Intermost Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: IMOT, which filed an application to change its name to Uni Core Holdings Corporation, and referred to as "UCHC"), an experienced 'company doctor' and aggressive 'incubator' of mid- to large-size companies in China, is pleased to announce that IMOT is in the process of acquiring one of the leading Environmental Paper Products companies in China, APT Paper Product Company (referred to as "APT").

APT is based in Shenzhen, with over 19 years history in the industry in China. Being an OEM, APT manufactures "Honey Comb packaging materials" for LED and Plasma products for a lot of big companies and expensive and fragile product clients, such as Wal-Mart, Costco, Sam's Club, Sony, Nokia, DHL, Haier, Hisense and other well-known companies.

Background of the Acquisition
In March 2009, one of the investors, FFBC Group from Taiwan, approached IMOT to discuss this acquisition which was concluded in September 2009.

IMOT considered this project to have good potential since all the products are environmentally designed and will never become obsolete. Besides, the products are made according to clients' designs and requirements, so they will always meet client needs.

Honeycomb paper products packing industry has a huge market with big potential and wide prospects, and considering APT's industry knowhow, experience and the advanced machinery from Holland, we are confident that the company can be groomed as the market leader in "Honey Comb" products. This is the common goal of both APT and IMOT in this acquisition.

Return on Investment (ROI)
IMOT shall take over an estimated total asset value of around US$22 million, depending on the final audit and valuation result, with additional share issuance.

Based on the forecast of US$6 million profits after tax per annum, the ROI is around 27% per annum. For details, please refer to the Financial Forecast posted on the IMOT website.

This acquisition represents a breakthrough of IMOT's business to become an incubator for the modern green packing and honeycomb paper products packing industry in the next three years. Again, we expect to spin this project off for IPO within a 3-year period.
