REVISED PERFORMANCE REVIEW FOR FIRST HALF RESULTS

The Group's turnover for the six months ended 30 June 2000 was $142.26 million, which shows an increase of S$117.79 million as compared to $24.47 million in the first half of 1999. 86% of the Group's turnover was contributed by Nippecraft's new trading subsidiary, namely Collins Office Product International Trading Limited ("COPI"), which is engaged in the trading of paper stationery.

COPI was incorporated in March 1999 and commenced its operations in July 1999. Turnover of COPI for the six months ended 30 June 2000 amounted to $120 million. Group turnover for the first half of 2000 excluding COPI (hereinafter known as "Original Business") was $21.8 million as compared to S$24.27 million for the previous half year ended 30 June 1999. The decline in the turnover for Original Business was due mainly to a delay in delivery of certain OEM products to the customers in USA and currencies conversion of Australian dollars and Sterling Pound.

Consolidated operating profit before income tax, minority interests, extraordinary items, interest on borrowings, depreciation and amortisation, foreign exchange loss and exceptional items for the first half of 2000 increased by 144.5% to $3.19 million as compared to the corresponding period of 1999. The improvement in the Group's operating profit was attributed to the contributions made by COPI and management's continuous effort in cost control. The operating profit contributed by COPI was $1.95 million whilst that from the Original Business was S$1.24 million, a decline from S$1.3 million in the same period last year.

Due to the accelerated depreciation on certain machinery components, the depreciation and amortisation charges increased by 16.6% as compared to the same period last year.

The foreign exchange loss of $924,000 is trading in nature and is due to the weakening of the Australian and European currencies. $663,000 of the total foreign exchange loss is unrealised of which the Original Business of the Company accounted for $528,000 while COPI accounted for $135,000. Forward selling of foreign currencies has been on short-term basis due to the high level of fluctuation in rates. Therefore the Group is looking into borrowings in foreign currencies and long term hedging policy to reduce its foreign exchange exposure.

The Group's Operating loss after tax and extraordinary items attributable to members for the first half year ended 30 June 2000 is $258,000 compared to a loss of $1.2 million in the equivalent period last year. The results of the Group for 30 June 2000 could have been better if not for the foreign exchange loss.

Earnings Per Share and Net Tangible Asset backing per Ordinary Share, has increased by 79.4% and 17.6% respectively for the period ended 30 June 2000 as compared to the previous half year period ended 30 June 1999.

Nippecraft to put the power of digital communication into their paper diaries

New technology allows the Singapore's largest diary company to electronically transfer data with pen and paper.


Singapore, 10 April 2001 - Nippecraft has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Anoto AB, a Swedish company that has developed the Anoto concept based on the Anoto technology. The companies will cooperate to make it possible to simply write appointments, notes, and drawings anytime, anywhere in a Nippecraft diary, notepad, or organizer, and have that information wirelessly and instantaneously transferred to any computer, hand phone (SMS or WAP enabled), or email address. Uniting handwriting with everyday digital communication, the system can directly transmit written information to most electronic communication devises and functional applications such as calendar software (like MS Outlook, Lotus notes), word processors, and presentation software, thus enabling greater convenience and flexibility.

The components needed are a Nippecraft (through its Collins or Debden Brands) paper based product outfitted with the Anoto Pattern, a digital pen enabling Anoto functionality, and a hand phone OR computer equipped with blue tooth technology. The first digital products with Anoto functionality will be introduced at the end of the 2001.

Nippecraft envisions this as another step toward expanding into the new economy. COO Howard Lo expressed, "This technology is the ideal marriage between the convenience of traditional paper, and today's necessity to stay connected because of it employs the most natural way to record and store information. It is a definite boost for our business to be chosen to a part of this new global revolution in communication""

"Nippecraft is a very important partner for us. We have established cooperation with paper product companies in Japan, Europe and in the US. With Nippecraft and other Asian paper product companies being added to our partners we have achieved broad coverage within the paper sector. Nippecraft also contributes to securing a position on the test market for GPRS, the Singapore/Hong Kong regions are of particular interest to Anoto. Mobile phones and PDA adapted to the Bluetooth technology are widely accepted in these parts", says Christer Fåhraeus, President of Anoto AB.

The development with strategic partners has been essential for Anoto in order to establish the global de facto standard in paper-based digital communication. World-class companies around have been sought out by Anoto to ensure this technology is cost effectively and easily available to the consumer on a global scale.

Anoto's concept in enabled by three components: ordinary paper made digital with the almost invisible Anoto pattern, digital pens with Bluetooth communication and services delivered to the market by a mobile operator.

As part of the agreement, Nippecraft will be joining the Anoto Partner Program - a forum where Anoto partners can exchange experience. The aim is to mutually strengthen the global de facto standard for digital paper.

DISPOSAL OF WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY - COLLINS OFFICE PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL TRADING LIMTIED ("COPI")

Pursuant to the announcement made on 3 August 2001 in respect of the disposal of COPI, the Board of Directors of Nippecraft Limited (the "Company") wishes to announce that the Company has entered into a conditional Sales and Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") on 23 August 2001 to dispose of its entire issued and paid up capital of COPI to APP Printing (Holding) Pte Ltd ("APP Printing"), a subsidiary of Asia Pulp and Paper Co Ltd ("APP"), the ultimate holding company of Nippecraft Limited.

Background

COPI is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and commenced operations in July 1999, trading in office and stationery products. COPI's suppliers are companies in the APP group which hold approximately 64% of Nippecraft Limited's shares. Its customers include existing customers of both APP and the Company.

Rationale of disposal

In the Company's announcement to SGX on 28 March 2001, the Company disclosed that they had received notification from APP that the transactions with COPI will cease with effect from 27 March 2001. As COPI is dependent on APP for business, the cessation of trade between APP and COPI has reduced the business activity of COPI to a minimum for the first quarter of 2001 and COPI has remained inactive since then. As a result, the business of COPI is deemed to be no longer viable.

Consideration

The issued shares of COPI comprised of 1 ordinary share of USD1.00. The sales consideration is based on the Net Asset Value of COPI as at 31 December 2000 which is equivalent to USD1.044 million. The consideration was arrived at based on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis between the Company and APP.

The Agreement is conditional upon, inter alia, the Company having obtained the approval of shareholders in a general meeting of which APP Printing being an interested party to the transaction is not entitled to vote and the approval of the Company's lender banks.

Financial Effects

As COPI has minimal contribution to the group's results for the financial year 2001, the disposal has no material impact on the earnings per share and net tangible asset of the group for the year ended 31 December 2001.

Directors and Substantial Shareholders' Interests

None of the Directors of the Company has any interest in the disposal of the shares. The substantial shareholder is an interested party to this transaction and the Company will abide by the rulings established under Chapter 9A Interested Person Transaction of the SGX Listing Manual.

PRESS RELEASE – First half year results for FY2002


General performance at Nippecraft Limited improves despite lower revenue

Singapore, 11 September 2002 – Nippecraft Limited, Singapore's leading branded diary and organiser manufacturer, today reported an improvement in the Group's core business performance for the six months ended 30 June 2002 (Non core business ceased transactions from April 2001).

Group core revenue reduced to $18.6m in the reporting period as compared to $19.7m in the previous corresponding period. Core earnings from business operations before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and minority interest (EBITDA) was $2.2m for the six months ended 30 June 2002 compared to $0.8m in the previous corresponding period.

Dr Howard Lo, Nippecraft Limited's Chief Operating Officer said "We achieved considerable efficiencies that would have been impossible if we had not worked hard over the past few years to build strength and flexibility into the organisation. These efficiency gains will enable us to provide better service and be more competitive in the future".

Group loss per share narrowed to 0.02 cents compared to 0.71 cents previously. As at 30 June 2002, net tangible asset per share increase to 6.96 cents from 5.79 cents.

Despite the improvement in the first half of the year, the business environment remains gloomy and uncertain with more competitive products coming in to vie for the market share of the Group's existing business. As a result, the Group intends to explore the growing market of Personal & Business Information Management (P&BIM) tools by leveraging on Nippecraft's core competencies that includes knowledge of traditional organising tools, dominant market position in Australia/UK/SEA regions, worldwide exclusive right to use Collins brand on dated products and association with new technology partners. However, this new business is intended to commence starting from the last quarter of 2002 and is not expected to have a major impact on the Group's results for 2002.

Not withstanding the difficult and uncertain environment, the Directors believe that the Group's full year results for the core business will be slightly better than the previous year.

Nippecraft's results for the six months ended 30 June 2002 and supplementary corporate materials are available at www.sgx.com and www.nippecraft.com.sg respectively.

Looking at the numbers again (31 Dec 2002 financial statements)...you'll find that the company is undervalued and the share price undemanding.

a) PE ratio (at $0.055 per share and EPS = 0.75 cents) = 7.33
b) Cashflow negative at $116k due largely to repayment of bank loans and compared to last FY negative cashflow of $4.8m, it is a large improvement.
c) Gearing improves to 0.35
d) Net current assets is positive $560k as compared to last FY net current liabilities of $5m
e) Net asset value per share at group level has improved to 14 cents and at company level, improved to 13 cents.

Based on the current share price of 5.5 cents, it is really undemanding. Looking forward, the directors expect the company to remain profitable. This is definitely a good news for the investors.

Investing in small cap companies requires patience. However, if the company that you have invested is a solid company in terms of management, growth, business and financial strength, then, the market will recognise the fundamentals of the company sooner or later and give it due recognition in terms of higher share price. It is just a matter of time. That is my belief..and nippecraft fits nicely to the criteria of a solid company. See my previous postings for more details.

While other small cap counters have run-up very fast with high volume today, Nippecraft is still largely ignored as seen by relatively low volume. I think this is the best time to accumulate nippecraft shares as it is still ignored by the market. However, once the market give due recognition to the good financial numbers and fundamentals of this company, its share price will no doubt move up to its intrinsic value.
Please see my past postings on the financial numbers of this company and compared it to those small cap which have run-up today...you will notice that the financial strength of Nippecraft is way ahead of these small cap companies....

The counter has consolidated very well with support at 6 cents. But if you read from my past postings, you would realise the reasons for my interest in this counter. Before you invest on this counter, look at the financial numbers reported in their financial statements. If you could, read its annual report to see who are the major shareholders.

I think for every stock, there are good and bad points. Did anyone mention that Nippecraft's loans have APP as their guarantors? APP has big debts themselces. I like this stock but with this type of backing, I am very cautious to get in..

They are also into a sunset business only very recently going into some PDA stuff. Still unknown how this will turn out. If the next half they can report good results, then can consider, otherwise it will move only a profitable small cap stock...

No vested interest.

To me, the movement has nothing to do with fundamentals, perhaps trying to reach NTA value, that's all. Perhaps something else is happening but nothing to do with finanicals. I have checked and checked the financials.

Just thought of answering the question but forgot to see the bigger picture... Indonesian stocks are on a roll these few days. Nippe, being tied to APP, enjoys the link. Also, with APP having secured extended period for loan payment, sure Nippe will fly lah!

If you tell me who cares if APP or Indonesia does what, my Nippe is up at least 30%, then of course u r right... but don't tell me to look at the financials of this company first then comment. Nippe is in a sun-set business. Like I said it will run only when people run and not by itself. I always check what I say...

Anyway, enjoy the run while it is there...

Just one bullet from u led to an artillary bombardment.. Aiyah 'pai say' lah, my tiny stock market ego rearing its ugly head again...

Nippe is really in a sunset biz and frankly if you see what the management, they don't know head/tail where to go... Risky long-term investment..

Anyway, good luck... I am still holding some Nippe at 42cts from the good old days of 2000.. hehee

Have divested my interest in this company as the share price is now above its NTA per share. Although the APP has made some progress in negotiating its debts, I do not want to take anymore uncalculated risk especially when most of the counters which have run-up in recent days seems like syndicates pushing the prices. There are no fundamentals in these company just plain speculation. If this goes on, it will be a repeat of a cycle of holding the last ball when the price falls and forceselling emerged.... Good Luck

Stevenchoy...there will always be syndicates and traders... they are out there to earn a living in a free market. Like all of us, they also face the tussle between fear and hope/greed. There's no guarantee that a syndicate will win, as another may enter the game - it is a free market. One protection is to have a cut-loss strategy and implement it mechanically come what may. We can recover from a 5%, or even a 10% loss, but don't let it cut to 50% or more as then one would need the share price to at least double to recover. Penny stocks are highly vulnerable and risky as every half cent or cent is already 5% or 10%! I agree that there is more form than substance in those stocks now, and we have to be careful with them.

Hello all Nipples supporters... I hope that this stock will wake up soon and cheong man... Been holding it for so long. It was stated in the last financial announcement that this quarter and the next will be better and I saw that the new product that they have is really cool and there is no such product in the market yet. Maybe it will have an outstanding quarter this time round? Any comments from Nipples supporters???

I love nipples!!!!!

Buy this stock b4 it rise beyond your reach. These past two days, it has been showing some tendency to surge beyond the resistance of $0.115. Once this level is breached, the next resistance is expected to be $0.13. That's a 10% gain. Provided that the resistance is indeed breached. Otherwise this stock will still fall back to $0.11.

It's recent announcement of changing the company's strategy from manufacturing diary to making technological products such as PDA, might provide a big boost to its profit margin, as currently there are not many similar product to the PDA that they are making.

Read Friday's Streats and Thurs' Straits Times for more details of its new product.
