Cathay International Holdings Limited
("Cathay" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Hong Kong, 30 August 2017 - Cathay International Holdings
Limited (LSE: CTI.L), an operator and investor in the growing
healthcare sector in the People's Republic of China, today
announces its Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June
2017.
Financial Highlights
-- Group revenue increased 1.5% to USD62.0 million (H1 2016:
USD61.1 million) despite a 4.9% devaluation of RMB during the
period
-- Group gross profit decreased marginally to USD29.2 million (H1 2016: USD31.4 million)
-- Group operating profit decreased marginally to USD4.7 million (H1 2016: USD5.5 million)
-- Group recorded two one-off incomes at Lansen: USD15.4 million
from partial disposal of Starry shares and USD2.6 million from
receipt of compensation relating to the insurance claim for damaged
inventories fully written-off in 2015
-- Group finance costs were USD5.5 million (H1 2016: USD4.1 million)
-- Group profit after tax was USD16.6 million (H1 2016: USD0.7 million)
-- Group profit attributable to owners of the parent was USD5.7
million (H1 2016: loss of USD1.9 million)
-- Excluding one-off incomes, Group loss after tax was USD1.4
million (H1 2016: profit of USD0.7 million) and Group loss
attributable to owners of the parent was USD3.4 million (H1 2016:
USD1.9 million); both increases in loss were due to increase in
finance costs
Operational Highlights
The Group continues to focus on its three core businesses:
pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical and healthcare.
Lansen
-- revenue increased 2.4% driven by pharmaceutical sales growth,
partly offset by decrease in overall cosmeceutical sales
-- 27.3% sales growth from pharmaceuticals: mainly from Pafulin, one of Lansen's core products
-- noticeable cosmeceutical sales growth from both Kefumei
collagen masks and Yuze skincare products. However, for Fillderm,
more time is needed to educate the market and promote as the
understanding and use of collagen injectable fillers are still at a
relatively early stage
-- developing Pafulin for use in other indications and geographies
-- identifying suitable products from its list of Chinese
medicine licences to build a portfolio of Chinese Specialty
Medicines in line with China's strategy in promoting traditional
Chinese medicines
Natural Dailyhealth
-- revenue increased by 118.3%, due to increased business
activities following the realignment of businesses between Lansen
Natural Dailyhealth
-- exploring opportunities to develop new plant extract products
and to establish long-term agreements with sizeable customers to
supply higher margin plant extracts under customers'
specification
-- in going downstream, applied for registration of 26 health
and nutrition supplements and is embarking on studies of production
and branding of healthcare products
Botai
-- renewed the production license for Fillderm from CFDA in the first quarter of 2017
-- entered into a renewed distribution agreement with Lansen to jointly distribute Fillderm
-- starting to build its own salesforce to work with Lansen, but
educating the market about Fillderm and penetrating the market will
take time and market reception is uncertain at this stage
-- started to develop collagen based cosmeceutical products with
the aim of building a portfolio of products
Haizi
-- lower production and sales of inositol due to lower
production of raw material (phytin) as a result of low phosphorus
content in corn water supply; coupled with low inositol market
price, revenue decreased by 14.5%
-- technical improvements made to control the issue on low phosphorus content in corn water
-- focus on improving quality and quantity of phytin production
to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs for inositol; and
to support the production requirement for food grade DCP
-- completing the food grade DCP facility renovation and start
commercial production in the second half of 2017
Hotel
-- revenue increased in RMB terms but dropped slightly by 3.1% in USD terms
-- no significant change in the hotel market in Lowu, Shenzhen
-- food and beverage sales showed improvement
Commenting on the interim results, Mr. Lee Jin-Yi, CEO of Cathay
International Holdings Limited said: "Changing market conditions
are still impacting our business. Whilst some business segments
have adapted and are now starting to see the benefits of the
Group's diversification strategy, other units are still
transitioning. In the short term, Haizi will continue to face
pricing pressure, Lansen will need to expand its distribution
network and streamline its product portfolio to withstand the
fast-changing regulatory environment and expenses at Group level
will increase relative to that in the first half. All these factors
will add pressure to the Group's performance. Nevertheless, I am
confident that our business diversification strategy will deliver
value for shareholders over the long term."

MANAGEMENT DICUSSION AND ANALYSIS
GROUP PERFORMANCE
The Group continues to develop its three core businesses:
pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical and healthcare.
During the first half of 2017, the Group's revenue increased
slightly to USD62.0 million (H1 2016: USD61.0 million), despite the
4.9% RMB devaluation against USD. Lansen's specialty
pharmaceuticals and Natural Dailyhealth's plant extracts for
healthcare products both recorded sales growth but this growth was
offset by the decrease in sales of inositol and Fillderm. Inositol
production reduced during the period caused by a low phosphorus
content in raw materials and continued low market price for
inositol. For Fillderm, more time and resources are required to
educate and develop the Chinese market on the use of collagen
injectable fillers which are still at a relatively early stage. The
hotel's revenue improved slightly in RMB terms (dropped in USD
terms) and food and beverage sales improved based on an increase in
the all-day dining and banqueting business.
The Group's gross profit decreased to USD29.2 million (H1 2016:
USD31.4 million); however, the group gross profit in RMB terms
remained relatively flat. During the period, the average gross
margin decreased to 47.1% (H1 2016: 51.4%) mainly due to the
relative sales increase in lower margin plant extracts at Natural
Dailyhealth in the Group's sales mix and the increased negative
margin of inositol at Haizi.
Despite the decrease in Group's gross profit by USD2.2 million,
the Group's operating profit decreased by a smaller extent of
USD0.8 million to USD4.7 million (H1 2016: USD5.5 million). This
was due to a reduction in the Group's administration expenses from
cost management and a reversal of share option costs under the
Company's share option plan, but offset by an increase in Group's
selling and marketing expenses, mainly at Lansen, to support the
increase in specialty pharmaceuticals sales.
During the period, Lansen realised post-tax gain of USD15.4
million on partial disposal of shares in Starry and received
insurance claim settlement of USD2.6 million on flood damaged
inventories, of which USD4.3 million was fully written off in
2015.
The Group incurred higher finance costs at USD5.5 million (H1
2016: USD4.1 million) due to the increase in effective borrowing
rate on the rise in LIBOR and the expensing of the remaining
unamortised bank fee on a facility refinanced prior to its
maturity.
As a result, the Group's after tax profit before non-controlling
interests for the period was USD16.6 million (H1 2016: USD0.7
million). The Group's profit attributable to owners of the parent
for the period was USD5.7 million (H1 2016: loss of USD1.9
million). Excluding the gain on partial disposal on Starry and the
insurance claim settlement described above, the Group's after tax
loss before non-controlling interests for the period was USD1.4
million (H1 2016: profit of USD0.7 million) and the Group's loss
attributable to owners of the parent for the period was USD3.4
million (H1 2016: USD1.9 million); both decreases were due to
increase in finance costs described above.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Lansen
To cope with stringent government policies and pricing pressure
in the market, during the period, Lansen has begun to focus on
growing pharmaceutical volumes by extending its distribution
network to cover local and community hospitals and is also
strengthening its education, marketing and distribution efforts
within key product areas, including the development of Pafulin for
other indications and geographies. One of the national development
strategies in China is the promotion of traditional Chinese
medicines, which presents opportunities for Lansen to develop a
portfolio of Chinese Specialty Medicines ("CPM"). Lansen has
already identified a number of suitable products from its list of
Chinese traditional medicine licences that would fit into this
portfolio and within its extended sales network.
Natural Dailyhealth
In addition to continuing to develop existing plant extract
products and improving production efficiency and costs, Natural
Dailyhealth is exploring opportunities to develop new plant extract
products and to establish long-term agreements with sizeable
customers to supply them with higher margin plant extracts under
customers' specification. In preparing downstream diversification
to healthcare products, Natural Dailyhealth has completed
application for registration of 26 health and nutrition
supplements, It expects to gradually receive registration approvals
from 2018 onwards and is preparing applications for another batch
of 23 products. Natural Dailyhealth is also embarking on studies of
production and branding of downstream healthcare products.
Botai
Botai renewed the production license from the China Food and
Drug Administration for Fillderm in the first quarter of 2017. On
30 March 2017, Botai and Lansen entered into a renewed distribution
agreement to jointly distribute Fillderm. Educating the China
market about collagen injectable fillers and building a separate
salesforce at Botai both require time and so Botai expects Fillderm
to penetrate the market at a slower pace than before as the market
reception for Fillderm is uncertain at this stage.
Botai has also started to develop a series of collagen based
products which should enrich the Group's cosmeceutical product
portfolio.
Haizi
During the period, Haizi's production of phytin (raw material of
inositol) decreased due to low phosphorus content in corn water
supply, which resulted in a lower production volume of inositol.
Haizi has made certain technical improvements which have solved and
control the issue surrounding low phosphorus content in corn
water.
Haizi is focusing on improving the quality and quantity of its
phytin production, with the aim to enhancing production efficiency
and reducing costs for its inositol production, as well as
supporting its food grade DCP production requirement. These will
enhance the overall competitiveness and product value of Haizi.
Haizi targets to achieve its food grade DCP facility renovation and
start commercial production during the second half this year.
Hotel
There was no significant change in the hotel market in Lowu,
Shenzhen during the period. The Hotel will continue to improve its
food and beverage sales. The Hotel is discussing with IHG on room
reconfiguration strategy to maximise revenue generation.
Outlook
The changing market environment continues to bring numerous
challenges, as well as opportunities to the Group.
In the short term, Haizi will continue to face pricing pressure.
Lansen will make further changes in its distribution network and
will review its product portfolio and development pipeline to
withstand the fast-changing market environment. Such review may
lead to provisions on products or products under development that
no longer offer market potential. Lansen and Botai will incur
marketing expenses associated with investing in and educating the
market for Fillderm. Fees and expenses at Group level will increase
relative to that in the first half. All these factors will add
pressure to the Group's underlying results.
However, the Group will continue its strategy to develop its
three core businesses: pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical and healthcare
business, improve quality, enhance production efficiency and ensure
compliance.

Lansen
Despite a 4.9% RMB devaluation, Lansen recorded a 2.4% increase
in revenue to USD50,465,000 (H1 2016: USD49,269,000).
Sales of pharmaceutical products were up by 27.3% to
USD37,587,000 (H1 2016: USD29,525,000), of which, Pafulin's sales
grew by 33.5% to 27,965,000 (H1 2016: USD20,943,000), sales of MMF
tablets were down 9.1% to USD2,320,000 (H1 2016: USD2,552,000) and
sales of Hepai increased by 15.9% to USD1,362,000 (H1 2016:
USD1,175,000). Bio-Rad's sales were USD705,000 (H1 2016:
USD343,000). Generic drugs' sales increased by 9.5% to USD4,922,000
(H1 2016: USD4,493,000), of which sales of Bazhenkeli (for women's
healthcare), included in the Chinese essential drug list, increased
by 39.6% to USD3,595,000 (H1 2016: USD2,576,000).
Sales of cosmeceutical products decreased by 40.0% to
USD7,914,000 (H1 2016: USD13,184,000). This significant decrease
was mainly due to distribution agents for collagen injectable
fillers not replenishing their stocks. More time and resources are
required to educate and develop the Chinese market on the use of
collagen injectable fillers which are still at a relatively early
stage and the market reception is uncertain at this stage. On the
other hand, sales of Comfy Collagen Dressing mask (Kefumei) and
Yuze brand skincare products continued to do well and grew
significantly by 55.3% and 56.5% to USD4,380,000 (H1 2016:
USD2,820,000) and USD3,187,000 (H1 2016: USD2,037,000)
respectively.
Sales of health products (including plant extract and healthcare
products) were USD4,964,000 (H1 2016: USD6,560,000). This decrease
was due to the strategic realignment in production capacity and
management structure of the plant extract business within the
Group.
In total, Lansen's gross profit was USD29,009,000 (H1 2016:
USD28,991,000). There was a slight decrease in overall gross margin
to 57.5% (H1 2016: 58.8%) which mainly resulted from lower gross
profit margin in cosmeceutical and healthcare products. Gross
margin of pharmaceutical drugs was 68.0% (H1 2016: 68.9%) and
cosmeceutical products was 35.8% (H1 2016: 55.9%). Gross margin of
healthcare products dropped to 12.7% (H1 2016: 19.2%).
Lansen's operating profit decreased by 11.8% to USD6,995,000 (H1
2016: USD7,934,000). Operating profit margin was 13.9% (H1 2016:
16.1%). The decrease in the operating profit margin was mainly due
to higher selling and marketing expenses to support the increase in
specialty pharmaceuticals sales but was partly offset by the
reduction of administration expenses during the period. The selling
and marketing expenses to revenue ratio rose to 32.0% (H1 2016:
29.3%) mainly due to the change in product mix and resulted in a
11.8% increase in selling and marketing expenses to USD16,170,000
(H1 2016: USD14,459,000). Lansen's administration expenses
decreased by 17.5% to USD6,566,000 (H1 2016: USD7,954,000) due to
tighter control over its spending.
Lansen's 12.6% owned associate, Starry, increased its profit
contribution to USD1,147,000 (H1 2016: USD1,123,000), mainly due to
the increase in Starry's net income but was offset by smaller
equity interest owned compared to last year as a result of the
dilutive impact of Starry's IPO in March 2016 effecting Lansen's
interest for the full six months of H1 2016 and also the partial
disposal by Lansen of its holding in Starry during the first half
of 2017.
Lansen's profit before non-controlling interests increased to
USD22,483,000 (H1 2016: USD5,642,000) due to a net gain of
USD15,422,000 arising from disposal of 4,175,000 shares (out of
19,350,000 shares owned) in Starry and an insurance claim
settlement of USD2,565,000 from the flooding claim made in 2015
against its stock. Excluding such net gain and claim settlement,
Lansen's profit before non-controlling interests decreased to
USD4,496,000 (H1 2016: USD5,642,000) mainly due to decrease in
operating profit.
Ningbo Liwah has not made any provision during the period for
the potential litigation claim from Shenzhen Neptunus
Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which was announced after the
interim results date on 6 July 2015. For the reasons given in note
6 to these interim financial statements, which are similar /
identical to those cited in prior statements, no subsequent
provision has been made.
Starry
Lansen has a 12.6% equity interest in an associated company,
Starry, which shares are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Lansen's investment in Starry as at 30 June 2017 was recorded under
equity accounting at USD26,605,000 (31 December 2016:
USD32,147,000) in the Group's balance sheet. Based on Starry's
closing price of RMB31.39 per share as at 30 June 2017, the market
value of Lansen's 12.6% interest in Starry was approximately
USD70,315,000. The difference of USD43,710,000 between the book
value and the market value of Starry was not reflected in the
financial statements.
Haizi
During the period, Haizi recorded revenue of USD3,571,000 (H1
2016: USD4,179,000) from sales of inositol and DCP. Haizi produced
390 tonnes (H1 2016: 626 tonnes) and 2,216 tonnes (H1 2016: 3,268
tonnes) of inositol and feed grade DCP respectively, and sold a
total of 680 tonnes (H1 2016: 617 tonnes) of inositol and 2,815
tonnes (H1 2016: 2,325 tonnes) of feed grade DCP. The average
selling price of inositol was approximately USD5.0 per kg (H1 2016:
USD6.8 per kg) during the period as a result of the low market
price of inositol and devaluation of RMB.
Haizi's gross loss was USD1,763,000 (H1 2016: USD948,000) and
its gross margin was -49.4% (H1 2016: -22.7%), primarily due to the
low production volume caused by low phosphorus content raw material
and low inositol market selling price. Haizi's operating loss was
USD2,986,000 (H1 2016: loss of USD2,255,000) and its net loss was
USD3,525,000 (H1 2016: loss of USD2,560,000).
With the constraint in the raw material, in order to reduce the
unit production cost of inositol, Haizi is working on improving its
output efficiency of phytin (the raw material for making inositol)
by refining its extraction method, decreasing its consumption of
ancillary raw materials and modifying its processes to produce
higher quality DCP.
Natural Dailyhealth
The key business of Natural Dailyhealth include sales of
bilberry, choline glycerophosphate (which helps brain development),
gingko extracts and plant extract subcontracting services.
Natural Dailyhealth's revenue increased by 118.3% to
USD4,163,000 (H1 2016: USD1,907,000) mainly due to an increase in
business activities following the realignment of businesses between
Lansen and Natural Dailyhealth. It achieved a gross profit of
USD1,013,000 (H1 2016: USD397,000).
Botai
Botai signed a distribution agreement with Lansen in March 2017
to sell its collagen injectable fillers via Lansen. Botai's revenue
in the first half was USD67,000 (H1 2016: USD2,447,000) mainly
because distribution agents have not replenished their stock which
was purchased in H1 2016.
Botai's gross profit was USD56,000 and its margin was 83.6% (H1
2016: 76.6%). The operating loss was USD429,000 (H1 2016: profit of
USD1,400,000).
More time and resources are required to educate and develop the
Chinese market on the use of collagen injectable fillers which are
still at a relatively early stage and the market reception is
uncertain at this stage. In addition to Lansen's sales force, Botai
has also begun to set up its own sales team to sell the products in
selected markets. Lansen will continue to be responsible for
running campaigns to promote and position the product and make it
known to cosmetic consumers, beauty consultants and doctors.
Hotel Operations
Hotel revenue dropped by 3.1% in the first half to USD6,306,000
(H1 2016: USD6,506,000), mainly due to the devaluation of RMB
during the period. There was no significant change in the Lowu,
Shenzhen market during the period. The Hotel's average room rate
decreased slightly to USD111 (H1 2016: USD115). Room occupancy went
down slightly to 70.2% (H1 2016: 72.0%). If we take out the RMB
devaluation impact, the hotel actually recorded a slight increase
in both revenue and average room rate.
The Hotel's food and beverage sales increased by 5.0% to
USD1,919,000 (H1 2016: USD1,828,000), mainly due to increases in
revenue of its all-day dining restaurant and banqueting
business.
The Hotel's operating profit was USD1,078,000 (H1 2016:
USD935,000) mainly because of higher food and beverage profit
margins.
The Hotel is currently ranked seventh amongst 2,798 hotels in
Shenzhen by Tripadvisor, reflecting customer satisfaction of the
Hotel's high quality service. The Hotel will continue its strategy
of maintaining high quality service through extensive staff
training and aims to grow in both the business and transient
segments.
The Hotel is discussing with IHG on room reconfiguration
strategy to maximise revenue generation.
Corporate Office
Corporate overheads decreased by USD789,000 to USD1,430,000 (H1
2016: USD2,219,000) mainly due to the reversal of USD944,000 (H1
2016: USD450,000) on share options lapsed in the current
period.
Borrowings and Finance Costs
As at 30 June 2017, the Group's net borrowings had decreased to
USD144,607,000 (31 December 2016: USD165,100,000), due to a
decrease in Lansen's borrowings. Net gearing reduced to 88.7% (31
December 2016: 110.7%) due to the decrease in net borrowings and
increase in net assets as a result of the partial disposal of
Starry. The net gearing calculation includes Lansen's remaining
investment in Starry at book cost but not at market value as
described above.
The Group's finance costs increased to USD5,488,000 (H1 2016:
USD4,099,000) due to rise in LIBOR rate which increased the Group's
average interest rate on borrowings to 4.5% (H1 2016: 4.2%). In
addition, the Group refinanced the hotel mortgage bank loan prior
to its maturity to a four year term loan on similar terms. The
remaining unamortised bank fee of USD607,000 of the previous hotel
mortgage bank loan was written off during the period.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements of Cathay International Holdings Limited (the "Company")
and its subsidiaries (hereafter collectively known as the "Group")
for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (the "Interim Financial
Statements") have been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB").
The Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the
information required in annual financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") (which
collective term includes all applicable individual International
Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations as approved by
the IASB, and all applicable individual International Accounting
Standards and Interpretations as originated by the Board of the
International Accounting Standards Committee and adopted by the
IASB), and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015. The
Interim Financial Statements are neither audited nor reviewed by
the Group's auditor.
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the
historical cost basis except for the hotel properties and certain
financial liabilities that are measured at fair values.
Save as described in note 2 "Adoption of new and revised IFRSs",
which are effective for the Group's financial period beginning on 1
January 2017, the accounting policies adopted in the Interim
Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the
preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2016.
During the reporting period, the Group has a profit of
USD16,633,000 and at the end of reporting period, its current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by USD45,179,000. The
Interim Financial Statements have been prepared based on the
assumption that the Group can be operated as a going concern and
will have sufficient working capital to finance its operation in
the next twelve months from 30 June 2017.
As in the past, the Group will start negotiation with the
relevant banks on extension or renewal of the bank borrowings a few
months prior to their respective maturities and obtain the
approvals from the relevant banks before their respective
maturities. Notwithstanding the operating cash flow from certain of
its subsidiaries, as at the end of the reporting period, the Group
does not foresee that the bank borrowings will not be renewed or
extended before maturity. The Group is also exploring options to
secure long term funding, including debt and/or equity, to
re-finance part of the bank borrowings and partial disposal equity
interest of associate. Accordingly, the Group should be able to
meet in full its financial obligations as and when they fall due
for the next twelve months from 30 June 2017 without significant
curtailment of operations and the directors of the Company are
satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the Interim Financial
Statements on a going concern basis.
Should the Group be unable to continue in business as going
concern, adjustments would have to be made to the Interim Financial
Statements accordingly.
2. ADOPTION OF NEW OR REVISED IFRSs
In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the
first time, the following new amendments to IFRSs issued by the
IASB that are relevant for the preparation of the Group's Interim
Financial Statements.

Unrealised Losses

The application of the above amendments in the current interim
period has no material effect on the amounts reported in these
Interim Financial Statements and/or disclosures set out in these
Interim Financial Statements.
The Group has not early adopted the following new and revised
standards, amendments or interpretations that have been issued but

4. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The provision for current tax has been made in respect of the
assessable profits arising in the People's Republic of China (the
"PRC") during the period.
5. PROFIT/(LOSS) PER SHARE
The calculation of the basic and diluted profit/(loss) per share
attributable to the owners of the Company is based on the following

For the period ended 30 June 2017, the computation of diluted
profit/(loss) per share does not include the 5,664,035 Common
Shares (six months ended 30 June 2016: 4,523,842 Common Shares)
contingently issuable to Mr. Lee Jin-Yi as the conditions for their
issue were not met throughout the period.
For the period ended 30 June 2017, the computation of diluted
profit/(loss) per share did not assume the incremental shares from
outstanding share options because the exercise price of options
exceeded market price. For the period ended 30 June 2016, the
computation of diluted profit/(loss) per share did not assume the
incremental shares from outstanding share options because the share
options have anti-dilutive effect.
6. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
On 6 July 2015, the Company announced that its subsidiary,
Lansen Pharmaceutical Holdings Limited ("Lansen"), made a
regulatory announcement regarding the legal proceedings (the
"Litigation") initiated by Shenzhen Neptunus Biological Engineering
Company Limited (the "Claimant") against Lansen's subsidiary,
Ningbo Liwah Pharmaceutical Company Limited ("Ningbo Liwah"). On 24
August 2015, Ningbo Liwah has received the writ in relation to the
Litigation. On 15 October 2015, Ningbo Liwah and the Claimant
exchanged evidences in the preliminary stage. In the Litigation,
the Claimant alleged that it had suffered several losses due to the
use of ginkgo extract supplied by Ningbo Liwah in the Claimant's
products. The Claimant is therefore seeking damages of
approximately RMB70 million (approximately USD10.3 million as of 30
June 2017) from Ningbo Liwah, as well as relevant legal fees.
Lansen has sought a preliminary opinion on the Litigation from its
legal counsel in the PRC, who, based on the information available
as of the date of the interim financial statement, the judgment
will be directly pronounced. As Lansen and, therefore, the Group
are not able to assess reliably the amount of provision, the Group
has not made any provision against this Litigation. Lansen will, in
accordance with the applicable laws, make every effort to protect
its interests and its shareholders' interests, actively respond to
the case and defend its position vigorously. The Company will
inform shareholders of any material developments or notify the
market when Lansen makes an announcement relevant to the
Litigation.
