FUTURE PLANS

At present, the Group operates at approximately 93.5% of its full production capacity. The Group intends to enhance its production capacity by hiring more workers and purchasing additional machinery for its production facilities in the PRC in anticipation to the increasing number of overseas orders following the accession of the PRC into the WTO. The Group also intends to enhance its production capacity of its production facilities in Cambodia to fully utilize the cheap and abundant labour force these.

The Group plans to automate part of the production processes such as cutting and packing in order to shorten the production time and to improve the quality of its products. The Directors believe that investment in new production technologies is crucial to the Group';s future development as these technologies can always give the Group a competitive edge over its counterparts and improve the overall production efficiency.

The Group plans to develop new business of retail operation and explore the new market opportunity in the PRC by investing in Blue Cat Development. Blue Cat Development is a company incorporated in BVI which limited liability on 28th November 2001 in which Blue Cat Enterprises, Sure Profit Trading Ltd, and three independent third parties hold 5%, 51% and 44% equity interest respectively.

The Group is considering the feasibility of setting up its own production facilities to print and dye fabric for its own consumption, although the Directors do not have any concrete plan at the moment. The Directors consider such vertical integration beneficial to the Group';s future development by reduction not only its overall production costs, but also its reliance on its suppliers and subcontractors.
