GCPC / 2011 Final Results


SINGAPORE/HUIZHOU, 2 May, 2012: GCPC (ISIN SG9999005052 / WKN A0MZS3 /
Ticker 49G) publishes final report of 2011 and outlook for 2012.

GCPC achieved a 93.3% increase in sales from RMB 305.1 Mio. in 2010 to RMB
589.6 Mio in 2011. The increase was mainly attributed to a new customer
with an international brand which contributed significantly to the total
sales of the tablet casings segment.

Gross profit and gross profit margin were RMB 160.9 Mio. (2010: RMB 65.9
Mio.) and 27.3% (2010: 21.6%)respectively. The increase in gross profit
margin was mainly attributed to the contribution from the high end product
offerings, which command better gross margin that formed a higher
percentage of the total sales in 2011.

In 2011, net profit for the year achieved a 82.8% increase to RMB 60.4 Mio
compared to RMB 33.0 Mio in 2010. The increase is in line with the good
sales performance of the tablet casings segment.

GCPC reported a Basic EPS of RMB 2.33 (2010: RMB 1.26).

The Board of GCPC recommends to pay a final dividend of RMB 0.38 per share
(before withholding tax where applicable) for FY 2011.

Outlook

GCPC's strategy to change its product mix by focusing more on high end
products has yielded good results and that was reflected in the higher
gross profit margin achieved in 2011. GCPC will continue with this strategy
in 2012.In this regard, GCPC intends to increase the capital expenditure
accordingly.

However, intense competition within the handset industry is expected to
continue to put pressures on our average selling prices. Additionally,
rising labor costs is expected to pose challenges to GCPC.

GCPC will continue to pursue more international handset vendors by
establishing direct working relationships with them.

In view of all the above and despite the uncertain global economic outlook,
GCPC is cautiously optimistic that the revenue and net profit for 2012
could still achieve good growth compared with 2011.
