The Company's equity income from PICH for the 15 month period ended September 30, 2010 is $1,068,000.
PICH holds 75.07% interest in Wah Sang, a corrugated packaging company. The corrugated packaging operations of Wah Sang are located in Shenzhen, in the Pearl River Delta of southern China which houses one of the world's largest concentrations of manufacturing of consumer electronics, office and telecommunication equipment. Wah Sang sells its high-end packaging products almost exclusively to multinational corporations which export from China. Wah Sang has annual production capacity of 63,000 tonnes of containerboard, 50,000 tonnes of flexo containers and 20,000 tonnes of off-set colour containers. The bulk of the containerboard produced is used internally for further processing into flexo containers or off-set colour containers. A detailed description of Wah Sang is contained in the Company's Annual Information Form.

Reference is made to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the 15 month period ended September 30, 2010.
Outlook
The Company has chosen to change its strategic direction from being a firm focused on Canadian real estate to one that is focused on one of the fastest growing economies in the world - China.
Using the same formula as in the past, management believes the company will successfully transit into the Chinese marketplace and continue to grow through a well-defined internal growth and external acquisition program. Management intends to seek out and take advantage of opportunities in the Asian market and will not restrict itself to the real estate or hospitality industries.
