DIAMAS S.R.L.

Under terms of this agreement, the Italian-based distributor will exclusively market and distribute China Linen's range of linen fabrics in a well-known area in Italy. The long-term contract, effective in March 2010 and extending through 2013, is expected to increase the annual sales volume for linen fabric from this company by approximately 20%, or 400,000 meters.

The renewed agreement also demonstrates our continued commitment to building long-term and stable relationships with our clients and solidifying our position in the Italian market. In 2009, we exported millions of linen fabric to Italy, and we will continue to capitalize on opportunities in this market."

For the full fiscal year 2009, China Linen's total textile exports were valued at $17.72 million, and were growing at a CAGR of 28.9 percent.
