Business Summary
Chai-Na-Ta Corp. is engaged in the growing, processing and marketing of North American ginseng. Ginseng, a woodland plant with species native to both China and North America, is prized for its root that has been the most valuable herb in Oriental medicine for over 2,000 years. The vast proportion of North American ginseng is farm grown. The Company had 1,415 acres under cultivation as of November 30, 1999. Also at that date, the Company had three wholly owned subsidiaries, Chai-Na-Ta Farms Ltd. (CNTF), Chai-Na-Tai International Ltd. (CNTI) and Unique Formulation Inc. (UF).

Financial Summary
Chai-Na-Ta Corp., together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the growing, processing and marketing of North American ginseng. For the six months ended 6/30/01, revenues fell 31% to C$7.8 million. Net income under U.S. GAAP fell 96% to C$408 thousand. Revenues reflect the continued difficult condition for the ginseng industry, and the Company's change of sales strategy. Earnings also suffered from higher interest expense, and the absence of C$11.7 million in restructuring gains.
