subsidiaries known as "Chuming," a Dalian-based processor and
supplier of fresh and prepared meat products in China, today the

Mr. Boyle becomes the seventh member of Chuming's board, resulting
in a majority independent board, which is one of the prerequisites
for listing on a major exchange. The appointment of Mr. Boyle and
successful installation of a majority independent board will
entitle Chuming to the release of $2 million in escrowed funds that
were set aside in its recent $17 million private placement
financing which was completed in December of 2007. James Boyle has
been principal and managing partner of Expat-CFO Services Ltd. in
Shanghai since 2001. Expat-CFO serves U.S. and European
multinational companies and private equity firms including Callaway
Golf, Daymon Worldwide, Louisville Bedding and Kemin Industries,
providing interim controller and CFO services, accounting and
treasury outsourcing, and M&A transaction advisory including
due diligence, deal structuring and valuation. From 1996-2001 Mr.
Boyle worked for Dura-Line Shanghai Plastics Co., Ltd., as Business
Development and China Start-Up Manager, Deputy General Manager,
CFO, and Acting Managing Director. Mr. Boyle is fluent in Mandarin,
earning a Bachelor of Science degree from the State University of
New York Maritime College in Economics and Marine Transportation,
and an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in
International Management and Finance. He is a member of the
Institute of Management Accountants and the American Chamber of
Commerce in Shanghai, and serves as President of the Shanghai
Chapter of the Thunderbird Alumni Association. Mr. Shi Haushan,
Chairman and CEO of Chuming, welcomed James Boyle to the board,
which appointed him via unanimous vote. "Mr. Boyle adds experience
and expertise in both finance and international business to our
Board," Mr. Shi stated. "His intercultural skills are equally
important to Chuming's board as we continue our ongoing
relationship with the US capital markets and our investors," Mr.
Shi commented. Several members of the Chuming board recently
returned to China after presentations and meetings with current
shareholders and institutional investors at the Roth OC Conference
held in Laguna Niguel, California last week. Supported by a strong
management team and board, the Company is planning additional
visits to the US during 2008. About Chuming We are a Nevada
