---------------------------------------------------------------------

Munich, 24 February 2012. Youbisheng Green Paper AG, the German holding
company of a Chinese manufacturer of environmentally friendly linerboard
for the growing Chinese consumer goods industry, launched its new
anti-counterfeit testliner in February 2012.

Youbisheng's R&D team had developed the new anti-counterfeit testliner over
a period of almost three years. 'In early 2010, we had realized that
branded consumer goods need more and more protection against
counterfeiting. We started working on the process-technology in order to
integrate a very cost efficient and at the same time highly effective level
of anti-counterfeit protection into our liner board,' states Haiming Huang,
CEO of Youbisheng Green Paper.

The anti-counterfeit testliner consists of four separate layers. During the
production process, the pulp for the middle layers is mixed with a certain
dye, according to the customer's specifications, and then used for the
production of the two fully coloured inside boards. The colour stays
invisible to the outside and the outside layer maintains the premium
quality and printability of Youbisheng's products. The new linerboard is
used for shoe boxes, paper bags and product labels etc. of middle to high
end products. The hidden colour works as a proof of authenticity for the
packaged products, as the end consumer can verify the originality by
tearing the packaging material.

Currently, Youbisheng is the only manufacturer in China with the know-how
to produce such anti-counterfeit testliner. For its production, Youbisheng
is using up to 100% recycled paper.

In February 2012, Youbisheng already sold 300 tons of the new
anti-counterfeit testliner to three packaging companies in Fujian province.
Due to this success, management expects to grow the sales of
anti-counterfeit testliner to 4% of total sales for the current business
year. The selling price for anti-counterfeit testliner is approx. RMB 4,000
per ton (excluding VAT). The gross profit margin is about 33%, compared to
an average gross margin for existing products of approx. 25%.

Youbisheng will first sell its new anti-counterfeit testliner in the Fujian
province, expecting high and increasing demand for this product from the
many local producers of branded consumer goods. Due to the unique
additional safety feature however, the new product has the potential to
also sell in the entire PRC market, as transportation costs are offset by
the additional product benefits.
