LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR, BENEFITS AND EFFECTS OF THE TRANSFER AND THE SUBSCRIPTION

As stated in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group will allocate more resources into the research and development of higher margin products, such as original designed products, products with electronic components and pop-up books. To cater for the anticipated growth of these higher margin products, there is a need for the expansion of new hand assembly lines and thus the requirements for new factory premises. The Transfer Agreement will enable the Group to acquire the New Dongguan Site which, in the opinion of the Directors, is a suitable site for the construction of new factory premises. Under the Transfer Agreement, the Company will also transfer the Chengdu Property to Chuang’s China, the purpose of which is to reduce the amount of cash consideration for the acquisition of the New Dongguan Site so as to allow the Group to retain more working capital for the ongoing development and expansion of its core printing business. The book value of the Chengdu Property as at 31 December 2006 was HK$25 million. Accordingly, the disposal of the Chengdu Property will not result in any material gain or loss to the Group.

As at 31 December 2006, the cash position of the Group amounted to approximately HK$86.4 million and the bank borrowings of the Group amounted to approximately HK$118.2 million, approximately 95% of which are repayable within three years. These bank borrowings carry interest rates ranging from approximately 4.62% to 6.12% per annum. The issue of the Convertible Note will enable the Company to obtain financing for four years at a relatively low interest rate of 1.5% per annum. The Directors consider that the net proceeds of HK$49.5 million from the Subscription will strengthen the working capital position of the Group and will facilitate its expansion programme mentioned above which is beneficial to the long-term development of the Group.

During the past twelve months prior to 11 May 2007, being the date of the announcement of the Transfer and the Subscription, the Company did not have any fund raising activity.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Transfer and the Subscription are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Save as disclosed in this circular, the Transfer Completion and the Subscription Completion will not have any material impact of the earnings and assets and liabilities of the Group.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CCIL was beneficially interested in approximately 60.5% and 44.7% of the issued share capital of Chuang’s China and the Company respectively. By virtue of the interest of CCIL in Chuang’s China and the Company, Chuang’s China and CCIL are connected persons to the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, each of the Transfer and the Subscription constitutes a connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders by poll at the EGM under the Listing Rules. CCIL and its associates will abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of the proposed resolutions to approve the Transfer and the Subscription. The Transfer also constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM QUAM

A.1. PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

A.1.1. Background of and reasons for the Transfer

  • (i) The principal businesses and the expansion strategy of the Group

The Group is principally engaged in books and paper products printing and property investment.

Printing business

The Group is heavily reliant on its printing business. More than 97% of the Group’s turnover was attributable to its printing business for each of the five years ended 31 December 2006. For the year ended 31 December 2006, the turnover of its printing business accounted for approximately 99.4% of the Group’s turnover and contributed approximately 87.2% to its total segment results.

Gross profit margin of the Group was around 30% to 32% from 2002 to 2004. The increase in raw material costs and labour costs coupled with the appreciation of Renminbi in recent years led to the increase in direct costs of the Group’s printing business. Furthermore, the fierce competition in the printing industry exerted pricing pressure on the Group’s printing products. As a result, the Group’s gross profit margin was reduced to 28.3% in 2005 and 25.8% in 2006.

The Group’s turnover was approximately HK$574.1 million in 2002 and rose steadily to approximately HK$736.9 million in 2004. Turnover levelled off for the following two years. Due to the significant decrease in the export sales to one of the major customers in the first half of 2006, turnover of the Group decreased by 14.9% compared to the same period in 2005. However, the Group managed to increase its sales of printing products in the second half of 2006 and hence, the overall turnover in 2006 was decreased by only 2.7% compared to that of 2005.

In the face of the challenging operating environment discussed above, the management intends to take proactive measures, including developing higher margin products, broadening customer base and implementing effective cost control. As stated in the Company’s annual report of 2006, the Group will allocate more resources into the research and development of innovative products such as original designed products, products with electronic components and pop-up books, and will put additional efforts in the marketing and promotion of these higher margin products.

LETTER FROM QUAM

Property investment

The contributions from the Group’s property investment business had been relatively insignificant compared to its core business of printing. The Group’s property investment business recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$3.8 million in 2006 compared to approximately HK$9.4 million in 2005. The decline was attributable to the disposal of its 51% interest in Chengdu Chuang’s Centre Development Company Limited in 2005, which held the commercial podium and basements of Chengdu Chuang’s Centre at the time of disposal. The purchaser partially settled the consideration by the transfer of the Chengdu Property to the Group.

(ii) Reasons for and benefits of the Transfer

From the perspective of the Group, the Transfer comprises an acquisition of the New Dongguan Site, a disposal of the Chengdu Property together with the Cash Payment, which arises from the difference in value of the two properties to be exchanged.

Acquisition of the New Dongguan Site

Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Company will acquire Chuang’s China’s interest in Success Gain, which consists of Success Gain Shares and Success Gain’s Shareholder Loan, from Chuang’s China.

Success Gain is principally engaged in the holding of the Existing Dongguan Industrial Site. Pursuant to an arrangement with the relevant PRC authority, the Chuang’s China Group agreed to exchange the Existing Dongguan Industrial Site for the New Dongguan Site. Upon obtaining of the state land use rights certificate, the New Dongguan Site will be the sole asset of Success Gain and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Newco. It should be noted that the obtaining of the aforesaid state land use rights certificate by the Newco is a condition precedent to the Transfer Completion.

The New Dongguan Site is a piece of vacant land located at Coastal Industry Zone, Dongguan, Guangdong Province of the PRC. The site area is around 77,913.7 sq. m. designated for industrial purpose.

In anticipation of the growth in demand of the higher margin products, it is essential for the Group to expand its hand assembly lines. The Group, therefore, will require additional factory premises for the implementation of its expansion plan. It is noted that the New Dongguan Site is earmarked for the construction of new factory premises, and the Directors confirmed that they consider the site to be suitable for the expansion purposes. As such, we are of the view that the acquisition of the New Dongguan Site is incidental to the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM QUAM

The Group’s strategy of proposed penetration in the market for higher margin products would help to enhance both its turnover and gross profit margin. In view of the challenging operating environment of its core business of printing as discussed in sub-section (i) above, we concur with the Directors’ view that the aforementioned expansion strategy is of benefits to the Group in respect of its future business growth and development.

Given that the acquisition of the New Dongguan Site is to accommodate the additional assembly lines for the production of higher margin products as part of the Group’s expansion plan, we are of the opinion that the acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole in this regard.

Disposal of the Chengdu Property

According to the Transfer Agreement, the Group will dispose of its interest in CD Chengdu, which comprises CD Chengdu Shares and CD Chengdu’s Shareholder Loan, to Chuang’s China. It is noted that the main purpose of the transfer is to reduce the amount of cash consideration payable for the acquisition of the New Dongguan Site by the Company.

CD Chengdu is principally engaged in the leasing of the Chengdu Property, which is its sole investment property. The Chengdu Property is located at Level 6 of Chengdu Chuang’s Centre with a gross floor area of approximately 4,255 sq. m.. It is currently leased to an Independent Third Party for a term of 10 years commencing from 25 October 2002.

As discussed above in sub-section (i), one of the Group’s principal businesses is property investment. Therefore, the disposal of the Chengdu Property will be conducted in the Group’s ordinary and usual course of business.

Furthermore, the disposal of the Chengdu Property will reduce the Group’s cash outlay required for the acquisition of the New Dongguan Site and thereby allow the Group to retain more working capital for the ongoing development and expansion of its core business of printing, we consider that the settlement arrangement is in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(iii) Conclusion

In view of the foregoing, we are of the view that the Transfer is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of the Group’s business and in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM QUAM

A.1.2. The Consideration

The Transfer was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Chuang’s China. The New Dongguan Site and the Chengdu Property will be transferred at an agreed value of RMB38 million (equivalent to approximately HK$38.8 million) and RMB25 million (equivalent to HK$25.5 million) respectively. The difference of RMB13 million (equivalent to approximately HK$13.3 million), which arises from the exchange of the properties will be settled by the Company in cash on the Transfer Completion. This residual balance will be subject to minor adjustments based on the Completion Accounts.

It should be noted that the consideration for each of the New Dongguan Site and the Chengdu Property is based on its market value as at 31 March 2007 as appraised by the independent Valuer. We also noted that the Valuer adopted the direct comparison approach by reference to the comparable sales prices in the relevant market. Given the nature of the New Dongguan Site and the Chengdu Property, we consider that the valuation methodology adopted to be appropriate and in line with the prevailing market practice.

Based on the aforesaid, we consider that the consideration for each of the New Dongguan Site and the Chengdu Property is on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable; and is in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

A.1.3. Financial impacts of the Transfer on the Group

  • (i) Net asset value

The Chengdu Property will be transferred to Chuang’s China at an agreed value of RMB25 million (equivalent to HK$25.5 million). As the book value of the Chengdu Property was HK$25 million as at 31 December 2006, the Group will record a gain on disposal of the Chengdu Property of approximately HK$0.5 million, and therefore the net asset value of the Group will also increase by the same amount.

(ii) Working capital position

The consideration of the New Dongguan Site will be settled by the transfer of the Chengdu Property at an agreed value of RMB25 million (equivalent to HK$25.5 million) and the Cash Payment will be financed by the Company from its internal resources.

Based on the Company’s annual report of 2006, the Group had bank balances and cash of approximately HK$86.4 million and net current assets of approximately HK$163.2 million as at 31 December 2006. In addition, net cash inflow from operating activities was amounted to approximately HK$21.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2006.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM QUAM

Based on the historical financial results, we are of the view that the Cash Payment would not have any material adverse impact on the Group’s working capital position.

  • (iii) Rental income

Upon the Transfer Completion, the Group will forgo the future rental income to be generated from the Chengdu Property. The annual rental income of the Chengdu Property was HK$889,231 in 2006, representing about 0.1% of the Group’s turnover.

Based on the above, we are of the opinion that the absence of the aforementioned rental income will not be material in respect of the Group’s future financial position.

  • (iv) Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, we are of the view that the Transfer will not have any material adverse impact on the Group’s financial position.

A.2. RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons discussed above, in particular the followings (which should be read in conjunction with and interpreted in the full context of this letter):

  • the Group’s intended expansion strategy of manufacturing of higher margin products, in the face of the challenging operating environment of its core business of printing discussed herein, would be of benefits to the Group in respect of its future business growth and development;

  • the New Dongguan Site, an industrial site, is earmarked for the construction of new factory premises to accommodate additional assembly lines for the production of higher margin products in anticipation of the growth in demand of such products, as part of the Group’s expansion strategy;

  • the partial satisfaction of the consideration of the New Dongguan Site by way of transfer of the Company’s interest in CD Chengdu will minimise the Group’s cash outlay required for the acquisition; and thereby allow the Group to retain more working capital for the ongoing development and expansion of its core business of printing;

  • the consideration for each of the New Dongguan Site and the Chengdu Property is the same as their respective appraised value as at 31 March 2007 by the independent Valuer; and

  • the Transfer including the Cash Payment would not have any material adverse impact on the Group’s financial position as discussed above,

– 25 –

LETTER FROM QUAM

we are of the view that the Transfer is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, based on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Shareholders and the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Transfer.

B. THE SUBSCRIPTION

On 11 May 2007, the Company and CCIL entered into the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the Company conditionally agreed to issue and CCIL conditionally agreed to subscribe for the Convertible Note in the principal amount of HK$49.5 million.

As CCIL is the controlling Shareholder, the Subscription constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules.

B.1. PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

B.1.1. Reasons for and benefits of the Subscription

As stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the Directors consider that the issue of the Convertible Note will help to strengthen the Group’s working capital position and will facilitate its expansion programme, as mentioned in the sub-section A.1.1.(i) headed “The principal businesses and the expansion strategy of the Group” above.

The net cash proceeds from the issue of the Convertible Note of HK$49.5 million will inevitably increase cash balances of the Group; and hence, provide additional working capital for financing the implementation of the Group’s expansion plan, which is beneficial to its long-term development for reasons discussed in details in sub-section A.1.1.(ii) above, we consider that the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole in this regard.

Furthermore, it is normal for companies to raise new funding for business development and expansion periodically. As such, we are of the view that the issue of the Convertible Note and hence the Subscription are incidental to the ordinary and usual course of the Group’s business.

B.1.2. Principal terms of the Convertible Note

The Company will issue the Convertible Note at 100% of its principal amount of HK$49.5 million. The Maturity falls on the fourth anniversary from its date of issue. The Noteholder shall have the right to convert the whole or part of the principal amount of the Convertible Note into Shares at the Conversion Price any time on or before the Maturity. To

– 26 –

LETTER FROM QUAM

the extent not previously converted into Shares, the Company shall redeem the Convertible Note at the face value of the outstanding principal amount. As such, the yield-to-maturity of the Convertible Note is the same as its annual interest rate of 1.5% (the “ Interest Coupon ”).

(i) Market comparables

To assess the reasonableness and fairness of the terms of the Subscription, and in particular the Conversion Price and the Interest Coupon, we have reviewed all the issues of convertible bonds or notes with tenures between three to five years, announced by the companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange between 1 January 2007 and 10 May 2007 (the “ Comparables ”), a day preceding to the date of the Subscription Agreement. As one of the key factors for the determination of the conversion price of a convertible instrument is the tenure of the issue, we do not consider issues with tenures outside the aforesaid range appropriate for comparison purposes in relation to the issue of the Convertible Note, as its term is of four years only. Details of our analysis are set out in the following table:

Note: Except for the data on the yield-to-maturity of the Comparables, the above information is extracted from the announcement of the respective listed companies.

  • (ii) The Conversion Price

The initial Conversion Price of HK$0.45 per Conversion Share represents:

  • a premium of approximately 12.5% over the closing price of HK$0.4 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 10 May 2007, being the last trading day of the Shares prior to the suspension of trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange on 11 May 2007 pending the release of the announcement in respect of the Transfer and the Subscription;

  • a premium of approximately 16.3% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.387 per Share for the five consecutive trading days up to and including 10 May 2007 as quoted on the Stock Exchange; and

  • a premium of approximately 17.2% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.384 per Share for the 10 consecutive trading days up to and including 10 May 2007 as quoted on the Stock Exchange;

  • a premium of approximately 4.7% over the closing price of HK$0.43 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 29 May 2007, being the Latest Practicable Date; and

– 28 –

LETTER FROM QUAM

  • a premium of approximately 9.0% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.413 per Share for the 10 consecutive trading days up to and including 29 May 2007 as quoted on the Stock Exchange.

As illustrated in Table One above, the difference between the respective conversion prices of the Comparables and the then prevailing share prices of the relevant listed companies prior to the date of the announcement, ranges from a discount of up to 18% to a maximum premium of 35%. As the Conversion Price falls within this range and represents a premium to the then prevailing share prices of the Shares prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement and the Latest Practicable Date, we consider that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable in this regard.

(iii) The Interest Coupon

As discussed above, as the Convertible Note will be redeemable at its face value of the outstanding principal amount, its yield-to-maturity will be the same as the Interest Coupon of 1.5% per annum. As shown in Table One above, the respective yield-to-maturity of the Comparables ranges from nil to 9.2%. The Interest Coupon is within such range and is indeed at the lower end of the range.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the Interest Coupon is much lower than the effective interest rates of the Group’s bank loans of 4.62% to 6.12% per annum as at 31 December 2006. As such, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Subscription will provide the Group with a funding opportunity that would enhance the Group’s savings on its financing costs.

Based on the above, we consider the Interest Coupon to be fair and reasonable.

(iv) Other major terms of the Subscription Agreement

We have also reviewed the other major terms of the Subscription Agreement, the details of which are set out in the “Letter from the Board”, and are not aware of any terms which are exceptional to normal market practice.

(v) Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Subscription Agreement is based on normal commercial terms and the terms are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM QUAM

B.1.3. Financial impacts of the Subscription on the Group

(i) Working capital position

Upon the issue of the Convertible Note, the Company will receive net cash proceeds of around HK$49.5 million, which the Group intends to apply for its working capital purposes as discussed above. It should be noted that the Company is required to redeem the Convertible Note, only if the whole or the part of the Convertible Note is not converted into Shares upon Maturity.

Moreover, with the Interest Coupon of 1.5% per annum, the maximum annual interest expenses to be incurred by the Company in relation to the Convertible Note will be approximately HK$0.7 million, equivalent to about 2.8% of the Group’s profit before taxation of approximately HK$25.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2006. As discussed above, the Interest Coupon is much lower than the effective interest rates of the Group’s bank borrowings. Therefore, we are of view that the interest expenses to be incurred will not have any material adverse effect on the working capital position of the Group in this regard.

(ii) Gearing ratio

As at 31 December 2006, the gearing ratio of the Group was about 24.7% based on total debts of approximately HK$118.2 million and total equity of approximately HK$479.4 million. In the event that the Convertible Note is converted in full, the Group’s total equity will increase by its principal amount, whilst the total debts will remain the same, and accordingly, the gearing ratio of the Group will be improved.

A convertible note, being a compound financial instrument, is generally disclosed as both financial liability and equity components under Hong Kong accounting standards. If the Convertible Note was wholly recognised as a debt, the total debts of the Group would increase by HK$49.5 million whilst its total equity would remain the same, and therefore the gearing ratio would increase to about 35.0%. However, it should be noted that even under such scenario, the gearing ratio of the Group upon the issue of the Convertible Note would still be much lower than 100%, based on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2006.

Given the above, we consider that the issue of the Convertible Note will not have any material adverse impact on the Group’s gearing position.

(iii) Conclusion

In view of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the issue of the Convertible Note, and hence the Subscription, will not have any material adverse impact on the Group’s financial position in this regard.

B.1.4. Possible impacts on the shareholding structure of the Company

The following table shows the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, and that assumed full conversion of the Convertible Note (assuming that there is no change in the Company’s shareholding structure) for illustration purposes:

100.0
100.0

If the Convertible Note is converted in full at the initial Conversion Price, a total of 110,000,000 Conversion Shares will be issued, representing approximately 20.6% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 17.1% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Conversion Shares.

In the event that the Convertible Note is converted in full, the Company will become a 54.1% owned subsidiary of CCIL. It should be noted that it is stated in the “Letter from the Board” that the directors of CCIL have no intention to convert the Convertible Note to the extent that such conversion will trigger a general offer for all the securities of the Company under the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

Notwithstanding the above, the shareholding interests of the Independent Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 55.3% to 45.9% at the most, assumed full conversion of the Convertible Note. Given that the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as discussed above, we consider such dilution impact to be acceptable in this regard.

B.2. RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons discussed above, in particular the followings (which should be read in conjunction with and interpreted in the full context of this letter):

  • the Subscription will help to strengthen the Group’s working capital and provide the required funding for the implementation of the Group’s expansion strategy for its core business of printing as discussed in section A above;

– 31 –

LETTER FROM QUAM

  • the Conversion Price represents a premium to the then prevailing share prices of the Shares prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement and the Latest Practicable Date; and falls within the range of those of the Comparables;

  • the interest rate of the Convertible Note falls within the range of those of the Comparables and is much lower than the effective interest rates of the Group’s bank borrowings;

  • the issue of the Convertible Note will not have any material adverse impact on the Group’s working capital position and gearing ratio; and

  • the dilution effect of the shareholding interests of the Independent Shareholders is considered to be acceptable as discussed above,

we are of the view that the Subscription is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business, based on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Shareholders and the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Subscription.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Quam Capital Limited Karen C Wong Director

  3. In order to be valid, the form of proxy must be deposited at the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Rooms 1806-7, 18th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed, or a notarially certified copy of such power of attorney or authority, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

  5. Where there are joint registered holders of any share of the Company, any one of such holders may vote at the meeting either personally or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders are present at the meeting personally or by proxy, then the holder whose name stands first on the register of members of the Company in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof. Several executors or administrators of a deceased shareholder of the Company in whose name any share stands shall for this purpose be deemed joint holders thereof.
