Item 4: Purpose of Transaction.

        Reporting Persons acquired the securities of Issuer for purposes of
investment.

        Each of Funds IV, IV-A and IV-B propose to sell 1,471,593, 169,404 and
70,157 Ordinary Shares, respectively, pursuant to a Registration Statement dated
February 17, 1998 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


- --------
(1)     Excludes the Earn-Out-Shares (as defined below).

(2)     The dollar amount given for "Total Cost" represents the aggregate value
of Issuer's Ordinary Shares acquired by the Reporting Persons in the acquisition
described below (based on the price per Ordinary Share of $14, which was the
last sale price on February 12, 1998, as reported on Nasdaq National Market
under the symbol ZNDTY). 
        On February 13, 1998, Issuer entered into the Exchange Agreement with
Hua Yang Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Parent"), Hua Yang Printing Holdings Co., Limited
("Subsidiary"), HYP Holdings Limited ("HYP"), Karl Chan (BVI) Holdings Limited
("Chan Holdings"), Karl Chan ("Chan") (HYP, Chan Holdings and Chan are sometimes
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Hua Yang Shareholders"), certain
investment funds operated by, among other entities, Funds IV, IV-A and IV-B that
are shareholders of HYP (the "Principal HYP Shareholders") and ChinaVest
Management Limited, as the Agent on behalf of the Hua Yang Shareholders and the
Principal HYP Shareholders. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Hua Yang
Shareholders exchanged all of Parent's outstanding ordinary shares and preferred
shares for $35.0 million in cash and up to 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares
(collectively, the "Acquisition Consideration"). Of the 1,000,000 Ordinary
Shares, 666,667 were issued at the closing of the Hua Yang Acquisition and
placed in escrow for a period of six months to secure the indemnification and
obligations of, among other entities, Hua Yang, the Hua Yang Shareholders and
ChinaVest under the Exchange Agreement. The remaining 333,333 Ordinary Shares
(the "Earn-Out-Shares") will remain unissued until completion of an independent
audit of Hua Yang's financial results for the two-year period ending March 31,
1999 and will be issued only in the event that the operating results of Hua Yang
meet specified thresholds. Of the 666,667 Ordinary Shares issued, Funds IV, IV-A
and IV-B received 279,487 Ordinary Shares.

                                      13.
<PAGE>   14
        Subject to applicable legal requirements, Reporting Persons may purchase
additional Ordinary Shares from time to time in open market or in private
transactions, depending on their evaluation of Issuer's business, prospects and
financial condition, the market for the Ordinary Shares, other developments
concerning Issuer, the reaction of Issuer to Reporting Person's ownership of
Ordinary Shares, other opportunities available to Reporting Persons, and general
economic, money market and stock market conditions. In addition, depending upon
the factors referred to above, Reporting Persons may dispose of all or a portion
of their Ordinary Shares at any time.

        Other than as described in this Item 4, Reporting Persons do not have
any plan or proposal relating to, or that would result in, any event described
in (a)-(j) of this Item 4.
