"Since the appointment on 6 January 2009, Mr. Stephen Liu Yiu Keung and Mr. David Yen Ching Wai, the
Provisional Liquidators, have been investigating into the affairs of the Group and have taken all necessary actions to preserve the assets and to assess the situation of the subsidiaries of the Company in the People’s
Republic of China (the “PRC”). However, without the assistance of the former Directors, Mr. Yeung and Mr.
Yang, who were the legal representatives of the subsidiaries in the PRC, the Provisional Liquidators would
not be able to proceed the same. As such, legal actions have been taken against Mr. Yeung and Mr. Yang in
respective regions in the PRC for the possible damages to the Group resulting from their illegal possessions
of the properties of the subsidiaries in the PRC, including but not limited to, the company chops and statutory
certificates of the subsidiaries in the PRC. The status of the court cases as at the date of this report is as follows:
(i) Fuqing Longyu Food Development Co., Limited (“Fuqing Longyu”)
The Provisional Liquidators were informed by the PRC legal adviser, based on his recent visit to the
Administration of Industry and Commerce in Fuqing (福清市工商行政管理局) (the “Fuqing AIC”) in May
2010 and to the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau in Fuqing (福清市對外貿易經濟合作
局) (“Fuqing FTECB”) in July 2010, that the changes of the board and the legal representative of Fuqing
Longyu have not been effected despite the enforcement notices having been issued to both authorities
by the Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court (福州市中級人民法院) of Fujian Province, the PRC.
As such, the Provisional Liquidators have written to the Fujian Provincial Department of Foreign Trade
and Economic Cooperation (the “Fujian FTECB”) (福建省對外貿易經濟合作廳), the Hong Kong Economic
and Trade Office in Guangdong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the
“HKETO”) (香港特別行政區政府駐粵經濟貿易辦事處) and the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (中華人
民共和國商務部) informing the difficulties encountered and seeking their assistance in replacing the board
and the legal representative of Fuqing Longyu and are awaiting their replies.
The Provisional Liquidators were informed by the Fujian Branch of Bank of China (“BOC Fujian”)(中國
銀行－福建省分行) in the PRC that the BOC Fujian had obtained a judgment against Fuqing Longyu in
relation to a loan granted to Fuqing Longyu and is taking steps to dispose of certain collaterals to repay
the loan. Since the replacement of the board and the legal representative of Fuqing Longyu has not been
effected by Fuqing AIC, the BOC Fujian has not provided the Provisional Liquidators with the details of the
abovementioned legal action.
(ii) Jia Jing Commercial (Shanghai) Co., Limited (“Jia Jing (Shanghai)”)
After consulting the PRC legal advisers, the Provisional Liquidators are taking appropriate steps to apply
for re-issuance of company chops and statutory certificates of Jia Jing (Shanghai).
(iii) Ningbo Dingwei Food Development Co., Limited (“Ningbo Dingwei”)
First China Technology Limited, a subsidiary of the Company and the immediate holding company of
Ningbo Dingwei, attempted to file a statement of claim with the Ningbo Intermediate People’s Court
of Zhejiang Province (the “Ningbo Court”) (浙江省寧波市中級人民法院) but the filing was denied by the
Ningbo Court. The Provisional Liquidators have been collating further evidence and are taking appropriate
steps to prepare a revised statement of claim to be filed with the Ningbo Court.
