The following are the highlights of results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 2009:

    
    Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2009 Financial Highlights
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
      -  Sales for the 2009 third quarter were $4.31 million, compared with
         $4.34 million for the 2008 period. For first nine months of 2009,
         sales were $11.84 million, down by 10.5% from $13.22 million in the
         2008 period. The decreases are primarily the result of reduced sale
         volumes due to global economic downturn.

      -  Gross profits for the 2009 third quarter were $1.54 million (35.7%
         of sales), up from $0.82 million (18.9% of sales) in the 2008
         period. For the first nine months of 2009, Gross profits were
         $3.75 million, up from $2.68 million in the 2008 period. This
         significant increase was attributable to a number of factors,
         including lower raw material prices, less provision of obsolete
         inventory and less manufacturing overhead.

      -  Net profits for the 2009 third quarter were $728 thousand (16.9% of
         sales) or $0.035 per basic and diluted share, up from $100 thousand
         (2.3% of sales) or a $0.005 per basic and diluted share in the 2008
         period. For the first nine months of 2009, net profits were
         $1.35 million (11.4% of sales) or $0.064 per basic and diluted
         share, up from $0.25 million (1.9% of sales) or a $0.012 per basic
         and diluted share in the 2008 period. This increase was a combined
         result from higher gross margin and less operating expenses.

      -  Cash flows generated by operation activities for the 2009 third
         quarter and first nine months were $0.17 million and $3.30 million,
         respectively, compared with $1.06 million and $0.39 million in the
         comparative prior-year periods.

    "I am very pleased with the third quarter financial results despite the
challenging environment," said Kevin Ming Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of
Jite, "Both the net income and cash flows from our operations have increased
substantially due to measures taken to operating cost controls and fixing low
raw material prices, although the weak global economy continued to have a
negative impact on our revenues. Positively, we have begun to see some renewed
customers' orders, and we are confident about the ongoing development of our
company in the coming quarters".

    Developments Subsequent to the End of the Third Quarter of 2009
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
      -  Jite registered its wholly-owned subsidiary of Kunshan plant in
         Jiangsu province, China. The total registered capital for Kunshan
         plant was $20 million USD, of which 20% or $4 million USD for its
         first phase registered capital has been fully injected. Accordingly,
         the remaining balance amounting to 25.2 million RMB (approximately
         $3.9 million CDN) was paid in connection with the purchase of the
         building at Kunshan plant.
