Annual General Meeting : 2008

Trading Update


Natsun Holdings Limited, (AIM:NTS), the integrated worsted fabric and garment producer, held its Annual General Meeting at Nanshan Industrial Park, Longkou, China earlier today. All resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed.


During the Annual General Meeting Mr. Song Jianbo, Natsun's Chairman, made the following comments: 


"The flotation of Natsun marks a leap in the Company's development as we evolve further as a global supplier of quality textiles. Our status as an AIM quoted company with improved corporate governance and financial controls has helped raise our profile with customers, suppliers and employees and our new worsted wool factory will make us one of the leading compact spinning fabric manufacturers in China. We have been able to market our brand name internationally, particularly in Europe, provide new funding capacity to expand the Company's production facilities, and to incentivise key employees through the introduction of share option plan. Our key focus will be to create greater value for our shareholders going forward.


"Although 2007 was a demanding year for us, particularly due to the increased wool prices, with the joint efforts of all staff, and the support of our customers, we met our financial targets. 


"As reported at the time of our full year results, announced in June, 2008, the current financial year continues to be demanding as the challenges faced in 2007 such as cost demands continue. Whilst management are striving to take measures to alleviate these pressures over the next few months the first half trading up to the end of June 2008 has been disappointing. The Company was loss making for the first 5 months of the financial year; however it expects to have fully reversed these losses during the month of June. The Board therefore expects the Company to achieve a breakeven position for the six month period ended June 2008.


"Natsun is due to announce its Interim results in September 2008. At this time the Board expects to provide a full update on current trading and full year expectations."
