     3.2   Proposed revisions to Article 208 of the Articles 

           "Article 208: The dividends distribution policy of the Company shall
           include the following:

           (1)   The Company's dividends distribution policy shall maintain 
                 continuity and stability.  On the basis that such dividends 
                 distribution policy shall pay great attention to the 
                 reasonable investment return of the shareholders and also
                 taking into account the long term interests of the Company, 
                 the overall interests of all shareholders, the Company's 
                 reasonable demand of funds and the sustainable development of
                 the Company, the Company shall implement an active method to 
                 distribute its dividends (i.e. distribution by way of cash 
                 shall be the priority way for profit distribution).  The 
                 Company may distribute dividends by way of cash or shares (or
                 by both ways). 

                 (i)   dividends and other distributions in respect of the 
                       ordinary shares shall be declared and denominated in
                       Renminbi.
                 (ii)  dividends and other cash distributions in respect of the
                       Domestic-Invested Shares shall be paid in Renminbi.
                 (iii) dividends and other cash distributions in respect of the
                       Overseas-Listed Foreign-Invested Shares listed in Hong
                       Kong and London shall be paid in Hong Kong dollars in 
                       accordance with relevant PRC foreign exchange 
                       regulations. The exchange rate shall be calculated on 
                       the basis of the average closing exchange price of Hong
                       Kong Dollar against Renminbi issued by the People's Bank
                       of China in each business day of the week immediately 
                       preceding the date when such dividends are declared.
 
           (2)   The board of directors may distribute interim dividends or 
                 bonus unless the shareholders' general meeting decides 
                 otherwise. 
           (3)   Where the Company distributes dividends to its shareholders,
                 it shall withhold taxes levied upon such dividends in 
                 accordance with PRC tax laws.
           (4)   Where the Company distributes dividends by way of shares, it
                 shall obtain approvals from approval authorities of the 
                 State."

     3.3   Adding one article after Article 208 as Article 209 of the amended
           Articles:

           "Article 209: In the event that the Company has generated profits 
           and the accumulative undistributed profit is a positive figure; and 
           the cash flow of the Company is sufficient for the normal operation 
           and sustainable development of the Company, the Company shall 
           distribute its dividends by way of cash.  The amount of profit to be
           distributed by way of cash in a year in principle shall be 50% of 
           the net profit of the parent company realised in such year in 
           accordance with PRC accounting standards.

           In the event that the Company is well operated and the board of 
           directors of the Company considers that the price of Company's 
           shares does not match the size of share capital of the Company and
           that distributing dividends by way of shares is to the interests of 
           all shareholders of the Company as a whole, the Company may propose 
           a plan for the distribution of dividends by way of shares, provided
           that the requirements for the distribution of cash dividends have 
           been fulfilled. 

           The profit distribution plan of the Company shall be drafted by the 
           management and submitted to the board of directors and board of
           supervisors of the Company for consideration and approval.  The 
           board of directors shall fully discuss the rationality of the profit
           distribution plan, produce specific resolutions in this regard, and 
           submit to the shareholders' general meeting for consideration and 
           approval. 

           In special circumstances where the Company will not distribute its 
           cash dividends, the board of directors shall prepare particular 
           explanations in respect of the reason explaining why the Company 
           will not distribute cash dividends, the specific purposes for the
           reserved profits and the estimated income generated from investment
           and other matters.  After being opined on by the independent 
           directors, such explanations shall be submitted to the shareholders'
           general meeting for consideration and approval, and shall be 
           disclosed to the media designated by the Company. 

           In the event that the Company has profit but has not proposed any 
           distribution plan, or the Company proposes to adjust its profit 
           distribution policy, the board of directors shall have specific 
           discussions in this regard and shall fully discuss the reasons for 
           such adjustment and produce a written discussion report.  The 
           discussion report, after being considered and approve by the 
           independent directors, shall be submitted to the shareholders' 
           general meeting for approval by way of special resolutions 

           In the event that the shareholders' general meeting has adopted 
           resolutions in respect of the profit distribution plan, the board 
           of directors shall complete the distribution of dividends by way of
           cash (or shares) within 2 months after such shareholders' general 
           meeting. 

           The Company shall establish communications with the minority 
           shareholders by multiple channels, so that such minority 
           shareholders will have opportunities to provide their opinion in 
           respect of the profit distribution policy and the adjustments to the
           profit distribution policy to the Company."
 
4.   The provisions after Article 209 of the amended Articles shall be 
     renumbered in order accordingly. 

     "The Resolution on Amendments to the Company's Registered Capital and the 
     Articles of Association of the Company" is still subject to the approval 
     by the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders"). The full terms of
     the proposed amendments to the Articles will be provided in the relevant 
     circular to be dispatched to the Shareholders. An extraordinary general 
     meeting will be convened by the Company for the Shareholders to consider 
     and, if thought fit, approve the proposed amendments to the Articles by 
     way of special resolutions.

                                                             Zhou Gang
