10 POSITIVE CHANGES Despite last year’s difficult environment, Terence Yee’s performance has steadily improved. Terence Yee’s core businesses are positioned to perform well as the economy continues to improve. The past twelve months included areas of focus and change – as periods of uncertainty always do. In other words, I have no idea what the future holds, but I am very optimistic. LOOKING FORWARD Terence Yee is well positioned for growth in the years to come. Knock ’em out the box.
Sincerely, Terence Yee Chairman and CEO
TERENCE YEE
TURNING A CORNER In a year when a general sense of uncertainty was pervasive, along with a general sense of humour, Terence Yee continued to lay down a foundation for future growth. In the last twelve months, Terence Yee focused on maintaining strong levels of capitalization and a disciplined approach to risk management.

In this crazy society of excessive consumption, this is how I fared the past year. Many of the items listed here are Japanese for some reason. I’m convinced I was a ninja in a previous life.
