LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • II. THE RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE FEASIBILITY OF THE PROJECT TO BE INVESTED WITH THE PROCEEDS FROM THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE

The proceeds will be applied to the construction of Nanguang Expressway.

Nanguang Expressway is located in the central western section of Shenzhen with a total length of approximately 31 km and is a core north south corridor in Shenzhen’s “Seven East-West and Thirteen North-South” ( ) planned core road network. Nanguang Expressway runs towards south connecting Shenzhen western coastal area, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor and Dachanwan Port which are under construction via Shenzhen Nanping Freeway; and towards north connecting Guangshen Expressway, National Highway No.107 and Guanshen Expressway via Longda Expressway and Changhu Expressway, going through Shenzhen Nanshan District and several important economic hubs in Shenzhen Baoan District. According to the “Letter related to the Examination Opinions on the Application Report for the Nanguang Expressway Project in Shenzhen” (Yue Jiao Gui Han [2006] No. 571) ( ( [2006]571 )) issued by the Department of Communications of Guangdong Province, the investment in Nanguang Expressway is estimated to be approximately RMB3,171 million. Currently, approximately 40% of land requisition, demolition and relocation of Nanguang Expressway has been completed and works already commenced on most contract sections. Construction works are being proceeded smoothly and the main-line works of the project are scheduled for completion by the end of 2007. The project will commence full operation in the first half of 2008.

The development of Nanguang Expressway is of vital importance to achieving the development strategy of Shenzhen economies, refining the express distribution transportation system of Shenzhen western coastal area as well as stimulating further economic development of peripheral area. First, Nanguang Expressway is not only a trunk permitting any places in downtown of Shenzhen to have access to the main expressway and highway network within 10 minutes and a swift lane to downtown for several important economic hubs in the Baoan District of Shenzhen City, but also a major circulating pathway which diverts cross-border cargo traffics to road network in the suburbs, thereby improving the environment of the city. Second, Nanguang Expressway is a fast and convenient way crossing from Hong Kong through Shenzhen to other regions in Pearl River Delta Region. It has substantial influence to the development of economic hinterland of Shenzhen and Hong Kong and fosters the economic co-development among Hong Kong, Shenzhen and other regions in Pearl River Delta. Third, the four ports of Shenzhen coastal area, i.e. Shekou Port, Chiwan Port, Mawan Port and Dachanwan Port, are located in the western part of Shenzhen. Nanguang Expressway performs the function of express distribution transportation system in the western coastal areas of Shenzhen and will provide a great support to the establishment of Shenzhen Port as an important and multifunctional coastal transportation port for international containers and major bulks. As an important ancillary facility for Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor, Nanguang Expressway will help to make best use of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor.

In view of the important geographical location of Nanguang Expressway and the trend of economic development in peripheral areas of Shenzhen, the Directors believe that the investment in Nanguang Expressway is crucial to the Company’s operation and development as well as to the fulfilment of the regional need for economic development. Based on the traffic volume estimated in the feasibility research report for the Nanguang Expressway project, it is expected that the internal rate of return of the project will be approximately 11% with a pay-back period of approximately 13 years.

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers that the Nanguang Expressway has a good market prospect, which will be beneficial to the Company to further develop its core business, expand the scale of its enterprise, maintain a good operating performance, consolidate the Company’s leading position in the expressway industry in Shenzhen region, and enhance its core competitiveness as well as its capability for sustainable development. The invested project is in compliance with the production and industry policies of the PRC and the development strategies of the Company, and the project to be invested with the proceeds from the proposed issuance is feasible.
