1. Operational Highlights

1

2011 has been a very difficult year for the industry with intensified competition and heavy discounting

Tight monetary policies, slowing export orders, rising costs and labor shortages have made manufacturing in China increasingly difficult

Competition has intensified with major brands resorting to heavy discounting whilst smaller players have stepped up production. This is particularly acute in the apparel segment

Consumers are becoming more discerning in preferences and choice

Established players had to resort to short-term initiatives to maintain sales momentum

Outlook will become clearer in 2H 2012 as inventory levels fall

Margins will remain come under pressure but industry remains highly profitable if successfulConsolidation in the medium term will lead to a more disciplined market with major players emerging from the current difficulties even stronger

2

Strong same store sales for the best part of the year although momentum weakened considerably by 4Q

____________________(1) Same Store Sales (SSS) is determined by reference to stores which had been in operation for more than 24 months; (2) Channel inventory is derived from stock counts at quarter-end divided by average monthly sales in that quarter

Wholesale prices have increased by 400 basis points over the last eighteen months, reducing distributors' margins in a maturing market

Footwear has fared better than Apparel and will be the DNA of the brand

Higher ASPs are a result of both wholesale price adjustment as well as a favourable mix of higher quality products commanding higher retail prices

Footwear should outperform Apparel as the latter competes in a broader market
