• 评估所检查的业务流程运作是否有效率和有效地进行;和 • 如果有必要的话,确定和建议内部控制程序的改进。 对于内控审计事宜,内控审计师直接向审计委员会主席报告;对于行政事宜,内控审计师将直接向管理层报告。 审计委员会每年至少一次在管理层不出席的情况下与内部审计师会晤。 33 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY 企业治理报告 (续) 审计委员会已经审查了集团的内部控制评估。参考内审和外审的报告以及目前的内控情况,审计委员会对集团内部控制的不断改 进表示满意。 为了保证内控审计职能的恰当性, 审计委员会将每年对内部审计计划进行审批。 与股东的沟通 原则 14 : 原则 15 : 与股东的沟通 增加股东参与程度 董事局应有义务不忘通知股东所有根据新加坡证券交易所上市准则影响集团的所有重大发展。 董事局很重视同投资者的关系。公司力争维持一个高水平的透明度和促进同投资者的交流。 通过以下方式按时向股东提供信息: • 在法定期限内准备和提供年度报告给所有的股东;

On behalf of the Board of Directors SHAO KESHENG SHAO DAJUN Director Director Singapore 22 June 2010 40 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CMZ HOLDINGS LTD. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CMZ Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) set out on pages 42 to 90, which comprise the balance sheets of the Company and of the Group as at 31 March 2010, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: (a) devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets; (b) selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and (c) making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditors’ responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 41 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CMZ HOLDINGS LTD.

GENERAL INFORMATION CMZ Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) is a limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Singapore. The address of the Company’s registered office is 112 Robinson Road, #12-04, Singapore 068902. The address of its principal place of business is Yixing Economic Development Zone, Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company’s immediate and ultimate holding company is Allied Sincere Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The principal activity of the Company is that of investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) and the balance sheet of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2010 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 22 June 2010. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below and are drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50 and the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to exercise its judgements, in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial year. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions used that are significant to the financial statements and areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are disclosed in this Note. 49 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Adoption of new and revised standards On 1 April 2009, the Group adopted the new or amended FRS and Interpretations of FRS (“INT FRS”) that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective FRS and INT FRS. The following are the new or revised FRS and INT FRS that are relevant to the Group: (a) FRS 1 (revised) Presentation of financial statements The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, “non-owner changes in equity”) in the statement of changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity are shown in a performance statement but entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the “statement of comprehensive income”) or two statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive income). The Group has chosen to adopt the former alternative. In addition, where comparative information is restated or reclassified, a restated balance sheet is required to be presented as at the beginning comparative period. There is no restatement of the balance sheet as at 1 April 2008 in the current financial year. (b) Amendments to FRS 107 Improving disclosures about financial statements The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of a fair value measurement hierarchy (Note 33). The adoption of the amendment results in additional disclosures but does not have an impact on the accounting policies and measurement bases adopted by the Group. (c) FRS 108 Operating segments This replaces FRS 14 Segment Reporting and requires a “management approach” under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. FRS 108 requires disclosure of information about the Group’s operating segments and replaces the requirement to determine primary and secondary reporting segments of the Group. The management does not allocate resources and assess performance by operating segments as the Group’s major business comprises of the production and sale of zippers and sewing threads, principally attributable to a single geographical region, which is the PRC. Accordingly, there is no impact on the financial statements upon the adoption of FRS 108. 50 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) New accounting standards and FRS interpretations Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published as at balance sheet date and are mandatory for the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2010 or later periods and which the Group has not early adopted.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated. The acquisition of a subsidiary is accounted for using the purchase method. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost of business combination is measured at the aggregate of fair values at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. At the acquisition date, the cost of business combination is allocated to identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities in the business combination which are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Adjustments to the fair values of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities relating to previously held interests of the Group is accounted for as a revaluation and recognised in equity. Any excess of the cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquired subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recognised as goodwill on the balance sheet. Any excess of the Group’s share in the net fair value of the acquired subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the business combination is recognised as income in the profit or loss on the date of acquisition. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Group and de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases. The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary, which is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of its net assets as of the date of disposal including the carrying amount of goodwill and the cumulative amount of any exchange difference that relate to the subsidiary, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less any impairment in net recoverable value that has been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries the differences between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investments is taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Subsidiaries A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group, directly or indirectly, holds more than half of the issued share capital, or controls more than half of the voting power, or controls the composition of the board of directors. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. 52 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Property, plant and equipment All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of the asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. Construction in progress includes all cost of construction and other direct costs. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when complete and ready to use. Construction in progress is not depreciated. All other items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method to write-off the cost of the assets less estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives and residual values have been taken as follows: - Estimated useful lives (Years) Estimated residual values as a percentage of cost Leasehold buildings 20 5 - 10% Plant and machinery 10 5 - 10% Office equipment 2-5 5 - 10% 5 5 - 10% Motor vehicles Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use. The residual value, estimated useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amounts of the asset and is recognised in the profit or loss within other income (expenses) and the revaluation reserve related to those asset, if any, is transferred directly to retained earnings. 53 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Land use rights Leases of land under which the lessor has not transferred all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as operating leases. Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Impairment of non-financial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the asset’s value in use and the asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely dependent on those from other assets. In determining value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case, the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation. An assessment is made at each balance sheet date of whether there is any indication of impairment of any asset, or whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognised for an asset in prior years may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of an asset since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. This increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in the profit and loss unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Financial assets Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. 54 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Financial assets (continued) All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date basis where the purchase or sale of financial assets are under a contract whose terms require delivery of the assets within the timeframe established by the market concerned. A. Classification The Group classifies its investments in financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date, with the exception that the designation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not revocable. As at 31 March 2010, the Group held financial assets in the categories of loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments. (i) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except those maturing more than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are presented as trade and other receivables on the balance sheet. (ii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale. They are presented as non-current assets, except those maturing within 12 months after the balance sheet date which are presented as current assets. The Group’s held-to-maturity investments include investment in fixed interest unit trust. B. Subsequent measurement At subsequent reporting dates, loan and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and recognised the impairment loss when such evidence exists. 55 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Impairment of financial assets (continued) (i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written off against the carrying value of the financial asset. To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Raw materials comprise purchase costs accounted for on a weighted average basis or first-in first-out basis. Work-in-progress and finished goods comprise cost of direct materials, direct labour and an attributable proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. These costs are assigned on a weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to be incurred for selling and distribution. Related parties Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party, or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. Cash and bank balances Cash and bank balances are carried at fair value. For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and bank balances comprises cash on hand and in banks, including fixed deposits with maturity of more than three months. 56 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities within the scope of FRS 39 are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, plus, in the case of financial liabilities other than derivatives, directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value. Other financial liabilities (except for financial guarantee) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For financial liabilities other than derivatives, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another financial liability from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the profit or loss. Provisions A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed regularly at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Share capital and treasury shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against share capital. When ordinary shares are reacquired (“treasury shares”), the amount of consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs is recognised directly in equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are subsequently cancelled, the cost of the treasury shares are deducted against the share capital account if the shares are purchased out of capital, or against the revenue reserve, if the shares are purchased out of earnings of the Company. Dividends Interim dividends are recorded in the financial year in which they are declared payable. Final dividends are recorded in the financial year in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders. 57 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised: Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the effective interest rates applicable. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Rental income from investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Government grants Government grant shall be recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Grants related to income may be presented as a credit in profit or loss, either separately or under a general heading such as “Other income”. Alternatively, they are deducted in reporting the related expenses. Operating lease Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Employees’ benefits (i) Retirement benefits The Group participates in the national schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. Singapore The Company makes contribution to the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Scheme in Singapore, a defined contribution pension scheme. PRC The subsidiary, CMZ Zipper (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. incorporated and operating in the PRC, is required to provide certain retirement plan contribution to their employees under existing PRC regulations. Contributions are provided at rates stipulated by the PRC regulations and are managed by government agencies, which are responsible for administering these amounts for the subsidiary’s employees. 58 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2.

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed. (ii) Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date. Income tax Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. (i) Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the financial year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are not taxable or tax deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted in the country where the subsidiaries operate by the balance sheet date. (ii) Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset realised based on the tax rate and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the statement of comprehensive income, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. 59 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Income tax (continued) (ii) Deferred tax (continued) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. (iii) Value-added-tax (“VAT”) The Group’s sales of goods in the PRC are subjected to VAT at the applicable tax rate of 17% for PRC domestic sales. Input tax on purchases can be deducted from output VAT. The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included as part of “Trade receivables” or “Trade payables” in the balance sheet. The Group’s export sales are not subject to VAT. Functional and foreign currencies Functional currency and presentation currency The individual financial statements of each entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The consolidated financial statements of the Group and the balance sheet of the Company are presented in RMB dollars, which is the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) as indicated. Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to profit or loss of the Group on disposal of the foreign operation. Translation of the Group’s financial statements The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and their statement of comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the profit or loss. 60 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Translation of the Group’s financial statements (continued) On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entity (including monetary items that, in substance, form part of the net investment in foreign entity), are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Segment information Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the management whose members are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The management does not allocate resources and assess performance by operating segment as the Group’s major business comprises of the manufacturing and sale of zippers and sewing threads is attributable to a single geographical region, which is the PRC. Accordingly, no separate analysis of segment information is presented. Critical accounting estimates and judgments Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. (i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. (a) Depreciation of plant and machinery The cost of plant and machinery used for the manufacture of zippers is depreciated on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Management estimates the useful lives of the production lines to be 10 years. The net carrying amount of the Group’s plant and machinery as at 31 March 2010 is approximately RMB31,440,000 (2009: RMB30,551,000). Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and residual values of these plant and machinery. Therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised. (b) Depreciation of leasehold buildings The cost of construction of buildings is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 20 years. The net carrying amount of the Group’s leasehold buildings as at 31 March 2010 is approximately RMB38,941,000 (2009: RMB35,308,000). Changes in the physical condition of the buildings could impact the economic useful life and residual value of the asset. As at 31 March 2010, there are no indications that the remaining economic useful life of these leasehold buildings is significantly lower than the remaining useful life. 61 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued) (i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued) (c) Net realisable value of inventories Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. These estimates are based on current market condition and the historical experience of selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of competitors’ actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management reassesses the estimations at end of each financial year. The carrying amount of the Group’s inventories is disclosed in Note 13. (d) Impairment of trade receivables Impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables. An assessment is made at each balance sheet date of whether there is any indication of impairment of any asset, or whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognised for an asset in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. Where the actual results differ from the amounts that were initially assessed, such differences will result in material adjustment to the carrying amounts within the next financial year. The carrying amount of the Group’s trade receivables is disclosed in Note 14. (ii) Critical judgment in applying the entity’s accounting policies The following are the judgments made by the management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Held-to-maturity financial asset The Group follows the guidance of FRS 39 in classifying non-derivative financial asset with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity. This classification requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investment to maturity. If the Group fails to keep the investment to maturity other than for specific circumstances explained in FRS 39, it will be required to reclassify the entire held-to-maturity financial asset as available-for-sale. The investments will be required to be measured at fair value instead of at amortised cost upon reclassification. If such reclassification is required, the carrying amount of financial assets would increase by approximately RMB2,880,000 (2009: RMB2,070,000), with a corresponding increase in the fair value reserve within equity. 62 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 3.

(a) In accordance with the “Law of the PRC on Enterprise Operated Exclusively with Foreign Capital” and the subsidiary’s Articles of Association, the subsidiary, CMZ Zipper (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise must make appropriation to a statutory reserve fund (“SRF”). At least 10% of the statutory after tax profits as determined in accordance with the applicable PRC accounting standards and regulations must be allocated to the SRF. If the cumulative total of the SRF reaches 50% of an enterprise’s registered capital, the enterprise will not be required to make any further appropriation. (b) The PRC subsidiary, CMZ Zipper (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., has appropriated 5% of its profit after tax to the statutory staff welfare reserve fund on a voluntary basis as allowed by its respective Articles of Association. The statutory staff welfare reserve fund would be used for the collective welfare of the employees. The total statutory reserves may be used to offset accumulated losses or increase the registered capital of the company, subjected to approval from the relevant PRC authorities and is not available for dividend distribution to shareholders. The PRC enterprise is prohibited from distributed dividends unless the losses (if any) of previous years have been made good. 6.

Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses including the servicing of financial obligations. The following tables detail the remaining contractual maturity for non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group and Company can be required to pay.

For trade receivables, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with customers of appropriate credit history, and obtaining sufficient security where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. For other financial assets, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with high credit quality counterparties. Credit exposure to an individual counterparty is restricted by credit limits that are approved by the Board of Directors based on ongoing credit evaluation. The counterparty’s payment profile and credit exposure are continuously monitored at the entity level by the respective management and at the Group level by the Board of Directors. As the Group and Company does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk for each class of financial instruments is the carrying amount of that class of financial instruments presented on the balance sheet. The carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk. The Group’s and Company’s major classes of financial assets are cash and bank balances, trade receivables and amounts due from subsidiaries. Cash and bank balances are placed with reputable local financial institutions.Therefore, credit risk arises mainly from the inability of its customers to make payments when due. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for impairment of receivables, estimated by management based on prior experience and the current economic environment. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Group’s large number of customers. Management believes that there is no anticipated additional credit risk beyond the amount of allowance for impairment made in the Group’s trade receivables. The trade receivables arise mainly from companies incorporated in the People’s Republic of China. 89 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2010 Amounts in thousands of Chinese Renminbi (¨RMB¨), unless otherwise stated (continued) 33 FINANICIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) (c) Credit risk (continued) The age analysis of trade receivables is as follows: Group 2010 2009 RMB’000 RMB’000 30,255 23,059 - Past due 0 to 3 months 8,338 5,109 - Past due 3 to 6 months 4,664 2,837 579 670 13,581 8,616 827 1,171 (827) (1,171) Not past due and not impaired Past due but not impaired - Past due over 6 months Impaired trade receivables Less: Allowance for impairment loss 43,836 31,675 The movement in allowance for impairment loss is as follows: Group Balance at beginning of the year (Write back ) Allowance made during the year Balance at end of the year 2010 2009 RMB’000 RMB’000 1,171 645 (344) 827 526 1,171 The Group has provided fully for all receivables over 270 days because historical experience is such that receivables that are past due beyond 270 days are generally not recoverable.

The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and bank balances and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital and reserves as disclosed in Notes 3 to 8. The Board of Directors reviews the capital structure on an annual basis. As part of this review, the Board of Directors considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debts. 34. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On 22 February 2010, the Company announced a capital reduction exercise pursuant to the Singapore Companies Act and was approved by the High Court on 11 May 2010. In connection with the capital reduction exercise, the Company made a cash distribution of approximately S$8.9 million (RMB43.5 million), equivalent to S$0.03 per paidup ordinary share to the shareholders of the Company. Upon payment of the cash distribution on the payment date on 14 June 2010, the share capital of the Company was reduced by approximately S$8.9 million (RMB43.5 million). There are no changes in the total number of issued shares of the Company after the payment of cash distribution. 91 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY STATISTIC OF SHAREHOLDINGS 股权持有统计资料 SHAREHOLDERS’ INFORMATION AS AT 18 JUNE 2010 截止2010年6月18日股东资料 Class of shares : Ordinary share 股票类级 : 普通股 Voting rights excluding treasury shares : One vote per share 投票权 (不包括已回购的股票) : 每股一投票权 No. of issued shares 已发行股票总数 : 304,652,000 No. of issued shares excluding treasury shares : 297,836,000 : 6,816,000 (2.28%) 已发行股票总数(不包括已回购的股票) No. / Percentage of treasury shares 已回购的股票总数(百分比) STATISTIC OF SHAREHOLDINGS AS AT 18 JUNE 2010 截止2010年6月18日股权持有统计资料 Size of Shareholding 股权比例分类 1 - 999 Number of Shareholders 股东人数 Number of Shares 持有股票数量 % - - % - - 1,000 - 10,000 369 58.02 1,583,628 0.53 10,001 - 1,000,000 260 40.88 20,443,752 6.86 1,000,001 - and above 7 1.10 275,808,620 92.61 636 100.00 297,836,000 100.00 92 CMZ 2010 ANNUAL DISPLAY STATI STIC OF SHAREHOLDINGS 股权持有统计资料 (continued) TWENTY LARGEST SHAREHOLDERS AS AT 18 JUNE 2010 截止2010年6月18日持股量最大的首二十名股东 No. 秩序 Name of Shareholders 股东名字 Number of Shares 持有股票数量 1.
