The Stock Exchange has received a message from Linmark Group Limited      
which is reproduced as follows:-

"This statement is made at the request of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong 
Limited.

We have noted the recent increases in the trading volume of the shares of 
the Company and wish to state that, save as disclosed below, we are not 
aware of any reasons for such movements.

A placing agreement ("Placing Agreement") was concluded on 19 May 2003 
pursuant to which RGS Holdings Limited ("RGS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of Roly International Holdings Ltd. ("Roly"), through Cazenove Asia 
Limited, a placing agent in Hong Kong, will sell 35,000,000 existing 
shares of par value US$0.02 each ("Linmark Sale Shares") in the capital of 
Linmark, representing 5.41% of the existing issued share capital of 
Linmark, to independent investors at a price of HK$2.08 for each Linmark 
Sale Share ("Transaction").  The Transaction is expected to be completed 
on 22 May 2003.

The sale price of HK$2.08 per Linmark Sale Share represents a discount of 
approximately 4.37% to the closing market price of the shares of par value 
US$0.02 each of Linmark (each, a "Linmark Share") traded on The Stock 
Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 19 May 2003.

Prior to the Transaction, Roly had, through RGS, an interest in 72.29% of 
the issued share capital of Linmark, comprising 468,000,000 Linmark 
Shares. Following the completion of the Transaction, Roly's interest in 
Linmark will be reduced to 66.88%, comprising 433,000,000 Linmark Shares.

Save for the above, we also confirm that there are no negotiations or 
agreements relating to intended acquisitions or realisations which are 
discloseable under paragraph 3 of the Listing Agreement, neither is the 
Board aware of any matter discloseable under the general obligation 
imposed by paragraph 2 of the Listing Agreement, which is or may be of a 
price-sensitive nature.

which individually and jointly accept responsibility for the accuracy of 
this statement.
