operations. Turnover from wholesales and retail operations in the Greater China region increased

the Group had about 1,450 self-run and franchised stores/counters in mainland China at the end of

manufacturing business recorded stable volume growth. However, there is constant pressure from
rising labor costs and Yuan appreciation.

and has invested in a couple of projects over the last quarter,” said Mr. Tsai Chi Neng, Chairman of
