GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING
 
Record Date, Outstanding Shares, Quorum and Voting

You can vote your shares of common stock if our records show that you owned your shares on the record date of April 30, 2009.November 14, 2011.  At the close of business on the record date, 13,548,49814,760,873 shares of common stock were outstanding. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock outstanding as of the record date entitles its holder to one vote.

Business may be transacted at the Annual Meeting if a quorum is present. A quorum is present at the Annual Meeting if holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote are present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to vote on any of the proposals listed on the proxy card.

If your shares are held in the name of a nominee, and you do not tell the nominee how to vote your shares (a “broker non-vote”), the nominee can vote them as it sees fit only on matters that are determined to be “routine”, and not on any other proposal. Broker non-votes will be counted as present to determine if a quorum exists but will not be counted as present and entitled to vote on any non-routine proposal.

In Proposal No. 1 (Election of Directors), directors will be elected by a plurality (meaning, the largest number of votes cast) of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.  Approval of Proposal No. 2 (Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditor) will require the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present. With respect to Proposal No. 1, which requires a plurality vote, broker “non-votes” have no effect and abstentions have the same effect as negative votes, and with respect to Proposal No. 2, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present, abstentions and broker “non-votes” have the same effect as negative votes. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes on each proposal.

The Board will conduct any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board.

While the Board of Directors has not determined minimum criteria for director nominees, they seek to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on our Board. To this end, the Board of Director seeks nominees with high professional and personal ethics and values, an understanding of our business and the garment industry, diversity of business experience and expertise, broad-based business acumen, and the ability to think strategically.

The Board believes that director attendance at shareholder meetings is appropriate and can assist directors in carrying out their duties. When directors attend shareholder meetings, they are able to hear directly shareholder concerns regarding the Company. It is understood that special circumstances may occasionally prevent a director from attending a meeting.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This compensation discussion and analysis describes the material elements of the compensation awarded to our current executive officers. This compensation discussion focuses on the information contained in the following tables and related footnotes and narrative for the last completed fiscal year. In 2008,2010, our Board of Directors and and now, the Compensation Committee, since its chartering, has overseen and administered our executive compensation program.

Our current executive compensation program presently includes a base salary. Our compensation program does not include (i) discretionary annual cash performance-based incentives, (ii) termination/severance and change of control payments, or (iii) perquisites and benefits.
Executive Compensation

Our current executive compensation program presently includes a base salary. Our compensation program does not include (i) discretionary annual cash performance-based incentives, (ii) termination/severance and change of control payments, or (iii) perquisites and benefits.

Our Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our philosophy regarding compensation of our executive officers includes the following principles:

8


 ·our compensation program should align the interests of our management team with those of our shareholders;
 ·our compensation program should reward the achievement of our strategic initiatives and short- and long-term operating and financial goals;
 
·compensation should appropriately reflect differences in position and responsibility;
·compensation should be reasonable and bear some relationship with the compensation standards in the market in which our management team operates; and
 
·the compensation program should be understandable and transparent.
9

 
In order to implement such compensation principles, we have developed the following objectives for our executive compensation program:

 ·overall compensation levels must be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain talented leaders and motivate those leaders to achieve superior results;
 ·a portion of total compensation should be contingent on, and variable with, achievement of objective corporate performance goals, and that portion should increase as an executive’s position and responsibility increases;
 
·total compensation should be higher for individuals with greater responsibility and greater ability to influence our achievement of operating goals and strategic initiatives;
 ·the number of elements of our compensation program should be kept to a minimum, and those elements should be readily understandable by and easily communicated to executives, shareholders, and others; and
 
·executive compensation should be set at responsible levels to promote a sense of fairness and equity among all employees and appropriate stewardship of corporate resources among shareholders.

Determination of Compensation Awards

Our Board of Directors is provided with the primary authority to determine the compensation awards available to our executive officers. To aid the boardBoard of directorsDirectors in making its determination for the last fiscal year, our current senior management provided recommendations to the board of directorsCompensation Committee regarding the compensation of all executive officers. A copy of our Compensation Committee Report is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Compensation Benchmarking and Peer Group

Our Board of Directors did not rely on any consultants or utilize any peer company comparisons or benchmarking in 20082010 in setting executive compensation. However, our management has considered competitive market practices by reviewing publicly available information relating to compensation of executive officers at other comparable companies in the apparel industry in China in making its recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding our executives’ compensation for fiscal year 2008.2010. As our company evolves, we expect to take steps, including the utilization of peer company comparisons and/or hiring of compensation consultants, to ensure that the Board has a comprehensive picture of the compensation paid to our executives and with a goal toward total direct compensation for our executives that are on a par with the median total direct compensation paid to executives in peer companies if annually established target levels of performance at the company and business segment level are achieved.

Elements of Compensation
 
Presently, we compensate our executives with only a base salary.salary and an annual cash performance-based bonus. We do not pay any compensation to our executive officers in the form of discretionary annual cash performance-based incentives, long-term incentive plan awards or perquisites and other compensation, although our boardBoard of directorsDirectors may recommend and institute such forms of compensation in the future.

Base Salaries

Base salary is used to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of our employees, including our named executive officers. All of our named executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, are subject to employment agreements, and accordingly each of their compensation has been determined as set forth in their respective agreement. When establishing base salaries for 2008, subject to the provisions of each person's employment agreement,2010, our Board and management considered a number of factors, including the seniority of the individual, the functional role of the position, the level of the individual's responsibility, the ability to replace the individual, the base salary of the individual at their prior employment and the number of well qualified candidates to assume the individual's role.

Discretionary Annual Cash Performance-Based Incentives

In 2008,2010, we did not pay anypaid certain compensation in the form of discretionary annualperformance-based cash performance-based incentives or other forms of bonusesbonus to our Chief Executive Officer and each other named executive officer. Our Compensation Committee may, however, recommend such bonuses in the future.our Chief Financial Officer.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

We currently do not have an equity incentive plan, and no separate stock awards or stock option grants were made to any of the named executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.2010. No stock options were held by the named executive officers as of December 31, 2008.2010.

Perquisites and Other Compensation

We do not have any retirement or pension plans in place for any of our named executives. Our named executive officers are eligible for group medical benefits that are generally available to and on the same terms as our other employees.

Management’s Role in the Compensation-Setting Process

Our management plays a role in our compensation-setting process. We believe this input from management to the Compensation Committee is needed in order for the committee to evaluate the performance of our officers, recommend business performance targets and objectives, and recommend compensation levels. Our management may from time to time, make recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding executive compensation. During this process, management may be asked to provide the board with their evaluation of the executive officers’ performances, the background information regarding our strategic financial and operational objectives, and compensation recommendations as to the executive officers.
