Net income for the second quarter of 2010 increased 4% to $16.5 million from $15.8 million for the prior year&#8217;s second quarter. Diluted earnings per share increased 15% to $1.65 per share from $1.44 per share for the prior year&#8217;s comparable quarter due to an increase in net income of 4% and a 9% decrease in the weighted average outstanding shares. Membership fees in the second quarter of 2010 increased 1% to $106.7 million from $105.5 million for the same period last year.<br />

Diluted earnings per share increased more than net income due to a 10% decrease in the weighted average number of outstanding shares.</p>
<p>Net cash provided from operating activities decreased 3% to $34.3 million for the first half of 2010 from $35.5 million for 2009. During the first half of 2010, we returned $5.4 million to shareholders through the repurchase of 123,807 shares of common stock, at an average per share price of $43.41. Since April 1999, we have returned $463.2 million to shareholders through the purchase of 15.2 million shares, average price of $30.43 per share, and $17.1 million in dividends for a combined total of $480.3 million representing more than 100% of our net earnings during the same timeframe. At June 30, 2010, we had $28.1 million of debt outstanding and $70.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and unpledged investments and had availability pursuant to our lending agreements to spend approximately $26.7 million for share repurchases and/or dividends.</p>
<p>Second quarter 2010 membership fees decreased $581,000 to $106.7 million from $107.3 million for the first quarter of 2010.

Membership benefits totaled $35.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $35.7 million for the 2010 first quarter and represented 34% and 33%, respectively, of membership fees for the two periods. Commissions to associates totaled $29.2 million in the 2010 second quarter compared to $29.5 million for the 2010 first quarter and represented 27% and 28%, respectively, of membership fees for the two periods. General and administrative expenses increased $142,000 during the 2010 second quarter to $12.4 million compared to $12.3 million for the 2010 first quarter and represented 12% and 11%, respectively, of membership fees for both periods. The $142,000 increase in general and administrative expenses included increases in employee cost and consulting fees which were partially offset by decreases in accounting fees, bank service charges, legal expenses and telecommunications fees.</p>

(NYSE: MAR) today reported second quarter 2010 results, exceeding the company&#8217;s diluted EPS expectations and prior year results.</p>
<p>SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS<br />
Second quarter diluted earnings per share (EPS) totaled $0.31, ahead of expectations and prior year results;</p>
<p>Total fee revenue increased 13 percent to $287 million as a result of strong revenue per available room (REVPAR) and unit growth.  Incentive fees climbed 31 percent;</p>
<p>Worldwide company-operated comparable REVPAR rose 9.9 percent (an 8.2 percent increase using constant dollars).  Average daily rate rose 1.6 percent (a 0.1 percent increase using constant dollars);</p>
<p>North American company-operated comparable REVPAR increased 7.9 percent (a 7.5 percent increase using constant dollars) with a 1.2 increase in average daily rate (a 0.8 percent increase using constant dollars);</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s worldwide pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development totaled nearly 95,000 rooms, including over 36,000 rooms outside North America;</p>
<p>Over 6,500 rooms opened during the second quarter, including over 1,800 rooms in international markets and nearly 1,300 rooms converting from competitor brands.  At the end of the second quarter, Marriott&#8217;s newest brand, The Autograph Collection, included 10 hotels with over 1,500 rooms.</p>
<p>SECOND QUARTER 2010 RESULTS<br />
Second quarter 2010 net income totaled $119 million, a 42 percent increase compared to second quarter 2009 adjusted net income.  Diluted EPS totaled $0.31, a 35 percent increase from adjusted diluted EPS in the year-ago quarter.  On April 22, 2010, the company forecasted second quarter diluted EPS of $0.25 to $0.29.<br />
Adjusted results for the 2009 second quarter excluded $57 million pretax ($30 million after-tax and $0.08 per diluted share) of restructuring costs and other charges and $17 million of non-cash charges ($0.05 per diluted share) in the provision for income taxes.</p>
<p>Reported net income totaled $119 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to reported net income of $37 million in the year-ago quarter.  Reported diluted EPS was $0.31 in the second quarter of 2010 compared to reported EPS of $0.10 in the second quarter of 2009.</p>
<p>J.W. Marriott, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Marriott International, said, &#8220;This is an exciting time for Marriott.  Business and leisure stays at our hotels are trending up.  Revenue per available room increased more than expected in the second quarter and room rates at company-operated hotels in North America rose for the first time in nearly two years.<br />
&#8220;Totaling approximately 95,000 rooms, our development pipeline reflects expanding global opportunities.  We opened over 6,500 rooms during the quarter.  With strong interest by owners and franchisees in our brands, we expect to open over 30,000 rooms in 2010, including conversions to our new brand, the Autograph Collection.<br />
&#8220;We are seeing major international growth.  At the end of the quarter, a record 39 percent of our development pipeline was outside North America as were two-thirds of our worldwide rooms under construction.  During the quarter, we opened superb new international hotels in Phuket, Shanghai, St. Petersburg and Budapest.<br />
&#8220;We anticipate even more favorable pricing in the second half of 2010 and into 2011.  Combined with productivity improvements achieved over the last year, strong unit growth and increasing demand, we look forward to growing cash flow and strong earnings in 2010 and beyond.&#8221;</p>
<p>For the 2010 second quarter, REVPAR for worldwide comparable company-operated properties increased 9.9 percent (an 8.2 percent increase using constant dollars) and REVPAR for worldwide comparable systemwide properties increased 8.5 percent (a 7.0 percent increase using constant dollars).</p>
<p>International comparable company-operated REVPAR rose 14.1 percent (a 9.8 percent increase using constant dollars), including a 2.0 percent increase in average daily rate (a 1.8 percent decline using constant dollars) in the second quarter of 2010.<br />
In North America, comparable company-operated REVPAR increased 7.9 percent (a 7.5 percent increase using constant dollars) in the second quarter of 2010.  On a constant dollar basis, REVPAR for comparable company-operated North American full-service and luxury hotels (including Marriott Hotels &#038; Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton and Renaissance Hotels) increased 9.0 percent with a 1.7 percent increase in average daily rate.<br />
Marriott added 46 new properties (6,568 rooms) to its worldwide lodging portfolio in the 2010 second quarter and 14 properties (2,311 rooms) exited the system during the quarter.  At quarter-end, the company&#8217;s lodging group encompassed 3,489 properties and timeshare resorts for a total of over 607,000 rooms.<br />
The company&#8217;s worldwide pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion or approved for development totaled nearly 600 properties with approximately 95,000 rooms at quarter-end.<br />
Early in the 2010 third quarter, the company launched Marriott Vacation Club Destinations (MVCD), a points-based program that offers increased usage and purchase flexibility to its owners.  While Marriott Vacation Clubs in North America will offer this improved product to new customers going forward, existing owners will retain full rights and privileges of interval ownership as well as the opportunity to participate in MVCD.  </p>
<p>MARRIOTT REVENUES totaled nearly $2.8 billion in the 2010 second quarter compared to approximately $2.6 billion for the second quarter of 2009.  Base management and franchise fees rose 10 percent to $241 million reflecting higher REVPAR and fees from new hotels.  Second quarter incentive management fees increased 31 percent to $46 million.  In the second quarter, 25 percent of company-managed hotels earned incentive management fees compared to 23 percent in the year-ago quarter.  Approximately 62 percent of incentive management fees came from hotels outside North America in the 2010 quarter compared to 61 percent in the 2009 quarter.</p>
<p>Worldwide comparable company-operated house profit margins increased 90 basis points in the second quarter reflecting higher occupancy, slight rate increases and strong productivity.<br />
Owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expenses, increased $10 million in the 2010 second quarter, to $31 million, including a $6 million favorable impact of hotel termination fees net of property closing costs.  Operating results at owned and leased hotels improved year-over-year with stronger occupancy and margins.<br />
Second quarter adjusted Timeshare segment contract sales decreased 21 percent to $167 million (excluding a $6 million allowance for fractional and residential contract cancellations recorded in the quarter) largely due to tough comparisons as a result of the 25th anniversary promotion in the year-ago quarter.  In the prior year&#8217;s quarter, adjusted Timeshare segment contract sales totaled $212 million (excluding a $3 million allowance for fractional and residential  contract cancellations).</p>
<p>In the second quarter, timeshare sales and services revenue totaled $289 million and, net of expenses, totaled $50 million for the quarter.  Adjusting for restructuring and other charges, as well as the impact of consolidating securitized loans had that occurred at the beginning of 2009 rather than 2010, second quarter 2009 timeshare sales and services revenue would have totaled $331 million and, net of direct expenses, would have totaled $48 million.  These adjustments for the 2009 quarter are shown on page A-11.<br />
Despite lower contract sales, development revenue, net of expense, benefited from lower marketing and sales costs, as well as price increases year-over-year.  Timeshare segment results include Timeshare sales and services revenue, net of direct expenses, as well as base management fees, equity earnings (losses), noncontrolling interest, interest expense and general, administrative and other expenses associated with the timeshare business.  Timeshare segment results for the 2010 second quarter, shown on page A-9, totaled $30 million, including $14 million of interest expense related to the consolidation of securitized Timeshare notes.  Adjusting for restructuring and other charges, as well as the impact of consolidating securitized loans had that occurred at the beginning of 2009 rather than 2010, second quarter 2009 timeshare segment results would have totaled $29 million, including $18 million of interest expense related to the consolidation of securitized Timeshare notes.  These adjustments for the 2009 quarter are shown on page A-11.<br />
GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE and OTHER expenses for the 2010 second quarter increased 4 percent to $142 million, compared to adjusted expenses of $136 million in the year-ago quarter, and included higher incentive compensation costs partially offset by lower legal and deferred compensation expenses.</p>
<p>GAINS AND OTHER INCOME totaled $3 million primarily reflecting $2 million of gains on the sale of real estate and $1 million of returns from joint venture investments.  The prior year&#8217;s second quarter gains and other income totaled $3 million largely related to gains on the sale of real estate.</p>
<p>INTEREST EXPENSE increased $16 million to $44 million in the second quarter primarily due to $14 million of interest expense related to the consolidation of debt associated with securitized Timeshare notes, lower capitalized interest and interest expense associated with the company&#8217;s deferred compensation plan partially offset by the impact of lower debt balances and interest rates.  Adjusting for the impact of consolidating securitized loans had that occurred at the beginning of 2009 rather than 2010, second quarter 2009 interest expense would have been $18 million higher.<br />
Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)<br />
EBITDA totaled $278 million in the 2010 second quarter.  In the 2009 second quarter, adjusted EBITDA totaled $220 million.  If the consolidation of securitized timeshare notes had occurred at the beginning of 2009, adjusted EBITDA in the 2009 second quarter would have totaled $252 million.<br />
BALANCE SHEET<br />
At the end of the second quarter 2010, total debt was $2,911 million and cash balances totaled $100 million, compared to $2,298 million in debt and $115 million of cash at year-end 2009.  Adjusting for the debt associated with securitized Timeshare mortgage notes now required to be consolidated under new accounting rules, adjusted total debt, net of cash, has declined by over $350 million since year-end 2009.  </p>
<p>At the end of the 2010 second quarter, Marriott had borrowings of approximately $100 million outstanding under its $2.4 billion bank revolver, about $900 million lower than the end of the 2009 first quarter.</p>
<p>COMMON STOCK<br />
Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS totaled 377.4 million in the 2010 second quarter compared to weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding of 366.0 million used to calculate adjusted diluted EPS in the year-ago quarter.<br />
The remaining share repurchase authorization, as of June 18, 2010, totaled 21.3 million shares.  No share repurchases are planned for 2010.</p>
<p>THIRD QUARTER 2010 OUTLOOK<br />
For the third quarter, the company assumes comparable systemwide REVPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 5 to 7 percent in North America, 7 to 9 percent outside North America and 6 to 8 percent worldwide.<br />
The company assumes third quarter 2010 Timeshare contract sales will total $165 million to $175 million and Timeshare sales and services revenue, net of direct expenses, will total approximately $50 million to $55 million.  With these assumptions, Timeshare segment results for the third quarter, including interest expense associated with securitized notes, are expected to total $30 million to $35 million.<br />
FULL YEAR 2010 OUTLOOK<br />
For the full year 2010, the company assumes comparable systemwide REVPAR on a constant dollar basis will increase 4 to 6 percent in North America, 6 to 8 percent outside North America and 4 to 6 percent worldwide.</p>
<p>The company expects to open over 30,000 rooms in 2010 as most hotels expected to open are already under construction or undergoing conversion from other brands.<br />
The company continues to estimate that, on a full-year basis, one point of worldwide systemwide REVPAR impacts total fees by approximately $10 million to $15 million pretax and impacts owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expense, by approximately $3 million to $5 million pretax.<br />
For its timeshare business, the company assumes 2010 timeshare contract sales will be in line with 2009 levels.  For 2010, Timeshare sales and services revenue, net of direct expenses, is expected to total $205 million to $215 million.  Timeshare segment results for 2010, including interest expense associated with previously securitized notes, is expected to total $115 million to $125 million.<br />
The company expects that its 2010 general, administrative and other expenses will total $650 million to $660 million reflecting higher incentive compensation.</p>

<p><div id="attachment_304" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://thenewsoftoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dot-hill-300x137.jpg" alt="dot hill systems" title="dot-hill" width="300" height="137" class="size-medium wp-image-304" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dot Hill Systems</p></div>Dot Hill Systems Corp. (Nasdaq: HILL), a provider of world-class storage solutions and software for OEMs, open storage partners and system integrators, today provided guidance for the second quarter of 2010 and announced a restructuring plan intended to enable the company to achieve non-GAAP EBITDA break-even by the fourth quarter of 2010.</p>
<p>Guidance for Second Quarter 2010<br />
Following a comprehensive financial review and with its restructuring plan now underway, the Company anticipates second quarter 2010 net revenue to be in the range of $62 to $65 million and a non-GAAP net loss per share in the range of $0.07 to $0.10. Management expects cash and cash equivalents on June 30, 2010 to be between $40 and $43 million.</p>
<p>Restructuring Details<br />
The Company additionally announced the implementation of a restructuring and cost reduction plan, referred to as the 2010 Plan, that will include severance and related costs for an approximate 10% reduction in its global workforce and the acceleration of the closure of the Company&#8217;s Carlsbad, California facility. The Company expects to record severance costs in the range of $300,000 to $500,000 and facility reduction costs in the range of $200,000 to $350,000 in connection with the 2010 Plan. In addition, the Company announced a 10% reduction in the annual base salaries of its vice-president and executive management teams, including the Company&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and a 5% reduction in the annual base salaries of certain of its employees below the vice-president level.</p>
<p>&#8220;We expect to realize the majority of the benefits associated with these actions starting July 1,&#8221; said Dana Kammersgard, President and Chief Executive Officer.  &#8220;The aggregate benefit is a significant reduction in break-even levels and our projections indicate that we should break-even on a non-GAAP EBITDA basis by the fourth quarter of 2010.  In our last earnings call, I indicated our intent to break-even at between $60 million to $65 million in quarterly revenues, depending on product and customer mix.  I believe these actions should enable consistent financial improvements throughout the remainder of this year and achievement of this objective.&#8221;</p>

(Nasdaq: CWTR) today reported financial results for the three-month period ended May 1, 2010.</p>
<p>First Quarter 2010 Operating Results<br />
Net sales were $243.1 million, compared with $228.4 million in the fiscal 2009 first quarter. Sales from the retail segment, which includes the Company&#8217;s premium retail stores, outlet stores and day spa locations, were $176.0 million versus $170.7 million in the fiscal 2009 first quarter. Comparable premium store sales increased 1.0 percent in the first quarter versus the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  Direct sales (phone and internet) increased 16.3% to $67.1 million from $57.7 million in the same period last year.</p>
<p>Gross profit was $90.9 million, or 37.4 percent of net sales, compared with $71.1 million, or 31.1 percent of net sales, for the fiscal 2009 first quarter. The 630 basis point increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to an increase in merchandise margin and to a lesser extent leverage of occupancy expenses resulting from higher sales.</p>
<p>Selling, general and administrative expenses (&#8220;SG&#038;A&#8221;) were $86.5 million, or 35.6 percent of net sales, compared with $82.7 million, or 36.2 percent of net sales, for the fiscal 2009 first quarter. The increase in SG&#038;A was driven by higher marketing expense and employee related costs as compared with the first quarter last year.  SG&#038;A as a percent of sales improved by 60 basis points year-over-year.<br />
Net income for the three-month period was $2.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.08 per share, for the three-month period ended May 2, 2009.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are pleased with the improvement in our first quarter results, which began to benefit from the steps we are taking to reposition the company for profitable growth,&#8221; stated Dennis Pence, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coldwater Creek.  &#8220;During the quarter, our realigned price points and improved sale strategy led to increases in average unit retail and merchandise margin. In addition, we experienced strong sales growth in our Ecommerce business as a result of favorable customer response to our website enhancements. This, combined with our continued focus on expense controls, contributed to a meaningful expansion in our operating margin during the quarter.&#8221;  </p>
<p>&#8220;As we look ahead, we plan to build upon the strategies that led to our improved first quarter results; however, we remain intently focused on aligning our inventory with our expected sales trends,&#8221; Mr. Pence continued. &#8220;As planned, during the second quarter, we will aggressively work to reduce our inventory levels, which will pressure realized margins. In addition, we remain cautious as the early response to our summer collection has been softer than expected and will likely put additional pressure on our second quarter margins. However, we continue to believe we are on track to achieve our original earnings expectations for the year.&#8221;<br />
Balance Sheet<br />
At May 1, 2010, cash totaled $61.2 million, as compared with $74.9 million in cash at May 2, 2009.  Premium retail store inventory per square foot, including retail inventory in the distribution center, increased by approximately 16 percent over historically low inventory levels at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009, representing a 1% decrease on a two-year basis. Working capital increased by $21.2 million to $109.9 million at May 1, 2010, from $88.7 million at May 2, 2009.</p>
<p>Store Openings<br />
The Company opened four new premium retail stores and closed one premium retail store and one outlet store during the three-month period ended May 1, 2010, ending the quarter with 359 premium retail stores.  The Company plans to open approximately 20 new retail stores in fiscal 2010.  </p>
<p>Outlook<br />
The Company expects to report a loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2010; however, it expects an improvement over the $0.05 loss per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. This assumes a mid-single digit year-over-year percentage increase in total net sales.  For fiscal 2010, the company continues to expect that it will report earnings per share of between $0.08 and $0.12, with the majority of the earnings growth coming in the second half of the year. This compares to a fiscal 2009 loss per share of $0.61, which included charges of approximately $0.33 per share related to the income tax valuation allowance, separation agreement expenses, and non-cash asset impairment charges.</p>

(OTC Bulletin Board: YSYB) (&#8220;Yanglin&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), one of the leading domestic processors of soybean products in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010.<br />
Mr. Shulin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Yanglin, commented, &#8220;During 2009, we experienced certain difficulties caused by the unfavorable pricing environment for both our raw materials and end products, as a result of the combined effect of the Chinese government&#8217;s strategic reserve purchase of domestic soybeans and large imports of soybean into China at lower prices. In the first quarter of 2010, however, we managed to generate a slight gross profit, as a result of the improvement in the prices of our products. In addition, we generated $3.2 million of cash from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to using $956K of cash for the comparable quarter 2009. The cash generated in the first quarter of 2010 was primarily a result of reducing the purchase of inventory. We believe that, as one of the largest domestic soybean processors in Northeast China, with an annual production capacity of 520,000 metric tons, that we are well positioned in China&#8217;s domestic soybean industry, which still receives continuing support from the Chinese government and, which we believe, has promising prospects in the long-term, considering the growing demand for the soybean products in the country.&#8221;<br />
Mr. Lu continued, &#8220;In addition to the implementation of cost saving measures, we are closely monitoring new government policy announcements. In late 2009, after lobbying efforts of the domestic soybean industry, the Chinese government announced that it would grant subsidies to soybean processors who purchased domestic non-GM soybeans from farmers at a government-guided price. We believe that this measure may help domestic soybean processors, including Yanglin, to recover the cost of raw materials. More importantly, we believe that this measure is a signal by the government of its willingness to render further support to our industry. In the meantime, we intend to continue to focus on making our operations more efficient and on providing the same high-quality products and service our customers expect.&#8221;<br />
First Quarter 2010 Results<br />
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $34.1 million, compared to $43.0 million recorded for the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in sales during this period was mainly caused by reduced supply of raw materials, due to the fact that China suffered from a reduction in the soybean production in 2009 due to the conversion to corn for better economics and the unfavorable weather conditions. Meanwhile, the average selling prices of our products increased in the first quarter of 2010, since the demand for soybean products was traditionally strong during the Chinese New Year and the prices of imported soybeans were high in the first quarter, as compared to historical data. As a result, we generated a gross profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2010 was $16,623,as compared to a gross loss of $1,142,022 for the first quarter of 2009.<br />
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2010 decreased to $914,818, from $1,087,426 in the first quarter of 2009. Selling expenses for the first quarter of 2010 decreased to $64,776, slightly lower than $69,246 for the first quarter of 2009. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2010 were $850,042, as compared to $1,018,180 for the first quarter of 2009. The reduction was mainly the result of the strict cost saving measures in items such as business entertainment and travel.<br />
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $898,195, as compared to a loss of $2,229,448 for the first quarter of 2009. Yanglin has been recognized as a &#8220;Key Leading Enterprise&#8221; in the industrial sector of the important agriculture industry by the Chinese government. The Company will benefit from its income tax exempt status from January 2010 until June 2012.<br />
During 2009, we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, &#8220;Derivatives and Hedging&#8221; (&#8220;ASC 815&#8243;) (previously ElTF 07-5, &#8220;Determining Whether an instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity&#8217;s Own Stock&#8221;). In 2009, we incurred non-cash income of $59.4 million resulting from the change in fair value of warrants issued to investors in conjunction with the Company&#8217;s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in October 2007. The accounting treatment of the warrants resulted from an anti-dilution provision to the warrant holders. In the first quarter of 2010, the non-cash income related to the change in fair value of these warrants was $5.1 million, as compared to $27.1 million in the first quarter of 2009, as restated.<br />
Net income for the first quarter of 2010, after including the non-cash income from the change in fair value of warrants, totaled $4.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with net income of $24.9 million, after including the non-cash income from the change in fair value of the warrants, or $0.63 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009.<br />
Cash Positions<br />
The Company&#8217;s balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 included cash of $38.0 million, compared with $34.8 million at December 31, 2009. The Company had net working capital of $26.1 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to $26.5 million as of December 31, 2009. Total shareholders&#8217; equity was $34.9 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to $30.9 million as of December 31, 2009.<br />
Business Update<br />
Mr. Liu concluded, &#8220;Over the last few months of 2009, we have been pleased to see some positive signs coming on the horizon, including news that the Chinese government will grant a subsidy to domestic soybean processors for the soybeans they purchased from local farmers. We believe that this policy is the start of a series of potential further financial supports to the domestic non-GM soybean industry, which we believe will be favorable to our operations when received. In addition, in the first quarter of 2010, we managed to generate a slight gross profit, which we believe is also a positive sign. We are still confident in the long-term prosperity of China&#8217;s soybean market and business, and we believe that we will see a recovery of our operations and profitability.&#8221;</p>
