LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The above six parcels of land had been mortgaged. The mortgagee of land nos. 4 and 6 was Shungde Ronggui Rural Credit Cooperative. The mortgagees of land nos. 1 to 3 and 5 were Bank of China Foshan Branch and Bank of China Foshan Shunde Ronggui Sub-branch. The Land Disposal is subject to the consent of the mortgagees of the Land. The Company is in the course of obtaining consent from the mortgagees. It is the current intention of the Company that the mortgage will be fully paid up by the Company by using its internal resources or the proceeds from the disposal or by charging other assets of the Company to the mortgagee on or before completion of the disposal, depending on the negotiations between the mortgagees and the Company.

The Land was used as factories and staff quarters by the Company. After the Land Disposal, the factories erected thereon will be relocated to other areas of the Company. Since the Company has made sufficient preparation before such relocation, such as choosing a suitable new location for the factories, it is therefore estimated by the Company that the relocation of the factories to other areas will not cause any material impact to the operation of the Company.

No net profit (both before and after taxation and extraordinary items) was attributable to the Land and the factories erected thereon in the 2005 and 2006 financial years.

The audited value of the Land and the factories erected thereon in the financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2006 was RMB25,283,560.55. The net book value of the Land and the factories erected thereon as at 31 March 2007 was RMB24,179,728.49. When comparing the total consideration for the Land Disposal, i.e. RMB141,200,000, with the net book value of the Land and the factories erected thereon as at 31 December 2006, i.e. RMB25,283,560.55, there is a premium of value of RMB115,916,439.45.

After the payment of relevant taxes and expenses of the Land Disposal (including business tax, land appreciation tax and dyke levy) by the Company in the approximate total sum of RMB8,712,040, the Company is expected to obtain a gain for the Land Disposal in the approximate sum of RMB107,204,399.

FINANCIAL IMPACTS ON THE GROUP

Assets and Liabilities

The disposal of the Land and and the factories erected thereon under the Land Use Rights Transfer Agreement I and the Supplemental Land Use Rights Transfer Agreement will reduce the fixed assets of the Company by the amount of RMB25,283,560.55 (the audited net book value of the Land and the factories erected thereon as at 31 December 2006). Since all of the net sales proceeds in the sum of RMB132,487,960 will be used by the Company as repayment of bank loans, the liabilities of the Company will also decrease by RMB132,487,960.

Earnings

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board approved to put the Home Appliance Company Zone, Beach Warehouse and the Marketing Building and the buildings or factories thereon for public auction on 13 May 2007.

The disposal of the Home Appliance Company Zone, Beach Warehouse and the Marketing Building and the buildings or factories thereon is subject to the consent of their respective mortgagees. The Company is in the course of obtaining consent from such mortgagees. It is the current intention of the Company that the mortgage of the Home Appliance Company Zone, Beach Warehouse and the Marketing Building and the buildings or factories thereon will be fully paid up by the Company by using its internal resources or the proceeds from the disposal or by charging other assets of the Company to the mortgagees on or before completion of the disposal, depending on the negotiations between the mortgagees and the Company.

The Company is of the view that the disposal of the Home Appliance Company Zone, Beach Warehouse and the Marketing Building and the buildings or factories thereon will not have any material impact to the operation of the Company since such lands are non-core assets of the Company and the Company did not have much operation thereon.

Since all of the net sales proceeds in the sum of RMB48,581,702.39 will be used by the Company as repayment of bank loans, the liabilities of the Company will also decrease by RMB48,581,702.39.

Earnings

It is estimated by the Company that gain in the sum of RMB14,078,745 will be obtained by the Company as a result of the disposal and thus the earnings of the Group will increase by RMB14,078,745 as a result of the disposal.

The Land, the Home Appliance Company Zone, the Beach Warehouse Zone, the Marketing Building and the factories and buildings erected thereon are non-core assets of the Company. The disposals under the Land Use Rights Transfer Agreements are an initiative by the Company to dispose of its non-core assets so that the maintenance costs to be incurred by the Company in maintaining its non-core assets can be reduced and thus enhancing its assets structure, which will facilitate the optimal utilization of the assets of the Company.

This will help to lower the gearing ratio of the Company and further improve the operating conditions of the Company since the liabilities of the Company will be reduced. The credit and image of the Company will also be enhanced.
