The purchasing power of inland China has risen as China's economy has 
developed, and the distribution volume of apparel and other consumer goods has 
increased substantially. Centrally located vis-a-vis China's other major 
cities, Wuhan has seen its geographical importance rise as a strategic base for 
inland traffic.

NE Logistics China has established a new location in Wuhan that began 
operations using highly trained staff dispatched from another business location 
in coastal Dongguan (Guangdong Province) handling the same type of apparel to 
maintain a high level of quality.

To further enhance services and better meet the needs of its customers, the 
company will be developing a domestic trucking network and a route distribution 
network for stores in China centered on this location in the Wuhan area to 
handle daily necessities, apparel and other consumer goods.
