Especially taking into account that the industry typically experiences a slow first quarter, this year's quarter demonstrates that the Tianjin Behigh acquisition was a strong strategic move. The substantial improvement in both sales and operating results for the first quarter is an affirmation that Niusule Biotech should continue to benefit from the strong demand for animal health products in China. When financially viable, we intend to expand our state-of-the-art plant in Tianjin to fulfill the demand of our animal health products. In targeting additional regions for future growth, we are confident the animal-health sector will particularly benefit from the rapid urbanization and consumer demand for premium food products that China continues to experience."
