ConfidentialOur initial decision to locate our China operations in Hangzhou was driven largely by the factthat our Chinese partners already had facilities there and the city?s proximity to the QiantangRiver. We thought that the river access which led on to Hangzhou Bay would be sufficient tohandle our shipping needs.As the production volume from the China plant has increased, we are seeing that significantsavings can be had by utilizing container shipping companies such as the China ShippingContainer Lines, a branch of the China Shipping (Group) Company. Most of the containershipping companies utilize ports in Hong Kong and Shanghai.While the Shanghai port is only 180 kilometers away from our current location, we are incurringadditional logistical steps in shipping out of Shanghai.ú Currently, our products are trucked to a port on the Qiantang River and loaded intoshipping containers. The containers are then loaded onto barges that make their way tothe Shanghai port. The barges dock in Shanghai where the containers are offloadedand trucked to another area of the port where they are loaded onto to the ships that willtake them to their final destinations.ú Alternatively, we could transport the products by truck to the port at Shanghai wherethey would be loaded into containers and then directly onto the ships that will be takingthem to their final destinations. However, the trucking companies, knowing that they arebeing used as an alternative to the local shipping companies to move the same productsto the Shanghai ports, generally charge just as much as the shipping companies for thesame volume of goods.We believe that the relocation of the China operations to the city of Shanghai will result insignificant cost savings, will provide our operations with a more substantial urban infrastructureand will put us into a better position to market and ship our Chinese products throughout Asiaand Europe.China Relocation MemoPage 2We have incorporated a move of the China operations to Shanghai within the next five yearsinto the strategic planning of Riordan Manufacturing and Riordan Industries.
