RNS Number:3770T Natsun Holdings Limited 30 April 2008 For immediate release 30 APRIL 2008 Natsun Holdings Limited ("Natsun" or the "Company") TRADING UPDATE The Board of Natsun, (AIM:NTS), today announces a trading update ahead of the announcement of its audited results for the financial year ended 31 December 2007 which are expected to be released during May 2008. The Company successfully achieved its IPO on AIM in December 2007 raising approximately #5.3 million. Despite the disruption of the IPO process, the Board is extremely pleased to announce that the financial performance of the Company for 2007 was in line with their expectations at the time of Admission. Since the year end the Company has continued to strengthen its position as one of China's largest worsted wool fabric manufacturers. Revenues to date have been marginally behind management expectations at the time of IPO whilst gross margins have been materially impacted by historically high wool prices and low margin sales. However, the Company does expect to see an improvement in both its revenue generation and gross margin from June 2008 as increased selling prices are passed to customers and large orders in both Fabrics and Garments are received. As outlined at the time of the IPO, the Company intends to expand its capacity in both its Worsted Fabrics and Garments divisions. This expansion is to be principally driven by the establishment of a new fabric factory. The Company expects the new fabric factory to be fully operational in May 2008. The fabric factory is being funded from the Company's existing cash resources and an interest bearing credit line from Nanshan Group. The Board intends to provide further information on the current trading of the Company at the time of releasing the year end results in May 2008.

The Group produces a variety of worsted fabrics under the "Nanshan" brand for the domestic and overseas markets. In addition, Natsun Holdings has a 75 per cent. interest in a joint venture ("JV") with Berwin Holdings Limited ("Berwin Holdings"), a leading garments group based in the United Kingdom. The JV Company, Yantai Nanshan Berwin Garments Co., Limited ("Nanshan Berwin") supplies suits on an original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") basis to Berwin Holdings for sale to a range of UK and continental European brands such as Moss Bros, Next and others. The Group intends to become a leading international worsted fabric and garment producer with its independent suit business and own brand names. Global trend In 2000, the University of Cambridge's Institute of Manufacturing reported that global clothing spending amounted to approximately US$1 trillion, with Western Europe and North America each accounting for around a third of the total, and Asia accounting for one quarter. Although some Western countries, notably Italy, are still net exporters of clothing, many Western countries' clothing production has been outsourced to lower cost countries, including China. China alone now accounts for more than 25 per cent. of global clothing exports, up from 9 per cent. in 1990. Chinese textile and clothing exports increased further following the lifting of quotas on Chinese exports by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 2005. Clothing now accounts for more than 20 per cent of China's total exports. The planned elimination of Chinese clothing export quotas to the United States in 2008 is widely expected to be accompanied by increased Chinese exports there.
