Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Each of Messrs. Dunning, Hassenfeld and Smith (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) received the securities covered by this Statement in connection with the November 20, 2009 merger of China Holdings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and the predecessor entity to the Issuer (“CHAC”) with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving (the “Merger”), and the concurrent acquisition of Success Winner Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, by the Issuer.  Each of the Reporting Persons was a founder of CHAC and initially acquired shares of common stock of CHAC in conjuction with its founding, which were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Ordinary Shares of the Issuer in connection with the Merger.  Prior to consummation of the Merger, CHAC was a blank check company incorporated on June 22, 2007, for the purpose of acquiring or acquiring control of one or more operating businesses having their primary operations in Asia through a merger, capital stock exchange, stock purchase, asset acquisition or other similar business combination or contractual arrangements.

On November 20, 2009, in connection with the Merger, the Reporting Persons entered into a Voting Agreement with CHAC, the Issuer, Mr. Wong Kung Tok, Mr. Paul K. Kelly, Mr. Chen Yan Davis and Mr. Xiao Feng (the “Voting Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the parties agreed to vote their respective Ordinary Shares of the Issuer to establish the board size and ensure its composition as set forth therein.  A copy of the Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the Reporting Persons also received a portion of their Shares in conjunction with that certain Exchange Offer which the Issuer completed on or about August 30, 2010.

The Reporting Persons initially acquired shares of CHAC common stock in connection with the founding of CHAC, which shares were exchanged for Ordinary Shares of the Issuer in connection with the Merger described in Item 3 of this Statement.  The Reporting Persons hold the securities covered by this statement for investment purposes.  Depending on market conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their respective investment decisions, the Reporting Persons may sell all or a portion of their Ordinary Shares, or may purchase additional shares, on the open market or in a private transaction.  On September 26, 2011, the Reporting Persons delivered a letter to the board of directors of the Issuer in which they expressed a desire to meet with the board to discuss certain strategic initiatives which may have the effect of maximizing value for all shareholders, principally a potential going private transaction, but also encouraged the board to consider other alternatives such as a potential dual listing on NASDAQ and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, share buy-back programs, M&A activities, new dividend programs and strategic investments.   A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Other than as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have any definitive plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following:

 
(a)
The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;
 
(b)
An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
 
(c)
A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
 
(d)
Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
 
(e)
Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
 
(f)
Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;
 
(g)
Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;
 
(h)
Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
 
(i)
A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g) (4) of the Act; or
 
(j)
Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Re:           China Ceramics Co. Ltd. – Take-Private Proposal

Gentlemen:

We are writing to you in our capacities as shareholders who collectively own approximately 13.4% (approximately 23.7% excluding Huang Jia Dong’s, Paul Kelly’s and Cheng Davis’ ownership) of the issued and outstanding shares of China Ceramics Co., Ltd. (“CCCL” or the “Company”).  As you are aware, our group includes members of the founding group of China Acquisition Holdings Corp. (“CHAC”), CCCL’s business combination partner, and the largest independent shareholder of CCCL.  In response to a letter sent by certain members of our group dated August 25, 2011, we received an e-mail from Chairman Paul Kelly dated September 2, 2011 in which he declined our offer to meet with the Board to assist with its evaluation of strategic alternatives, including a take private transaction.  Mr. Kelly instead invited us to submit any proposals that we have in writing to the Board.  Accordingly, we are submitting this proposal (the “Proposal”) with the support of Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (“Macquarie”), an affiliate of which has proposed to provide financing for a take private transaction.

As we indicated in our previous letter, as a U.S.-listed Chinese company, CCCL is operating in a hostile capital markets environment where it faces a myriad of challenges that are suppressing shareholder value.  In our view, CCCL’s Board must meaningfully and carefully consider the implications of the following issues and implement remedial measures and strategic initiatives to counteract them:
 
 
- 1 -

 
 
·      
U.S. investors have not understood or properly valued CCCL’s operating results and growth prospects, notwithstanding CCCL’s investor relations efforts;
 
·      
The fear of “China frauds” has significantly reduced CCCL’s valuation along with the valuations of other small capitalization China stocks traded in the U.S. and this trend does not look likely to change; and
 
·      
CCCL’s cost of capital, particularly equity capital, is extremely high, such that it cannot raise working capital or growth capital on reasonable terms without significantly damaging existing CCCL shareholders.

Since the closing of the transaction with CHAC:
 
·      
the Company has consistently met or exceeded all of its financial and operational targets; and
 
·      
the management team has exceeded our expectations and has proven its ability to successfully manage and grow the business.
 
Despite this superior operational performance, CCCL’s shares trade at a Price-to-Earnings multiple of less than two times on both a trailing and forward basis.  This valuation multiple is at the bottom of CCCL’s peer group (see attachment).

Proposed Transaction:

We believe that the Board needs to actively and quickly address CCCL’s current U.S. capital markets situation.  We have reviewed and discussed CCCL’s capital markets alternatives with financial advisors and other interested parties.  We believe that the best alternative for CCCL is to execute a take private transaction (the “Transaction”) and subsequently consider public re-listing opportunities on viable international exchanges, such as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
 
As noted in a recent Wall Street Journal article, other Chinese companies that trade on U.S. markets are also employing the take private strategy as a means to address the institutional issues and bias in the US markets.  (See “Stung, Chinese Firms Now Look to Go Private,” Dinny McMahon, September 2, 2011.)   A take private transaction is the best solution for a credible Chinese company to address these issues.

We have spent significant effort and expense investigating the potential Transaction.  Macquarie has proposed providing the financing for the purchase of the outstanding equity of CCCL.  As you are aware, the Macquarie Group is a global diversified financial services firm with a leading market position in the Asia-Pacific region and a strong presence in selected markets around the world.  The firm is a highly-respected underwriter and investor in the Hong Kong and China markets.

Please understand that we hope to work cooperatively with the Board and management to effectuate this Transaction.  At a minimum, we would expect the management of CCCL to participate by rolling their equity into the Transaction.  We would also expect the other founders of CHAC to seriously consider participating with us.
 
 
- 2 -

 

Next Steps:

Our hope is that the work necessary to evaluate the Transaction we have proposed could be completed in a limited time frame with minimal disruption to CCCL.  The process would follow appropriate corporate governance procedures and confidentiality guidelines so that the Board of CCCL can ultimately review a complete offer proposal.

In order to advance our current Proposal, we request that our designees and Macquarie be granted access to CCCL in order to:

 
·  
Perform reasonable commercial due diligence;
 
·  
Generate reasonable financial models;
 
·  
Prepare a strategic business plan; and
 
·  
Meet and confer with management.
 

This will allow a more complete proposal, including a price per share, to be delivered to the Board for its consideration.

In order to fully explain our Proposal, we would like to have a meeting to discuss a process and timeline with the U.S.-resident board members and have an identical discussion in Mandarin between the China-resident board members and our China-based representatives.

We hope that this letter and our request for a meeting with CCCL’s Board to discuss our Proposal will be favorably received.  Please notify us by Monday October 3, 2011 whether you will do so and provide us with some suggested dates and locations where we could meet.   Please note that we have filed this letter with the SEC consistent with our obligations under U.S. federal securities law.

 
Very truly yours,
