The Xpress Group commenced operations as a modest instant name card printer in

1986 but quickly propelled its business to successfully carve a niche in the

time-sensitive financial report printing market where it has built a strong

track record and market leadership over the last 15 years.

Incorporated in Singapore on 23 April 1999 as an investment holding company,

the Company changed its name to i-One.Net International Ltd on 25 May 1999 in

connection with its conversion into a public limited company and was listed on

the main board of the SGX-ST on 28 June 1999.

Subsequently, the Company changed its name to Xpress Holdings Ltd with effect

from 3 December 2001. This name change reflects the Company’s refocus on the

print media following its exit from the Internet kiosk business and captures

its continued spirit of providing time-sensitive printing services to the

financial sector. The Xpress name is also well known in the local and regional

financial community for the past decade and this change strengthens its

commitment to this market.

The Xpress Group provides a full spectrum of an integrated print solution from

pre-press processes to production systems as well as global distribution and

delivery. The products and services offered include the design, production and

printing of: -

· Time-sensitive & quick turnaround

publications

(eg. stock market research reports)

· Annual reports

· IPO Prospectuses

· Shareholder circulars

· Fund management reports

· Cross-media corporate collateral

(eg. brochures, newsletters, corporate video/CD-ROMs/websites)

Headquartered in Singapore, the Xpress Group’s activities span the Asia-Pacific

region with offices in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), Australia (Melbourne), Hong

Kong and China (Shenzhen).
