The net proceeds were about HK$13,440,000 and utilized HK$4,800,000 for repayment of loan on 25 October 2004 and further HK$5,200,000 for repayment of loan in early April 2005 and the remaining proceeds were used for purchase of raw materials for daily operation.

As the directors understood that the interest cost at the rate of 10% per annum for the loan is very high, so an early repayment of loan can enable the Company to improve the profitability of the Group. The Board considers that the market interest rate will further increase in the coming month and deteriorate to the Group's profit seriously. So the Subscription can enable the Group to reduce of its existing loans, broaden the capital base and strengthen its financial position of the Company. It is estimated that the estimated expenses for the Placing and Subscription are approximately HK$0.28 million. The net proceeds from the Subscription will amount to approximately HK$27 million after expenses of commission and Stock Exchange trading fee and stamp duty. The Company currently intends to apply approximately HK$25 million for partial repayment of the Group's existing loans and borrowings of approximately HK$109 million in aggregate as at 30 September 2004, and the remaining proceeds will be used as general working capital for the Group.
