Dear Grand ADS holder:


We are writing to inform you that an extraordinary general meeting of members of Grand Toys International Limited, which we refer to as Grand, will be held at Grand’s offices at Room UG202, Floor UG2, Chinachem Golden Plaza, 77 Mody Road, Tsimshatsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong on Thursday, 22nd December, 2005 at 10:00 a.m., local time, and at any adjournment thereof.  At the meeting, we are presenting for approval proposals for:


the acquisition by Grand of all of the share capital of Hua Yang Holdings Company Limited, or Hua Yang, and Kord Holdings, Inc., or Kord, pursuant to a certain Exchange Agreement dated November 30, 2005 by and among Grand, Hua Yang, Kord and Cornerstone Beststep International Limited, or Cornerstone Beststep, as a result of which each of Hua Yang and Kord will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Grand; and


the issuance to Cornerstone Beststep pursuant to the Exchange Agreement of a maximum of 11,465,798 Series B Convertible Preference Shares, which Series B Convertible Preference Shares are convertible into a maximum of 30,827,976 Grand American depositary shares, or Grand ADSs, represented by Grand American depositary receipts, or Grand ADRs, and which Grand ADSs represent beneficial ownership of an equal number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of Grand.


As a holder of Grand ADRs, you do not have the right to attend or vote at the meeting.  However, as more particularly described in the attached proxy statement, you will have the right to instruct The Bank of New York, as depositary for our Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by you, as to how you would like the Ordinary Shares to be voted.


As a result of the issuance to Cornerstone Beststep of the Series B Shares as part of the transaction, Mr. Jeff Hsieh Cheng, the ultimate beneficial owner of Cornerstone Beststep and Centralink Investments Limited, the current owner of 10,322,120 Grand ADSs and 2,000,000 Series A (as the same shall be redesignated) Convertible Preference Shares which are presently convertible into 2,804,600 Grand ADSs, will increase his beneficial ownership of the outstanding share capital of Grand from approximately 62% to approximately 84% on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of the 29,195,701 Series B Convertible Preference Shares which we anticipate issuing pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preference Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Hsieh and the exercise of all options and warrants to purchase Grand ADSs.  As a result, Mr. Hsieh’s position to control the affairs of Grand after the consummation of the transaction will be further consolidated.  Mr. Hsieh will also become a member of Grand’s board upon completion of the acquisition.


The proxy statement enclosed with this letter provides you with detailed information regarding each of the proposals to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting. We encourage you to read this entire document carefully. Please consider the risk factors beginning on page 23.


Grand’s board of directors has adopted the Exchange Agreement which provides for the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord and the issuance to Cornerstone Beststep of up to 11,465,798 Series B Convertible Preference Shares. We have also received an opinion by Stephens Inc. that the consideration to be paid by Grand in the transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the disinterested shareholders of Grand, meaning those owners of Grand ADSs other than Cornerstone Beststep and its affiliates, including Mr. Hsieh.  Your board recommends that you vote "FOR" approval of the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord and the related issuance of the Series B Convertible Preference Shares described in the Exchange Agreement, which must be approved if the acquisition is to go forward.   







If members of Grand approve the transaction at the extraordinary general meeting, we expect to complete the acquisition and the issuance of the Series B Convertible Preference Shares immediately after the extraordinary general meeting. The board appreciates your consideration and encourages you to give voting instructions.  PLEASE MARK, SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED VOTING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ENVELOPE PROVIDED AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.


Very truly yours,


HENRY HU

Chairman

GENERAL INFORMATION

PROPOSALS


At the meeting, we are presenting to the members for approval proposals for:


the acquisition by Grand of all of the share capital of Hua Yang Holdings Company Limited, or Hua Yang, and Kord Holdings, Inc., or Kord, pursuant to a certain Exchange Agreement dated November 30, 2005 by and among Grand, Hua Yang, Kord and Cornerstone Beststep International Limited, or Cornerstone Beststep, as a result of which each of Hua Yang and Kord will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Grand; and


the issuance to Cornerstone Beststep pursuant to the Exchange Agreement of a maximum of 11,465,798 Series B Convertible Preference Shares, or Series B Shares, which Series B Shares are convertible into a maximum of 30,827,976 Grand American depositary shares, or Grand ADSs, represented by Grand American depositary receipts, or Grand ADRs, and which Grand ADSs represent beneficial ownership of an equal number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of Grand.

QUORUM AND VOTING

Only registered holders of Ordinary Shares and existing convertible preference shares, or, as redesignated, the Series A Shares will be entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.  On 30th November, 2005, we had outstanding 16,307,967 Ordinary Shares, 2,000,000 Series A Shares and two deferred non-voting shares.  The holders of the Series A Shares are entitled to vote together with the holders of the Ordinary Shares as a single class on an “as converted” basis.  Accordingly, the holders of the Series A Shares are entitled to cast 2,804,600 votes at the meeting on a poll.  The chairman of the meeting will demand such a poll in respect of each resolution set out in the Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting.  On each such poll, a member shall have one vote for each Ordinary Share and 1.4023 votes for each Series A Share registered in its name.

Pursuant to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, two members present in person or by proxy and holding at least fifty-one percent of our paid up capital shall be a quorum.  An ordinary resolution shall be passed if a majority of votes cast at the meeting in respect of the resolution are cast in favour thereof.  A special resolution shall be passed if not less than three-fourths of the votes cast at the meeting in respect of the resolution are cast in favour thereof.  Proposal 1 is an ordinary resolution.  Proposal 2 is a special resolution.

Mr. Jeff Hsieh Cheng is the sole beneficial owner of Cornerstone Beststep, which in turn owns Hua Yang and Kord.  Mr. Hsieh is also the sole beneficial owner of Centralink Investments Limited, or Centralink, which owns 10,322,120 Grand ADSs and all 2,000,000 Series A Shares, representing approximately 62% of our shares on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of the Series A Shares and the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants.  To ensure fairness to all of our shareholders, Mr. Hsieh has agreed that the consummation of any transaction involving the contribution of businesses owned by him or his affiliates to Grand, including Hua Yang and Kord will be conditioned on the affirmative vote of a majority of the members who are not affiliated with Mr. Hsieh.  Accordingly, although Centralink will attend the meeting and be included in the quorum, Centralink will not vote any shares owned by it, or give any voting instructions in respect of Series A Shares or ADSs beneficially owned by it, in respect of Proposal 1, and Proposal 1 will only be approved if a majority of the members of Grand not affiliated with Mr. Hsieh vote in favor of Proposal 1.


As a holder of Grand ADSs, you do not have the right to attend or vote at the meeting.  However, you will have the right to give voting instructions on both Proposals.  Under the terms of the Depositary Agreement among Grand and The Bank of New York, which acts as depositary (which we refer to as the depositary), and the holders from time to time of our ADSs, the depositary, as a member holding Ordinary Shares, shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable and in accordance with the our Articles of Association) to vote or cause to be voted the number of Ordinary Shares represented by Grand ADSs in accordance with the instructions of each holder of Grand ADSs.  As a holder of Grand ADSs, if your instructions are not received by the depositary, the depositary shall appoint a person designated by us to vote the number of Ordinary Shares represented by your Grand ADSs in such manner as such person may, in his or her discretion, think fit.  You should be aware that any person so designated by us intends to vote in favor of Proposals 1 and 2.  Accordingly, if you desire to vote against either of Proposals 1 and 2, you must so instruct the depositary.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

ABOUT THE ACQUISITION AND THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES TO CORNERSTONE


Q. What am I being asked to vote on?


A. You are being asked to vote in favor of the acquisition by Grand of Hua Yang and Kord.  You are also being asked to vote on the related issuance to Cornerstone Beststep of Series B Shares.  The Series B Shares are convertible into Grand ADSs which when converted will represent approximately 58% of our Ordinary Shares on a fully-diluted basis.


Q. What vote is required to approve each of the proposals to be voted on at the extraordinary general meeting?


A. The approval of the acquisition (Proposal 1) requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting which are not beneficially owned by Mr. Hsieh or his affiliates.  The approval of the issuance of the Series B Shares requires the approval of at least three-quarters of the votes cast at the meeting (inclusive of any shares owned by Mr. Hsieh and his affiliates).  Unless both proposals are approved, neither the acquisition nor the issuance of the Series B Shares will be completed.


Q. Why are we acquiring Hua Yang and Kord?


A. Last year, when we reorganized and acquired Playwell, we took the first steps of our plan to create a public company with greater revenues and assets which could serve as a platform for future expansion.  Our goal was to identify and acquire complementary companies which would collectively form a vertically integrated multinational toy and toy-related company.


Mr. Hsieh and Grand identified a number of companies which would be complementary to our business.  Among these companies were Hua Yang, a company engaged in specialty printing for children’s books and games and producing toy and gift marketing related specialty printing and packaging, with an established track record in the printing and packaging business; and Kord, which is one of the world’s largest party goods manufacturers, producing a broad range of party and paper goods and offering comprehensive lines of party products and accessories to major importers and international superstores under the Kord brand or on an OEM basis.  


Hua Yang and Kord were acquired by Cornerstone Overseas in May 2004 and June 2004, respectively.  Mr. Hsieh is the sole beneficial owner of Cornerstone Overseas.  At the time Hua Yang and Kord were acquired, we had not yet reorganized and we were not in a position financially or otherwise to acquire Kord and Hua Yang.  Hua Yang and Kord were acquired by Cornerstone Overseas with the intention of contributing them to us.  Since Hua Yang and Kord were acquired, Mr. Hsieh has made significant capital improvements to Kord and Hua Yang and each of these companies has shown significant growth in both EBITDA and cash flow.  Mr. Hsieh and Grand have determined that contributing Kord and Hua Yang to Grand before the end of 2005 is in the best interests of Grand.  


In addition to the financial performance of Hua Yang and Kord, we believe there are a number of additional compelling reasons to make the acquisition.  First, our management has become very familiar with the operations of Kord and Hua Yang since they were acquired in 2004.  The acquisition would also give us an entrée into the lucrative publishing and party goods businesses thereby further diversifying our business operations.  Finally, the manufacturing operations of Kord and Hua Yang will complete our vision of a vertically integrated company and give us additional capacity for new business.


Q. How will the acquisition be accomplished?


A. The share capitals of Hua Yang and Kord will be acquired directly by Grand from Cornerstone Beststep for total consideration of $44,000,000, of which we estimate that $41,670,294 shall be paid through the issuance by us of 10,858,709 Series B Shares, or one Series B Share for every $3.8375 of consideration, and the balance shall be paid by our canceling $2,329,706 of net indebtedness owed by affiliates of Mr. Hsieh to us and our subsidiaries.  The actual net indebtedness may change prior to the closing.  Any change in the amount of the net indebtedness will change the number of Series B Shares to be issued.  In addition to acquiring the share capital of Hua Yang and Kord, Grand will assume approximately $29.8 million of debt.  




-4-






Q. Will the acquisition dilute my ownership interest?


A. If, as expected, the acquisition results in the issuance by Grand of 10,858,709 Series B Shares, these Series B Shares will be convertible into 29,195,701 Grand ADSs.  This represents approximately 58% of our outstanding shares.  As a result, Mr. Hsieh, the owner of Cornerstone Beststep and Centralink, will beneficially hold a total of 42,322,421 Grand ADSs, or 83.8% of our outstanding ADSs on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of all outstanding Series A Shares and Series B Shares and the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants.  The transaction will therefore increase Mr. Hsieh’s ownership percentage of Grand by approximately 22% and your percentage ownership interest in Grand after the consummation of all the transactions will decrease from approximately 38% to approximately 16%.  


Q. If the acquisition is dilutive to my ownership interest, what is the benefit of voting in favor of it?


A. We believe that in the long run the addition of Hua Yang will benefit and be accretive to you and the other holders of our securities.  Together Hua Yang and Kord are much bigger than Grand as it exists today.  For the year ending December 31, 2005, Hua Yang and Kord alone are expected to have net operating profit of approximately $4.3 million and operating EBITDA of approximately $9.0 million.  However, because these entities, like Grand, are under common control with Mr. Hsieh, we will be required to restate our financial statements to treat the acquisition as if it had occurred on the dates that Cornerstone Overseas, another entity beneficially owned by Mr. Hsieh, acquired Hua Yang and Kord, May 2004 and June 2004, respectively.  The value that Mr. Hsieh receives from Grand, in excess of his current basis in Hua Yang and Kord will create a “deemed dividend” that will be recorded in 2005.  This will result in Grand reporting a sizable loss as a result of this “deemed dividend” to Cornerstone Beststep.  Beginning in 2006, we expect earnings and EBITDA levels significantly greater than those currently experienced by Grand.

Q. When do you expect to complete the acquisition?


A. Grand, Hua Yang, Kord and Cornerstone Beststep expect to complete the acquisition immediately after the extraordinary general meeting if the acquisition and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep are approved at such meeting.


Q. How does Grand’s board of directors recommend that I vote?


A. Grand’s board of directors recommends that you instruct the depositary vote to approve the acquisition and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.  Although the determination of the four members of the board who participated in the decision to recommend the transaction was unanimous (our fifth director, Mr. Henry Hai Lin Hu, our Chairman, is a director and officer of Hua Yang and Kord as well as other entities controlled by Mr. Hsieh and thereby abstained from participating), you should be aware that, by virtue of Mr. Hsieh’s controlling ownership interest in Grand, Mr. Hsieh has the ultimate ability to determine whether any members of the board should continue to serve.  Although we do not believe that this ability was a factor in the board’s deliberation, it could be perceived as creating a conflict of interest in making its determination.


Q. What risks should I consider in deciding whether to approve the acquisition and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep?


A. In evaluating the acquisition and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep, you should carefully read this proxy statement and especially consider the factors discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors."


Q. Who can answer my questions?


A. If you have questions about the acquisition and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep or desire additional copies of this proxy statement or voting instruction cards you should contact:

The Acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord


Terms of the Acquisition


Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Hua Yang and Kord for an aggregate of $44,000,000, of which we anticipate $41,670,294 shall be paid through the issuance by us of 10,858,709 Series B Shares, or one Series B Share for every $3.8375 of consideration payable in Series B Shares, and the expected balance shall be paid by our canceling $2,329,706 the net indebtedness owed to us and our subsidiaries by affiliates of Mr. Hsieh.  The net indebtedness owed to us may change before the closing.  Accordingly, the number of Series B Shares we will issue and the amount of the net indebtedness which we will forgive may change.  Twenty percent of the Series B Shares will be held in escrow for a period of 18 months to secure Cornerstone Beststep’s indemnification obligations under the Exchange Agreement.  In addition to acquiring the share capital of Hua Yang and Kord, we will assume approximately $29.8 million of Hua Yang and Kord’s debt.


The Series B Shares will accrue a cumulative dividend of 4.75% per annum payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year.  At our option, dividends on the Series B Shares will be paid in a number of Grand ADSs determined by dividing the amount of the accrued dividends payable by $1.543, which represents the average closing price of Grand ADSs for the 30 trading days preceding the announcement of the acquisition.  The Series B Shares will be convertible into Grand ADSs at a conversion price equal $1.427275, which represents 92.5% of the average closing price of Grand ADSs for the 30 trading days preceding the announcement of the acquisition on 30th November, 2005.  The Series B Shares will have a liquidation preference senior to our Ordinary Shares but junior to our Series A Shares and will have the same registration rights as the Series A Shares.


The Series B Shares are entitled to vote with our Ordinary Shares and our Series A Shares as a single class on an “as converted” basis, which means that, assuming 10,858,709 Series B Shares are issued, these Series B Shares will have 29,195,701 votes on all matters submitted to our members at any general meeting, representing approximately 58% of our share capital.  If the transaction closes, Mr. Hsieh, the sole beneficial owner of Cornerstone Beststep and Centralink, will beneficially own a total of 42,322,421 Grand ADSs, or approximately 84% of the outstanding Grand ADSs on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of all outstanding Series A Shares and Series B Shares and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants.  This represents an increase in Mr. Hsieh’s beneficial ownership percentage of approximately 22% from the 62% currently beneficially owned by Mr. Hsieh.


Recommendation of the Board of Grand


After careful consideration, our board of directors unanimously determined that the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep pursuant to the Exchange Agreement are advisable and are fair to and in the best interests of Grand and our members.  Our directors recommend that the members of Grand vote, and you, as holders of Grand ADSs instruct the depositary to vote:


• "FOR" Proposal 1 to approve the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord pursuant to the Exchange Agreement; and


• "FOR" Proposal 2 to approve the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep.


Although the board has approved and recommends the Proposals, you should be aware that Henry Hu, one of our directors, is a director and officer of Cornerstone Beststep, Hua Yang, Kord and Centralink and he has, accordingly, abstained from participating in the board’s deliberation on the acquisition.  You should also be aware that, by virtue of Mr. Hsieh’s controlling interest in Grand, he has the ultimate ability to determine whether any members of the board should continue to serve.  Although we do not believe that this ability was a factor in the board’s deliberation, it could be perceived as creating a conflict of interest in making their determination.


Grand’s Reasons for the Acquisition


When we reorganized and acquired Playwell from Centralink last year, it was part of a plan to create a public company with greater revenues and assets which could serve as a platform for future expansion.  Our goal was to

Since Kord and Hua Yang were acquired by Cornerstone Overseas in 2004 (and subsequently transferred to Cornerstone Beststep, Cornerstone Beststep has made significant capital improvements to Kord and Hua Yang and each of these companies has shown significant growth in both EBITDA and cash flow.  Mr. Hsieh and Grand have determined that contributing these assets to Grand before the end of 2005 is in the best interests of Grand.  In addition to the financial performance of Hua Yang and Kord, we believe there are a number of additional compelling reasons to make the acquisition.  First, our management has become very familiar with the operations of Kord and Hua Yang since the acquisition of these companies by Cornerstone Overseas in 2004.  The acquisition would also give us an entrée into the lucrative publishing and party goods lines of business thereby further diversifying our business operations.  Finally, the manufacturing operations of Kord and Hua Yang will complete our vision of a vertically integrated company and give us additional capacity for new business.


Fairness Opinion


Stephens Inc., or Stephens, our financial advisor, has delivered to our board a written opinion dated November 22, 2005 to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to the various assumptions, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations described in its opinion, the consideration to be paid by us for Hua Yang and Kord is fair from a financial point of view to the disinterested shareholders of Grand, meaning those owners of Grand ADSs other than Cornerstone Beststep and its affiliates, including Mr. Hsieh. A copy of the full text of this opinion is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. Grand encourages you to read the opinion carefully in its entirety for a description of the assumptions, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by Stephens Inc.


Stephens provided its opinion for the information and assistance of the Grand board in connection with its determination to proceed with the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, and such opinion is not a recommendation as to how you should instruct the depositary to vote with respect to the approval of the acquisition and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep.  In addition to its compensation for evaluating the fairness of the transactions described in this proxy statement, Stephens has also rendered financial advisory services for Grand since June 2005.


Conditions to Consummation of the Reorganization Merger and Playwell Acquisition


A number of conditions must be satisfied or waived before Grand will complete the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep.  Neither Grand nor Cornerstone Beststep has any present intention to waive any of the closing conditions.


The obligations of Cornerstone Beststep are subject to the condition that Mr. Hsieh shall have been appointed to Grand’s board of directors.


The obligations of Grand are subject to the following conditions:


·

members of Grand shall have approved the acquisition and the issuance of the Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep;

·

receipt of the fairness opinion of Stephens Inc.;

·

the release of Hua Yang, Kord and their respective subsidiaries from any guarantee or other liability which any of them may have relating to the liabilities of Cornerstone Beststep or any affiliate of Cornerstone Beststep;

·

Kord shall have divested itself of all equity ownership of or interest in Kord Industrial (China) Limited;

·

Cornerstone Beststep and its affiliates shall have released Grand, Hua Yang and Kord and their respective subsidiaries from all obligations owing to Cornerstone Beststep and its affiliates;

·

Key employees of Kord and Hua Yang shall have committed to remain in the employ of Kord and Hua Yang after the acquisition; and



-9-







·

Cornerstone Beststep shall have assigned to Grand any rights to indemnification from third parties which Cornerstone Beststep received in connection with its acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord or any of their respective subsidiaries.


At this time, subject to approval of the Proposals, neither Grand nor Cornerstone Beststep has any reason to believe that any of these conditions to closing will not be satisfied.


Government and Regulatory Approvals


Neither Grand nor Cornerstone Beststep is aware of any regulatory approvals or actions that are required prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.


Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Acquisition


Because Grand, Hua Yang and Kord are all companies under common control of Mr. Hsieh, the acquisition will be deemed to have occurred for accounting purposes on the dates that Cornerstone Beststep acquired Hua Yang and Kord, May 2004 and June 2004, respectively.  The value that Mr. Hsieh receives from Grand, in excess of his current basis in Hua Yang and Kord will create a “deemed dividend” that will be recorded in 2005.    Accordingly, our financial statements for the 2004 and 2005 years will be restated to give effect to the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord as if they had taken place in May 2004 and June 2004, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data gives effect to the proposed business combination of Hua Yang and Kord with Grand.  Since Grand, Hua Yang and Kord are all under common control, the accounting treatment for Grand’s acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord requires the restatement of Grand’s financial statements back to the date of common control as if Hua Yang and Kord were part of Grand on those dates; May 2004 and June 2004, respectively.  Under this method of accounting, the excess of the value now paid to Cornerstone Beststep for the share capital of Hua Yang and Kord over the original cost paid by Cornerstone Beststep for the share capital of Hua Yang and Kord is reflected as a deemed dividend on the 2005 financial statements and, therefore, has a non-recurring impact on the results for 2005.  Further, all acquisition costs are treated as restructuring costs and recorded as an expense in the pro forma statements rather than be capitalized as would be the case in an acquisition involving unaffiliated parties.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data is based on the historical financial statements of Grand, Hua Yang and Kord for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  

The unaudited Pro Forma consolidated balance sheet assumes the acquisition was consummated on September 30, 2005 and combines the unaudited September 30, 2005 consolidated balance sheets of Grand, Hua Yang and Kord.

The 2004 unaudited Pro Forma consolidated income statement combines the year ended December 31, 2004 audited consolidated statement of operations for Grand with the year ended December 31, 2004 unaudited consolidated income statements for Hua Yang and Kord and assumes the acquisition took place on January 1, 2004.  The September 30, 2005 unaudited Pro Forma consolidated income statement combines the period ended September 30, 2005 unaudited consolidated statement of operations for Grand with the period ended September 30, 2005 unaudited Consolidated Income Statements for Hua Yang and Kord and assumes the acquisition took place on January 1, 2005.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data is not necessarily indicative of the actual operating results that would have occurred or the future operating results that will occur as a consequence of such transactions. The Pro Forma consolidated financial statements are presented based on Grand’s financial statement presentation. The financial statements are reported in US$.

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements

1.

Accounting Treatment For Business Combination


The pro forma financial information presents the business combination of Grand with Hua Yang and Kord. The terms of the transaction contemplate that Grand will acquire the share capital of Hua Yang and Kord from Cornerstone Beststep through the issuance of an expected 29,195,701 Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $41,670,294 plus intercompany debt forgiveness of $2,329,706, for an aggregate amount of $44,000,000.  The amount of the indebtedness to be forgiven is subject to change and, therefore, the allocation of the consideration is also subject to change.

Grand, Hua Yang and Kord are under common control with Mr. Hsieh since he beneficially owns 62% of Grand’s outstanding shares and is the sole beneficial owner of the shares of Hua Yang and Kord.  The accounting treatment for Grand’s acquisition therefore requires Grand to restate its financial statements back to the date of common control as if Hua Yang and Kord were part of Grand on those dates, May 2004 and June 2004, respectively.  Under this method of accounting, the excess of the value now paid to Cornerstone Beststep over the original cost of Hua Yang and Kord is reflected as a deemed dividend on the 2005 financial statements and, therefore, has a non-recurring impact on the results for 2005.  Further, all acquisition costs are treated as restructuring costs and recorded as an expense in the pro forma statements rather than be capitalized as would be the case in an acquisition involving unaffiliated parties.

The purchase method of accounting was used to account for the business combination of the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord by Cornerstone Beststep in May 2004 and June 2004, respectively.  

Application of purchase accounting results in the following:

I.

The identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Cornerstone Beststep be based on their fair values on the dates of acquisition;

II.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Hua Yang and Kord were reflected as goodwill; and

III.

The results of operations of Hua Yang and Kord (“as the acquired entities”) will be included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of Cornerstone Beststep’s acquisition only (May 2004 and June 2004, respectively).

Pro Forma Assumptions and adjustments


The pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if such acquisition had taken place as at September 30, 2005. The pro forma consolidated statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 give effect to the acquisition as if such acquisition had taken place as at January 1, 2004 and January 1, 2005, respectively.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma consolidated financial statements are those disclosed in Grand consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The financial information for Grand, Hua Yang and Kord are presented in US dollars and in accordance with US GAAP. The financial statements of Hua Yang and Kord’s balance sheets, as of September 30, 2005 have been converted into U.S. dollars using the rate in effect at September 30, 2005.








The pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the following assumptions and adjustments:

RISK FACTORS


You should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating whether to approve and adopt the Exchange Agreement and the issuance of the Series B Shares.  These risk factors should be considered in conjunction with the other information contained in this proxy statement and the Annexes hereto.  If any of the following risk actually occur, the business, financial condition or results of operations of any or all of Grand, Hua Yang or Kord may be seriously harmed.


The consummation of the transaction will further increase the ownership percentage of Mr. Hsieh which could inhibit potential changes of control which could benefit our members and ADS holders


Immediately prior to the acquisition, Mr. Hsieh, through Centralink, will own approximately 62% of our shares on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of the Series A Shares and the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants.  The issuance of the 10,858,709 Series B Shares which we expect to issue to Cornerstone Beststep pursuant to the Exchange Agreement will, assuming conversion into 29,195,701 Ordinary Shares, represent 58% of our outstanding shares.  Mr. Hsieh, through Centralink and Cornerstone Beststep, will therefore own approximately 84% of our shares on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of the Series A Shares and Series B Shares and the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants.  Accordingly, Mr. Hsieh’s ability to control the outcome of all matters requiring approval of our members, including the election and removal of our entire board of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the our assets, and the ability to control our business and affairs will be further concentrated.  This concentrated control could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transaction that may otherwise be beneficial to our business.   As a result, the market price of our ADSs could be adversely affected.


Certain characteristics of the Series B Shares could be disadvantageous to us

Grand will be required to pay dividends in cash or Grand ADSs on the Series B Shares which may either divert funds from other corporate purposes if paid in cash, or dilute ownership if paid in Grand ADSs.  Upon a liquidation of Grand, as a holder of Series B Shares, Cornerstone Beststep will receive the amount credited as paid up thereon and any accrued but unpaid dividends before any holder of Ordinary Shares/Grand ADSs receives any amount.  The provisions could impair our ability to raise needed capital by depressing the price at which we could issue further securities.


The existence of the Series A Shares and the Series B Shares could further restrict our ability to secure additional investment


The provisions of the Series A Shares and Series B Shares contain protective provisions, including prohibitions on our issuing additional preference shares with rights equal or senior to Series A Shares and the Series B Shares and preemptive rights to acquire our shares if we determine to issue additional shares.  The existence of the Series A Shares and the Series B Shares could affect the market price of our ADSs, may discourage potential investors from investing in us or otherwise make it more difficult for us to issue additional equity securities.


There may be actual or perceived conflicts of interest in structuring the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement


Hua Yang and Kord are both beneficially owned by Mr. Hsieh, who beneficially owns a majority of our shares and therefore has the power to appoint our entire board of directors.  Although the Exchange Agreement was negotiated on an arms-length basis between Cornerstone Beststep and Grand, and the transaction was approved by those of our directors who are not affiliated with Mr. Hsieh other than in their capacity as directors of Grand, there can be no assurance that the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement will not operate to our detriment.


Future sales of our ADSs by Cornerstone Beststep or Centralink could result in a decline of the price of our ADSs


The market price of our ADSs could decline as a result of sales of a large number of Grand ADSs into the market, or the perception that these sales could occur.  We issued to Centralink 2,000,000 Series A Shares which are



-22-







convertible into 2,804,600 ADSs.  In addition, we expect to issue, in connection with the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord, 10,813,396 Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep which are convertible into 29,195,701 Grand ADSs.  Additional ADSs will be issued in satisfaction of the dividends payable of the Series A Shares and the Series B Shares.  Centralink and Cornerstone Beststep have the right to demand registration of the shares underlying these ADSs.  If and when these Series A Shares and Series B Shares are registered, it might have a depressive impact on the market price of the Grand ADSs.  This might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.


Features of Hong Kong law which allow an acquiring party to compulsorily acquire shares held by minority members may force minority members of Grand to sell their shares under certain circumstances which may negatively impact the price and liquidity of the Grand ADSs


Hong Kong law allows a company to compel the minority members of another company to sell their shares in certain circumstances – more particularly where the first such company has made a general offer and acquired not less than 90% of the shares to which such offer relates.  This in turn may discourage ownership of Grand ADSs and negatively impact the price and liquidity of Grand ADSs.  Mr. Hsieh, who, through his affiliates, currently controls approximately 62% of our shares on a fully diluted basis and would control approximately 84% of our shares on a fully-diluted basis if the transaction is completed, could, if a general offer were made, potentially force the minority members of Grand to sell their shares in Grand pursuant to these provisions.  Mr. Hsieh has informed us that he does not presently intend to initiate or support an effort to force the compulsory acquisition of shares using these provisions. Should he initiate or support such an effort in the future, minority Members may be forced to sell their Grand ADSs.


Hua Yang and Kord have a number of different credit facilities and in the event we are unable to consolidate these loans, our operations may be adversely affected


Kord and Hua Yang have funded their working capital needs through a variety of different lending facilities, all of which are guaranteed by Mr. Hsieh or fully collateralized.  We believe that it is essential to refinance Hua Yang’s and Kord’s credit facilities to allow the efficient operation of their businesses.  In the event that we are not able to refinance Hua Yang’s and Kord’s indebtedness, Hua Yang and Kord could be forced to curtail or delay their respective business activities.


The accounting treatment of the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord will create a significant loss for Grand in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005


Although we expect that both Hua Yang and Kord will have profitable operations for the year ending December 31, 2005, because Grand, Kord and Hua Yang are under common control of Mr. Hsieh, we will be required to restate our financial statements to treat the acquisition as if it had occurred on the dates that Cornerstone Beststep acquired Hua Yang and Kord, May 2004 and June 2004, respectively.  The value that Mr. Hsieh receives from Grand, in excess of his current basis in Hua Yang and Kord will create a “deemed dividend” of approximately $10,471,000 that will be recorded in 2005.  This will result in Grand reporting a sizable loss as a result of this “deemed dividend” to Cornerstone Beststep.  This significant loss could create a negative reaction in the marketplace resulting in a decrease in the value of the Grand ADSs.

If the contemplated benefits of the acquisition are not realized, the market price of our ADSs may be adversely affected


We will be operating our existing businesses and the operations of Hua Yang and Kord in a market environment that cannot be predicted and that involves significant risks, many of which will be beyond our control. Our failure to realize any of the acquisition benefits could seriously harm the results of our operations, thereby reducing earnings and potentially affecting the market price of our ADSs.  The challenges involved include the following:


·

demonstrating to the customers of Hua Yang and Kord that the acquisition will not result in adverse changes in customer service standards or business focus;



-23-








·

preserving distribution, marketing or other important relationships of Hua Yang and Kord and resolving potential conflicts that may arise;


·

persuading employees that our business culture is compatible with that of Hua Yang and Kord, as well as maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees;


·

realizing economies of scale through the elimination of certain redundant administrative and overhead costs; and


·

realizing cost savings and strategic benefits due to vertical integration resulting from the combination of our distribution capabilities and Hua Yang and Kord’s manufacturing and distribution capabilities.


If the benefits of the acquisition do not exceed the related costs, our financial results could be negatively impacted


If the benefits of the acquisition do not exceed the costs associated with the acquisition, including transaction costs and the dilution to our ADS holders resulting from the issuance of the Series B Shares, our financial results, including earnings per share, could be decreased.  We expect to incur, on a consolidated basis, direct transaction costs of approximately $500,000 in connection with the acquisition.  At this time, it cannot be determined whether the benefits will outweigh these costs.


Dependence on major customers


Hua Yang’s and Kord’s success are dependent on continued sales to a small number of large customers.  Hua Yang’s most significant customer is Cranium Inc. and Kord’s most significant customer is Creative Expressions/Sweetheart Cup Company Inc.  Sales to Cranium and Creative Expressions represented 17% and 21%, respectively, of Hua Yang’s and Kord’s net sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.  Hua Yang’s and Kord’s dependence on its major customers is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. The loss of any one of their major customers would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of our operations taken as a whole.  None of Hua Yang’s or Kord’s major customers are obligated under a long-term purchase contract.  Instead, sales transactions with all customers are based on purchase orders received from time to time, which purchase orders are subject to cancellation.


Introduction of new products by customers, market acceptance and economic factors will have a significant impact on the success or Hua Yang and Kord’s business


Hua Yang’s and Kord’s long-term operating results depend substantially upon their customers' ability to continue to conceive, design and market new products and upon continuing market acceptance of their customers' existing and future products. In the ordinary course of their businesses, Hua Yang’s and Kord’s customers continuously develop new products and create additions to their existing product lines. Significant delays by Hua Yang’s and Kord’s customers in the introduction of, or their failure to introduce or market, new products or additions to their respective product lines would impair Hua Yang’s and Kord’s results of operations.  With respect to Hua Yang exclusively, changing consumer tastes and interests, which are difficult to predict and over which Hua Yang’s customers may have little control, affect the book markets on which Hua Yang is partially dependent.


Hua Yang’s products have limited life cycles and may be discontinued by the customer at any time. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that existing or future products of Hua Yang’s customers will continue to receive substantial market acceptance.  In addition, because a significant portion of the products manufactured by Hua Yang and Kord are sold in the U.S., Hua Yang’s and Kord’s profitability also depends on the strength of the U.S. economy, which can affect U.S. consumers' spending habits on the items manufactured by Hua Yang and Kord.  Any downturn in the U.S. economy could have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang’s and Kord’s business, financial condition and results of operations.




-24-







Competition


Hua Yang faces significant competition in its business segments.  In "pop up" books, Hua Yang competes with contract manufacturers located in Southeast Asia and South America. In novelty and board books as well as specialty packaging, Hua Yang competes with contract manufacturers located in Hong Kong and other parts of the PRC.  In addition, Hua Yang competes with customers that have the capability to manufacture their products internally.


Hua Yang and Kord do not believe that there are any significant barriers to entry into the light manufacturing business.  Although Hua Yang and Kord seek patent, trademark, trade name or copyright protection for some of their products, neither Hua Yang nor Kord characterizes its business as proprietary.  Accordingly, additional participants may enter the market at any time.


Capacity limitations in Hua Yang and Kord’s our production facilities could have an impact on our operations


Hua Yang’s and Kord’s manufacturing operations are conducted in two production facilities. Kord’s production facilities, or the Kord Facility, are located in Tuen Mun, New Territories, Hong Kong.  Hua Yang's books, specialty packaging and other paper products production facilities, or the Hua Yang production Facility, are primarily located in Shenzhen, PRC.


Kord leases its current facilities.  Kord does not have an ownership interest in the Kord Facility or its leasehold improvements, and upon termination of its lease such improvements would revert to the owner of the Kord Facilities. Most of the leases will expire in the second half of 2007.  No assurance can be given as to the ability of Kord to renew its existing facilities on acceptable terms and at an acceptable cost, and the inability of Kord to do so could have a material adverse effect on Kord ’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


Kord and Hua Yang are dependent upon key personnel whose loss may adversely impact their business


Each of Hua Yang and Kord will depend on the expertise, experience and continued services of its senior management employees.  These employees have acquired specialized knowledge and skills with respect to Hua Yang and Kord and their operations and most decisions concerning the day-to-day business of Hua Yang and Kord will be made or significantly influenced by them.  Neither Hua Yang nor Kord maintains "key man" insurance on the life of any of these persons. The loss of some of these senior management employees, or an inability to attract or retain other key individuals, could materially adversely affect either Hua Yang or Kord. Growth in the business of Hua Yang and Kord depends, to a large degree, on their ability to retain and attract such employees.  If any of these individuals were to leave, Hua Yang or Kord could face substantial difficulty in hiring qualified successors and could experience a loss in productivity while any such successor obtains the necessary training and experience.


The operation of the Hua Yang Facility is dependent on third parties not under our control


The Hua Yang Facility is owned and operated by a co-operative joint venture in which Hua Yang has a majority interest.  The other party to this contractual joint venture is an entity that is controlled by PRC governmental bodies.  The efficient and cost-effective operation of the Hua Yang Facility depends upon the cooperation and support of the development authorities and the joint venture partners. Should a dispute develop between Hua Yang and its joint venture partners, there can be no assurance that Hua Yang would be able to enforce its understanding of its agreements or interests with any of such joint venture partners, which could result in a significant loss of, or depreciation in the value of, The Hua Yang Facility. Hua Yang’s investment in the Hua Yang Facility is significant and could not be replaced without a considerable new investment, if at all. The lack of cooperation by any of Hua Yang’s joint venture partners could subject Hua Yang to additional risks and costs, including the interruption or cessation of their present operations in the PRC, all of which would have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


Hua Yang and Kord’s operations depend on access to raw materials which must be available in significant quantities and reasonable prices in order for our operations to be conducted profitably



-25-








Hua Yang and Kord use various plastic resins, paper, ink and glue in their manufacturing operations. Hua Yang’s and Kord’s financial performance is dependent, to a substantial extent, on the cost of such raw materials. The supply and demand for both plastic resins and the petrochemical intermediates from which plastic resins are produced are subject to cyclical and other market factors and may fluctuate significantly. As a result, the cost of raw materials to Hua Yang and Kord is subject to substantial increases and decreases over which Hua Yang and Kord have no control except by seeking to time their purchases in order to take advantage of favorable market conditions. In the past, Hua Yang and Kord have experienced significant increases in the price of certain raw materials, which resulted in an increase in Hua Yang’s and Kord’s production costs that Hua Yang and Kord were not able to pass on fully to their respective customers.  To the extent that future increases in the cost of raw materials cannot be passed on to customers, such increases could have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang’s and Kord’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


Hua Yang and Kord purchase their raw materials from a limited number of suppliers.  Hua Yang and Kord have no formal written agreements with any of their suppliers.  No assurance can be given that Hua Yang and Kord will be able to obtain sufficient quantities of such raw materials to meet their needs.  Any lack of sufficient raw materials for their needs would have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang’s and Kord’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


Kord and Hua Yang may be adversely affected by the seasonal aspect of their business


Hua Yang and Kord cease production for a two-week period during January or February of each year due to the Chinese New Year holiday, which is partially responsible for net sales during the first fiscal quarter of each year being lower than net sales during the other three fiscal quarters.


Hua Yang and, to a lesser extent, Kord may also experience fluctuations in quarterly revenues and related net income due to the timing of receipt of orders from customers and the shipment of products. Sales of books by Hua Yang are weighted toward the Christmas season; as a result, book sales in the second half of the fiscal year are generally higher than the first half.


Hua Yang and Kord may be subject to product liability claims which, if not covered by adequate insurance, could result in Hua Yang or Kord becoming responsible for paying substantial amount of damages, which could adversely impact their respective business, financial condition and results of operations


Use of Hua Yang’s and Kord’s products could result in possible claims for injury or damage.  Neither Hua Yang nor Kord is currently, nor has it been in the past, a defendant in any product liability lawsuit.  A successful claim brought against Hua Yang and Kord by a customer or a consumer and the adverse publicity that could accompany any such claim could have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang’s and Kord’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


Hua Yang and Kord will be subject to many U.S. regulations that could result in the exclusion of some of its products from U.S. markets


U.S. customers of Hua Yang and Kord are subject to the provisions of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act and the Federal Consumer Product Safety Act.  These laws empower the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which we refer to as the CPSC, to protect consumers from hazardous articles. The CPSC has the authority to exclude products from the market that are found to be unsafe or hazardous, and can require a recall of such products under certain circumstances.  Similar laws exist in some states and cities in the U.S., as well as in foreign jurisdictions.  


Hua Yang and Kord rely on their customers to design products that comply with such safety standards and to test the products to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory safety standards. While Hua Yang and Kord believe that their customers design and test the products Hua Yang and Kord manufacture for compliance with regulatory standards, and each of Hua Yang and Kord maintains quality assurance procedures, there can be no assurance that Hua Yang’s and Kord’s products will not be found to violate applicable laws, rules and regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of Hua Yang and Kord.



-26-







In addition, there can be no assurance that more restrictive laws, rules and regulations will not be adopted in the future, or that Hua Yang’s and Kord’s products will not be marketed in the future in countries with more restrictive laws, rules and regulations, either of which could make compliance more difficult or expensive, and which could have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang’s and Kord’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


Hua Yang and Kord operate across a number of international borders and may face unanticipated assessments from taxing authorities from these jurisdictions


Hua Yang’s and Kord’s operations involve a significant number of cross-border transactions.  Hua Yang and Kord establish provisions for their known and estimated income tax obligations.  However, whether through a challenge by one of the many tax authorities in international jurisdictions where Hua Yang or Kord operates, through transfer pricing, or through challenges to any claim regarding lack of permanent establishment, or other matters that may exist, Hua Yang and Kord could be exposed to possible additional taxation that will not have been accrued.


Compliance with and violations of laws pertaining to the environment could have an adverse impact on the profitability of the operations of Kord and Hua Yang


Hua Yang’s and Kord’s operations involve the use of certain toxic substances, including plastic resins, oil-based paints and cleaning solvents. Hua Yang and Kord are, and are likely to continue to be, subject to PRC national, provincial and local environmental protection laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations currently impose a uniform fee on industrial wastewater discharges and a graduated schedule of pollution fees for the discharge into the environment of waste substances in excess of applicable standards, require the payment of fines for violations of laws and regulations or decrees and provide for possible closure by the central, provincial or local government of any facility that fails to comply with orders requiring it to cease or cure certain activities deemed by such authorities to be causing environmental damage. Hua Yang and Kord currently dispose of their waste substances in a manner they believe is consistent with similarly-situated companies operating in the PRC.  There can be no assurance that Hua Yang and Kord will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and will avoid incurring the consequences of non-compliance, or that PRC authorities will not impose additional regulatory requirements that would necessitate additional expenditures for environmental compliance. Any such occurrence could have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang’s and Kord’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


The employees of Hua Yang and Kord are relatively transient which results in frequent turnover of employees


Substantially all of Hua Yang’s and Kord’s production workers are young women and men who come from various rural provinces in the PRC for the purpose of working for wages higher than are available in such rural regions.  These production workers typically work for Hua Yang and Kord for two to five years and then return to their communities.  In addition, approximately 10%-20% of the production workers do not return to Hua Yang and Kord each year after the Chinese New Year holiday, and Hua Yang and Kord must hire replacements.  If these production workers were able to earn similar wages in their home provinces or higher wages in other industries, Hua Yang and Kord could experience labor shortages or could be required to increase salaries to meet their labor needs, either of which could have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang’s and Kord’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


Risks Related to Doing Business in China


Hua Yang and Kord are based in Hong Kong, which is part of the People’s Republic of China, and Hua Yang and Kord manufacture all of their products in China.  Hua Yang’s manufacturing facilities are located in Shenzhen, China.  The following addresses some of the risks associated with doing business in China.


Because China does not have a well developed, comprehensive system of laws, it may be difficult for us and our subsidiaries to protect or enforce legal rights


Hua Yang has operations in China. While Hong Kong corporate law is based on English law and is well-developed, the Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value



-27-







as precedents, unlike the common law system in the U.S. China does not have a well-developed, consolidated body of law governing foreign investment enterprises. As a result, the administration of laws and regulations by government agencies may be subject to considerable discretion and variation.


In addition, the Chinese legal system relating to foreign investments is relatively new and continually evolving, and currently there can be no certainty as to the application of its laws and regulations in particular instances. Definitive regulations and policies with respect to such matters as the permissible percentage of foreign investment and permissible rates of equity returns have not yet been published, statements regarding these evolving policies have been conflicting, and any such policies, as administered, are likely to be subject to broad interpretation, discretion and modification, perhaps on a case-by-case basis. As the legal system in China develops with respect to these new types of enterprises, foreign investors may be adversely affected by new laws, changes to existing laws (or interpretations thereof) and the preemption of provincial or local laws by national laws. Enforcement of existing laws may be sporadic and implementation and interpretation thereof inconsistent. Furthermore, the Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing the laws that exist, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. Even where adequate laws exist in China, it may be impossible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of such laws, or to obtain enforcement of a judgment by a court of another jurisdiction. It is widely believed that China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, or WTO, should expedite the uniform interpretation and enforcement of laws throughout China. However, there can be no assurance that Hua Yang’s or Kord’s current or future activities in China will have a high degree of certainty under China’s legal system.


If Hua Yang and Kord are not able to obtain appropriate governmental support and approvals in China, they may not be able to conduct its business activities as planned


 Hua Yang and Kord’s activities in China may by law be subject, in some circumstances, to administrative review and approval by various national and local agencies of the Chinese government.  Although Hua Yang and Kord believe that the present level of support from local, provincial and national governmental entities enjoyed by Hua Yang and Kord benefits their operations in connection with administrative review and the receipt of approvals, there is no assurance that such approvals, when necessary or advisable in the future, will be forthcoming. The inability to obtain such approvals could have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang and Kord’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

INTRODUCTION


We are proposing to acquire all of the outstanding share capital of Hua Yang Holding Co. Limited, or Hua Yang, and Kord Holdings, Inc., or Kord, pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated November 30, 2005 by and among Grand, Hua Yang, Kord and Cornerstone Beststep International Limited, or Cornerstone Beststep.  The proposed acquisition contemplates a purchase price of $44,000,000 for the shares of Hua Yang and Kord.  The purchase price would be paid through the forgiveness of certain net indebtedness owned by affiliates of Mr. Jeff Hsieh Cheng, the sole beneficial owner of Cornerstone Beststep, to Grand and our subsidiaries, which is $2,329,706 on the date hereof, and the balance, $41,670,294 through the issuance of Series B Shares.  The net indebtedness owed to us may change before the closing.  Accordingly, the number of Series B Shares we will issue and the amount of the net indebtedness which we will forgive may change.  The Exchange Agreement is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A.

The completion of the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord is conditioned on the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders of Grand who are not affiliated with Cornerstone Beststep or Mr. Hsieh, the beneficial owner of Cornerstone Beststep.  In addition, under our articles of association, the issuance of the Series B Shares requires approval of our members.  We are now seeking such approval.  Finally, the Series B Shares will be convertible into a number of Ordinary Shares/Grand ADSs which will exceed 20% of the Grand ADSs currently outstanding.  In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i) (1)(c)(ii), we are also seeking approval by the members of the issuance of the Grand ADSs upon conversion of the Series B Shares into Ordinary Shares.



ACQUISITION OF HUA YANG AND KORD

(PROPOSAL 1)


Background of the acquisition


When we originally determined to combine Grand Toys International, Inc. with Playwell International Limited in November 2004, one of our principle reasons for pursuing the transaction was to create a vertically-integrated public company with greater revenues and assets which could serve as a platform for future expansion.  Following the completion of the combination with Playwell, we began to move forward with our strategy.  In September 2004, we acquired the rights to Binney & Smith’s Crayola dough line of products which increased our product offerings.  Then in February 2005, we acquired International Playthings which increased our distribution capability, particularly in the US.


After completion of these initial transactions, what we needed to complete our strategy was to add manufacturing operations.  The acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord represents the next step in our expansion program by bringing two well-established manufacturing companies with different expertise in the toy-related industries into the Grand group.   The acquisition will help us achieve our vertical strategy of having Grand become a leading manufacturer, developer and distributor of toy and toy-related products throughout the world.


Hua Yang and Kord were actually identified as potential acquisition candidates in early 2004, shortly after the Playwell combination was announced.  Both the management of Grand and Mr. Hsieh believed that the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord would complement and enhance our business and organization.  Unfortunately, at the time that Hua Yang and Kord were identified as potential acquisition candidates, we had not completed the reorganization merger or the Playwell acquisition.  We did not at that time have the financial or management resources to take on the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord.  Mr. Hsieh, therefore, determined to pursue the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord on his own which resulted in the acquisition of Hua Yang by Cornerstone Overseas, a company owned by Mr. Hsieh on 25th May, 2004 and Kord, on 14th June, 2004.  


Beginning in the early fall of 2004, representatives of Grand and Mr. Hsieh began substantive discussions regarding the potential contribution of certain assets of Cornerstone Overseas to us.  These assets included both Hua Yang and Kord.  As discussed in our proxy statement/prospectus dated 29th July, 2004, Hua Yang and Kord were acquired with the specific intention to contribute Hua Yang and Kord to us.  In late September and early October, 2004,



-29-







representatives of Mr. Hsieh and Grand discussed the assets to be contributed and a timeline for completing the transactions by the end of 2005.


As noted in our prospectus/proxy statement related to our reorganization merger and Playwell acquisition, it was the intention to contribute Hua Yang and Kord to Grand after completion of the reorganization merger and Playwell acquisition.  However, this did not happen immediately as both Hua Yang and Kord required an amount of attention and capital investment on the part of Mr. Hsieh to increase the efficiency and profitability of the operations of Hua Yang and Kord that we could not immediately provide.


On 23rd October, 2004, we received a written non-binding proposal from Cornerstone Overseas, a company owned by Mr. Hsieh, pursuant to which various assets beneficially owned by Mr. Hsieh, including Kord and Hua Yang, would be contributed to Grand in exchange for convertible preference shares (the “Proposed Cornerstone acquisition”).  Between 24th October and 18th November, 2004, various meetings and discussions took place regarding the Proposed Cornerstone acquisition.  However, after the 18th November, 2004 meeting, no further substantive discussions were held regarding the Proposed Cornerstone acquisition as the parties focused their efforts on the financing of the acquisition of International Playthings and the financing for another transaction which was subsequently abandoned.


Following our Annual General Meeting on 15th April, 2005 where, among other matters, the issuance of the Series A shares was approved, Mr. Hsieh and Grand resumed discussions regarding the contribution of Hua Yang and Kord.  The discussions were informal until 13th October, 2005 when we received a formal written offer from Cornerstone Beststep to contribute the shares of Hua Yang and Kord in exchange for $44 million payable through the forgiveness of indebtedness owed by affiliates of Cornerstone Beststep and the issuance of the Series B Shares.  The initial proposal for the Series B Shares contemplated a dividend of 6.5% per annum payable in our ADSs based upon a 30-day closing price average before the dividend date; a conversion price of 85% of the average closing price for the 30-day period preceding the announcement of the acquisition; and no right to force the conversion of the Series B Shares.

On 19th October, 2005, our board met to discuss the proposed terms of the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord and the retention of a firm to render an opinion as to the fairness of the transaction from a financial point of view.  At the meeting, the board unanimously authorized our officers to proceed with the negotiation of the acquisition and to retain Stephens Inc. to provide financial advisory services and render a fairness option with respect to the transaction.

Between 19th October, 2005 and 15th November, Mr. Hsieh and his representatives and Grand and its representatives, negotiated the material terms of the acquisition.  On 15th November, 2005, Mr. Hsieh and Grand agreed in principle as to the material terms upon which Hua Yang and Kord would be contributed to Grand.

On 1st November, 2005, we entered into an amendment to our engagement letter with Stephens to formalize the retention of Stephens as the board’s financial advisor in connection with, and to assist it in negotiating, the proposed transaction and to render a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction.

Between 7th November, 2005 and 29th November, 2005, Mr. Hsieh and his representatives and Grand and its representatives, negotiated the terms of the Exchange Agreement.


On 21st November, 2005, the board received substantially completed documentation relating to the proposed acquisition.  On 22nd November, 2005, the board met with representatives of Stephens and its US Counsel, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, and its Hong Kong Counsel, J. Chan, Yip, So & Partners.  The board was presented with a summary of the terms of the proposed acquisition.  Stephens then rendered to our board an oral opinion, subsequently confirmed by a written opinion dated as of 22nd November, that as of such date and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations described in its opinion, the consideration to be paid by us for Hua Yang and Kord was fair from a financial point of view to the disinterested shareholders of Grand, meaning those owners of Grand ADSs other than Cornerstone Beststep and its affiliates, including Mr. Hsieh.  The board, after considering the opinion of Stephens and Stephens’ related analysis and other factors it deemed relevant, including the economic terms of the proposed transaction, the benefits and risks of the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord, our recent financial and operating performance, prospects and projected financials, the other terms of the proposed Hua Yang and Kord transaction, the arm’s-length negotiations among



-30-







Grand and Mr. Hsieh regarding the proposed acquisition, general economic factors and specific factors relating to Grand’s industry, then adopted resolutions approving the Exchange Agreement, and subject to the approval of our members at the meeting, the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord, the issuance of the Series B Shares and the issuance of the Ordinary Shares/Grand ADSs upon conversion of the Series B Shares.

The Exchange Agreement, in substantially the same form as that approved at the 22nd November, 2005 board meeting, was executed on 30th November, 2005.


Grand’s reason for the acquisition


The acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord represents the next step in our expansion program.  It will bring two well-established manufacturing companies with different expertise in the toy-related industries into the Grand group.   Management believes that this will help us achieve our vertical strategy of having Grand become a leading manufacturer, developer and distributor of toy and toy-related products throughout the world. 


Hua Yang’s printing and packaging expertise is ideally suited to enable us to reach broader children’s markets with an expanded product line and also provide high-quality packaging capabilities for our products as well as products for third parties.   Kord is a leading party goods manufacturer and provides additional opportunities for us to expand beyond our core toy-product base.  Both companies have state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and under Grand’s management, we expect to bring more capacity and more profitability to Hua Yang and Kord, while taking advantage of operating synergies throughout our organization.


In addition to the factors cited above, in reaching our decision to approve the Exchange Agreement, the board of directors identified and considered a number of potential benefits for us and our members that supported the board’s decision.  The board also considered the risks of proceeding. These factors include both business and synergistic reasons.


The potential business and financial benefits to us include the following:


·

the implementation of the overall corporate strategy to find ways to enhance and diversify our business;


·

the potential for us to expand our products into party goods and paper products, utilizing both our portfolio of character licenses as well as the capacity to leverage Hua Yang and Kord’s inventory of in-house designs


·

the potential for the combination of Hua Yang and Kord’s manufacturing resources and our production, marketing and distribution presence in North America to create a vertically-integrated company with efficiencies of integration and scale that should provide a stronger vehicle for future expansion and product development;


·

the larger group of companies would be able to further leverage on the existing relationships that we have with licensors of proprietary names, characters and other intellectual property;


·

after 2005, the transaction will be accretive to our earnings and provide positive cash flow;


·

the wealth of toy industry experience in the new entity would allow us to significantly expand our product offerings from those currently offered by us; and


·

the acquisition would result in Grand being a larger, financially more stable company.


In addition to these potential benefits accruing to us from the acquisition, our board considered the results of the due diligence investigation of Hua Yang and Kord conducted by our management and legal counsel; and the financial analysis and presentation of Stephens’ Inc. delivered to the board of directors on 22nd November, 2005 that the transactions were fair, from a financial point of view, to the disinterested shareholders of Grand, those holders of our securities who are not affiliated with Mr. Hsieh.

Opinion of Stephens Inc.


On November 22, 2005, at a meeting of our board of directors held to approve the proposed acquisition, Stephens Inc., or Stephens, delivered to our board an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated November 22, 2005, to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to the various assumptions, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations described in its opinion, the consideration to be paid by us for the shares of Hua Yang and Kord in the acquisition is fair from a financial point of view to our disinterested shareholders, meaning those owners of Grand ADSs other than Cornerstone Beststep and its affiliates, including Mr. Hsieh.


The full text of Stephens’ opinion describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by Stephens. This opinion is attached as Annex B.  Stephens’ opinion is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the acquisition to our disinterested shareholders and does not address any other aspect of the acquisition. The opinion does not address the relative merits of the acquisition as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to us or our underlying business decision to effect the acquisition. The opinion does not constitute a recommendation to you or any member of Grand as to how to vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the acquisition.  You are encouraged to read this opinion carefully in its entirety.  Stephens’ opinion does not speak as of any date other than the date of that opinion.  Stephens’ opinion does not reflect any developments that may occur or may have occurred after the date of the opinion, including (but not limited to) any changes in the operations and prospects of Grand, Hua Yang or Kord, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may influence the value of Grand, Hua Yang or Kord.  We do not currently expect to request an updated opinion from Stephens. The summary of Stephens’ opinion described below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its opinion.


In connection with rendering its opinion, Stephens:


(i)

analyzed certain publicly available financial statements and reports regarding Grand;


(ii)

analyzed certain internal financial statements and other financial and operating data (including financial projections) concerning Grand prepared by management of Grand;


(iii)

reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for Grand ADSs;


(iv)

analyzed certain financial statements and reports regarding Hua Yang and Kord;


(v)

analyzed certain internal financial statements and other financial and operating data (including financial projections) concerning Hua Yang and Kord prepared by the managements of Hua Yang and Kord;


(vi)

compared the financial performance of Hua Yang and Kord with that of certain comparable publicly-traded companies and their securities;


(vii)

reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain comparable transactions;


(viii)

reviewed the Exchange Agreement and related documents;


(ix)

discussed with management of Grand the operations and financial condition of and the future



-34-







business prospects for Grand and the anticipated financial consequences of the acquisition to Grand;

 

(x)

discussed with the managements of Hua Yang and Kord the operations and financial condition of and the future business prospects for Kord and Hua Yang and the anticipated financial consequences of the acquisition to Hua Yang and Kord;


(xi)

discussed with management of Grand and the managements of Hua Yang and Kord the relationships among Cornerstone Beststep, Grand, Hua Yang and Kord and their respective affiliates;


 (ii)

analyzed, on a pro forma basis, the effect of the acquisition on Grand’s balance sheet, income statement, and earnings both in the aggregate and, where applicable, on a per share basis;


(xiii)

assisted in Grand’s deliberations regarding the material terms of the acquisition and its negotiations with Cornerstone Beststep; and


(xiv)

performed such other analyses, considered such other factors and provided such other services as Stephens deemed appropriate.


Stephens relied on and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the information provided by Grand, Hua Yang and Kord, and its opinion is based upon such information. Stephens inquired into the reliability of such information only to the limited extent necessary to provide a reasonable basis for its opinion, recognizing that it was rendering only an informed opinion and not an appraisal or certification of value.  With respect to the financial projections prepared by management of Grand and the managements of Hua Yang and Kord, Stephens assumed that they had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of Grand and the managements of Hua Yang and Kord as to the future financial performance of Grand, Hua Yang and Kord, respectively.  Stephens’ opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated, and on the information made available to Stephens, as of the date of the opinion.   Further, for purposes of its opinion, Stephens assumed that the acquisition would be consummated on the terms set forth in the Exchange Agreement and that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the acquisition would be obtained without any adverse effects on Grand Toys, Hua Yang and Kord, or the expected benefits of the acquisition, in any way meaningful to its analyses.


In connection with rendering its opinion to our board of directors, Stephens performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses which are summarized below. The following summary is not a complete description of all analyses performed and factors considered by Stephens in connection with its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. With respect to the analyses of selected public companies and the analysis of selected precedent transactions summarized below, no company or transaction used as a comparison is either identical or directly comparable to Grand, Hua Yang or Kord, or the acquisition. These analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading or acquisition values of the companies concerned.


Stephens believes that its analyses and the summary below must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Stephens’ analyses and opinion. None of the analyses performed by Stephens was assigned greater significance or relied upon to a greater extent by Stephens than any other. Stephens arrived at its ultimate opinion based on its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole. Stephens did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis for purposes of its opinion.


The estimates of the future performance of Grand, Hua Yang and Kord in or underlying Stephens’ analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those



-35-







estimates. In performing its analyses, Stephens considered industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Grand, Hua Yang or Kord. Estimates of the financial value of companies do not necessarily purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which companies or securities actually may be sold.  Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses.  Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, neither Grand, Stephens or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast.


The terms of the acquisition were determined through negotiations between Grand and Cornerstone Beststep and the decision to enter into the acquisition was solely that of Grand’s board of directors.  Stephens’ opinion and financial analyses were only one of many factors considered by Grand’s board of directors in its evaluation of the acquisition and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of Grand’s board of directors or management with respect to the acquisition.


The following is a brief summary of the material financial analyses performed by Stephens and reviewed with Grand’s board of directors in connection with its opinion relating to the proposed merger.


Analysis of Consideration


Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the purchase price for the share capital of Hua Yang and Kord is $44 million.  Grand will satisfy the payment of the consideration by: 1) the issuance of approximately $41.5 million Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep, and 2) the forgiveness of approximately $2.5 million (as of 9/30/05) of an existing obligation owed by affiliates of Cornerstone Beststep to Grand and its subsidiaries.  In addition to acquiring the share capital, Grand will assume approximately $29.8 million of debt (as of 9/30/05).  


Stephens analyzed the terms of the proposed Series B Shares by: 1) comparing the principal terms including the dividend rate, dividend consideration, conversion price, optional conversion terms, mandatory conversion terms, registration rights, and voting rights to similar convertible preferred securities issued in the current market by companies similar to Grand, and 2) performing a theoretical pricing analysis of Series B Shares using the Black-Scholes Model. Analysis of comparable securities in the current market indicated that the proposed terms of the Series B Preferred Shares are comparable with the terms of convertible preferred securities in the current market.  In addition, the theoretical pricing analysis generated a reference theoretical dividend rate range that was comparable with the dividend rate of the Series B Shares.  The Black-Scholes Model is a complicated mathematical formula that is widely used to estimate the theoretical value of the option component of a security. The Black-Scholes Model relies on several key assumptions, including the volatility of the security underlying the option, the risk-free rate of return on the date of issuance and the estimated time period until exercise of the option.  The Black-Scholes Model provides a theoretical estimate of value which might not reflect the actual market value of the option component of a security at any given time.  In addition, Stephens analyzed the liquidity of the Series B Shares and the liquidity of the Grand ADSs.


Comparable Company Analysis


Stephens examined the trading multiples of public companies which, in its opinion, were most similar to Hua Yang and Kord in terms of their business operations.  Hua Yang and Kord are involved in two principal businesses:  1) specialty printing and packaging (Hua Yang), and 2) party goods manufacturing and distribution (Kord).  Stephens examined trading multiples of public companies by looking at both:  1) publicly traded companies in the specialty printing and packaging industry, and 2) publicly traded companies in the party goods industry.  Stephens compared selected financial data of Hua Yang and Kord with corresponding data of these publicly held companies.  


Stephens analyzed the following publicly held companies in the specialty printing and packaging industry:


·

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company

·

Quebecor World Inc.



-36-







·

Graphic Packaging Corp.

·

Cenveo, Inc.

·

Chesapeake Corporation

·

Hung, Hing Printing Group Ltd

·

Courier Corporation

·

Cadmus Communications Corp.

·

SNP Leefung Holdings Ltd

·

Fung, Choi Printing & Packaging Group

·

Starlite Holdings Ltd.

·

New Island Printing

·

Chung Tai Printing Holdings Ltd

·

Cheong Ming Investments


In addition, Stephens analyzed the following publicly held companies in the party goods industry:


·

American Greetings

·

CSS Industries, Inc.

·

Celebrate Express, Inc.

·

Factory Card & Party Outlet Corporation

·

iParty Corp.

·

CTI Industries Corp.


Stephens reviewed and analyzed certain public market trading multiples for these public companies engaged in businesses similar to Hua Yang’s and Kord’s primary businesses and derived an implied value for Hua Yang and Kord based on this information.


Stephens reviewed stock prices, public equity market values, and enterprise values (defined as public equity market value plus total book value of debt, total book value of preferred stock and minority interest less cash and other short term investments) of the selected companies as multiples of revenue, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and net income for the last twelve months ending September 30, 2005 or the most recent period available (“LTM”), and estimated calendar year 2005.  Estimates of revenue, EBITDA, and net income for calendar year 2005 for the comparable companies were based on selected equity research reports.  Stephens then compared data derived from the selected companies with corresponding data for Hua Yang and Kord.  


A summary of the reference range of market trading multiples that Stephens used for the specialty printing and packaging business is set forth below:


Enterprise Value / LTM Revenue

  

0.7x  0.9x

  

Enterprise Value / LTM EBITDA

  

6.0x – 7.0x

  

Market Equity Value / LTM Net Income

  

14.0x – 18.0x

   

Enterprise Value / 2005E Revenue

  

0.9x – 1.1x

   

Enterprise Value / 2005E EBITDA

  

7.0x – 8.0x

Market Equity Value / 2005E Net Income

  

12.0x – 18.0x


A summary of the reference range of market trading multiples that Stephens used for the party goods business is set forth below:


Enterprise Value / LTM Revenue

  

0.7x - 0.8x

  

Enterprise Value / LTM EBITDA

  

6.5x – 7.5x

  

Market Equity Value / LTM Net Income

  

12.0x – 17.0x

   

Enterprise Value / 2005E Revenue

  

0.8x – 0.9x

   

Enterprise Value / 2005E EBITDA

  

6.0x – 7.5x

   

Market Equity Value / 2005E Net Income

  

13.0x – 16.0x


This comparable companies’ analysis yielded an enterprise value reference range for Hua Yang and Kord of between approximately $46.0 million and $79.7 million.


Stephens noted that no company reviewed was identical to Hua Yang and Kord and that, accordingly, these analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of Hua Yang and Kord and other factors that would affect the values of comparable companies, including the size and demographic and economic characteristics of the markets of each company and the competitive environment in which it operates. Mathematical analysis (such as determining the average or median) is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable company data.


Precedent Acquisitions Analysis


Stephens reviewed implied enterprise and equity values for selected transactions involving companies in the:  1) printing and specialty packaging industry, and 2) the party goods manufacturing and distribution industry.  Stephens compared publicly available information for these selected transactions to the relevant financial statistics for Kord’s and Hua Yang’s businesses based on publicly available financial results for the latest available last twelve months prior to the announcement date to derive an implied value for Hua Yang and Kord.  In the specialty printing and packing industry, the group of transactions consisted of seventeen selected transactions.  In the party goods industry, the group of transactions consisted of five selected transactions.  For each transaction, Stephens analyzed, as of the announcement date of each transaction, the multiples implied by the transaction value of (i) enterprise value to the acquired company’s last twelve months revenue as of the date of announcement, (ii) enterprise value to the acquired company’s last twelve month’s EBITDA, and (iii) public equity value to the acquired company’s last twelve months net income.

This precedent transactions analysis yielded an enterprise value reference range for Hua Yang and Kord of between approximately $52.0 million and $77.8 million.


Stephens noted that the merger and acquisition transaction environment varies over time because of macroeconomic factors such as interest rate and equity market fluctuations and microeconomic factors such as industry results and growth expectations. Stephens noted that no company or transaction reviewed was identical to the proposed acquisition and that, accordingly, these analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of Hua Yang and Kord and other factors that would affect the acquisition values in the comparable transactions, including the size and demographic and economic characteristics of the markets of each company and the competitive environment in which it operates. Mathematical analysis (such as determining the average or median) is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable transaction data.


Discounted Cash Flow Analysis


Stephens performed a discounted cash flow analysis on Hua Yang and Kord using management projections for fiscal years 2006 through 2010. This valuation analysis calculates current values for Kord and Hua Yang based on their projected financial performance and resulting estimated cash flows.  Stephens calculated an implied net present value of free cash flows for Hua Yang and Kord for fiscal years 2006 through 2010 using discount rates ranging from 15.0% to 17.50%. The discount rates used were based on a weighted average cost of capital analysis of Hua Yang and Kord performed by Stephens.  Stephens calculated an implied terminal value in the year 2010 based on EBITDA multiples ranging from 6.0x-7.0x, and discounted these terminal values to an implied present value using the above-stated discount rates.  This discounted cash flow analysis yielded an enterprise value reference range for Hua Yang and Kord of between approximately $67.2 million and $83.1 million.


Leveraged Buyout Analysis


Stephens performed a leveraged buyout analysis on Hua Yang and Kord using projections developed by management for calendar years 2006 through 2010.  This analysis calculates current values for Hua Yang and Kord based on the value that a hypothetical new equity investor would be willing to pay for Hua Yang and Kord in order to generate acceptable internal rates of return. Based on a range of target internal rates of return of 25.0% to 30.0% for the hypothetical equity investor, leverage of approximately 4.0x calendar 2005 EBITDA, and a five-year EBITDA exit multiple of 6.0x to 7.0x, the analysis yielded enterprise values for Hua Yang and Kord of $59.6 million to $71.1 million.


Pro Forma Impact to Grand




-39-







Stephens analyzed the pro forma impact of the acquisition on Grand operating statistics, and projected earnings per share in 2006 through 2008.  Stephens’ analysis indicated that after payment of the consideration, that the acquisition would improve Grand’s revenue, EBITDA, and net income from 2006 through 2008.  Furthermore, Stephens’ analysis indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to Grand’s estimated earnings per share in 2006 through 2008 based on generally accepted accounting principles.


Fees


As compensation for services in connection with the acquisition, which include the issuance of the fairness opinion, Grand has agreed to pay Stephens a fee of $150,000 and reimburse it for all out of pocket expenses incurred in performing these services. In addition, Grand has agreed to indemnify Stephens against certain liabilities that could arise from providing financial advice, including certain liabilities that could arise from providing the fairness opinion. Stephens also has performed various investment banking activities for Grand in the past.  Over the past year, Grand has paid Stephens approximately $150,000 in connection with these services.  In the ordinary course of business, Stephens may actively trade in the equity securities of Grand for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE  THE ACQUISITION OF HUA YANG AND KORD.




-40-







ISSUANCE OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERENCE SHARES

(PROPOSAL 2)


If our members approve the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord, we will be required to issue up to 11,465,798 Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep based upon a purchase price of $44,000,000.  However, after taking into account the net indebtedness owed by affiliates of Mr. Hsieh to Grand and its subsidiaries, we anticipate issuing approximately 10,858,709 Series B Shares to Cornerstone Beststep.  The principal terms of the Series B Shares are as follows:


Dividend:

Cumulative dividends of four and three-quarters percent (4.75%) per annum


Dividend Payment:

Semi-annual on each of 30th June and 31st December, subject to limitations imposed by law payable, at the option of Grand in cash or Grand ADSs determined by dividing the accrued dividend by $1.543 (which amount represents the average closing price of the Grand ADSs for the 30 trading days ending on 29th November, 2005, the day prior to the announcement of the acquisition)


Voluntary Conversion:

Holders of the Series B Shares shall have the right to convert the Series B Shares at any time into Ordinary Shares which will be represented by an equivalent number of Grand ADSs.  The conversion rate will be 2.6886899 Ordinary Shares/Grand ADSs for each Series B Share converted (the “Conversion Rate”).  The conversion rate was based upon a conversion price of US$1.427275 per Series B Share (the “Conversion Price”), which Conversion Price equaled 92.5% of the average closing price of Grand ADSs for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on 29th November, 2005.


Upon the conversion of the Series B Shares, Grand is required to pay all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Shares converted in cash or Grand ADSs as provided above.


Conversion by

Grand:

Grand has the right to require the conversion of the Series B Shares if Grand ADSs have traded at US$2.8733 per Grand ADS, for at least 45 days prior to the date Grand determines to require conversion unless has engaged in a public offering resulting in proceeds of not less than US$50,000,000, in which case the trading premium shall not apply.


Liquidation Preference:

Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Grand, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series B Shares will have liquidation rights preferential to those of holders of Ordinary Shares but junior to the holders of Grand’s Series A Shares.  Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Grand, the assets of Grand available for distribution to the members shall be applied:


·

first, to pay the Series A Preference Shareholder(s) an amount equal to US$3.8375 per Series A Share, and if the assets of Grand are insufficient to pay such amount, then pro rata to the holders of the Series A Shares;

·

second, to pay all arrears and accruals of dividends on the Series A Shares;



-41-







·

third, to pay the Series B Preference Shareholder(s) an amount equal to US$3.8375 per Series B Share, and if the assets of Grand are insufficient to pay such amount, then pro rata to the holders of the Series B Shares;

·

fourth, to pay all arrears and accruals of dividends on the Series B Shares; and

·

fifth, to pay the holders of Ordinary Shares any surplus assets which shall be distributed ratably amongst such holders according to the amounts paid up thereon.

Voting Rights:

Series B Shares will entitle the holder(s) thereof to 2.6886899 votes on a poll, or a maximum of 30,827,976 votes if all 11,465,798 Series B Shares to be authorized are issued.


Registration Rights:

The holders of the Series B Shares will be entitled to demand registration of the Grand ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Series B Shares on five (5) occasions and unlimited piggyback rights.


Consequences of the failure to issue the Series B Shares

Before giving voting instructions on Proposal 2, each holder of Grand ADSs should consider the fact that in, the absence of approval of the issuance of the Series B Shares, we will not be able to acquire Hua Yang and Kord.

The board considered these disadvantages and consequences in connection with its decision to approve the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord and the issuance of the Series B Shares.

Nasdaq requirements for member approval

We are required to seek our members’ approval of the issuance of the Series B Shares, among other things, in order to ensure compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350.  Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(C)(ii) requires our members’ approval in connection with an acquisition transaction involving the issuance of securities where the amount of stock being issued is equal to 20% or more of the issuer’s shares outstanding before such issuance.

If our members approve the issuance of the Series B Shares, they will also be approving the issuance of the Ordinary Shares/Grand ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Series B Shares.  The Ordinary Shares/Grand ADSs issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Shares would result in the issuance by us of Ordinary Shares/Grand ADSs equal to or greater than 20% of the Ordinary Shares/Grand ADSs outstanding prior to acquisition.


Members’ approval under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules requires the vote of a simple majority of the shares present at any meeting and entitled to vote.  However, our articles of association require the approval of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast at the meeting.  Since Centralink beneficially owns approximately 65% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares and since Mr. Hsieh controls Centralink, we believe that Centralink will vote, or instruct the depositary to vote, in favor of Proposal 2.  Proposal 2 will be approved if the beneficial owners of approximately 10% of the remaining Ordinary Shares also instruct the depositary to vote in favor of Proposal 2.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE GRAND TO ISSUE THE SERIES B SHARES.

INFORMATION ABOUT HUA YANG AND KORD



Business of Hua Yang



Hua Yang Holdings Company Limited is a limited company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands.  Through its subsidiaries’ manufacturing facilities located in Shenzhen, China, Hua Yang manufactures a variety of paper and board products, including books, specialty packaging and other paper products.  


Products


Books.  Hua Yang manufactures "Pop-up" books containing custom die-cut, folded and glued paper pieces that, when the book is opened, "pop" out of the book in three dimensions. These products typically retail in the U.S. for between $5 and $50. Most of Hua Yang's "pop-up" books are targeted at children, but there is a small segment that targets the adult and young adult markets.


Novelty books, sometimes also referred to as "book-plus", incorporate an extra or unusual element. These elements often make the book interactive or provide play value. For example, novelty books may include an electronic device, a noisemaker, plastic, vinyl, textured or scented materials, or a plush toy.


Board books are usually die-cut or punched into an unusual shape, thus requiring hand-assembly. These books are made of heavyweight, stiff paperboard, are durable in nature, and usually target the children's market. Often board books come in a set of three or more titles and are grouped together in a hand-assembled slip case, sleeve or custom made box. These books are sold through toy and bookstores, authorized dealers and other channels.


Specialty packaging.  Specialty packaging includes paperboard and E-flute (corrugated) boxes and, to a lesser extent, blister cards and inserts. Box packaging often requires advanced printing techniques, including five- and six-color printing, foil hot stamping, spot or total coating, varnishing, embossing and lamination. After printing, boxes are die-cut to shape with a dropout window often included. PVC sheets, which also are cut to shape and often incorporate some silk screen printing, are glued in place by hand in the dropout windows. Blister cards are simple backing boards used in a plastic blister pack while insert cards are printed pieces of board used as backing or filler inside a larger packaging box.


Specialty packaging is produced for certain manufacturers and other marketers to protect products during shipment and to exhibit products for sale in retail stores.


Other paper products.  Other paper products manufactured by Hua Yang include puzzles, board games, photo albums, stationery sets and activity packs, all of which require hand assembly.


These products are targeted at children, young adult and adult markets. These products are sold through hobby shops, authorized dealers, book and gift stores, as well as through other channels.


Market for Products


Sales of Hua Yang’s products are divided equally among Hong Kong, the United States and Europe.  Major customers for Hua Yang include Cranium Inc., Jetta Company Limited, Imago Publishing Limited, Intervisual Books Inc. and Mattel.  The buying and ordering cycles for specialty packaging and books differ. With regard to specialty packaging, in November or December, Hua Yang reviews with its two core packaging customers, Mattel and Jetta, such customers' anticipated packaging needs for the upcoming year. By the beginning of the calendar year, both of the core customers will provide Hua Yang with dollar and unit allocations for the year. These allocations will be based on Hua Yang's past performance, capacity and technical capability vis-a-vis the designs requested by the customer. Every week thereafter, Hua Yang will receive purchase orders covering the next four to six weeks. Firm orders and packaging planning rarely extend beyond six weeks.




-43-







The buying and ordering cycles for books varies and is much longer than specialty packaging, with most activity grouped around the Frankfurt Book Fair held in Germany every October and the Children's Book Fair held in Bologna, Italy every April. The fairs are a time for customers of Hua Yang to present their new book concepts to potential buyers and confirmed sales are usually realized three to six weeks after each fair. Once these customers have confirmed sales, they turn to printers, such as Hua Yang, to reserve production capacity. Orders for reprints of old titles, however, can be booked anytime during the year, but generally fall outside of the peak summer production months.


Paper, ink and glue are the principal raw materials used by Hua Yang in the manufacture of books, specialty packaging and other paper products. Hua Yang uses many types of coated paper and board in a variety of grades, depending on customers' quality and price requirements. Hua Yang purchases most of its paper from U.S., Asian and European suppliers, but generally places orders through trading companies or agents in Hong Kong Additionally, Hua Yang acquires a small amount of paper from local sources in Hong Kong and PRC. Ink and glue

are ordered locally in Hong Kong.


Business Strategy


Hua Yang’s goal is to be the leading manufacturer of books, specialty packaging and other paper products for the premier designers and marketers of such items.  Hua Yang’s strategy calls for continuous strengthening of its relationships with its multi-national customers and increasing and diversifying its customer base. To achieve these goals, Hua Yang has focused on the following:


Develop additional major customers


Currently, Hua Yang has a core group of large customers, but it also manufactures products for many other smaller customers.  Hua Yang expects that it may be able to develop several of these smaller customers into major customers as they become familiar with the benefits of Hua Yang’s turnkey manufacturing service.  Hua Yang offers major customers a dedicated production team and dedicated production space, which can provide such customers with attractive advantages. For example, Hua Yang can customize its production facilities to meet the specific needs of its customers, and the customers are able to exercise greater control over the production process, thereby enhancing quality control and cost efficiency, increasing confidentiality and expediting scheduling and delivery timetables.  Hua Yang believes that its ability to offer such dedicated production services has led to enhanced relationships with its core customer base.


Diversify product offerings


Hua Yang intends to diversify its product offerings to include the manufacture of other consumer products that utilize its current competitive advantages and production expertise. Further, new product lines are expected to decrease seasonality that has been experienced historically. By diversifying into product lines in which the demand timing is seasonal, the utilization of manufacturing facilities can improve, thereby improving profitability.


Deploy advanced management information systems


Hua Yang seeks to enhance its manufacturing and business processes through the deployment of advanced management information systems that enable the real-time monitoring and management of its operating and financial performance and resources.  


Seasonality


Hua Yang’s operating results in the past have fluctuated in part based on seasonal factors and this seasonality likely will continue in the future.


Hua Yang ceases production for a two-week period during January or February of each year due to the Chinese New Year holiday, which is partially responsible for net sales during the fourth fiscal quarter of each year being lower than net sales during the other three fiscal quarters.



-44-








Hua Yang may also experience fluctuations in quarterly revenues and related net income due to the timing of receipt of orders from customers and the shipment of products. Sales of books are weighted toward the Christmas season; as a result, book sales in the second half of the fiscal year are generally higher than in the first half.


Manufacturing


Hua Yang's customers seek suppliers that can manufacture high-quality products in both large quantities and limited runs, in a timely and cost-effective manner. In addition, Hua Yang's customers seek to eliminate the cost, time and complexity of identifying and managing multiple vendors to develop and produce a product. For example, book customers often must turn to trading houses, brokers or service intermediaries for component sourcing, product development and engineering. The need to coordinate several different companies in the manufacturing process can cause production delays, inefficiencies in the management of multiple contractors and quality and reliability problems.


Hua Yang's full service, value-added approach to manufacturing addresses these customers needs as follows:


High-quality production


Hua Yang uses modern computer-aided design and manufacturing equipment to produce high-quality products. Hua Yang also employs a highly trained workforce, including skilled, technically trained craftsmen and other capable

but relatively inexpensive laborers for its manufacturing and assembly operations under the guidance of experienced management. Hua Yang ensures quality through rigorous quality control procedures at each step of the production process. Hua Yang has an employee training program geared specifically toward inspection and quality control.


Turnkey manufacturing service


Hua Yang offers a fully integrated turnkey manufacturing service.  With this service, Hua Yang integrates component sourcing, product development and engineering, design, model and mold making, and manufacturing, assembling and packaging of the finished product.  This enables Hua Yang to meet all of a customer's needs and eliminates the need for intermediaries. Hua Yang is able to shorten the lead-time from design to product delivery and to lower product cost while maintaining high quality and reliability.


Commitment to efficiency


Hua Yang continually strives to increase efficiency and reduce costs for the benefit of Hua Yang and its customers. To date, Hua Yang has been able to achieve efficiencies by locating its production facilities in the PRC, vertically integrating its production processes and working in close cooperation with its customers.


Manufacturing Facility


Hua Yang's manufacturing operations are conducted in a production facility located in Shenzhen, PRC.  The Shenzhen Facility includes: (1) a pre-press area, press rooms and print finishing area, (2) die-cut, trimming, guillotining and punching areas, (3) packaging and book hand assembly areas, (4) a warehouse and (5) dormitory and dining facilities. The press rooms operate on a two-shift basis with seven advanced German presses delivering up to six-color printing capability. The die-cut department also runs on a two-shift basis during the peak season. Hand assembly for both packaging and books generally works one shift, adding an additional shift during the peak season. Packaging and books account for most of the total work force and production areas.


The Shenzhen facility has an aggregate of approximately 41,980 square meters of manufacturing space and approximately 23,068 square meters of dormitory space.  A co-operative joint venture was established in the PRC to own and operate the Shenzhen facility; the partners are Hua Yang Printing Holding Company Limited and Goshu Economic Development Company, an entity that is controlled by PRC governmental bodies.  Hua Yang leases its factory buildings at the Shenzhen facility.  The joint venture has a term of 15 years, expiring in October 2010.  Under the joint venture agreement, Hua Yang possesses substantive participating rights and is entitled to 100% of



-45-







the joint venture's profits, after paying the joint venture partner a pre-determined annual fee.  At the end of the joint venture term, Hua Yang will continue to own the other assets of the joint venture, but the land and factory buildings currently used to conduct the business of the joint venture will revert to the joint venture partner.


The plants and equipment owned and operated or leased by Hua Yang are subject to comprehensive PRC laws and regulations that involve substantial risks.


Raw Materials


Paper, ink and glue are the principal raw materials used by Hua Yang in the manufacture of books, specialty packaging and other paper products. Hua Yang uses many types of coated paper and board in a variety of grades, depending on customers' quality and price requirements. Hua Yang purchases a majority of its paper from U.S., Asian and European suppliers, but generally places orders through trading companies or agents in Hong Kong Additionally, Hua Yang acquires a small amount of paper from local sources in Hong Kong and PRC. Ink and glue

are ordered locally in Hong Kong.


Intellectual Property


Hua Yang has no registered trademarks in respect of its manufacturing businesses.  Hua Yang received U.S. utility patent on a novelty book product.  Hua Yang's key employees have entered into confidentiality agreements with Hua Yang.


Competition


Hua Yang faces significant competition in its business.  In "pop-up" books, Hua Yang competes with contract manufacturers located in Southeast Asia and South America. In novelty and board books as well as specialty packaging, Hua Yang competes with contract manufacturers located in Hong Kong and other parts of the PRC. In addition, Hua Yang competes with customers that have the capability to manufacture their products internally.


Hua Yang believes that there are several factors that provide the basis of competition in the manufacturing of its products, including: price, quality, technical capabilities, production capabilities and on-time delivery.  Hua Yang believes that it can maintain its competitive advantage through the effective use of its expanded facilities. Hua Yang also expects increased competition from other industry participants that may seek to enter one or more of Hua Yang's high margin product segments. Many existing and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than Hua Yang.


Hua Yang does not believe that there are any significant barriers to entry into the light manufacturing business. Hua Yang has no registered trademarks in respect of its manufacturing businesses.  Although Hua Yang has received a U.S. utility patent on one of its novelty book products, Hua Yang does not characterize its business as proprietary and does not own any copyrights or possess any material trade secrets.  Accordingly, additional participants may enter the market at any time.


In addition, certain of Hua Yang's customers manufacture a substantial portion of their products internally. Any determination by a principal customer to manufacture new products internally or to move manufacturing from Hua Yang to another third party would have a material adverse effect on Hua Yang's business, financial condition and results of operations.


Governmental Regulation


Hua Yang’s business activities are subject to various governmental regulations in countries in which it operates, including regulations relating to business/investment approvals, export regulations including those related to national security considerations, tariffs, antitrust, intellectual property, consumer and business taxation, exchange controls, and environmental and recycling requirements.

2.

Subject to Section 12.01, Grand (the “Indemnitor”) agrees, promptly upon the determination of Damages, to indemnify and hold Cornerstone, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (the “Indemnitees”), from and against all Damages resulting, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

a)

any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty made by Grand in this Agreement or any agreement or instrument delivered in connection with the Transaction without giving effect to any supplement or amendment to the Schedules or other notice delivered or required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.04; and

b)

any breach by Grand of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Indemnitor contained in this Agreement.

C.

Procedure for Indemnification

.

1.

Third Party Claims.

a)

Promptly after receipt by the Party claiming a right to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any Action by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to any matter for which indemnification is or may be owing pursuant to Section 12.02, the Indemnitee will give notice thereof to the Party against which it is seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitor”); provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnitee to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim has been actually prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to give such notice.

b)

If any Action referred to in Section 12.03(a)(i) is brought against an Indemnitee and it gives notice to the Indemnitor of the commencement of such Action, the Indemnitor will, unless the Action involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Action, and (unless (x) the Indemnitor is also a party to such Action and the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate upon the advice of outside counsel that a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor with respect to such Action, or (y) the Indemnitor fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to defend such Action and provide indemnification with respect to such Action) may assume the defense of such Action with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee and, after notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such Action, the Indemnitor will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnitee under this Article XII for any fees of other counsel with respect to the defense of such Action, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Action.

c)

If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of an Action, (x) no compromise or settlement of the Third Party



12





Claim or Action may be effected by the Indemnitor without the Indemnitee’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and the compromise or settlement will have no effect on, or provide, grounds for the basis of, any other Third Party Claims that may be made against the Indemnitee, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor; and (y) the Indemnitee will have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Claims or Action effected without Indemnitee’s consent.  Notwithstanding the assumption by the Indemnitor of the defense of any Claim or Action as provided in this Section 12.03(a)(iii), the Indemnitee will be permitted to join in such defense and to employ counsel at its own expense.  If notice pursuant to Section 12.03(a)(i) is given to an Indemnitee of the commencement of any Action and the Indemnitor does not, within ten (10) days after such Indemnitee’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such Action, the Indemnitor will be bound by any determination made in such Action or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnitee.

d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnitee determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an Action may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary Damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee may, by notice to the Indemnitor, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Action, but the Indemnitor will not be bound by any determination of an Action so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

e)

Indemnitor and Indemnitee agree to provide each other with reasonable access during regular business hours to the properties, Books and Records and Representatives of the other, as reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation for an existing or anticipated Action involving a Third Party Claim and its obligations with respect thereto pursuant to this Article XII.

2.

Direct Claims.  Any claim by an Indemnitee for indemnification not involving a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by giving the Indemnitor notice thereof.  If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnitor disputes its Liability to the Indemnitee under Section 12.02, the claim specified by the Indemnitee in such notice will be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnitor under Section 12.02 and the Indemnitor will pay the amount of such Liability to the Indemnitee on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date as the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

D.

Payment

.  With respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is payable hereunder, Indemnitor will pay Indemnitee promptly after (i) the entry of judgment against the Indemnitee and the expiration of any applicable appeal period; (ii) the entry of a non-appealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnitee; or (iii) the execution of any settlement agreement with respect to such Third Party Claim.  



13





E.

Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge or Waiver

.

1.

The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based upon breach of representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation.

2.

The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, agreement or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations.

F.

Sole and Exclusive Remedy

.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the absence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of warranty or covenant, indemnification pursuant to this Article XII will be the exclusive remedy of each Party against the other for the matters subject to indemnification set forth in this Article XII and will be in lieu of other remedies with respect thereto.

G.

Limitations on Liability

.

1.

No Person seeking to be indemnified hereunder will be entitled to any recovery from the proposed Indemnitor unless a claim for indemnification, specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known, is made on or before the expiration of time period for survival set forth in Section 12.01.

2.

No Party shall be liable to indemnify the other Party for Damages in excess of US$8,800,000 or the equivalent thereof in other currencies with respect to a Direct Claim based upon the circumstances described in clause (i) of Sections 12.02(a) and 12.02(b).  The foregoing limitation shall not apply to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(ii), 12.02(b)(ii) or Section 12.01(a)(iii), or with respect to any Liability resulting from a breach of Sections 3.02, 3.10, 3.11, 3.19(c), 4.06, 4.07, 5.05 and 5.10.

3.

No Party shall be liable to indemnify the other Party for Damages in excess of the Purchase Price or the equivalent thereof in other currencies with respect to all Claims.  The foregoing limitation shall not apply to any claim for indemnification with respect to any Liability resulting from a breach of Sections 3.02, 3.10, 3.11, 3.19(c), 4.06, 4.07, 5.05 and 5.10.

4.

No Party shall be liable to indemnify the other Party for Damages with respect to a Direct Claim based upon the circumstances described in clause (i) of Sections 12.02(a) and 12.02(b):

(i)

to the extent that such Damages arise as a result only of an increase in rates of Tax made after Closing with retrospective effect; or




14





(ii)

to the extent that a note, provision, allowance or reserve in respect thereof was made in the Company Financial Statements or the Grand Financial Statements.


5.

Any claim for indemnification by Grand for a Direct Claim against Cornerstone shall be satisfied first by delivering a number of Escrow Shares equal to the amount of the Damages subject to indemnification, based upon the Market Price of the Grand ADSs into which each such Preference Share is convertible.

H.

Indemnification Threshold

.

1.

In the absence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of warranty, the Liability of an Indemnitor with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 12.02 shall not be payable unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages suffered or incurred by Indemnitee shall exceed one hundred fifty thousand United States dollars (US$150,000) or the equivalent thereof in other currencies, in which event the said amount shall be deducted from the actual amount of the Damages so suffered or incurred.

XIII.

(viii)

The Company shall be entitled at any time to give written notice to any Series B Preference Shareholder requiring it to convert the whole (and not part only) of its Series B Preference Shares into such number of Ordinary Shares as shall

Gentlemen:


We have acted as your financial advisor in connection with the proposed transaction pursuant to which Grand Toys International Limited (the “Company” or “Grand Toys”) will acquire the outstanding share capital of Hua Yang Holdings Company Limited (“Hua Yang”) and the outstanding share capital of Kord Holdings, Inc. (“Kord”) (collectively, the “Target”) from Cornerstone Beststep International Limited (“Cornerstone”) pursuant to an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among Grand Toys, Hua Yang, Kord and Cornerstone.  For purposes of this letter, the term “Exchange Agreement” shall mean and refer to the draft of the Exchange Agreement as furnished to us on November 17, 2005, which is the latest draft of the Exchange Agreement furnished to us; and the acquisition of Hua Yang and Kord by Grand Toys pursuant to the Exchange Agreement is referred to as the “Transaction”.   The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more fully set forth in the Exchange Agreement.

 

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the disinterested shareholders of the Company of the consideration to be paid by the Company for Hua Yang and Kord, collectively, in the Transaction.  For purposes of this opinion, the term "disinterested shareholders" means holders of the Company's American Depositary Shares representing beneficial ownership of the Company’s ordinary voting shares, other than Cornerstone and its Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Exchange Agreement).


In connection with rendering our opinion, we have:

(xiii)

We have relied on and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the information provided to us by the Company and the Target companies, and our opinion is based upon such information. We have inquired into the reliability of such information only to the limited extent necessary to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion, recognizing that we are rendering only an informed opinion and not an appraisal or certification of value.  With respect to the financial projections prepared by management of the Company and the managements of the Target companies, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the Company and the managements of the Target companies as to the future financial performance of the Company



-15-





and the Target companies.  Our opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated, and on the information made available to us, as of the date hereof.   Further, we have assumed that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Exchange Agreement and that all consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained or taken without any adverse effects on the Company or the Target companies, or the expected benefits of the Transaction, in any way meaningful to our analyses.


As part of our investment banking business, we regularly issue fairness opinions and are continually engaged in the valuation of companies and their securities in connection with business reorganizations, private placements, negotiated underwritings, mergers and acquisitions and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.  We are familiar with the Company and regularly provide investment banking services to companies in the consumer products industry.  In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates at any time may provide such services to the Company, the Target companies or their respective Affiliates and may hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions as principal or for the accounts of customers, in debt or equity securities or options on securities of the Company.  We have been engaged to provide investment banking services to the Company, and the Company has agreed to pay us retainer fees for providing services to the Company.  The Company has also agreed to pay us a fee for investment banking services in connection with the Transaction upon notification that we are prepared to issue a fairness opinion with respect to the Transaction.    In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse our expenses incurred in connection with our service as an investment banker for the Company and to indemnify us against certain liabilities that might arise out of the services provided to the Company by us.


Based on the foregoing and our general experience as investment bankers, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion on the date hereof that the consideration to be paid by the Company for the Target in the Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the disinterested shareholders of the Company.


This opinion is for the information and assistance of the board of directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Transaction.  Our opinion does not address the merits of the underlying decision by the Company to engage in the Transaction or the merits of the Transaction as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company.  This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to whether such shareholder should vote in favor of the Transaction or any other matter related thereto.


This opinion and a summary of our underlying analyses and role as your financial advisor may be included in communications to the Company's shareholders provided that we approve of such disclosures prior to publication.


Very truly yours,


STEPHENS INC.
