        The Company participated in certain foreign currency deposit arrangements with two banks. The Company         
        deposited US$ 40,000 with the banks for a period started from 5 November 2002. According to the deposit       
        agreement, the banks set up a quarterly interest determination interval from 5 November 2002 thereafter, and  
        the interest was calculated on daily basis. The daily interest was eligible to the annual interest rate of 5% 
        if the LIBOR for the six month US dollar loans at the previous London working day did not exceed the relevant 
        interest determination interval of the day. Otherwise, the daily interest was eligible to the annual interest 
        rate of 0%. At 31 December 2002, short-term bank deposits included US$ 40,000 subject to these arrangements   
        (2001: US$ 47,000).

  (a) According to PRC Company Law, the Company is required to transfer 10 percent of its profit after       
      taxation computed in accordance with the PRC accounting regulations (after offsetting prior years' losses) to   
      its statutory reserve fund until the reserve reaches 50 percent of its registered share capital.                
  
      The statutory reserve fund can be utilized to offset prior years' losses or for issue of bonus share; however,  
      the fund shall be maintained at a minimum of 25% of the registered share capital after any such issue.          

  (b) According to PRC Company Law, the Company is required to transfer 5 to 10 percent of its profit after taxation  
      computed in accordance with the PRC accounting regulations (after offsetting prior years' losses) to its        
      statutory welfare fund.                                                                                         

      The Company's statutory welfare fund can only be used for the collective benefits and facilities of the         
      Company's employees. Employees are only entitled to use these facilities. The title and ownership of the        
      facilities will remain with the Company. The fund forms part of the shareholders' equity and is not             
      distributable other than on liquidation. The transfer to this fund must be made before the distribution of      
      dividend to shareholders.

      meetings. Its usage is similar to that of statutory reserve fund. No transfer to the discretionary reserve fund 
      has been proposed by the Board of Directors.
