BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT On 10th January, 2005, the Company changed its financial year end date from 31st March to 31st December. In December 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of the entire interest in Union Petro-Chemicals (BVI) Company Limited ("UPC") (the "Acquisition"). Under accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong, the Acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition because the issuance of the consideration shares and convertible note in exchange for the entire interest in UPC resulted in Vand Petro-Chemicals (BVI) Company Limited ("Vand Petro-Chemicals") becoming the controlling shareholder of the Company. For accounting purposes, UPC and its subsidiaries (the "UPC Group") is treated as the acquirer while the Company and its subsidiaries are deemed to have been acquired by the UPC Group. Along this principle, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared as a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of the UPC Group and comparative information presented are that of UPC Group. 2.
