Building on China Marine's success in penetrating a large convenience store chain inShanghai in 2008, the Company has initiated a private label program for one ofAsia's most recognized snack-food and confectionary chain stores. TheHong Kong-based retailer features more than 1,000 company branded products for its 250 stores throughoutHong Kong,the Philippines,Singapore and China. The chain is currently expanding its network in China to 300 stores by the end of 2009.

China Marine's Roasted Squid, Roasted Sliced Octopus, Roasted Sliced Squid, Roasted Shredded Squid and Roasted Sea Robin will be packaged in specially designed bags at China Marine's Shishi factory for delivery and placement in each of the chain's planned 300 stores. The chain markets their goods in kiosk-like locations which are featured in high-traffic retail food stores, supermarkets and shopping malls in China. The program will be managed through China Marine's distribution network to facilitate in store restocking and point of sale support. Located on the back of the private-label packaging are China Marine's company details. China Marine has forecasted revenues of $3 million for the initial year of the program, with gross margins that are consistent with its current product revenues
