Spring Pharmaceutical Group Inc. Starts Harvesting Seed Pods from Its Acer Truncatum Bunge Planting Bases

JINING,China,Nov. 27,2018 -- Spring Pharmaceutical Group,Inc. (OTCQB: CYIG) ("Spring Pharmaceutical" or the "Company") today announced that it has started reaping seed pods from over 700,000 trees,or approximately 10% of the total of approximately 7,000,at its 5,880 mu truncatum bunge planting bases (the "Planting Bases"). This marks the first harvest of seed pods from acer truncatum trees grown by the Company since the Company started the development of its own Planting Bases in June 2013. The Company expects to reap over 300 tons of seed pods at the Planting Bases through December 31,2018 that can be used for production of approximately 30 tons of acer truncatum seed oil. Before harvesting its own seed pods,the Company has been dependent on purchases of all its seed pods from third party vendors since July 2015.

"Since June 2013,we have invested over $49 million in the Planting Bases and planted over 7,000 acer truncatum bunge trees. As the remaining crops of seed pods will be gradually ready for production as the trees mature during the next three or four years,depending upon the timing of their harvest,we believe this further strengthens our market position as a fully integrated,industrial-scale acer truncatum seed oil producer. With self-grown planting bases,modern oil production facilities,and direct sale channels,we believe that our acer truncatum seed oil business has competitive advantages in pricing,production and distribution," said Tinghe Yan,Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spring Pharmaceutical.
