Dear Shareholders:

I am pleased to present to you the Man Sang Holdings, Inc. 2006 annual
report.

Our 2005/06 Performance
-----------------------
Our financial performance in fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflects
decline in demand from some regional markets for certain products and
the adverse impacts of a significant rise in bullion prices.

Sales Revenue Drop 8.2%
-----------------------
Sales revenue for the fiscal year totaled US$48.5 million,
representing a decrease of 8.2% compared to last year. The decrease in
sales is primarily due to decline in demand for South Sea pearls from
our US customers and, to a lesser extent, the strong upward swing of
bullion price affecting the sales of our assembled jewelry products.

Gross profit was US$13.6 million and gross profit margin was 28.0%,
comparing to a gross profit of US$15.0 million and a gross profit
margin of 28.4% last year, representing a decrease of 9.7% in gross
profit. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A expenses")
were US$9.9 million, representing a decrease of 16.9% when compared to
US$11.9 in fiscal 2005. The net income in fiscal 2006 decreased by
US$1.2 million to US$2.3 million, when compared to US$3.5 million for
fiscal 2005.

In order to ensure high quality of our pearls and jewelry products and
to achieve better sales performance results, we intend to continue our
efforts to maximize our core strengths in well-established purchasing
networks, effective sales channels, well-controlled operating costs,
improved processing techniques and skilful craftsmanship.

Balance Sheet and Ratios are Strong
-----------------------------------
The Company's balance sheet remained within its historical range, with
cash and cash equivalents totaling US$39.1 million on March 31, 2006
compared to US$31.2 million on March 31, 2005. The gearing ratio is
zero and the current ratio is 12.3.

In the year ahead, we intend to make continuous efforts to optimize
results and maximize shareholder value as well as uphold sound
corporate governance practices.

Looking Ahead
-------------
In 2006, the Company has committed to a project investment located in
Zhuji, Zhejiang, PRC (the "Zhuji Project"). Zhuji Municipal is one of
the largest freshwater pearls nurturing and trading centres in the PRC
supplying a comprehensive range of freshwater pearls and other pearls
products to both PRC and many countries in the world. The Zhuji
Project will involve building a new international marketplace together
with related facilities in Zhuji. Capturing the existing market
customer base in this existing marketplace, we expect the Zhuji
Project will further enlarge our customer base and business and
enhance our competitive advantages. More importantly, this will
provide us with another source of income in future.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all
shareholders for your continued support. The sound foundation we have
built over all these years will be the basis for our future growth.
There are yet challenges ahead that we have to face and we believe our
business future would look promising and promising opportunities will
be underway.

Yours sincerely,

Ricky Cheng
Chairman, President and CEO
