Notes:

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) and with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

The financial year end date of the Company and the Group has been changed from 31st December to 31st March to conform with the financial year end date of Chuang’s Consortium International Limited, which became the ultimate holding company of the Company after the completion of a rights issue by the Company in July 2011. Accordingly, the current interim financial period covered a twelve-month period from 1st January, 2011 to 31st December, 2011 and the comparatives covered a twelve-month period from 1st January, 2010 to 31st December, 2010.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended 31st December, 2011 are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the twelve months ended 31st December, 2010, except for certain financial statement items have been adjusted for the twelve months ended 31st December, 2010.

In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations (“new and revised HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA.

Amendments to HKFRSs Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2010 HKAS 24 (as revised in 2009) Related Party Disclosures Amendments to HKAS 32 Classification of Rights Issues Amendments to HK(IFRIC) – Int 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement HK(IFRIC) – Int 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments

The application of the above new and revised HKFRSs in the current interim period has had no material impact on the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and/or disclosures set out in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Group has not early applied new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The following new and revised HKFRSs have been issued after the date the consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended 31st December, 2010 were authorised for issuance and are not yet effective:

Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[1] Mandatory Effective Date of HKFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures[2] HKFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements[1] HKFRS 11 Joint Arrangements[1] HKFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities[1] HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement[1] Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income[3] HKAS 19 (as revised in 2011) Employee Benefits[1] HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate Financial Statements[1] HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures[1] HK(IFRIC) – Int 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine[1]

• 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2013. 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2015. 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July, 2012.

– 3 –

HKFRS l3 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by HKFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2013, with earlier application permitted.

The directors of the Company (the “Directors”) anticipate that HKFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1st April, 2013 and that the application of the new standard may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The Directors anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of the Group.

Hong Kong Profits Tax was calculated at 16.5% of the estimated assessable profit for the twelve months ended 31st December, 2010.

Under the Law of the PRC on EIT (the “EIT Law”) and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiaries is 25%. No provision for EIT of the PRC has been made for the twelve months ended 31st December, 2011 as the Group incurred tax losses for the period.

7. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the following data:

Loss for the period attributable to owners of the Company for the purposes of basic and diluted loss per share Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of basic and diluted loss per share	2011 HK$’000 66,901 Number of shares ’000 1,676,757	2010 HK$’000 73,896 Number of shares ’000 (restated) 1,197,148

The potential ordinary shares attributable to the assumed conversion of convertible notes have anti-dilutive effect for the periods ended 31st December, 2011 and 2010.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of basic and diluted loss per share for both periods have been adjusted for the effect of the bonus element in connection with the rights issue of the Company completed in July 2011.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ON RESULTS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER, 2011

Turnover of the Group increased from HK$293.6 million in last period to HK$302.1 million in this period, representing a slight increase of 2.9%. Turnover derived from printing business amounted to HK$293.1 million (2010: HK$286.4 million), accounted for 97.0% (2010: 97.5%) of the Group’s turnover whereas the remaining represented the revenue from cemetery operations.

Gross profit, principally derived from our printing business, increased by 7.5% to HK$57.5 million (2010: HK$53.5 million). Gross profit margin of the printing business increased from 18.1% in last period to 18.5% in this period. This was mainly attributable to the improved control on raw materials and production costs. The increase in other income by HK$1.6 million (from HK$6.3 million in 2010 to HK$7.9 million in 2011) was mainly due to the gain arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment during the period.

In order to solidify existing customers and attract new customers for sustainable growth, selling expenses increased slightly by 3.3% to HK$31.3 million (2010: HK$30.3 million). Administrative and general expenses decreased by 1.5% to HK$89.1 million (2010: HK$90.5 million) due to tight cost control and reduction of operating costs of the factory in Changan, Dongguan, which has been scaled down since 2010. Finance costs increased to HK$17.2 million (2010: HK$15.0 million) due to increase in level of bank borrowings during the period under review.

Taking all the above factors into account, the Group has achieved a reduction in loss of HK$7.0 million and recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$66.9 million (2010: HK$73.9 million). Loss per share amounted to 4.0 HK cents (2010: 6.2 HK cents).

INTERIM DIVIDEND

In view of the loss incurred by the Group during the period, the Board does not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the twelve months ended 31st December, 2011. No interim dividend had been paid during the period.

BUSINESS REVIEW

(A) Printing Business

The printing business comprised book printing and paper product printing. Our customers are mainly multinational publishers and conglomerates in the United States of America, Europe and Hong Kong. Our products included art books and children books with various binding styles, premium gift products, packaging boxes and paper bags.

– 8 –

European sovereign debt crisis and concern about the United States economy recovery have adversely affected the printing demand from these two major economic regions. Multinational publishers and distributors adopted cautious marketing strategies, causing them to size down or postpone their printing orders in 2011. In order to cope with this adverse economic horizon, our sales team strived hard to maintain orders with existing customers and explore new market. Through their marketing efforts, the Group achieved a turnover level of HK$293.1 million, representing a slight increase of 2.3% over that of last corresponding period.

Apart from the sales side, costs pressure was another major issue that hampered the operating performance of printing segment. Prevailing rise in material cost and increase in minimum wage impacted the printing industry in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Group is aware of this and has, since 2010, continuously been implementing a number of costs control measures to cut down its operating costs. Firstly, the Group had further enhanced and optimized its operating procedures to save costs. Secondly, the Group had implemented rigid inventory and procurement control so as to keep a minimum level of inventory with competitive purchase price. All these measures have contributed to improve the profit margin and reduce the administrative expenses of the Group during the period under review.

The Group is confident that printing demand will eventually rebound after global economy has fully recovered. In view of this, the Group has acquired an industrial land site located at Coastal Industry Zone in Shatian, Dongguan. It covers an area of approximately 78,000 sq. m. which is capable of developing into a factory complex with total gross floor area of 120,000 sq. m..

(B) Cemetery Business

During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$9.1 million (2010: HK$7.1 million) for its cemetery business, representing an increase of 28.2%. In 2011, the Group maintained 2 sales offices in Hong Kong and 5 sales offices in Southern China region. During the year, the Group continued to extend its agency network in both Hong Kong and the Guangdong Province, the PRC. Moreover, the Group has conducted various promotional campaigns so as to build up awareness among target elderly. Through all these measures, the Group has expanded its market presence and achieved a growth in the business.

Our cemetery comprises a site of 518 mu, of which 100 mu have commenced development, and an adjacent site of 4,482 mu has been reserved, making up a total of 5,000 mu. Upon full development of the cemetery, the Group will have a total of approximately 184,000 grave plots and 2,168,000 niches for cremation urns for sale.

In order to enhance the value of the cemetery, the Group has constructed a further 421 grave plots on a piece of vacant land within the existing 100 mu land. The Group continues to explore various proposals so as to further increase the number of grave plots for sale within this area.

– 9 –

In anticipation of the stronger demand for quality burial spaces in the PRC in the future, the Group has commenced negotiation with the local government with a view to commencing development of an additional 250 mu of land within the cemetery. The Group has a plan to develop the 250 mu of land by phases, with the initial phase providing approximately 10,000 grave plots and approximately 40,000 niches for cremation urns for sale.

PROSPECTS

While fully cognizant of the harsh economic outlook and challenges ahead, the Group remains optimistic about the prospect of the printing industry. The Group expects that, with a professional service team and efficient production infrastructure, we can overcome the turmoil.

In 2010, the Group has substantially scaled down our operations in Changan, Dongguan and relocated most of the production facilities to the factory in Yuanzhou, Huizhou. The Changan factory is located near the city centre of the Changan town and its surrounding area is well developed and occupied by premium residential and commercial buildings. In view of the redevelopment potential, the Group is negotiating with the local government to change the land use of the factory site to commercial/residential usage so as to enhance its value.

The rise of aged population and growth in per capita income in the PRC increases the demand of prestigious grave plots and niches. In 2011, the Group achieved a steady growth in cemetery turnover and believed that the upward trend will continue in the future. Based on our experienced sales team and reputation established in the past years, we are confident that this investment will provide long term contribution to the Group.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITIONS

As at 31st December, 2011, cash and bank balances of the Group amounted to HK$144.2 million (2010: HK$107.6 million) whereas bank borrowings as at the same date amounted to HK$63.2 million (2010: HK$91.8 million). The debt to equity ratio (calculated as a percentage of bank borrowings over net asset value attributable to equity owners of the Company) amounted to 11.2% (2010: 18.0%). Most of the Group’s cash, bank balances and bank borrowings were denominated in Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi. Interest on bank borrowings was charged at variable commercial rates prevailing in Hong Kong and the PRC.

In June 2011, the Group has fully repaid a convertible note with principal value of HK$16.7 million. After this repayment, the outstanding convertible notes of the Company now stand at HK$113.0 million and are repayable in 2014.

In July 2011, the Group raised net proceeds of approximately HK$107.0 million by way of a 1 for 1 rights issue to existing shareholders. The rights issue has solidified the Group’s financial strength for its printing and cemetery businesses and the net proceeds will be used to finance the ongoing development of the printing and cemetery operations of the Group.

Net asset value attributable to equity holders as at 31st December, 2011 amounted to HK$565.6 million, equivalent to about HK$0.256 per share.
