Qualified audited opinion The auditors' report on the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year 31 December 2004 stated that the evidence available to them was limited in the following respect: 1. On 10 March 2005, the People's Court in Nanjing ordered the Company to surrender its equity interests in two subsidiaries of the Group and the transfer of the equity was completed on the next day. As the Company was not able to access their books and records, or to obtain or prepare their financial statements, the financial statements of these subsidiaries have not been consolidated. There were no other satisfactory audit procedures the auditors could adopt to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the impact on the financial position and result of the Group caused by the exclusion of these two subsidiaries from the consolidated financial statements. 2. Included in the balance sheets of the Company and the Group at 31 December 2004 were investments in two unconsolidated subsidiaries referred to paragraph 1 above with a total carrying value of approximately RMB121, 017,000 and a total amount of approximately RMB852,551,000 due from these two subsidiaries. The above carrying value of the investments in these two subsidiaries are stated net of a provision of approximately RMB84,033 ,000 made by the directors in the current year. The auditors are unable to obtain relevant and reliable financial information of these two subsidiaries and there were no other satisfactory audit procedures that they could adopt to assess the carrying value of the investments in these two subsidiaries and amount due from them. The auditors therefore unable to satisfy themselves as to whether the carrying value of the investments in these two subsidiaries and the amount due from them are fairly and properly stated in the financial statements. 3. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the People's Court in Nanjing has ordered the Company to surrender it's equity interests in the two unconsolidated subsidiaries referred to paragraph 1 above as settlement of an overdue debt. The information available was not sufficient for the auditors to fully understand the background and circumstances leading to this event. Accordingly, the auditors are unable to assess the impact, if any, the event may have on the financial statements and the adequacy of the information disclosed. Except for any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary had we been able to obtain sufficient evidence relating to the matters referred to above, in the auditors' opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2004 and of profit and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
