'Furniture China 2010' to be Held 7-10 September 2010 in Shanghai

SHANGHAI, May 10, 2010 - China's economy revved into high gear during the first quarter of 2010,
growing 11.9% compared with a year ago, said a spokesman for the National
Statistics Bureau. And according to Mr. Jia Qingwen, President of China
National Furniture Association, China's furniture exports reached US$ 4.7
billion in January - February 2010, up 30.3% compared with the same period in
2009.

Acting as one of the best well-known cities in China, Shanghai is being
built into a modern metropolis and a world economic, financial, trading and
shipping center. Furniture China, held annually in September in Shanghai, is
the best channel to reach the target markets: not only for developing
potential Asian markets, but also to expand existing Western markets. Such a
great combination provides an excellent platform for qualified exhibitors and
visitors from all over the world to attend this annual event.

As the important sourcing platform for the world's furniture industry,
more and more international furniture enterprises choose Furniture China to
launch new products, develop new contacts and expand new markets. Along with
95% of last years' exhibitors returning, FENABEL from Portugal, SIFAS and
PARISOT from France, EFILOGIC from Spain, SKY/ASKO NABYTEK from the Czech
Republic, and FORZA from Belgium, will present for the first time at
Furniture China 2010, showcasing their contemporary furniture, dining tables
& chairs and rattan furniture products.

Also, due to strong demands, outdoor furniture emerges as a new sector at
Furniture China 2010. The well-designed outdoor furniture made in China will
be gathered and displayed in one area. As living standards continue to rise,
people pursue a simple and natural lifestyle which results in a prosperous
outdoor furniture industry. The outdoor furniture sector will continue to
expand in the future with more good quality products.

The opening of Metro Line 7 will offer one more convenient way for
participants to attend the event this year, other than the shuttle buses and
taxis that will continue to transport visitors to the exhibition venue. The
Shanghai New International Expo Centre is only 5 minutes walking distance
from Exit No. 2 of the 'Huamu Road' station on Line 7.
