(1) Yuying Zhang and Min Zhao are husband and wife.  Each disclaims beneficial ownership in the shares held by the other.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by them.  A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities which may be acquired by such person within 60 days from the date indicated  above upon the exercise of options,  warrants or convertible securities.  Each beneficial owner's percentage of ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by such person (not those held by any other person) and which are exercisable within 60 days of the date indicated above, have been exercised.  All options heretofore granted by the Company have been subsequently exercised and there are currently no options, warrants or any other form of securities convertible into its common stock outstanding.

There are no arrangements, known to the Company, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

PROPOSAL:

TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 25,000,000 TO 50,000,000 SHARES AND TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF 5,000,000 shares of PREFERRED STOCK PAR VALUE $.001 PER SHARE.

The Board of Directors has determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to increase its authorized capital from 25,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and to authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock par value



                                                                                                                                                                  5




$.001 at such times and in such amounts as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

The Company currently has issued and outstanding 9,298,823 shares of its common stock.  Its authorized capital consists of 25,000,000 shares of common stock $0.001 par value per share.  That leaves 15,701,177 shares of common stock available for issuance at this time.  The Company believes that it may need additional shares of common stock available for issuance in the future to raise capital and for possible acquisitions and believes that it is prudent at this time to increase the Company's authorized capital and to authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value to $.001 per share to be issued from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  To do so, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock must approve and has approved of the amendment to the articles of incorporation.

Effect

The issuance by the Company of any additional shares of Common Stock will dilute both the equity interests and the earnings per share, if any, of existing holders of the Common Stock.  Such dilution may be substantial, depending upon the amount of shares issued.  The newly authorized shares of Common Stock will have voting and other rights identical to those of the currently authorized shares of Common Stock.

Certain Matters Related to this Item

The amendment to the articles of incorporation will become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware.  It is anticipated that the foregoing will take place twenty-one (21) days after the Definitive Information Statement is mailed to the Company's shareholders.

Interest of Certain Persons in Favor of or in Opposition to Increasing the Authorized Capital

No officer or director is currently expected to receive any direct or indirect benefit from the Company's proposed increase in its authorized capital.  No officer or director or any person has notified the Company that it intends to oppose the Company's increase in authorized capital.

MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK

There has been no public trading in the Company's common stock and there can be no assurance that a public trading market in the Company's common stock will develop.

Other Matters

No Solicitation of Votes

Under Section 228 of the DGCL, in lieu of a meeting, shareholder action may be taken by written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares necessary to authorize the



                                                                                                                                                                  6




transaction. Shineco's Shareholders owning a total of 9,069,721 shares, or approximately 97.5% of Shineco's outstanding shares, have signed the Written Consent. Therefore, other than those shareholders, no vote of any other shareholder of Shineco is required to authorize the corporate actions described in this Information Statement.

Shineco is not required to solicit and is not soliciting votes or consents from any of its other shareholders.

Payment of Expenses

The payment of expenses related to the preparation and filing of this Information Statement has been made by Shineco.
