HK$105.5 million from approximately HK$571.3<br />

million as at 31 December 2010 to approximately<br />

HK$676.8 million as at 31 December <strong>2011</strong>,<br />

primarily due to (i) reserve procurement of raw<br />

materials by the Group when prices were lower at<br />

the end of <strong>2011</strong>; (ii) the increase in inventories of<br />

moulds as a result of the investment in and<br />

development of moulds by the Group in <strong>2011</strong> for<br />

strengthening its OPM model; (iii) the reserve of<br />

inventories for the Spring Festival and postfestival<br />

wholesales fair in different provinces.<br />

Contingent Liabilities<br />

material contingent liabilities.<br />

Exchange Rate Fluctuations<br />

Our sales are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars<br />

and Renminbi. Our cost of sales and operating<br />

expenses are mainly denominated in Renminbi.<br />

Approximately 74.6% of our revenue for the year<br />

ended 31 December <strong>2011</strong> was denominated in U.S.<br />

dollars. Renminbi appreciated approximately 5.1%<br />

against the U.S. dollars for the year ended 31<br />

December <strong>2011</strong>. Our profit margins will be<br />

adversely affected if we were unable to increase<br />

the U.S.-dollar selling prices of the products we<br />

sold to our overseas customers for offsetting any<br />

appreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollars.<br />

During the year ended 31 December <strong>2011</strong>, the<br />

Group entered into forward exchange contracts<br />

denominated in U.S. dollars in order to manage its<br />

risk exposure.
