out domestic auditing, among other things, of the Company's financial report
for year 2013 has been considered and approved at the second meeting of the
eighth session of the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company in order
to maintain continuity and stability of the Company's domestic financial
auditing work.

The overseas auditor of the Company for carrying out overseas auditing work of
the Company will temporarily remain unchanged. The relevant audit services will
continue to be carried out by RSM Nelson Wheeler Certified Public Accountants.

retirement which should be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the
Company. The Board is also not aware of any matters in relation to the proposed
change of auditor that need to be brought to the attention of the shareholders
of the Company. The Board has also confirmed that there are no disagreements or
outstanding matters between the Company and RSM China.

The proposed change of auditor is subject to shareholders' consideration and
approval at the general meeting of the Company. A notice of the general meeting
containing, among other things, further details of the proposed change of
auditor will be despatched to the shareholders in due course.
