The rentals are subject to adjustments provided that the adjustments shall not exceed the applicable inflation rates published by the relevant local PRC authorities. Based on the above circumstances and the expected significant increase in number of properties being leased by the Company following the Proposed Acquisition as contemplated under the Property Leasing Agreement, coupled with the relevant current market rentals for such properties, factoring in any anticipated possible inflation, the total annual rentals payable by the Company to CEA Holding under the Property Leasing Agreement are not expected to exceed RMB60,000,000 for each of the three financial years ending 31st December, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
