Recent Developments

Special general meeting of shareholders

As previously disclosed, on December 12, 2006, the Company called for a special general meeting of its shareholders in Hong Kong (the “Special General Meeting”). All the resolutions proposed at the Special General Meeting were duly passed.

A.

Change in the Company’s independent auditors

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of KPMG, the Singapore member firm of KPMG International (“KPMG Singapore”), as the Company’s independent auditors with effect from December 12, 2006. This appointment was made at the Special General Meeting. The Company’s previous independent auditors, KPMG, the Hong Kong member firm of KPMG International (“KPMG Hong Kong”), resigned on November 6, 2006.

The reports of KPMG Hong Kong on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. However, KPMG Hong Kong’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 contained a separate paragraph stating that “the Company recognized a provision for uncollectible loans to a related party in the amount of Rmb 205 million as of December 31, 2005.”

In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and through November 6, 2006, there were no disagreements with KPMG Hong Kong on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG Hong Kong, would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. There were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided KPMG Hong Kong with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the letter of KPMG Hong Kong, dated December 14, 2006.

B.

Appointment of new director

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Matthew Richards as an independent director of the Company with effect from December 12, 2006. This appointment was made at the Special General Meeting to fill a vacancy on the board of directors.

Mr. Matthew Richards is counsel at The Serwer Law Firm LLC, a boutique international law firm based in Singapore, providing advisory services related to corporate finance and private equity transactions. Mr. Richards has been in private practice in Singapore as an international lawyer since 1999, and has worked on a variety of capital markets, mergers and acquisitions and other corporate finance transactions throughout the Asian region, particularly in Indonesia and India. From 2003 to mid 2006, Mr. Richards was an associate at Latham & Watkins, the international law firm advising the Company on US law matters. Mr. Richards holds a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Asian Studies from the Australian National University.

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Richards is independent within the meaning of the NYSE’s corporate governance standards, on the basis that the Company has no material relationship with him.
