China TMK Battery Systems Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DFEL) (“TMK” or “the Company”) (formerly, Deerfield Resources, Ltd.), a Chinese manufacturer and distributor of customized rechargeable battery solutions to global consumer product companies, today announced that on December 30, 2011, it filed a Certification and Notice of Suspension of Duty to File Reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in order to reduce substantial legal and accounting expenses. The Company was eligible to deregister its common shares because it had fewer than 300 holders of record of its common shares at the beginning of its fiscal year.

The Board of Directors is in the process of evaluating strategic alternatives for the Company including a sale, merger, privatization, or other business combination, however, the Company has not set a timetable for completion of this evaluation process and there can be no assurances that this review will result in any action. The Company does not expect to make any further comments unless the Board of Directors has approved a specific course of action or otherwise deems disclosure appropriate.

“We believe our company has a bright future ahead,” explained Mr. Henian Wu, Chairman and President of the Company. “Since we became a public company in February 2010, our revenues have increased from $48.6 million in 2009 to an estimated $84 million in 2011, significantly faster than the industry. Despite this strong performance and ongoing efforts to strengthen our competitive position, our stock continues to trade at a depressed valuation. We expect that the Company will have attractive options to consider. In the meantime, our Management team will continue to focus on executing our business plan and serving our customers.”

The Company’s Form 15 filing on December 30, 2011 immediately suspended the Company’s obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, however, the Company’s common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTCQB and eligible shareholders may continue to avail themselves of legend removal under Rule 144 until the deregistration becomes effective. The Company expects that the deregistration of its common stock will become effective on or before March 31, 2012. Following deregistration, the Company’s common shares will only be quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets and its shareholders may no longer avail themselves of Rule 144.

China Botanic Pharmaceutical Inc. (NYSE AMEX: CBP) (“China Botanic” or the “Company”), a developer, manufacturer and distributor of botanical products, bio-pharmaceuticals and Traditional Chinese Medicines (“TCM”) in China, today announced that the Company successfully showcased its all-natural products at the 66th PHARMCHINA fair (“the Fair”) recently held in Zhengzhou, China.

China Botanic’s all-natural and plant based remedies attracted significant attention and interest from manufacturers, distributors, and other attendees at the Fair. The Company was focused on increasing knowledge and awareness of its all natural products which are beneficial in treatment and prevention of depression. Over 20 distributors expressed strong interest in the Company’s anti-depressant products and are seeking to engage in further discussion on potential partnerships. Management estimates an approximate revenue contribution of RMB5 million (or approximately $0.8 million) in fiscal year 2012 from the business generated at the fair compared to the contribution of $0.6million from last year’s fair.

“PHARMCHINA is China’s largest pharmaceutical fair which attracts attendees from all over the country, providing an ideal platform to promote our products and brand,” said Mr. Shaoming Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Botanic. “Our focus on the anti-depressant segment reflects the growing customer demand for effective anti-depressant remedies. An estimated 30 million people in China suffer from depression, and yet China has only in recent years listed depression as a disease. We are pleased with the increased awareness we created and the response we received at the fair this year. We will continue to participate in similar events to build disease awareness and long-term brand recognition of our products. At the same time, we continue to grow our business organically and enhance our overall operational efficiency.”
