First Quarter of 2008 Accomplishments -- Entered into an African
Mining Project Contract of Cooperation with Shengbao Group and
South African Shengbao Mining Enterprises (collectively "Shengbao")
to purchase the prospecting and mining rights of a 35 sq. km cobalt
ore mine located in the Congo area in Africa. According to the
agreement, DLX will provide the necessary funding, equipment and
engineering staff for the mining and will produce no less than
twenty (20) tons of ore per day. With regard to any cobalt ore
mined, DLX will own 80% and Shengbao the remaining 20%. -- The
Embassy of the Congo Government visited China Sun Group to discuss
DLX's mining and production facility in Africa. The Embassy
indicated their strong support of DLX's business presence in the
Congo. -- Entered into a two-year sales and distribution agreement
with Korea's Project Development & Consultation Co., Ltd.
(PD&C). According to the agreement, PD&C will act as the
exclusive sales agent for DLX's cobaltosic oxide and lithium cobalt
oxide products in Korea. PD&C expects to generate USD $8
Million or more in product sales per year. -- Continued to serve
six battery producers in China - Hunan Shanshan Advanced Material;
CITIC Guoan Mengguli Corporation; Hunan Reshine New Material Co.,
Ltd.; Changzhou PowerGenie Materials Co., Ltd.; Xiamen Tungsten
Co., Ltd.; and Beijing Easpring Material Technology Co., Ltd., and
added new customers which include: Zhejiang Tianhong Energy
Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Wanma Battery Co., Ltd., Guangzhou
Huaneng Battery Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Sunristar Electronics Co.,
Ltd. -- Actively marketed to international customers, including
Tanaka, HLST, Sanyo, Sony, Panasonic, Nihonkagakusangyo, Maxell,
LG, Samsung, SK, Hanhua and Light & Future, all of who have
shown an interest in the DLX product line -- Through DLX's
14-person R&D team, developed proprietary nanometer
technologies as follows: 1. Nanometer Simple Metal Substance: The
sizes of these substances vary between 10-100nm. They are mainly
applied in the martial, chem- industrial, pharmaceutical, and
electronic industries and are used as an efficient catalyst,
antiseptic, combustion-supporting agent and electrode material. 2.
Nanometer Compound Metal Substance. The sizes of these substances
vary between 10-70nm and are mainly applied in the airplane and
auto manufacturing industries. These substances are used for
sterilization and are both energy-saving and extend the durability
of rubber. 3. Nanometer Metal Alloy: These are used in the plastic
and lubricant oil industries and have high tensile strength,
abrasion resistance, good sturdiness, and good oil and
chemical-resistance. -- Along with our strategic partnership with
Northeastern University, located in China, we are currently
conducting trials of new ternary materials, which are combinations
of source anode materials, as alternatives to using cobalt
exclusively in lithium ion component production. Financial Results
Revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2007 totaled
$3,735,837, representing an increase of 191%, compared to
$1,284,093 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2006. The
