About American LorainABOUT AMERICAN LORAIN

Organizational Structure

ALN is a Nevada corporation that was incorporated in Delaware on February 4, 1986 and was formerly known as Millennium“Millennium Quest, Inc. On May 3, 2007, ALN completed a recapitalization, or reverse merger, with ILH. Prior to such date, ALN did not engage in active business operations other than to search for a potential acquisition target. Effective November 16,12, 2009, ALN reincorporated in Nevada from Delaware.

We conduct our production activities in China and, through our majority-owned subsidiary, in France and Portugal. Our products are sold in Chinese domestic markets as well as exported to foreign countries and regions such as Japan, South Korea and Europe. We derive most of our revenues from sales in China, France, Japan and South Korea. In 2015, our primary strategy is to continue building our brand recognition in China through consistent marketing efforts towards supermarkets, wholesalers, and significant customers, enhancing the cooperation with other manufacturers and factories and enhancing the turnover for our existing chestnut, convenience and frozen food products. In addition, we are working to expand our marketing efforts in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. We currently have limited sales and marketing activity in the United States, although our long-term plan is to significantly expand our activities there. We also plan to launch a mass-consumed food product series whose market is highly fragmented in China.

ALN wholly owns 100% of ILH. ILH wholly owns two Chinese operating subsidiaries, Luotian Lorain and Junan Hongrun, directly. Junan Hongrun, in turn, owns 100% and 51% of Dongguan Lorain and Athena respectively. Athena is a holding company which holds all of the capital and the voting shares of Conserverie Minerve, a company organized under French law. Conserverie Minerve specializes in the processing and sale of chestnut and prepared foods products in Europe. Conserverie Minerve operates its businesses through its direct and indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries, Sojafrais, SCI SIAM, SCI GIU LONG and CACOVIN. In addition, together with its subsidiary Junan Hongrun, ILH wholly owns Beijing Lorain, Shandong Greenpia, and owns approximately 80% of Shandong Lorain (Shandong Economic Development Investment Co. Ltd. owns approximately 20%). We sometimes refer to our six Chinese operating subsidiaries and the remaining 20% interest). The following chart depicts our organizational structure:Athena Group throughout this prospectus as the Lorain Group Companies.
