<p><strong>About Mouawad</strong></p>
<p><strong>MOUAWAD &#8211; Enchanting customers with magnificent jewels since 1890</strong></p>
<p>Led by 4th generation Co-Guardians, Fred, Alain  Pascal Mouawad, and backed by more than a century of excellence in its field, Mouawad remains a family business built upon artistic excellence, superb craftsmanship, trust and relationships. Mouawad designs, manufactures and sells its own exclusive jewellery and timepiece collections ranging from boutique collections and haute joaillerie to magnificent bespoke masterpieces and objects of art. The Mouawad brand has penetrated continents across the world, while retaining its eminent position as jewellers to royalty, high society, celebrities and those that appreciate the finest standards of dazzling craftsmanship. The vision at Mouawad has always been to enchant and build lifelong relationships with customers by offering a wide range of jewels and timepieces for all occasions.</p>
<p><strong>Diamond Manufacturing</strong></p>
<p>In addition to its jewellery and timepiece design and production, Mouawad also manufactures rough diamonds as a Diamond Trading Company (DTC) Sightholder through its joint venture company, Premier Diamond Alliance.</p>
<p>Diamonds and gemmology have always been a passion for the Mouawads and besides being renowned for fine jewellery and timepieces, over the years the Mouawad family has acquired some of the largest and rarest diamonds in the world and many of these historic gems carry <em>Mouawad</em> as part of their designated name. The family&#8217;s on-going support of the global industry through research and education led to third generation, Robert Mouawad, receiving a <em>Lifetime Achievement Award</em> from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and having the GIA campus named in his honour.</p>
<p><strong>Guinness World Records</strong></p>
<p>Mouawad has been honoured by the Guinness World Records four times with their most recent award for the <em>MouawadL&#8217;Incomparable Diamond Necklace</em>-the most valuable necklace in the world ($55M)-featuring the world&#8217;s largest internally flawless diamond, the Incomparable diamond (407.48 carats). In 2010 Guinness awarded Mouawad for creating the most valuable handbag in the world-the <em>Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse</em> ($3.8M). In 2003 the <em>Very Sexy Fantasy Bra</em> received a Guinness for being the most luxurious and expensive piece of lingerie ever made ($11M), and in 1990 a GWR was awarded for the <em>Mouawad Splendor</em>-at the time, the most expensive single pear-shaped diamond in the world ($12.8M).</p>
<p>With brothers Fred Mouawad heading the diamond division, Alain, the watch division and Pascal, the retail division, each Co-Guardian brings his unique business acumen and creativity to the 123 year old brand with the mission of continuing the rich heritage of creating fine jewellery and timepiece collections-while widening distribution through contemporary and accessible price points in order to increase the reach of the brand internationally.</p>

<p><span class="xn-location">BEIJING</span>, <span class="xn-chron">May 24, 2013</span> /PRNewswire/ &#8212; UTStarcom Holdings Corp. (&#8220;UTStarcom&#8221; or &#8220;the Company&#8221;) (NASDAQ: UTSI), a leading provider of media operational support services and broadband equipment products and services, today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended <span class="xn-chron">March 31, 2013</span>.</p>
<p>As previously announced, the Company closed the divestiture of its IPTV business in <span class="xn-chron">August 2012</span>, but has not yet met the requirements for reporting those results as discontinued operations because of the Company&#8217;s continuing involvement.  Therefore, to enable a comparison of results excluding the IPTV business and the amortization of PHS deferred revenue the Company is including non-GAAP comparisons throughout this press release.</p>
<p>Mr. <span class="xn-person">William Wong</span>, UTStarcom&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, &#8220;Overall, we are pleased with our performance in the first quarter of 2013.  We continued and advanced many of the strategic initiatives that we launched in late 2012 and made a concerted effort to accelerate the Company&#8217;s transition to a higher growth and more profitable business.  Furthermore, during the first quarter we concluded several important initiatives to enhance shareholder value as part of our longstanding commitment to our shareholders, including a <span class="xn-money">$30 million</span> cash tender offer and a one-for-three reverse share split.  All of our efforts are geared towards better positioning the Company for the long term and ensuring that we are delivering value to our business partners and our shareholders.  While there is certainly more to do, we are pleased with the progress we are making and the improvements that have been made in a short time.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>First Quarter 2013 Highlights</b></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>On <span class="xn-chron">January 3, 2013</span>, completed a <span class="xn-money">$30 million</span> tender offer to improve shareholder value. </li>
<li>On <span class="xn-chron">March 21, 2013</span>, effected a one-for-three reverse share split of its ordinary shares.  As a result, the Company&#8217;s authorized share capital was amended by the consolidation of 750,000,000 ordinary shares of <span class="xn-money">US$0.00125</span> par value each prior to the reverse share split into 250,000,000 ordinary shares of <span class="xn-money">US$0.00375</span> par value each after the reverse share split. Unless otherwise specified, all share and per share information in this press release has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse share split. </li>
<li>GAAP revenues in the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$37.2 million</span>, a 20.3% decrease from the first quarter of 2012. </li>
<li>Non-GAAP revenues in the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$36.7 million</span>, a 6.9% decrease from the first quarter of 2012. </li>
<li>GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2013 was 31.4%, compared to 39.5% for the first quarter of 2012. </li>
<li>Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2013 was 31.8%, compared to 38.3% for the first quarter of 2012. </li>
<li>GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom shareholders was <span class="xn-money">$5.0 million</span> and GAAP basic loss per share was <span class="xn-money">$0.13</span> for the first quarter of 2013, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom shareholders of <span class="xn-money">$4.2 million</span> and GAAP basic loss per share of <span class="xn-money">$0.08</span> for the first quarter of 2012. </li>
<li>Non-GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom shareholders was <span class="xn-money">$5.0 million</span> and non-GAAP basic loss per share was <span class="xn-money">$0.13</span> for the first quarter of 2013, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom shareholders of <span class="xn-money">$2.1 million</span> and non-GAAP basic loss per share of <span class="xn-money">$0.04</span> for the first quarter of 2012. </li>
<li>As of <span class="xn-chron">March 31, 2013</span>, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were <span class="xn-money">$136.0 million</span>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Mr. <span class="xn-person">Robert Pu</span>, UTStarcom&#8217;s Chief Financial Officer, commented, &#8220;The Company delivered reasonably sound financial performance in the first quarter of 2013.  Our non-GAAP revenues were within our expectations, we made significant progress in lowering operating expenses as planned, and we worked hard to hold our overall gross margin relatively stable during a time of transition.  In addition, our balance sheet remains strong with a cash position of approximately <span class="xn-money">$136 million</span> as of <span class="xn-chron">March 31, 2013</span>.  This enabled our shareholder value enhancements, including the tender offer and an additional investment in our strategic partner, iTV Media.  We will continue to manage our cash wisely, with a view to balancing growth, profitability and shareholder return.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>First Quarter 2013 Financial Results </b></p>
<p>As part of a plan to transition the Company into higher-growth, more profitable areas, UTStarcom successfully closed the divestiture of its IPTV business on <span class="xn-chron">August 31</span>, 2012.  As of <span class="xn-chron">March 31, 2013</span>, the Company did not meet the requirements to report results from the IPTV division separately as discontinued operations.  To enable a comparison of the financial results in year-to-date and future periods, the Company has prepared non-GAAP results.  Included below are quarterly and year-to-date non-GAAP comparisons that exclude financial results from the IPTV business and amortization of PHS deferred revenue.  The Company&#8217;s GAAP financial results and reconciliation with the non-GAAP numbers discussed in this release are at the end of this press release.</p>
<p><b>Total Revenues</b></p>
<p>Total revenues for the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$37.2 million</span>, a decrease of 20.3% from <span class="xn-money">$46.7 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012. </p>
<p>Non-GAAP total revenues for the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$36.7 million</span>, a decrease of 6.9% from <span class="xn-money">$39.4 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012. </p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Non-GAAP net sales from equipment for the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$30.3 million</span>, a decrease of 9.4% year-over-year.  The decrease was mainly caused by decreased sales of Multi-Service Access Network (&#8220;MSAN&#8221;) products in <span class="xn-location">Japan</span> and Multi-Service Optical Transport (&#8220;MSTP&#8221;) products in <span class="xn-location">Taiwan</span> which was partially offset by increased sales of Packet Transport Network (&#8220;PTN&#8221;) products in <span class="xn-location">Japan</span>. </li>
<li>Non-GAAP net sales from equipment-based services for the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$6.4 million</span>, an increase of 10.6% year-over-year. </li>
</ul>
<p><b>Gross Profit </b></p>
<p>Gross profit was <span class="xn-money">$11.7 million</span> and gross margin was 31.4% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to <span class="xn-money">$18.4 million</span> and 39.5%, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2012. </p>
<p>Non-GAAP gross profit was <span class="xn-money">$11.7 million</span> and non-GAAP gross margin was 31.8% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to <span class="xn-money">$15.1 million</span> and 38.3%, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2012. </p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Non-GAAP gross profit for equipment sales for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$11.5 million</span>, a decrease of 21.7% year-over-year.  Non-GAAP gross margin for equipment sales for the first quarter of 2013 was 37.8%, compared to 43.8% for the corresponding period in 2012.  The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to decreased gross margins in MSAN and PTN products in the first quarter of 2013. </li>
<li>Non-GAAP gross profit for equipment-based services for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$0.2 million</span>, compared to gross profit of <span class="xn-money">$0.5 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012.  Gross margin for equipment-based services for the first quarter of 2013 was 3.4%, compared to 8.0% for the corresponding period in 2012.  The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower margins in MSAN product-related services provided in the first quarter of 2013. </li>
</ul>
<p><b>Operating Expenses</b> </p>
<p>Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$15.4 million</span>, a decrease of 30.6% from <span class="xn-money">$22.2 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012. </p>
<p>Non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$15.4 million</span>, a decrease of 8.6% from <span class="xn-money">$16.8 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012. </p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$9.2 million</span>, a decrease of 23.0% year-over-year.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs as a result of the Company&#8217;s restructuring efforts and the bad debt provision reversal due to collection of a previously reserved receivable, partially offset by the accelerated depreciation of the leasehold improvement in the <span class="xn-location">Hangzhou</span> office building due to early termination of the lease. </li>
<li>Non-GAAP research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2013 were <span class="xn-money">$3.0 million</span>, a decrease of 28.2% year-over-year.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in research and development personnel costs as a result of the Company&#8217;s restructuring efforts. </li>
<li>Non-GAAP impairment of long-term investment in the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$0.1 million</span>.  </li>
<li>Non-GAAP net loss on the divestiture in the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$3.0 million</span>, compared to non-GAAP net gain of <span class="xn-money">$0.2 million</span> in the corresponding period in 2012. The net loss on the divestiture in the first quarter of 2013 was due to the disposal of the Company&#8217;s Next Generation Network related assets, specifically the mSwitch product related assets, which included <span class="xn-money">$2.7 million</span> payment to the buyer and <span class="xn-money">$0.5 million</span> of severance for the transferred employees, signing bonus, and retention bonus to incentivize certain key employees to sign employment contracts with the buyer. As of <span class="xn-chron">March 31, 2013</span>, the payments had not been made.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Operating Loss</b></p>
<p>Operating loss for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$3.7 million</span>, compared to operating loss of <span class="xn-money">$3.8 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012. </p>
<p>Non-GAAP operating loss for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$3.7 million</span>, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of <span class="xn-money">$1.8 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012. </p>
<p><b>Other Income (Expense), Net</b></p>
<p>Net other income for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$1.5 million</span>, compared to net other income of <span class="xn-money">$0.6 million</span> for the corresponding period of 2012.  Net other income in the first quarter of 2013 primarily consisted of income of <span class="xn-money">$1.3 million</span> from the release of the remaining reserve related to tax liabilities provided to the buyers of our subsidiary in Korea due to expiration of the statute of limitation. </p>
<p><b>Equity </b><b>P</b><b>ick </b><b>U</b><b>p of </b><b>L</b><b>osses of an </b><b>A</b><b>ssociate</b></p>
<p>Equity pick up of losses of an associate for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$2.0 million</span> due to 49% loss pick up from the Company&#8217;s equity investment in iTV Media. </p>
<p>The Company consolidated iTV Media since <span class="xn-chron">Oct 2010</span> due to our investment of 75% controlling interest in it. Upon the exercising of shares repurchase right in <span class="xn-chron">June 2012</span>, our ownership in iTV Media decreased from 75% to below approximately 49%.  At that point, the Company deconsolidated iTV Media and presented it by using the cost method after the first quarter of 2012 as the remaining Series A preference shares of iTV owned by the Company did not qualify as in-substance common stock due to their substantive liquidation preference and the existence of other substantive common shareholders. </p>
<p>In <span class="xn-chron">January 2013</span>, the Company invested an additional <span class="xn-money">$5.0 million</span> convertible bond into iTV Media which triggered a reassessment of the Company&#8217;s accounting for its investment in the Series A preference shares. Management concluded the remaining Series A preference shares of iTV owned by the Company now substantively participated in the risks and rewards of iTV, irrespective of the liquidation preferences, and as such qualified as in-substance common stock. Therefore, the equity method criteria had been met and the equity accounting commenced in Q1 2013.  </p>
<p>The Company consolidated a net loss of <span class="xn-money">$1.5 million</span> from iTV Media in the first quarter of 2012.</p>
<p><b>Net Income (Loss) </b></p>
<p>Net loss attributable to UTStarcom&#8217;s shareholders for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$5.0 million</span>, compared to net loss attributable to UTStarcom&#8217;s shareholders of <span class="xn-money">$4.2 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012.  Basic loss per share for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$0.13</span>, compared to basic loss per share of <span class="xn-money">$0.08</span> for the first quarter of 2012.</p>
<p>Non-GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom&#8217;s shareholders for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$5.0 million</span>, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom&#8217;s shareholders of <span class="xn-money">$2.1 million</span> for the corresponding period in 2012.  Non-GAAP basic loss per share for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$0.13</span>, compared to non-GAAP basic loss per share of <span class="xn-money">$0.04</span> for the first quarter of 2012.</p>
<p><b>Cash Flow</b></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Cash used by operating activities for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$4.7 million</span>. </li>
<li>Cash used by investing activities for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$5.8 million</span>, primarily driven by <span class="xn-money">$5.0 million</span> in investments in iTV Media. </li>
<li>Cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2013 was <span class="xn-money">$30.7 million</span>, primarily driven by <span class="xn-money">$30.0 million</span> for the tender offer transaction.</li>
</ul>
<p>As of <span class="xn-chron">March 31, 2013</span>, UTStarcom had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of <span class="xn-money">$136.0 million</span>.</p>
<p><b>Overview of Recent Key Events</b></p>
<p><i>Returning Cash to Shareholders</i></p>
<p>The Company completed a <span class="xn-money">$30 million</span> cash tender offer in the first quarter of 2013 for 25,000,000 of the Company&#8217;s outstanding ordinary shares at a purchase price of <span class="xn-money">$1.20</span> per share (number of shares and price per share have not been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split).  In addition, at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders held on <span class="xn-chron">March 21, 2013</span>, the Company&#8217;s shareholders approved a one-for-three reverse share split of the Company&#8217;s ordinary shares.  Following the purchase of the tendered shares and the effectiveness of the reverse share split, the Company had approximately 39,400,398 ordinary shares outstanding as of <span class="xn-chron">March 31, 2013</span>.  Both of these actions are expected to help enhance shareholder value in the short and long term.  </p>
<p>Further, the Company&#8217;s continued commitment to its share repurchase program reflects management&#8217;s long-term confidence in the Company&#8217;s prospects. </p>
<p>To date, the Company has repurchased approximately 12.5 million shares (number of shares has not been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split) for a total of <span class="xn-money">$15 million</span>, out of the total authorized repurchase amount of <span class="xn-money">$20 million</span> in the share repurchase program.</p>
<p><i>Regains NASDAQ Listing Compliance</i></p>
<p>On <span class="xn-chron">March 15, 2013</span>, the Company received formal notice from NASDAQ that it was not in compliance with listing requirements relating to the price per share at which the Company&#8217;s shares trade and was given 180 days to regain compliance with the listing standards.  On <span class="xn-chron">April 11, 2013</span>, the Company received formal notice from NASDAQ that it had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) as a result of the closing bid price of the Company&#8217;s ordinary shares being at <span class="xn-money">$1.00</span> per share or greater for the previous 11 consecutive business days.</p>
<p><i>Receipt of &#8220;Going-Private&#8221; Proposal</i></p>
<p>The Company&#8217;s board of directors received a preliminary non-binding proposal letter dated <span class="xn-chron">March 27, 2013</span> from a consortium consisting of one of the Company&#8217;s directors, Mr. <span class="xn-person">Hong Liang Lu</span>, and entities affiliated with him, and Shah Capital Opportunity Fund LP and <span class="xn-person">Himanshu H. Shah</span> to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company in a going private transaction for <span class="xn-money">$3.20</span> per ordinary share in cash, subject to certain conditions.  The board of directors has formed a special committee of independent directors (the &#8220;Special Committee&#8221;) to consider this proposal.  In addition, the Special Committee has appointed legal counsel and retained a financial advisor to assist it in its work.  No decisions have been made by the Special Committee with respect to the Company&#8217;s response to the proposal.  </p>
<p><b>Business Outlook </b></p>
<p>The Company views 2013 as a year of investment and continued transition.  At the same time, the Company reiterates its expectation that for 2013 it will achieve a degree of incremental improvement in overall financial performance versus 2012.  Unprofitable revenues that were removed with the IPTV divestiture will need to be replaced, and as a result total revenues for 2013 are expected to decrease from 2012 while this process is ongoing and revenue sources are in transition.  At the same time, with respect to operating performance, the Company will focus on holding margins relatively stable by maintaining a similar product mix to 2012, as well as continuing to lower operating expenses. </p>
<p>Additionally, the Company&#8217;s current outlook is based on constant currency exchange rates compared to 2012.  The depreciation of the Japanese Yen against the U.S. dollar may have a negative impact on the Company&#8217;s gross profit and gross margin, as sales generated in <span class="xn-location">Japan</span> has accounted for an increasing portion of the Company&#8217;s total revenues. </p>
<p>From a long-term perspective, the Company&#8217;s new strategic initiatives is expected to in time result in a more predictable, recurring revenue stream and higher rates of growth beginning in 2014.  More specifically, the Company anticipates profit from the new TV over IP services to become the major contributor for UTStarcom by 2015, as the new TV over IP business is expected to have gross margin exceeding 50%.</p>
<p>Mr. Wong concluded, &#8220;Looking ahead, we currently remain comfortable with our operating expectations for full year 2013 and we are confident that our new strategy positions us very well in the evolving media environment.  We expect our actions will enable us to capture the long-term opportunities that will translate into significant overall improvement in the Company&#8217;s business performance and enable us to deliver enhanced shareholder value over the long-term.&#8221; </p>
<p><b>About Non-GAAP Financial Measures </b></p>
<p>To supplement the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (&#8220;GAAP&#8221;), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the effects of the results of its divested IPTV business and PHS-related deferred revenue amortization from the results of each reported period.  For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned &#8220;Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Data&#8221; set forth at the end of this press release. </p>
<p>The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its operating performance by excluding amortization of PHS net sales and results from IPTV-related business that may not be indicative of the Company&#8217;s operating performance.  The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its operating performance and when planning for and forecasting future periods.  These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management&#8217;s internal comparisons of the Company&#8217;s current performance to its historical performance.  The Company computes its non-GAAP financial measures on a consistent basis from quarter to quarter.  The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.  The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.</p>

<p><span class="xn-location">BEIJING</span>, <span class="xn-chron">May 24, 2013</span> /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ &#8212; China Biologic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBPO, &#8220;China Biologic&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a leading fully integrated plasma-based biopharmaceutical company in <span class="xn-location">China</span>, today announced that the Company has recently learned from a public announcement issued by Shanghai RAAS Blood Products Co., Ltd. (&#8220;Shanghai RAAS&#8221;), a public company listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange, that on <span class="xn-chron">May 21, 2013</span>, Ms. <span class="xn-person">Siu Ling Chan</span> (&#8220;Ms. Chan&#8221;), one of the shareholders of the Company, and her spouse, Mr. Tung Lam, entered into a stock purchase agreement with Shanghai RAAS. According to the stock purchase agreement, Ms. Chan agreed to sell to Shanghai RAAS an aggregate of 2,657,660 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock, representing 9.9% of the Company&#8217;s outstanding shares (the &#8220;Proposed Shanghai RAAS Transaction&#8221;). Pursuant to Shanghai RAAS corporate regulations and Chinese law, the transaction is subject to obtaining approval from Shanghai RAAS&#8217;s shareholders and all necessary governmental authorities or agencies, as well as satisfying certain other closing conditions. Shanghai RAAS also stated in its announcement it has an intention to develop strategic business cooperation with the Company.</p>
<p>China Biologic would like to clarify that the Company had no knowledge of the Proposed Shanghai RAAS Transaction prior to the public announcement issued by Shanghai RAAS, nor has the Company had any communication or discussion with Shanghai RAAS regarding this transaction. The Company considers Shanghai RAAS as one of its direct competitors in <span class="xn-location">China</span> and therefore does not view the Proposed Shanghai RAAS Transaction as a viable transaction. Given the competition between Shanghai RAAS and the Company and the differences between the two companies in terms of business strategies and technological capabilities, the Company currently has no intention to discuss or explore any business cooperation with Shanghai RAAS.   </p>
<p>As disclosed in Shanghai RAAS&#8217; public announcement, it is apparent that Shanghai RAAS is aware of the fact that Ms. Chan&#8217;s shareholding status with the Company is under dispute in a pending case in <span class="xn-location">Hong Kong</span>. As previously disclosed by the Company on <span class="xn-chron">March 12, 2013</span> on a Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company was notified, by a <span class="xn-location">Hong Kong</span> solicitors firm representing a group of individuals, of a litigation (the &#8220;Hong Kong Litigation&#8221;) filed in the High Court of <span class="xn-location">Hong Kong</span> against Ms. Chan and her spouse, Mr. Tung Lam as well as certain other defendants. Based on information provided by the <span class="xn-location">Hong Kong</span> solicitors firm, the Company understands that up to 5,178,962 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock held by Ms. Chan may be brought into question during the Hong Kong Litigation. Based on the Company&#8217;s shareholder records, Ms. Chan is currently a registered shareholder of 5,362,624 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock.</p>
<p>China Biologic will closely monitor this case and further developments associated with the Proposed Shanghai RAAS Transaction and reserves the right to take any necessary and appropriate actions, including but not limited to implementing the shareholders rights plan to block the Proposed Shanghai RAAS Transaction.</p>

<p>BUSINESS REVIEW</p>
<p>Online Games Business</p>
<p>Despite the adverse impact of Chinese New Year holiday, revenue from online game business for the first quarter of 2013 increased by 11% quarter-over-quarter and by 40% year-over-year to RMB266.7 million. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily fueled by the strong growth of JX Online III, the Company&#8217;s flagship product, and MAT, the Company&#8217;s first 3D shooting game; while the year-over-year increase was also contributed by the newly launched games.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Kingsoft has been actively developing web games and mobile games, with new talents and studios joining in early 2013. The Company has started closed beta testing for two web games, T3 and Sinomon Master, and also launched several casual mobile games. The Company believes that these initiatives will enable Kingsoft to establish a foothold in these rapid growing new market segments which will enrich its game portfolio and make greater contributions to the future revenue. </p>
<p>Kingsoft Internet Security and Kingsoft WPS Office</p>
<p>In the first quarter of 2013, revenue from the application software business was RMB188.0 million, representing a slight quarter-over-quarter decrease of 1% and a year-over-year increase of 107%. Kingsoft Internet Security (KIS) has successfully transformed from a traditional software company to an internet company, contributing to the robust growth of online advertising revenue. Meanwhile, the remarkable year-over-year growth was also driven by the strong sales of Kingsoft WPS Office in domestic market.</p>
<p>During the period under review, the monthly PC-based active user base of KIS family further expanded and reached 155 million in March. The advertising revenue and value-added revenue from KIS increased by 9% quarter-over-quarter and increased fourfold year-over-year. The monthly active mobile users of KIS family reached 54 million by the end of the first quarter, and the Company will continue to invest to further explore mobile product market.</p>
<p>Due to seasonality effect, revenue from Kingsoft WPS Office decreased by 7% quarter-over-quarter but posted an 8% growth year-over-year. The monthly active users of WPS Personal Edition continued to rise to over 48 million at the end of the first quarter; and the global monthly active users of WPS mobile office jumped to 17 million in May. Since its official release in February, WPS Office for IOS ranked top in Apple&#8217;s App Store in the category of Free Chinese business APPs, and it received very positive feedbacks from users. In April, WPS for mobile was upgraded to version 5.5 to further integrate cloud storage in mobile office application, which represented a significant breakthrough in mobile office functionality.</p>
<p>In addition, the commercial version of Kingsoft Cloud for business users and cloud service platform was officially released on 27 March. The total registered users for Kingsoft Cloud has exceeded 35 million in the increasingly competitive cloud computing and cloud storage market.</p>
<p>Dr. HongJiang Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Kingsoft, concluded, &#8220;We are pleased to see that Kingsoft has attained a solid and impressive start for 2013. In addition to the exciting growth of the flagship product JX Online III, the increasing monetization capabilities of KIS business, and the continued strong sales of WPS Office, we also achieved fast expansion into mobile services in major business lines. Furthermore, Kingsoft Cloud, the Company&#8217;s strategic business, also recorded stable development. We believe the outstanding performance in the first quarter has laid a solid foundation for success in 2013. We will continue our dedication to providing the best products and services to our users and boosting the profitability of all business lines.&#8221;</p>
