* Last month, we received CE Mark certification for the VAD 400 and instruments.

* Established six divisions in LTC, each being positioned for license and distribution opportunities. These divisions are: General/GYN- Colon Rectal- Pulmonary- Arthroscopy- Urology- Aesthetics

On the environmentally friendly CleanTech side:

We believe, based upon the above milestones, CSMG International (OTCBB: CTGI) is at a major turning point in terms of revenue generation and corporate expansion.

Sincerely,
