The unaudited financial results of the Group for the 4Q2011 is expected to report materially lower
revenue and a loss before taxation as compared to 4Q2010. The lower revenue was due mainly to
the decrease in demand for our fabric processing services by our customers. This slowdown in
demand started in May 2011 (as per our commentary in note 10 in our Second Quarter and Half Year Financial Statements and Dividend Announcement for the period ended 30 June 2011) and further deepened during 3Q2011/4Q2011 as compared to previous quarters.
There was also an increase in provision for staff related costs. The higher staff related costs relates to additional provision for housing fund and social security contributions required by the national labour laws and regulations.
In addition, the Group also provided an impairment expense of RMB8.9 million for past construction in- progress.
