great and we could pay back after a year of operation. We now retain the bonds simply because of leverage and bonds have the lowest interest rate in the dept tools. Receivables Factored and Factor Cost These are based on our risk management program. By paying factor cost, we may soon receive money from receivable account for the next quarter, which increases an amount of cash-in-hand to be able to manage those changes arise. Our firm's cash-in-hand is always available in five beginning quarters, so we do not use them, But after facing crisis in Eu, and preparing for fourth quarter - the most favorable sales quarter, we planned to apply them. And the factor cost is 4, 25% of receivable factor.

Miscellaneous Expense This is our hiring and training cost. Based on the Human Resource's plan, we set out a training program and then measured cost for this. This figure is quite low but it does not mean we do not focus on training staff, but because our employees have confidence in our firm so we do not have to spend too much money on hiring new employees, in the fourth quarter of 2013 we spent a huge amount for training for new knowledge in the new environment. Consolidated Balance Sheet Cash This is the amount of cash in hand, 3500000 used to prepare next quarter 3000000 operation. In addition to costs for 2500000 business, we also spent a great 2000000 amount of cash in hand for 1500000 repurchasing shares, dividends but 1000000 our cash was still high that 500000 demonstrate strong financial 0 performance of our firm. The cash of Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 our firm tend to rise in the three 2012 2013 beginning quarters and declined in the last quarter, because in the 4th quarter we usually increase the costs for business because this is the hot sales quarter of year as well as the time for increasing massively our spending for the dividends. Inventories

Our inventories are expected in addition to fully satisfy customer's demand, it use to control product prices. Usually Inventories are higher in the second quarter becourse this is the most difficult in years, and in 2013 this is the time of the crisis in Greece. And now we have a very good estimate of customer demand, so the amount of

Page 28

ANNUAL REPORT Millennium Corporation

inventories in the last quarter was maintained at a low number, in 4th quarter of 2013 inventories of ours only $584725.75. Account receivable Approximately 40% of Sales revenue that is deferred accounts of customers, shall comply with firm policy, we use it to stimulate sales, which customers can be proactive in the distribution of funds. However, it also has risks, and is expressed through Bad Dept; we always try to maintain it as low as possible. Account Payable This is the amount of capital that companies can take up with the interest rate by zero and equivalent to 25% administrative costs of a quarter. Since 2013, We does not use financing in the long term dept, our firm's capital structure is simple, only including bonds and equity, this simplifies the management of capital budgets, ensure the solvency of our company. When the company has no debt, will be much easier in the mobilization dept when require, but our firm retains this structure even though we have just dealed with the crisis, demonstrating our firm's capacity. We issued 700,000 bonds with low interest rates 1.75%, as mentioned above is the lowest interest rates in debt instruments, so we maintain the number of bonds. Number of shares of our firm was on a decline, because we had run shares repurchase program since the 3rd of 2012, to maximize the value of shareholders investment. And we stopped at 300,000 shares, since that is the best number. If more than 300,000, the profit shareholders will be lower, but less than 300,000, the shares will become less attractive because the number is too low, that is what we concern. And now with 300000 shares issued, we easily increased the EPS and of course the dividends. We promise in next year, our dividends will be the highest in the stock market due to our strong financial capability.

Retained earnings This is the account where gains and losses are recorded to the Stockholder. Retained earnings of our firm was always positive, so shareholders can assured that we always have the ability to pay high dividends. Especially whether the crisis in Greece, in addition to

we mentioned above, we ran stock repurchase program and increased dividend massively over the quarter, but retained earnings was still very high. Consolidated Cash Flow Beginning Cash Balance This is calculated by the last quarterly statement cash balance less the cost of imported goods the quarter after, through quarters, this number is always positive, prove that our firm's financial calculations were correct, so our firm hasn't had special loan since the second quarter of 2012. Net Cash Sales Approximately 60% of that quarter sales revenue. This is the amount customers pay first; the rest is recorded in account receivable the balance sheet. The birth of this clause has been mentioned above. Collect of Receivable As mentioned above this is the customer's debt, and it is collected at the beginning of our next quarter. Similarly, beginning Account Payable is the money paid for the occupancy of Administrative Expense from the previous quarter. Beginning Special Loan This is the special dept that is applied when our firm does not have enough money to operate; it has the highest interest rate, so we try hard to avoid it. Liked we mentiones above, when we first started the business we had to borrow this kind of dept with $2720290. But after a quarter of operation, we could pay back this dept. After that we succeed in avoiding special loan by using long term dept and bonds. Now we only have to repay bonds prove that our financial capability is high. Repurchase Common Shares Like we mentioned above, since the third quarter of 2012, we had run stock repurchase program, this account present how much we have to pay to repurchase stock. And the repurchase stock is 10% of the standout stock.
