This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D is filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements:

• Schedule 13D, dated April 20, 2000, as amended by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 1), dated December 8, 2003, by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 2), dated November 18, 2008 and by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 3), dated February 6, 2009, in each case as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; except as amended hereby, the Schedule 13D, as amended by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 1), by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 2), by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 3) and Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 4) remains in effect.


Item 2.		Identity and Background.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the second paragraph thereof and inserting in its place the following:

The directors of Hill Street are: Alan Richard Binnington, Charles Stuart Hornby, Sarajane Kempster, Stephen Romeril, and Graham Huelin.


Item 5.		Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) The aggregate percentage of Common Shares reported to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 44,546,899 Common Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Common Shares outstanding on October 13, 2009 as disclosed by the Issuer to us.

As of the close of business on October 13, 2009, Hung Lay Si has direct ownership of 8,190,707 Common Shares, representing approximately 18.4% of the Common Shares outstanding on October 13, 2009 and in respect of which it has voting and dispositive power. These shares are comprised of (i) 16,035,388 Common Shares acquired by Hung Lay Si pursuant to an exchange agreement dated April 14, 2000, minus (ii) 13,667,132 Common Shares sold by Hung Lay Si to Mr. Merle A. Hinrichs on November 27, 2003, plus (iii) 1,206,582 Common Shares acquired from time to time by Hung Lay Si in the open market subsequent to November 27, 2003, plus (iv) 6,000,000 Common Shares acquired by Hung Lay Si in the 2008 Transfer and the 2008 Sale, minus (v) 1,529,832 Common Shares tendered by Hung Lay Si and accepted for payment in the Tender Offer, plus (vi) 804,501 Common Shares acquired pursuant to the Issuer’s bonus share distribution of one Common Share for every ten Common Shares held as of February 27, 2009, minus (vii) 537,541 Common Shares sold pursuant to the transactions reported pursuant to Amendment No. 4 to this Schedule 13D and minus (viii) 121,259 Common Shares sold pursuant to the Transactions (defined below in clause (c)). Hill Street has shared voting and dispositive power with Hung Lay Si with respect to those 8,190,707 Common Shares by virtue of its authority to vote and to dispose of the shares of Hung Lay Si owned by the Trust. As of the close of business on October 13, 2009, Hung Lay Si has shared dispositive power over an additional 20,764,421 Common Shares directly owned by Mr. Hinrichs as of October 13, 2009, comprised of (i) 6,455,278 Common Shares pledged by Mr. Hinrichs to Hung Lay Si, plus (ii) 16,011,057 Common Shares purchased by Mr. Hinrichs from Hung Lay Si, minus (iii) 3,589,589 Common Shares that were tendered by Mr. Hinrichs and accepted for payment in the Tender Offer and plus (iv) 1,887,675 Common Shares acquired pursuant to the Issuer’s bonus share distribution of one Common Share for every ten Common Shares held as of February 27, 2009, representing approximately 46.6% of the Common Shares outstanding on October 13, 2009, by virtue of Hung Lay Si having rights of first refusal under certain circumstances in respect of sales by Mr. Hinrichs of such Common Shares. Hill Street has shared dispositive power with respect to those 20,764,421 Common Shares both by virtue of its authority to vote and to dispose of shares of Hung Lay Si owned by the Trust and by virtue of it having the same rights of first refusal as does Hung Lay Si. See Item 6. The aggregate number of Common Shares of which each of the Reporting Person has beneficial ownership is 28,955,128, representing approximately 65.0% of the Common Shares outstanding on October 13, 2009.

(b) The Reporting Persons have shared power with each other to vote the 8,190,707 Common Shares directly owned by Hung Lay Si reported in this Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons have shared dispositive power with each other over the 28,955,128 Common Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” with Mr. Hinrichs by virtue of having certain rights of first refusal in respect of sales by Mr. Hinrichs of 20,764,421 Common Shares owned by Mr. Hinrichs as of October 13, 2009. See Item 6.

(c) During the period August 21, 2009 through September 30, 2009, Hung Lay Si sold in the open market 121,259 Common Shares, at an average price of approximately $7.48 per Common Share (the “Transactions”). The purpose of the Transactions was to reduce our ownership of Common Shares. Other than the Transactions, no transaction in the Common Shares of the Reporting Persons was effected during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons.

(d) Except as described in the penultimate sentence of the second paragraph of Item 3, no person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Common Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.

(e) Not applicable.
