Ms. Li Xuemei, Chairman and CEO of China Intelligent, said, "These distribution outlets will contribute to our growth plan by strengthening our competitive positioning in China’s largest Tier 1 cities and cultivating our presence in the smaller cities that are demonstrating the rapid growth and urbanization that spur demand for our innovative and high-quality traditional lighting and LED products. Ultimately, our branding strategy is designed to build our higher-margin branded product and LED product sales as a percentage of our total revenue, and we believe that our investment in the distribution network will help us to achieve strong and sustainable growth."

Shares of CIL are moving up a few percent this morning, but still trying to find a bottom after reaching new all time lows in recent days.
