On January 30 2008, the Company completed its first round of private equity financing since going public (commonly referred to as a "PIPE" transaction), and obtained investment funds from YU Guorui in the aggregate sum of US $550,000 for the purchase of 4,230,769 shares of the Company's restricted common stock.

"This PIPE financing allows the company to invest additional capital to fuel the growth of our retail strategy while maintaining the strong growth on the manufacturing side", said Gu XianZhong, Chairman and CEO of China Shoe Holdings.
