Item 8.01. Other Events.

Golden Elephant Glass Technology, Inc. (the "Company") recently decided to accelerate a maintenance program for one of its float glass production lines due to current economic conditions which have resulted in a significant decrease in the price of float glass during the winter of 2008. Implementation of the Company’s maintenance program, which had originally been scheduled to occur in the second half of 2009, resulted in an immediate suspension of operations of the float glass production line and a concomitant reduction in sales of float glass products. The maintenance program started at the end of November 2008 and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2009. The Company’s maintenance program involves performing routine maintenance, making required upgrades to its production line, and improving the technology for manufacturing its higher end ultra-clear glass products.

Management believes that implementing the maintenance program now, at a time when float glass prices are depressed, will mitigate the negative economic impact of suspended operations and lost revenues from reduced float glass sales and position the Company for efficient operations when and if the prices of float glass return to past levels.

Once the maintenance program is completed, the Company expects to re-commence full operation of its production line and the daily melting capacity of which will be increased from 300 metric tons to approximately 330 metric tons. The management believes that the acceleration of the maintenance program could have a negative near-term impact the Company’s revenue and net income in 2008 and 2009, although the impact of which is uncertain as of the date of this report.
