Chairman, said:



"2007 was a successful year for FoaMasters during which the Group continued
to demonstrate strong growth across all business divisions. Significantly, we
secured a foothold in the North-Eastern Chinese markets which now gives us a
platform to expand in that region focusing more on discerning Chinese domestic
customers. The successful IPO and admission to AIM is in itself a major
milestone in the transformation of the Group. FoaMasters remains confident that

Chairman's Statement



Market & Achievements



2007 was a landmark year for FoaMasters during which the Group continued to
demonstrate strong growth and completed a successful IPO and admission to AIM.
Revenue and profits after tax grew more than 42% and 44% respectively despite
some challenging operating conditions in the second half of the year. Growth, in
the face of these challenges, was achieved through a number of factors including
deeper market penetration in China, diversity of product offering and improved
management resources and methods. Our list of branded customers increased during
the year and we also successfully introduced "green" foam into our
manufacturing process.



The sector continues to benefit from the relocation of manufacturing to China
from the USA and Europe. In addition, the growing affluence of the Chinese
people means the domestic market itself is becoming increasingly important for
higher quality product manufacturers such as FoaMasters.



The IPO and admission to AIM was a major milestone in the transformation of the
Group from a family run business to a truly international company. The admission
not only provides access to international capital markets, but also raises the
profile of the Group as a leader in the flexible polyurethane ("PU") foam
industry in China, and indeed the whole Asian region.



Strategy Ahead



We will continue to pursue our de-centralised manufacturing strategy to serve
our customers better, and will seek to strengthen our presence in the
north-eastern Chinese market. FoaMasters will also continue to invest in R&D and
enter new product segments. By introducing the "recycled" foam, we want to
appeal to a group of customers who are more environmentally conscious and we
will aggressively pursue this line of development in 2008. In addition, we will
focus on improving margins, and to this end, we will dedicate more resources to
the finished goods segment for both the export and Chinese domestic markets and
start marketing our self-branded bedding products.



Finally, although we plan to generate growth organically, we will assess
acquisition and investment opportunities that complement our existing core
business and skills and that will help us achieve our longer term objectives.



Board & Employees



FoaMasters assembled a new board prior to its IPO in December 2007 comprising an
industry specialist, corporate financiers and seasoned AIM senior finance
executives to complement the three senior executives who have been the key
drivers of the business over the last few years. This is the board that will
steer the Group going forward.



On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all our dedicated staff whose
devotion, efforts and hard-work have contributed to the success of this landmark
year, and last but not least, our customers, suppliers, business associates and
shareholders for their continuous support.



Outlook



Whilst 2007 was a great year for many businesses in Asia, the mortgage and
credit crunch crises unravelling in the second half of 2007 have brought about a
degree of uncertainty in some of our markets particularly in the West. However,
the Board remains confident that 2008 will be a period of further growth for the
Group.

CEO & Deputy CEO's Business Review



It is our pleasure to present the maiden preliminary results of the FoaMasters
Group for the year ended 31 December 2007 during which the Group maintained its
leading position in the flexible polyurethane foam industry in China.



Industry Review



In 2007 volatile raw material prices, tighter industrial regulation and
increasing costs in China resulted in new challenges for the flexible
polyurethane industry. The macro economic slowdown due to the US subprime issues
and rising oil prices dampened China's export market towards the end of the
year. These challenges have adversely affected many smaller players in the
industry who, unlike FoaMasters, do not enjoy economies of scale. FoaMasters has
benefited from this by taking over their market shares. The Group has further
mitigated the situation through the growth achieved from the domestic markets in
China.



Our established customer base showed an increased inclination to shift their
plant expansion into Asian countries such as China and Vietnam and FoaMasters
continues to benefit from this increasing migration.



In 2008, more management measures on operational efficiency and new product
launches will be introduced to meet the challenges facing the industry in order
to sustain our growth and maintain our leading market position.



Financial Results



The Group recorded strong growth for the third consecutive year with turnover of
US$102.6 million, an increase of 42% over the previous year. Substantial growth
was derived from the first full year operation of InnoTech, the Group's new
plant in Anji, in the northeast of China, as well as from export growth in its
bedding product division. At the same time, our domestic China sales continued
to increase at a growth rate that is ahead of the Group as a whole, although
strong growth was also recorded in the remaining plants.



In addition, operating profit increased by 41% and profit after tax improved by
44%, these reflect the improved efficiencies of the Group's operations. The
Group also benefited from volume discounts in purchase agreements negotiated as
the Group expanded, as well as several cost saving measures to reduce labour
cost.






Production Capacity



FoaMasters has been capitalizing on the scaled economies of its raw materials by
growing organically with the introduction of a new plant annually since 2004.
The annual production output for the Group in 2007 was c. 36,000 metric tonnes.
This is a 38% increase on 2006.



Raw foam production output growth was 36%, and finished bedding products growth
was 49%.  This growth was achieved through the re-engineering of our production
and machine design, which increased the efficiency of our production lines.
With "Just-In-Time" manufacturing and deliveries, we were able to compete and
create more values for our customers, capturing more of the market share in
existing and new markets.



With the expansion of the FoamTech plant in the Jiashan County, which targets
the sofa and office chair industries in that region, another 6,000-9,000 metric
tonnes have been added to the Group's annual production capacity.



As a further strategic move, the Group also started to shift its bedding
production facilities from our plant in Zhuhai, to a newer and much larger state
of the art plant in Heshan. The Heshan plant has an increased production
capacity of between 12,000-15,000 metric tonnes annually. This will provide
ample room for expansion of our bedding products, targeted at both the export
and domestic markets.



Product R&D



FoaMasters secured an exclusive technology license from Mobius Technology Inc,
(based in California) for its recycled foam powder for China and Vietnam and in
November 2007, the Group commissioned its first recycled foam powder production
facility in Heshan, China. We have already developed new products such as the
EnviroMasters(TM) range of green foam using the Mobius recycled foam powder. The
Group expects that this will be well received by customers in more
environmentally conscious countries. This technology also opens up avenues for
new applications using finely granulized scrap foam powder, such as shoes inner
soles.



Combining the EnviroMaster(TM) foam with the new bamboo fibre fabric recently
launched, our designers have developed a new Evergreen(TM) series of mattresses
that are eco-friendly. This series of mattresses will be launched at trade shows
throughout 2008. We have also been awarded two patents for a mattress packaging
case and pillow design, which demonstrates the design ability and creativity of
our R&D team.



Our engineers at McGenic, our own PU machine making subsidiary, have created and
implemented new machine designs, saving 1-2% in top skin wastages. A pre-mixer
for improved silicone mixing has also led to improved cell structure in our
foam.  The team has also designed and built a horizontal blade contour cutting
machine that produces dust free contoured foam products. This is a marked
improvement on previous fast wire contour cutting machines.



The Group is also looking out for new developments such as non petroleum-based
polyol derived from renewable feedstocks such as palm oil, soya bean oil and
others.  The Group will continue to study and explore the latest technological
breakthroughs in the polyurethane industry to maintain its market leading
position in its product offerings.



Awards & Accreditations



In June 2007, FoaMasters received its accreditation from SATRA for its
laboratory testing procedures, becoming the first polyurethane foam factory in
the world to be accredited by SATRA. This is a strong endorsement of our
commitment to quality, giving confidence to our customers and helping to improve
sale orders. This in-house ability also greatly reduced our testing costs which
would otherwise have been incurred by external testing.



FoaMasters was also awarded ISO14001 accreditation in 2007 for environmental
management standards in two of its plants, with the remaining plants in the
final stages of accreditation. We believe that FoaMasters is the first foam
factory in China to achieve such an award and this is in line with the
increasingly stringent industrial and environmental controls being implemented
in China.



Human Resources



In anticipation of the new labour law that took effect in January 2008, the
Group has put in place process re-engineering, automation and employee
piece-rate salary schemes. These measures have improved the efficiencies of the
Group's business by 22% and reduced the total manpower requirement,
offsetting some of the potential impact of increasing labour costs in China.



The total number of staff employed on a Group level increased by c. 12% from
1,539 in 2006 to 1,719 in 2007. However average labour force per factory dropped
by 10% as a result of cost saving measures taken by the Group.



FoaMasters has always been focused on human resources, with a yearly intake of
20-30 graduates to keep pace with the ongoing group expansion, and departmental
heads receiving continuous internal and periodic external training.



Our Group policy is to recruit externally for top level management, hereby
benefiting from diverse industry experience.



The Group places strong emphasis on the quality of its team, which is reflected
in the overall achievements in 2007.



Funding



The Group restructured its financing facilities in mid 2007 and secured loan/
trade re-financing of c. US$31 million. The increase in trade lines facilitates
the purchase of higher volume of raw materials as well as aiding to fuel the
growth and expansion of our plants.



Market Expansion and Strategy



In line with its strategy, the Group continued to grow organically with the
commissioning of its newest plant in Jiashan, China, in December 2007.  This
marked a further geographical expansion of the Group into the north-east of
China where another new plant has been earmarked. With the opening up of the
Vietnamese market and the continuing flow of investments, the Group intends to
expand its operations in Vietnam.



With the growing affluence of the Chinese populace leading to higher demand of
better quality foam products, the Group is exploring new markets and looking to
increase its market share in the China domestic foam market. There are plans to
further increase our presence in the domestic foam products market with our own
labelled brand S'Fonia(TM) and through the finished goods division. We are in
the process of setting up a dedicated bedding product marketing team to further
consolidate our market presence with the S'Fonia(TM)products.



To take advantage of the high-margin, high growth medical market, FoaMasters has
also expanded into health-care therapeutic bedding products with its series of
memory foams. With the Mobius scrap foam recycling technique, we have also
started marketing such environmental products under the trade name
EnviroMastersTM, which has been well received by key customers like True
Seatings and Primo.



In Summary



We are confident that we are progressing and expanding in the right direction.
We will continue to innovate and adapt to maintain our leading position in the
PU industry in China.


On behalf of the Board of Directors and Management, we would like to thank our
business associates for their trust and confidence in us. We also wish to
express our appreciation for our dedicated and committed team at FoaMasters,
which has made 2007 a successful year.

Hong Kong Profits Tax has been provided at a rate of 17.5% on the estimated
assessable profit for the year ended 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2007.



The tax charge on profits assessable elsewhere has been calculated at the rates
of tax prevailing in the countries, in which the Group operates, based on
existing legislation, interpretation and practices in respect thereof.



Pursuant to relevant laws and regulations in the China, the China incorporated
subsidiaries of the Group are exempt from China enterprise income tax for the
two years from their first profit-making year and, for a further three years,
entitled to a 50% relief from China enterprise income tax.  First Asia
Polyurethane Products Co. Ltd. and InnoTech Polyurethane Foam (Zhejiang) Co. Ltd
were in their first profit-making year during the year ended 31 December 2007.
Therefore, these two subsidiaries were exempt from enterprise income tax for
this period.



The reconciliation between the income tax expense and the product of profit
before tax multiplied by the tax applicable to the principal operating
subsidiaries is as follows:

The new China enterprise income tax law passed by the Tenth National People's
Congress on 16 March 2007 introduces various changes which include the
unification of the enterprise income tax rate for domestic and foreign
enterprises at 25%.  The new tax law will be effective from 1 January 2008.  The
impact of the new tax law on the Group's Financial Information will depend on
the detailed implementation rules and regulations that have not been issued as
of the date of this Financial Information.  Therefore, the Group cannot
reasonably estimate the financial impact of the new tax law to the Group at this
stage.
