The Group is engaged in the retail and wholesales of traditional Chinese medicine, health products, dried seafood, brand-named health foods and the provision of medial clinic services under the trade name of “Nam Pei Hong”. A new board of directors was appointed upon the completion of the Restructuring Agreement on 6 December 2006 (details of which please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 1 December 2006).
