INTRODUCTION
Industries International, Incorporated is a Shenzhen, China-based holding company whose subsidiaries focus on the R&D, manufacture and commercialization of telecommunication equipment and lithium and Li-ion batteries. Founded over 10 years ago, the Company has grown internally and through acquisitions to post revenues topping $54 million in 2002, up from $28.5 million, or nearly 24% per year, in three years. The Company's telecommunications products are sold at over 5,000 locations throughout China. Its lithium and Li-ion battery products are sold to consumers and original equipment manufacturers in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, U.S., Singapore, and New Zealand, among other countries. The Company has more than 1,300 employees.
The Company was privately held until February 2003, when it completed a reverse merger to create the current Industries International. In May 2003, the Company acquired Li Sun Power International Limited for $15 million (6 times net income) giving it majority ownership of Wuhan Lixing Power Sources and adding lithium batteries to the Company's business mix. Li Sun is a fast-growing firm, which saw sales nearly double, from $9.9 million to $19.3 million, between 2001 and 2002.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
(1) Telecommunications Equipment
Through a subsidiary, the Company designs, develops and manufactures telecommunications equipment for the Chinese consumer market under the Wondial brand. Wondial was the first cordless telephone manufacturer in China and has seen its share of the phone market increase from 14.9% in 1999 to 18.2% in 2001. Primary products include corded and cordless telephones with a range of options from the basics to the latest high tech features. IDUL is leveraging its proprietary R&D to expand its telecommunications equipment to include digital cordless telephones, multi-function videophones and other communications products.

Products are manufactured at IDUL's own factory, which has received ISO 9001 certification. IDUL's current distribution network includes over 5,100 point-of-sale locations including China's major telecommunication companies (e.g., China Telecom, China Unicom, China Railway Communications, etc.) and major nation-wide chain retailers (e.g, WalMart China, Sam's Club, Carrefour, etc.) in 28 provinces in China, covering more than 200 cities.
(2) Lithium batteries
Through the Li Sun Power subsidiary acquired in May 2003, IDUL is now one of the largest lithium and Li-ion battery manufacturers in China. Li Sun is a pioneer in the lithium and lithium-ion (Li-ion) market niche, with battery types including button-type, cylindrical, and power sources. Products are marketed for use in a wide range of electronic products such as mobile phones, calculators, PDAs, laptop computers and hybrid electric vehicles. Additionally, IDUL manufactures battery testing equipment, utilized internally for its own products and sold in both domestic and overseas markets.

COMPANY MARKET POTENTIAL
(1) Rapidly growing telecommunications market in China
The Ministry of Information Industry forecasts the number of fixed income line telephone subscribers to increase at a
compound average annual rate of 13% over the next eight years and exceed 490 million by 2010. The new subscribers will need telephone equipment, and IDUL's technological advances and distribution networks should allow it to successfully capitalize on this rapidly growing market.
(2) Cordless phone sales increase
According to Dataquest Inc., cordless telephones represent over 60% of the total residential telephone market in the U.S. and European countries and approximately 80% in Japan. Yet the Company estimates that cordless telephone usage among phone subscribers in China is only 7.2%. As the number of telephone subscribers in China grows, so will the number of cordless phone users. The Company conservatively estimates that some 3 million customers each year - 10% of the more than 30 million new subscribers - will buy cordless phones. The Ministry of Information Industry expects cordless phone users to comprise 30% of general phone users by 2010,
driving annual cordless phone sales at a 23% annual growth rate from 3 million in 2002 to over 15 million by 2010.
(3) Increasing demand for personal electronics drives growth in the battery market
IDUL estimates the global market for primary, disposable/non-rechargeable batteries was approximately $11.5 billion in 2000 and is expected to reach approximately $13 billion in 2003, with lithium batteries having an estimated 10% share or over $1 billion.
In 2001, the market for Li-ion batteries had the largest growth among other types of rechargeable
batteries. Li-ion batteries are becoming the preferred choice for portable telecommunication devices, especially compared to NiD and NiMH batteries, due to their high energy density and immunity to memory effect. The demand for Li-ion batteries is principally driven by Bluetooth applications, cordless telephone, mobile phones, PDAs and digital cameras.
(4) Gaining potential access to 20% of the world's electronics production while cutting cost
In June 2003, IDUL announced a memorandum of understanding to acquire Top Goal Technology Ltd., thereby giving it 70% ownership of Hong Kong based Sinotech Electronics Ltd. and Fine Capital International Ltd. Sinotech and Fine Capital distribute semiconductors, microchips and micro-control units (MCUs) for Toshiba, Hynix, and Samsung in Hong Kong and China. These companies also provide software and hardware support, including design and development of integrated software solutions for MCU manufacturers.
