Business

. The leading provider of virtualization solutions

. Virtualization solutions represent a pioneering approach to computing that separates the operating system

and application software from the underlying hardware to achieve significant improvements in efficiency,

availability, flexibility and manageability.

. VMW solutions enable organizations to aggregate multiple servers, storage infrastructure and networks

together into shared pools of capacity that can be allocated dynamically, securely and reliably to

applications as needed, increasing hardware utilization and reducing spending.

. VMW believes that the market opportunity for its virtualization solutions is large and expanding, with

24.6 million x86 servers and 489.7 million business client PCs installed worldwide as of December 2006.

Customer base

. Includes 100% of the Fortune 100 and over 84% of the Fortune 1,000.

. Has grown to include 20,000 organizations of all sizes across numerous industries

. VMW believes its solutions deliver significant economic value for customers, and many have adopted

VMW's solutions as the strategic and architectural foundation for their future computing initiatives.

Market growth

. VMW believes that the addressable market opportunity for its virtualization solutions is large and

expanding.

. IDC estimates that less than one million of the 24.6 million x86 servers and less than five million of the

489.7 million business client PCs deployed worldwide are running virtualization software.

. VMW believes industry trends towards more powerful yet under-utilized multi-core servers and the

increasing complexity of managing desktop environments will further accelerate the widespread adoption

of virtualization for both server and desktop deployments.

Virtualization history

. First introduced in the 1970s to enable multiple business applications to share and fully harness the

centralized computing capacity of mainframe systems.

. Virtualization was effectively abandoned during the 1980s and 1990s when client-server applications and

inexpensive x86 servers and desktops established the model of distributed computing.

. Rather than sharing resources centrally in the mainframe model, organizations used the low cost of

distributed systems to build up islands of computing capacity, providing some benefits but also introducing

new challenges.

. In 1999, VMware introduced virtualization to x86 systems as a means to efficiently address many of these

challenges and to transform x86 systems into general purpose, shared hardware infrastructure that offers

full isolation, mobility and operating system choice for application environments.

Industry Background

The introduction of x86 servers in the 1980s provided a low-cost alternative to mainframe and proprietary

UNIX systems. The broad adoption of Windows and the emergence of Linux as server operating systems in

the 1990s established x86 servers as the industry standard. The growth in x86 server and desktop

deployments has introduced new operational risks and IT infrastructure challenges.

> These challenges include:

o Low Infrastructure Utilization

Typical x86 server deployments achieve an average utilization of only 10% to 15% of total capacity,

according to International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research firm. Organizations typically run one

application per server to avoid the risk of vulnerabilities in one application affecting the availability of

another application on the same server.

o Increasing Physical Infrastructure Costs

The operational costs to support growing physical infrastructure have steadily increased. Most computing

infrastructure must remain operational at all times, resulting in power consumption, cooling and facilities

costs that do not vary with utilization levels.

o Increasing IT Management Costs

As computing environments become more complex, the level of specialized education and experience

required for infrastructure management personnel and the associated costs of such personnel have

increased. Organizations spend disproportionate time and resources on manual tasks associated with server

maintenance, and thus require more personnel to complete these tasks.

o Insufficient Failover and Disaster Protection

Organizations are increasingly affected by the downtime of critical server applications and inaccessibility

of critical end user desktops. The threat of security attacks, natural disasters, health pandemics and

terrorism has elevated the importance of business continuity planning for both desktops and servers.

o Desktop Management and Security

Managing and securing enterprise desktops present numerous challenges. Controlling a distributed desktop

environment and enforcing management, access and security policies without impairing users' ability to

work effectively is complex and expensive. Numerous patches and upgrades must be continually applied to

desktop environments to eliminate security vulnerabilities.

VMW's virtualization solutions

. Run on industry-standard servers and desktops and support a wide range of operating system and

application environments, as well as networking and storage infrastructure.

. Functions independently of the hardware and operating system to provide customers with a broad

platform choice

. VMW's solutions provide a key integration point for hardware and infrastructure management vendors to

deliver differentiated value that can be applied uniformly across all application and operating system

environments.

> Key benefits to VMW's virtualization solutions include:

o Server Consolidation and Infrastructure Optimization

Enables organizations to achieve significantly higher resource utilization by pooling common infrastructure

resources and breaking the legacy "one application to one server" model.

o Physical Infrastructure Cost Reduction

. Through server consolidation and containment, solutions reduce the required number of servers and other

related infrastructure overhead.

. Organizations are able to significantly decrease physical infrastructure costs through reduced data center

space, power and cooling requirements.

o Improved Operational Flexibility and Responsiveness

. Offers a set of automation and management solutions that reduce the amount of time IT professionals

must spend on largely reactive tasks, such as provisioning, configuration, monitoring and maintenance

. Additionally, as the need for physical infrastructure decreases, so does the need for the highly-specialized

personnel required to manage and maintain such environments.

o Increased Application Availability and Improved Business Continuity

. Solutions enable organizations to reduce both planned and unplanned downtime in their computing

environments by allowing them to securely migrate entire virtual environments to separate servers or even

data center locations without user interruption.

o Improved Desktop Manageability and Security

. VMW's desktop virtualization solutions allow IT organizations to efficiently control and secure desktop

environments to end users regardless of their location, desktop hardware, operating system or business

application access needs.

History with EMC Corp (NYSE: EMC, $37bb market cap)

. VMW was acquired by EMC in January 2004, and prior to this offering operated as a wholly owned

subsidiary of EMC

. Immediately following this offering and subject to the closing of the sales of our Class A common stock

to Intel Capital Corporation and Cisco Systems, Inc. EMC will hold 87% of VMW's outstanding common

stock and 98% of the combined voting power of outstanding common stock

Competition

> Microsoft is the primary competitor for virtualization solutions

. Microsoft currently provides products that compete with some of VMW's entry-level offerings and has

announced its intention to provide products that will compete with some of VMW's enterprise-class

products in the future.

. VMR has developed its virtualization solutions as a software layer between the hardware and the

operating system that is not tied to a specific operating system

. VMR believes its approach is differentiated from Microsoft's and delivers significant flexibility and

superior economic value to customers.

> Other

. Also competes with small companies whose products are based on emerging open-source technologies for

system virtualization.

. In addition, competes with companies that take different approaches to virtualization.

. However, VMR believes these solutions offer limited support for heterogeneous operating system

deployments.

. Furthermore, VMR's VMware Infrastructure suite competes with products that provide high availability

clustering, workload management and resource management.

Intellectual Property

. 22 US patents covering various aspects of server virtualization and other technologies

. The granted United States patents will expire beginning in 2018, with the latest granted patent expiring in

'2024.

. Also has numerous United States provisional and non-provisional patent applications pending that cover

other aspects of virtualization and other technologies.

Investments by Intel & Cisco

> Intel

. Intel Capital, the global investment arm of Intel, has agreed to invest $218.5 million in VMR's Class A

common stock at $23.00 per share

. Intel's investment is intended to foster strengthened intercompany collaboration towards accelerating

VMware virtualization product adoption on Intel architecture and reinforcing the value of virtualization

technology for customers.

> Cisco

In July 2007, Cisco Systems, Inc., or Cisco, agreed to purchase $150mm of Class A common stock from

EMC at $25.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million

Use of $866mm in IPO proceeds from sale of 75.1mm shares

including 9.5mm shares to be sold to Intel

o Repay $350.0 million of intercompany indebtedness* owed to EMC;

o Purchase from EMC VMW's new headquarters facilities for an amount equal to the cost expended by

EMC to date in constructing the facilities, which totaled approximately $127.0 million

o For working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance growth, develop new

products and fund capital expenditures and potential acquisitions.

* the intercompany indebtedness was incurred in April 2007 to fund an $800 million dividend paid to EMC

in the form of a note.

Competition

> Amelior, being developed for the treatment of pain and fever, primarily in a hospital setting. A variety of

products already address the acute pain market.

. Ketorolac (brand name Toradol®), an injectable NSAID, is also manufactured and distributed by several

generic pharmaceutical companies.

Other

. Companies developing injectable, non-narcotic analgesics for the treatment of post-surgical pain are the

primary potential competitors to Amelior.

. Cadence Pharmaceuticals Inc. is developing an injectable formulation of acetaminophen for the treatment

of pain and fever

. Javelin Pharmaceuticals Inc. is developing an injectable form of an NSAID, diclofenac.

Not aware of others

. CPIX is not aware of any approved injectable products indicated for the treatment of fever in the U.S.

. There are, however, numerous drugs available to physicians to reduce fevers in hospital settings via oral

administration to the patient, including acetaminophen, ibuprofen and aspirin. These drugs are

manufactured by numerous pharmaceutical companies.

> Acetadote

. Acetadote is CPIX's injectable formulation of NAC for the treatment of acetaminophen overdose. NAC is

accepted worldwide as the standard of care for acetaminophen overdose. Despite the availability of

injectable NAC outside the United States, Acetadote, to our knowledge, is the only injectable NAC product

approved in the U.S. to treat acetaminophen overdose.

products which CPIX believes are primary competitors are Amitiza® and liquid lactuloses:

-- Amitiza is indicated for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults AND is marketed by

Sucampo Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited; and

-- Liquid lactulose products #NAME? marketed by a number of pharmaceutical companies.

-- In addition, Kristalose competed with the prescription product Zelnorm® until it was pulled from the

market in March 2007 due to adverse safety findings. Indicated for treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation

in persons under aged 65 and produced by Novartis Pharma AG, Zelnorm is under further

review by the FDA.

-- There are several hundred OTC Products used to treat constipation marketed by numerous

pharmaceutical and consumer health companies. MiraLax® (polyethylene glycol 3350), previously a

prescription product, is indicated for the treatment of constipation and is manufactured and marketed by

Braintree Laboratories, Inc. and other generic pharmaceutical firms. Under an agreement with Braintree,

Schering-Plough introduced MiraLax as an OTC product in February 2007.

Recent developments

. EJ estimates that it generated revenues ranging from approximately $22.5 million to $24.0 million for

the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

. Also estimates that it had income from operations ranging from approximately $9.2 million to $10.0 million and

. Net income ranging from approximately $6.0 million to $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Business

. A leading real estate services company in China based on scope of services, brand recognition and

geographic presence.

. Provides primary real estate agency services, secondary real estate brokerage services as well as real

estate consulting and information services

. China Real Estate Information Circle system, or CRIC system: EJ believes their CRIC system is the only

information system that provides up-to-date, comprehensive and in-depth information covering residential

and commercial real estate properties in all major regions in China.

. EJ ranked as the largest real estate agency and consulting services company in China for three consecutive

years from 2004 to 2006 by the China Real Estate Top 10 Committee, as measured by the number of

transactions facilitated, transaction value and GFA of properties sold and geographic coverage.

Segments

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 the segment distribution of revenue was

. Real estate agency services, 79.4%

. Secondary real estate brokerage services, 11.5%

. Real estate consulting and information services, 9.1%

Highlights

o Enhanced brand recognition and leading position in the real estate services market, as evidenced by the

award received on March 28, 2007 as the largest real estate agency and consulting service company for the

third consecutive year;

o CRIC system was further expanded from covering real estate data in nine cities as of March 31, 2007 to 24 cities

as of June 30, 2007

o Secondary brokerage store network was further expanded from 114 stores as of March 31, 2007 to 141

stores as of June 30, 2007;

o Experienced a minimum of 40.6% increase in revenues from $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2007 to

the estimated revenues ranging from approximately $22.5 million to approximately $24.0 million for the

second quarter of 2007; and

o Experienced a minimum of 36.4% increase in net income from $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2007 to

the estimated net income ranging from approximately $6.0 million to approximately $6.5 million for the

second quarter of 2007.

Tax issues

. Under the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, enterprises that are established under the laws of foreign

countries or regions and whose "de facto management bodies" are located within the PRC territory are

considered PRC resident enterprises, and will be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of

25% on their worldwide income.

. However, the new law does not define the term "de facto management bodies." Substantially all of our

management are currently located in China, and if they remain located in China after January 1, 2008, the

effective date of the new law, EJ's offshore holding companies may be considered PRC resident enterprises

and therefore be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income

. This may increase EJ's tax expenses and adversely affect results of operations.

Customer concentration & developer relationships

. Generated 95.2%, 89.2% and 81.6% of total revenues from primary real estate agency services in 2004,

2005 and 2006, respectively.

. Although EJ is expanding service offerings, EJ expects to continue to rely on primary real estate agency

services to generate a significant portion of revenues for the foreseeable future.

. Revenues from primary real estate agency services are typically generated on a project-by-project basis

and are non-recurring in nature. This may contribute to the fluctuations in our period-to-period operation

results.

. EJ typically enters into agency agreements with developers shortly before they are expected to obtain

permits to sell their newly developed properties. However, the timing of obtaining these sales permits

varies from project to project and is subject to uncertain and potentially lengthy delays as developers need

to obtain a series of other permits and approvals related to the development before obtaining the sales

permit.

Seasonal

. Operating income and earnings have historically been substantially lower during the first quarter than

other quarters.

. This results from the relatively low level of real estate activity during the winter and the Chinese New

Year holiday period, which normally falls within the first quarter each year.

Competition

> EJ's competitive position in Shanghai, Wuhan and Fuzhou is stronger than its position in other local

markets.

. In Shanghai, EJ remained as the leading comprehensive real estate services company for three consecutive

years starting in 2004 and

. EJ's leading position was recognized by the prestigious "Golden Bridge" Award EJ received annually for

the same period from the Shanghai Real Estate Services Company Association.

> In the primary real estate agency services market, main competitors include World Union Real Estate

Consultancy (China) Ltd., Hopefluent Group Holdings Limited, Shanghai T&D Real Estate Co. Ltd. And

B.A. Consulting Company, all of which operate in multiple cities in China

> In the secondary real estate brokerage services market, EJ competes with established international and

domestic real estate brokerage firms, including Century 21 China Real Estate, Centaline Group, Coldwell

Banker, Shanghai House Exchange Co., Ltd., SUNCO Real Estate Co., Ltd., and 5i5j Real Estate Co. Ltd.,

in terms of number of brokerage storefronts, sales force and geographic coverage.

> In the real estate consulting and information service market, competes with other leading international

and domestic real estate services companies which provide real estate consulting services, including DTZ

International, Jones Lang LaSalle, CB Richard Ellis and First Pacific Savills

. On-demand employment screening solutions

. Offer a comprehensive set of background screening services including criminal, motor vehicle and other

public records searches, employment, education and professional license verifications and credit checks, as

well as drug and health screening services.

. During 2006, we processed approximately 4.8 million distinct records searches, verifications, checks and

screens for our customers.

Revenue

> June quarter

. HIRE estimates that service revenue and total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were

approximately $16.8 million and $18.6 million, respectively, as compared to $14.0 million and $15.5

million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2006.

. Also estimates that income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $3.0

million, as compared to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2006.

> March quarter

. Service revenue increased $2.9 million, or 24.8%, to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31,

2007 as compared to $11.6 million in the corresponding prior year period.

. This increase was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in service revenue generated from net new

customers and a $1.3 million increase in service revenue derived from existing customers.

. The increase in service revenue from new customers was largely due to customers that started using

HIRE's services in 2006 and therefore generated year over year increases in revenue in 2007 as they scaled

their screening operations with HIRE, and the addition of more than 75 new customers in the first quarter

of 2007, from whom HIRE had not generated revenue during the prior four quarters.

. The increase in service revenue from existing customers was largely due to the sale of additional products

and services to existing customers, further rollout of screening services to other divisions by enterprise

customers and overall growth in hiring.

Customer base

. Serves a diverse customer base in a variety of industries, such as business services, technology,

healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications and financial services.

. During 2006, served more than 1,400 customers, which included 17 of the Fortune 100 companies and 53

of the Fortune 500 companies.

. In 2006, also provided screening solutions to approximately 1,300 of customers' third-party suppliers and

contractors through our supplier screening solutions, including HIRE's Extended Workforce Screening

Solution, which was named one of Human Resource Executive Magazine's 2006 Top HR Products of the

Year.

Competition, fragmented market

. According to its 2004 presentation, the National Association of Professional Background Screeners

estimated that the background screening market at that time consisted of more than 1,000 screening firms

. To HIRE's knowledge, no single private or public firm possesses a market share of greater than 10%.

. Competitors include national employment background screening providers such as First Advantage

Corporation and ChoicePoint, Inc., regional and local employment background screening providers and

smaller, independent private investigations firms

inefficiencies, high operational costs and legacy environmental costs associated with prior

history of net losses.

Market size

> Based on industry reports, MASI estimates that the worldwide pulse oximetry market is over $900

million, the largest component of which is the sale of consumables.

> In addition, MASI believes that the reliability and accuracy of the Masimo SET platform, along with

remote-alarm and monitoring solutions, will facilitate the expansion of MASI pulse oximetry products into

areas beyond critical care settings, including the general care areas of the hospital.

New product pipeline

. MASI ahs recently developed products that non-invasively monitor parameters beyond arterial blood

oxygen saturation level and pulse rate.

. In 2005, launched Masimo Rainbow SET platform utilizing licensed Rainbow technology, which

MASI believes includes the first and only devices cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or

FDA, to non-invasively measure carboxyhemoglobin, or carbon monoxide levels in the blood, and

methemoglobin saturation levels in the blood.

. MASI believes that the use of products incorporating Rainbow technology will become widely adopted

for the non-invasive monitoring of these parameters.

. In addition, MASI believes that it will develop and introduce new products to monitor additional

parameters in the future based on proprietary technology platforms.

March quarter revenue comparison

Three Months ended March 31, 2007 to the Three Months ended March 31, 2006

Total revenue increased $9.7 million, or 19.6%, to $59.0 million for the three months ended March 31,

2007 from $49.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

> Product revenue

. Product revenues increased $11.1 million, or 32.0%, to $45.8 million in the three months ended March 31,

2007 from $34.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

. This increase was primarily due to higher consumable sales resulting from an increase in installed base of

circuit boards and pulse oximeters to 399,000 units at March 31, 2007 from 313,000 units at March 31,

'2006.

. Revenue generated by direct and distribution sales channels increased $9.7 million, or 41.1%, to $33.3

million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, while revenues from our OEM channel increased $1.4

million, or 12.4%, to $12.4 million.

. As part of the increase in our direct and distribution sales channels, Rainbow technology product

revenue increased $868,000 to $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $344,000 in

the three months ended March 31, 2006.

. Royalty revenue

. Royalty and license fee revenue decreased $1.4 million, to $13.2 million in the three months ended March

31, 2007 from $14.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to a lower royalty

rate associated with the 2006 settlement agreement with Nellcor.

> For the three months ended March 31, 2007, MASI reported Nellcor royalties are based upon MASI's

estimate of Nellcor's U.S. pulse oximeter sales for that period.

Royalty revenue

Consists of royalties associated with the January 2006 patent infringement settlement with Nellcor.

. MASI will receive quarterly royalty payments based on the amount of Nellcor's U.S. pulse oximetry

revenues. A predetermined royalty rate will be applied against the amount of Nellcor's U.S. oximetry sales

and this will determine the amount of royalties MASI will be paid.

. Under terms of the agreement, the royalty rates decline from 20% in 2006 to a range of 12% to 15% in

2007 and then to a range of 10% to 12% in each year throughout the remainder of the settlement

agreement. As a result of these declining royalty rates, MASI anticipates that 2006 will represent the

highest level of annual royalties that we will earn under this settlement agreement.

Intellectual property

. As of June 30, 2007, had 253 issued patents and 189 pending applications in the United States, Europe,

Japan, Australia, Canada and other countries throughout the world.

. In addition, as of June 30, 2007, technology licensed from development partner, Masimo Labs, was

supported by 26 issued patents and 49 pending applications in the United States and internationally.

Dividends

. In March 2006, paid a cash dividend of $171.8 million

. In February 2007, paid additional cash dividends of $37.1 million

. majority of funds used to pay these cash dividends were paid to stockholders from the after-tax proceeds

that received from a patent infringement lawsuit against Nellcor and the interest thereon.

Competition

> Nellcor

. Primary competitor, Nellcor, currently holds a substantial share of the pulse oximetry market.

. Nellcor sells its own pulse oximeters to end-users, sells pulse oximetry modules to other monitoring

companies on an OEM basis and licenses, to certain OEMs, the right to make their pulse oximetry

platforms compatible with Nellcor sensors.

. Although Nellcor is still a competitor, MASI recently settled a patent infringement case against them

following an appellate ruling which found that Nellcor had infringed three of MASI's patents

> Faces substantial competition from larger medical device companies, including companies that develop

products that compete with MASI's proprietary Masimo SET.

> MASI believes there are seven companies that have announced products which claim to offer read

through motion accuracy. Based on those announcements and MASI investigations, MASI believes that

many of these products include technology that infringes MASI intellectual property rights.

> MASI has settled claims against four of the eight identified companies and intends to vigorously enforce

and protect proprietary rights with respect to the other companies whom MASI believes are infringing

MASI technology.

> Three of the four remaining companies, GE Medical Systems, Philips Medical Systems and Mindray

Medical International Ltd., are OEM licensees of MASI

Business

. Largest online trading platform in Latin America, called MercadoLibre and located at

www.mercadolibre.com.

. Market leaders in e-commerce in each of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru,

Uruguay and Venezuela, based on unique visitors and page views during 2006.

. Additionally, recently launched online trading platforms in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and

Panama.

Market

With a market of over 550 million people and a region with one of the world's fastest-growing Internet

penetration rates, MELIO provides buyers and sellers a robust online trading environment that fosters the

development of a large and growing e-commerce community

Two principal services:

. For 2006, 85.9% were attributable to MercadoLibre marketplace listing, optional feature, final value and

advertisement fees.

. The remaining 14.1% of revenues were attributable to MercadoPago fees.

o The MercadoLibre marketplace

The MercadoLibre marketplace is a fully-automated, topically-arranged and user-friendly online trading

service. This service permits both businesses and individuals to list items and conduct their sales and

purchases online in either a fixed-price or auction-based format. Additionally, through online classified

advertisements, our registered users can also list and purchase motor vehicles, vessels, aircraft, real estate

and services. Any Internet user can browse through the various products and services that are listed on the

website and register with MercadoLibre to list, bid for and purchase items and services.

o The MercadoPago online payments solution

To complement the MercadoLibre marketplace, developed MercadoPago, an integrated online payments

solution. MercadoPago is designed to facilitate transactions on the MercadoLibre marketplace by providing

a mechanism that allows users to securely, easily and promptly send and receive payments online.

March quarter revenue

. Net revenues were $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $5.5 million,

or 49.8%, from net revenues of $11.0 million for the same period in 2006.

> MercadolLibre

This increase was attributable to a 48.1% increase in revenues derived from the MercadoLibre marketplace,

from $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $14.2 million for the same

period in 2007,

> MercadoPago

60.9% increase in revenues derived from MercadoPago, from $1.4 million to $2.3 million.

. Growth in MercadoLibre marketplace revenues resulted principally from a 43.5% increase in the gross

merchandise volume transacted through the platform. The growth in MercadoPago revenues resulted

principally from a 61.3% increase in the total payments completed on the MercadoPago payments platform.

The use of MercadoPago increased to 8.5% of our gross merchandise volume for the three months ended

March 31, 2007 from 7.6% for the same period in 2006.

> The $5.5 million growth in net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, by country, was

primarily a result of an increase of $2.6 million, or 38.0% in net revenues in Brazil, of $0.9 million, or

62.8% in Argentina, and $0.9 million, or 55.3% in Mexico. All other countries combined grew by $1.1

million or 95.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.

March quarter web site results

. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, visitors to MELI's website were able to browse an

average of over 2.9 million total listings per month, organized by country, in over 2,000 different product

categories.

. At March 31, 2007, MELI had 19.7 million total confirmed registered MercadoLibre users.

. For 2006, had 1.7 million unique sellers, 4.4 million unique buyers and 13.8 million successful items sold.

. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we had 0.6 million unique sellers, 1.7 million unique buyers

and 3.9 million successful items sold.

Competition

. Direct competitors include various online sales and auction services, including DeRemate in Chile and

Argentina, MasOportunidades.com in Argentina, and a number of other small services, including those that

serve specialty markets.

. Also competes with businesses that offer business-to-consumer online e-commerce services such as B2W

in Brazil, and with shopping comparison sites, such as Buscape and Bondfaro, located throughout Latin

America.

. Some of these competitors, including Google, Amazon.com, Microsoft and Yahoo! currently offer a

variety of online services, and certain of these companies may introduce online trading to their large user

populations.

. Other large companies with strong brand recognition and experience in online commerce, such as large

newspaper or media companies, may also seek to compete in the online listing market.

> eBay

. In September of 2001, entered into a strategic alliance with eBay, which became a stockholder and started

work with MELI to better serve the Latin American online trading community.

. As part of this strategic alliance, acquired eBay's Brazilian subsidiary at the time, iBazar, and eBay agreed

not to compete with MELI in the region during the term of the agreement.

. The agreement governing the strategic alliance with eBay expired on September 24, 2006.

. Even though eBay is one of MELI's stockholders, with the termination of the agreement, there are no

contractual restrictions upon eBay becoming a competitor

Initial distribution rate

Annual rate of $1.20, or 6% at $20, the price range midpoint

Business

. Limited partnership engaged in the business of gathering and processing natural gas produced from the

Barnett Shale geologic formation of the Fort Worth Basin located in north Texas.

. Began operations in 2004 to provide these services primarily to Quicksilver Resources Inc.*, the owner of

the general partner, as well as other natural gas producers in this area.

. During the first quarter of 2007, 93% of total natural gas gathering and processing volumes were

comprised of natural gas owned or controlled by Quicksilver.

*Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK), $3.3bb market cap

Operations

. Results of operations are determined primarily by the volumes of natural gas gathered and processed

through gathering and processing systems.

. Gathers and processes natural gas pursuant to arrangements generally categorized as "fee-based"

contracts.

. Under these arrangements, KGS is paid fixed cash fees for performing the gathering and processing

services. Does not take title to the natural gas and associated natural gas liquids, or NGLs, that KGS gathers

and processes and therefore is able to avoid direct commodity price exposure

Competition

> KGS believes it does not currently face any significant competition. As of March 31, 2007,

approximately 93% of its total natural gas gathering and processing volumes were comprised of gas owned

or controlled by Quicksilver.

. Quicksilver has dedicated to KGS all of its natural gas production from the Quicksilver Counties

. Therefore, no other provider of services similar to KGS is able to compete effectively for Quicksilver's

gathering and processing needs from the Quicksilver Counties.

> However, if KGS expands its business in the future, either through organic growth or acquisitions, and is

successful in attracting volumes from other producers, then it would face competition.

. KGS anticipates that primary competitors in the Fort Worth Basin, based on current market conditions,

would be Crosstex Energy LP, Momentum Energy Group and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. and that KGS

gathering and processing systems would compete with other systems located in the Fort Worth Basin based

on processing and fuel efficiencies, operational costs, commercial terms offered to producers and capital

expenditures required for new producer connections, along with the location and available capacity of

gathering systems and processing plants.

. Tully's Coffee is a specialty retailer in the rapidly growing fast-casual categories of specialty coffee,

snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, within the broader quick-service restaurant industry.

. In addition, Tully's also operates as a gourmet coffee roaster and wholesaler in the rapidly growing

specialty coffee industry.

Competition

> Retail

. In addition to Starbucks, on the national retail level competes with regional coffeehouses, such as Coffee

Bean & Tea Leaf and Peet's Coffee & Tea, as well as numerous local coffee shops, convenience stores,

restaurants, street vendors and, to a certain degree, quick service restaurants such as McDonalds and Krispy

Kreme.

. As TULY continues to expand geographically, expects to encounter additional regional and local

competitors, such as Caribou Coffee

> Wholesale

. In the wholesale segment, competes with both specialty coffee roasters, such as Starbucks and Peets, and

large foodservices companies, such as Procter & Gamble, which distributes coffee under the Millstone®

brand.

. Tully's must compete with many gourmet and lower quality coffee roasters and distributors (including

those providing branded and private label coffees) for space on grocery shelves and for distribution by

wholesale foodservice distributors. In the single serve category, the Tully's K-Cup competes with other

Keurig licensees and other single-cup coffee and tea delivery systems and brands.

Business

. The leading China-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology research and development, or R&D,

outsourcing company.

. Operations are grouped into two segments:

(1) laboratory services, consisting of discovery chemistry, service biology, analytical, pharmaceutical

development and process development services, and

(2) manufacturing, focusing on manufacturing of advanced intermediates and active pharmaceutical

ingredients for R&D use, or APIs.

. In 2006 provided services to 70 pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers, including nine of the top 10

pharmaceutical companies in the world, as measured by 2006 total revenues.

. To date, most customers have returned for additional and often larger and longer-term projects, and each

of the top-ten customers over the last three years continues to be a customer today.

Outsourcing industry

. WX has benefited significantly from growth in the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology outsourcing

industry.

. This growth is being driven by the need to increase the speed and lower the cost of drug development,

unmet medical needs of an ageing population, technological innovations that are increasing the conversion

of lead candidates to drugs, increasing regulatory and safety standards, and the demands of the

biotechnology industry.

. In response, many large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are "offshoring" and/or outsourcing

R&D activities to regions with significant resource and cost advantages, such as China.

. Advantages offered by China include a large talent pool in the chemistry, biology and medical sciences

and other related fields, relatively low-cost labor and capital expenditures, a developed infrastructure and

favorable government incentives providing for utility, land and tax advantages.

Growth plan

. Intends to focus in the near term on successfully expanding service capabilities in chemistry, service

biology and manufacturing.

> Laboratory services

. Beginning in 2007, began to offer preclinical development services, such as

DMPK, general toxicology services, as well as pharmaceutical development services and manufacturing of

clinical trial materials.

. Also intend to expand capacity and facilities. Recently opened the Tianjin facility, adding approximately

130,000 square feet of R&D space, and began the expansion of the Jinshan plant to quadruple the

manufacturing capacity of the plant.

. Planning to construct a preclinical drug safety evaluation center in Suzhou, which WX plans to inaugurate

in 2009.

> Manufacturing segment

Expects the manufacturing segment, which typically has a significantly lower gross margin than the

laboratory services segment, will represent an increasing percentage of net revenues in 2007 and beyond

and consequently may result in WX reporting a lower overall gross margin.

. Moreover, WX expects that the anticipated manufacturing projects at the expanded Jinshan facility will

result in even lower margins as WX evolves its business from small-scale, discrete projects to large scale,

higher-volume projects.

. Also expect margins on manufactured drug products to be adversely impacted by changes effective July 1,

2007 in the PRC's value-added tax, or VAT, credit system.

Intellectual property

In the business of providing drug R&D services, WX's customers generally retain ownership of all

associated intellectual property, including those they provide to WX and those arising from the services

WX provides

Competition

. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology R&D outsourcing market remains highly fragmented. According

to Kalorama Information, no single supplier has more than one percent of the drug discovery outsourcing

market.

. WX competes with industry players in particular service areas, for example with Charles River

Laboratories International, Inc., which recently partnered with Shanghai BioExplorer Co., Ltd., in the

preclinical services area, and Shanghai ChemPartner Co., Ltd. and Bioduro, Inc. in the discovery chemistry

area, but WX believes that it does not compete with any single company across the breadth of its service

offerings.
