The principal executive office of the Company is Nansan Gongli, Nanhuan Road, Xushui County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, The People’s Republic of China 072550, and its telephone number, including area code, is 011-86-312-8605508.

Purpose of the Annual Meeting

At the annual meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters:

1.	To approve an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to authorize the classification of the Board into two classes with staggered terms;

3.	To ratify the appointment of BDO Limited as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2010; and

4.	To act on such other matters as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

Voting Rights and Revocation of Proxies

The record date with respect to this solicitation is the close of business on June 25, 2010 (the “Record Date”) and only stockholders of record at that time will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

The shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) represented by all validly executed proxies received in time to be taken to the meeting and not previously revoked will be voted at the meeting. This proxy may be revoked by the stockholder at any time prior to its being voted by filing with the Secretary of the Company either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. We intend to release this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card to our stockholders on or about July 20, 2010.

Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal

Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have appraisal rights under Nevada law or under the governing documents of the Company in connection with this solicitation.

Outstanding Shares; Quorum; Required Vote

The number of outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting is 18,339,066. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The presence in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting of the holders of 9,352,924 shares, or a majority of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, shall constitute a quorum. There is no cumulative voting. Shares that abstain or for which the authority to vote is withheld on certain matters (so-called “broker non-votes”) will, however, be treated as present for quorum purposes on all matters.

Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting:

The affirmative vote of a majority of Common Stock present at the meeting and entitled to vote on each matter is required to approve the Company’s amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the classification of the Board into two classes with staggered terms, attached hereto as Appendix A;

·	Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast;

·	The affirmative vote of a majority of Common Stock present at the meeting and entitled to vote on each matter is required to ratify the appointment of BDO Limited as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December, 31, 2010; and

·	To act on such other matters as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

Votes shall be counted by one or more persons who shall serve as the inspectors of election. The inspectors of election will canvas the stockholders present in person at the meeting, count their votes and count the votes represented by proxies presented. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the number of shares represented at the meeting, but are deemed not to have voted on the proposal. Broker non-votes occur when a broker nominee (who has voted on one or more matters at the meeting) does not vote on one or more other matters at the meeting because it has not received instructions to so vote from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to so vote.

For purposes of determining the votes cast with respect to any matter presented for consideration at the meeting, only those votes cast “FOR” or “AGAINST” are included. However, if a proxy is signed but no specification is given, the shares will be voted “FOR” Proposals 1, 2, and 3 (to approve the Company’s amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, to elect the Board’s nominees to the Board of Directors, and to ratify the appointment of BDO Limited as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010).

Solicitation of Proxies

The expenses of solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. We may solicit proxies by mail, and the officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone and will receive no extra compensation from such activities. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held by them.

Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households

Only one copy of the Company’s 2009 Annual Report and this Proxy Statement will be delivered to an address where two or more stockholders reside with the same last name or whom otherwise reasonably appear to be members of the same family based on the stockholders’ prior express or implied consent.

We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the 2009 Annual Report and this Proxy Statement upon such request. If you share an address with at least one other stockholder, currently receive one copy of our Annual Report and Proxy Statement at your residence, and would like to receive a separate copy of our Annual Report and Proxy Statement for future stockholder meetings of the Company, please specify such request in writing and send such written request to Nansan Gongli, Nanhuan Road, Xushui County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, The People’s Republic of China 072550; Attention: Secretary.

On April 21, 2010, the Company amended the terms of its Loanout Agreement. The amended agreement extends the term of the Loanout Agreement for a period of one year, to a new expiration date of April 20, 2011. Pursuant to the amended agreement, Mr. Yen’s workload was increased to 40 hours of work per week and, effective January 1, 2010, his annual salary was increased to $120,000 in cash compensation. Mr. Yen shall also receive 5,000 shares of common stock of the Company during the remaining term of the agreement. These shares shall vest, and be issued, on a quarterly basis at the rate of 1,250 shares every three calendar months, with the first installment to vest on May 10, 2010. The shares acquired under the original and amended agreement shall be subject to a lock-up period from the date of issuance until April 20, 2011. Except as otherwise disclosed above, the terms of the original Loanout Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(2)Effective October 28, 2009, the Company entered into an appointment letter with Drew Bernstein. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Bernstein was appointed our director and shall receive an annual salary of $20,000, payable on a monthly basis.

(3)Effective October 28, 2009, the Company entered into an appointment letter with Wenbing Christopher Wang. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Wang was appointed our director and shall receive an annual salary of $20,000, payable on a monthly basis. Mr. Wang shall also receive 4,000 shares of common stock, which represents $20,000 divided by the closing price of the common stock on October 28, 2009, with piggyback registration rights subordinate to any investors in any past or present private placement of securities.

There are no arrangements known to the Company, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

PROPOSAL 1: AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS INTO TWO CLASSES WITH STAGGERED TERMS

The Board of Directors has adopted a resolution, the Classified Board Amendment, proposing an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation classifying the Board of Directors into two classes with staggered terms. At present, the Company's Board of Directors consists of a single class of five Directors, all of whom are elected at each annual meeting of stockholders. The Classified Board Amendment would classify the Board of Directors into two separate classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class being elected each year to serve a staggered two-year term.

Members in each class would be elected at the Annual Meeting. The Directors initially elected in Class I, Drew Bernstein and Wenbing Christopher Wang, would serve until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2011 and until their respective successors have been elected and have qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. The Directors initially elected in Class II, Zhenyong Liu, Fuzeng Liu and Zhaofang Wang, would serve until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2012 and until their respective successors have been elected and have qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. Beginning with the election of Directors to be held at the year 2011 annual meeting, the class of Directors to be elected in such year (Class I) would be elected for a two-year term, and at each successive annual meeting, the class of Directors to be elected in such year would be elected for a two-year term, so that the term of office of one class of Directors shall expire in each year.

To preserve the classified board structure, the Classified Board Amendment also provides that a Director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy holds office until the next election of the class for which such Director has been chosen, and until that Director's successor has been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, removal or death.

Nevada law provides that the Directors may be removed from office by the vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, unless otherwise provided in the Company’s articles of incorporation. Unless a Director is removed by the vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, or resigns, two annual elections are needed to replace all of the Directors on the classified Board of Directors. The Classified Board Amendment may, therefore, discourage an individual or entity from acquiring a significant position in the Company's stock with the intention of obtaining immediate control of the Board of Directors. The Company is not aware of any present third party plans to gain control of the Company.

The Classified Board Amendment could have the following anti-takeover effects:

·	encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to initiate the acquisition through arm's-length negotiations with the Company's management and Board of Directors;

·	discourage a third party from making a tender offer (or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company), even though such an attempt might benefit the Company and its stockholders;

·	discourage accumulations of large blocks of the Company's stock and fluctuations in the market price of the Company's stock caused by accumulations (so that stockholders lose opportunities to sell their shares at temporarily higher prices);

·	entrench incumbent management by discouraging a proxy contest, a holder of a substantial block of the Company's outstanding shares assuming control of the Company, or the removal of incumbent Directors or the change of control of the Board of Directors; and

·	reduce the possibility that a third party could effect a sudden or surprise change in control of the Board of Directors without the support of the then incumbent Board of Directors.

At the same time, the Classified Board Amendment would ensure that the Board of Directors and management, if confronted by a surprise proposal from a third party who had acquired a block of the Company's stock, would have time to review the proposal and appropriate alternatives to the proposal and possibly to attempt to negotiate a better transaction.

The complete text of the proposed amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, which includes the Classified Board Amendment, is attached as Appendix A. You should read Appendix A in its entirety.

Vote Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company is required for approval of this proposal.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the adoption of the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.

PROPOSAL 2: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nominees for Director

Five (5) directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Subject to stockholder approval of the Classified Board Amendment, members of the Board of Directors in each class will be elected at the Annual Meeting. The directors initially elected in Class I, Drew Bernstein and Wenbing Christopher Wang, would serve until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2011 and until their respective successors have been elected and has qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. The directors initially elected in Class II, Zhenyong Liu, Fuzeng Liu and Zhaofang Wang, would serve until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2012 and until their respective successors have been elected and has qualified, or until his earlier resignation, removal or death. Beginning with the election of directors to be held at the year 2011 annual meeting, each class of directors would be elected for a two-year term. If for some unforeseen reason one or more of the nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the Proxies may be voted for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board.

The following table sets forth the positions and offices presently held with the Company by each nominee, his age as of the Record Date, and the year in which he became a director. Proxies not marked to the contrary will be voted in favor of each such nominee's election. The Board recommends a vote FOR all nominees.

DIRECTOR INDEPNDENCE

The Company currently has three independent directors, Drew Bernstein, Wenbing Christopher Wang, and Zhaofang Wang, as that term is defined under the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules.

MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS; ANNUAL MEETING ATTENDNACE

Our business, property and affairs are managed by or under the direction of the Board. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through discussion with the chief executive and financial officers and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating at meetings of the board and its committees.

Our Board has three committees - the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee. The Audit Committee comprises Drew Bernstein, Wenbing Christopher Wang and Zhaofang Wang, with Mr. Bernstein serving as chairman. The Compensation Committee comprises Drew Bernstein, Wenbing Christopher Wang and Zhaofang Wang, with Ms. Zhaofang Wang as chairwoman. The Nominating Committee comprises Drew Bernstein, Wenbing Christopher Wang and Zhaofang Wang, with Mr. Wenbing Christopher Wang as chairman.

Our Audit Committee is involved in discussions with our independent auditor with respect to the scope and results of our year-end audit, our quarterly results of operations, our internal accounting controls and the professional services furnished by the independent auditor. Each member of our Audit Committee is independent as that term is defined under the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules. The Board has determined that Drew Bernstein qualifies as an Audit Committee “Financial Expert” under applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee which the Audit Committee reviews and reassesses for adequacy on an annual basis. A copy of the Audit Committee’s current charter is available on our website at http://www.irsite.com/images/library/orientalpaper/Audit%20Committee%20Charter.pdf.

The Compensation Committee oversees the compensation of our chief executive officer and our other executive officers and reviews our overall compensation policies for employees generally. If so authorized by the Board, the committee may also serve as the granting and administrative committee under any option or other equity-based compensation plans which we may adopt. The Compensation Committee does not delegate its authority to fix compensation; however, as to officers who report to the chief executive officer, the Compensation Committee consults with the chief executive officer, who may make recommendations to the Compensation Committee. Any recommendations by the chief executive officer are accompanied by an analysis of the basis for the recommendations. The committee will also discuss compensation policies for employees who are not officers with the chief executive officer and other responsible officers. A copy of the Compensation Committee’s current charter is available on our website at http://www.ir-site.com/images/library/orientalpaper/COMPENSATION%20COMMITTEE%20CHARTER.pdf.

The Nominating Committee is involved in evaluating the desirability of and recommending to the Board any changes in the size and composition of the Board, evaluation of and successor planning for the chief executive officer and other executive officers. The qualifications of any candidate for director will be subject to the same extensive general and specific criteria applicable to director candidates generally.

A copy of the Nominating Committee’s current charter is available on our website at http://www.irsite.com/images/library/orientalpaper/Nominating%20Committee%20Charter.pdf

It is a policy of the Nominating Committee that candidates for director (i) be determined to have unquestionable integrity and honesty, (ii) have the ability to exercise sound, mature and independent business judgment that is in the best interests of the company and the stockholders as a whole, (iii) have background and experience in fields that will compliment the talents of the other members of our Board, (iv) have the willingness and capability to take the time to actively participate in Board and committee meetings and related activities, (v) have the ability to work professionally and effectively with other members of our Board and our management, (vi) have the ability to remain on our Board long enough to make a meaningful contribution, and (vii) have no material relationships with competitors or other third parties that could create a reasonable likelihood of a conflict of interest or other legal issues.

When considering potential director-nominees, the Nominating Committee also will consider the current composition of our Board and our evolving needs, including expertise, diversity and balance of inside, outside and independent directors. Although we do not have a formal policy for the consideration of diversity in identifying director-nominees, the Nominating Committee recognizes the benefits associated with a diverse board, and strives to create diversity in perspective, background and experience in the Board as a whole when identifying and selecting director-nominees. On an annual basis, as part of the Board’s self-evaluation, the Board assesses whether the mix of Board members is appropriate for our Company.

In compiling its list of possible candidates and considering their qualifications, the Nominating Committee will make its own inquiries, solicit input from other directors on our Board, and may consult or engage other sources, such as a professional search firm, if it deems appropriate.

Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating Committee to become nominees for election to our Board at our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders may do so by submitting a written recommendation to the Nominating Committee, care of Orient Paper, Inc. at Nansan Gongli, Nanhuan Road, Xushui County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, The People’s Republic of China 072550, Attention: Dahong Zhou, Secretary, in accordance with the procedures set forth below in this proxy statement under the heading “Stockholder Proposals.” For nominees for election to our Board proposed by stockholders to be considered, the following information concerning each nominee must be timely submitted in accordance with the required procedures:

•

The candidate’s name, age, business address, residence address, principal occupation or employment, the class and number of shares of our capital stock the candidate beneficially owns, a brief description of any direct or indirect relationships with us, and the other information that would be required in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of the candidate as a director.

•

A signed consent of the nominee to being named as a nominee, to cooperate with reasonable background checks and personal interviews and to serve as a director, if elected; and

•

As to the stockholder proposing such nominee, that stockholder’s name and address, the class and number of shares of our capital stock the stockholder beneficially owns, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and the candidate and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made, a list of all other companies to which the stockholder has recommended the candidate for election as a director in that fiscal year, and a representation that the stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person named in its notice.

The Board and its committees held the following number of meetings during 2009:

Board of Directors 7

Audit Committee N/A (not formed until October 28, 2009)

Compensation Committee N/A (not formed until October 28, 2009)

Nominating Committee N/A (not formed until October 28, 2009)

The meetings include meetings that were held by means of a conference telephone call, but do not include actions taken by unanimous written consent.

Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and those committees on which he served during the year.

Our non-management did not meet in executive session during 2009.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Zhenyong Liu is our chairman and chief executive officer. At the advice of other members of the management or the Board, Mr. Liu calls the meetings of Board when necessary. We have three independent directors. We do not have a lead independent director. Our Board has three standing committees, each of which is comprised solely of independent directors with a committee chair. The Board believes that the Company’s chief executive officer is best situated to serve as chairman of the Board because he is the director most familiar with our business and industry and the director most capable of identifying strategic priorities and executing our business strategy. In addition, having a single leader eliminates the potential for confusion and provides clear leadership for the Company. We believe that this leadership structure has served the Company well.

Our Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight. The Board has delegated responsibility for the oversight of specific risks to Board committees as follows:


·	The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s risk policies and processes relating to the financial statements and financial reporting processes, as well as key credit risks, liquidity risks, market risks and compliance, and the guidelines, policies and processes for monitoring and mitigating those risks.


·	The Nominating Committee oversees risks related to the company’s governance structure and processes.

Our Board is responsible to approve all related party transactions according to our Code of Ethics. We have not adopted written policies and procedures specifically for related person transactions.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board or with specified members of the Board should do so by sending any communication to Nansan Gongli, Nanhuan Road, Xushui County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, The People’s Republic of China 072550; Attention: Secretary.

Any such communication should state the number of shares beneficially owned by the shareholder making the communication. Our Secretary will forward such communication to the full Board or to any individual member or members of the Board to whom the communication is directed, unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate, in which case the Secretary has the authority to discard the communication or take appropriate legal action regarding the communication.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a code of ethics to apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is currently available on our website at www.orientalpapercorporation.com.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee, on behalf of our Board of Directors, serves as an independent and objective party to monitor and provide general oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our standards of business conduct. The Audit Committee performs these oversight responsibilities in accordance with its Audit Committee Charter.

Our management is responsible for preparing our financial statements and our financial reporting process. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of our audited financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Audit Committee met with our independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 with management and with our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees), which includes, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of our annual financial statements.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding such independent registered public accounting firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from us and our management. In addition, the Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by our independent registered public accounting firm in 2009 was compatible with maintaining our registered public accounting firm’s independence and has concluded that it was.

Based on its review of the audited financial statements and the various discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that our audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent as defined under the standards of the Commission and NYSE Corporate Governance Rules, and Drew Bernstein qualifies as an Audit Committee financial expert in accordance with the requirements of the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules and of such rules of the Commission.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This section contains a discussion of the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our principal executive officer, and our principal financial officer during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Accordingly, our “Named Executive Officers” are Zhenyong Liu, our Chief Executive Officer, and Winston C. Yen, our Chief Financial Officer.

The objectives of our compensation program are as follows:

·	Reward performance that drives substantial increases in shareholder value, as evidenced through both future operating profits and increased market price of our common shares; and

·	Attract, hire and retain well-qualified executives.

The Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee, comprised exclusively of independent outside directors which approves all compensation and awards to executive management. The members of the Compensation Committee have extensive executive level experience in other companies and bring a perspective of reasonableness to compensation matters with our Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee compares executive compensation practices of similar companies at similar stages of development.

Our Compensation Committee’s goals in regards to executive compensation are primarily to balance the philosophy identified above with the need to recruit, hire, retain, motivate and reward the most talented executives by providing compensation that is competitive with the companies against which we compete for executive talent. Although the Compensation Committee will continue to review our executive compensation program in light of these goals and we may in the future adopt a more varied and comprehensive approach to compensation that provides short-term and long-term incentive opportunities for our executives, we expect that our current executive compensation structure will continue for the near future.

The compensation level of our executives generally reflects their unique position and incentive to positively affect our future operating performance and shareholder value. Our management compensation primarily has been comprised of a cash base salary and, to a limited degree, stock awards.

In light of the straightforward nature of our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee has not retained executive compensation consultants and does not regularly review compensation data for any particular group of peer companies.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K and discussed that analysis with management. Based on its review and discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference into the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. This report is provided by the following independent directors, who comprise the Compensation Committee:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected the firm of BDO Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm, as our auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, subject to ratification of such selection by our stockholders.

Previous Independent Accountant

On December 1, 2009, Davis Accounting Group P.C. (“Davis”) resigned as our registered independent public accounting firm as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1, 2009 (the “8-K”).

The audit reports of Davis on our financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, and through the date of the 8-K, we have had no disagreements with Davis on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Davis, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such periods.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, and through the date of the 8-K, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

New Independent Accountant

On December 1, 2009, our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the appointment of BDO Limited, the Hong Kong member firm of the BDO International network (“BDO”), as our new registered independent public accounting firm, effective as of December 1, 2009, for the year ending December 31, 2009, and to conduct review engagements on the Company’s non-annual quarterly financial statements on an ongoing basis thereafter.

Prior to engaging BDO, BDO did not provide our Company with either written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by our Company in reaching a decision to continue the appointment of BDO as our new registered independent public accounting firm.

In the event that ratification of this appointment of independent registered public accounting firm is not approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the matter, the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by our Board. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted for ratification of the appointment of BDO Limited as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

A representative of BDO Limited will be available at the Annual Meeting via teleconference and will be afforded the opportunity to make a statement if he or she decides to do so. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

Audit Fees

BDO Limited (“BDO”) and Davis Accounting Group (“Davis”) served as our independent registered public accounting firms for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Proposals by any stockholders intended to be presented at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company for inclusion in material relating to such meeting not later than March 18, 2011.

Stockholders who wish to present proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders may do so by following the procedures prescribed in Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To be eligible, the shareholder proposals must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive office on or before March 18, 2011. Under SEC rules, you must have continuously held for at least one year prior to the submission of the proposal (and continue to hold through the date of the meeting) at least $2,000 in market value, or 1%, of our outstanding stock in order to submit a proposal which you seek to have included in the Company’s proxy materials. We may, subject to SEC review and guidelines, decline to include any proposal in our proxy materials.

Stockholders who wish to make a proposal at the 2011 Annual Meeting, other than one that will be included in our proxy materials, must notify us no later than March 18, 2011. If a shareholder who wishes to present a proposal fails to notify us by March 18, 2011, the proxies that management solicits for the meeting will confer discretionary authority to vote on the shareholder’s proposal if it is properly brought before the meeting.

Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the by-laws so provide. Commencing with the annual meeting of stockholders in 2010, directors shall be divided into two classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated as Class I, and Class II. The initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire on the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the end of the 2010 fiscal year (the "2011 Annual Meeting"), and the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire on the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders next succeeding the 2011 Annual Meeting (the "2012 Annual Meeting"). At each annual meeting of stockholders following such classification and division of the members of the Board of Directors, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election, so that the term of office of one class of directors shall expire in each year. Each director shall hold office until the expiration of such director's term of office and until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until such director's earlier resignation, removal or death. In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors constituting the whole Board of Directors, the number of directors in each class shall be determined by action of the Board of Directors. A director elected by the remainder of the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the term of the predecessor director and until such director's successor has been elected and qualified, or until such director's earlier resignation, removal or death.”
