Four supervisors of the Company attended the Meeting. The Meeting was chaired by Mr Zhai Ruoyu, chairman of the Company. The following resolutions were approved unanimously by the attending directors or their proxies through voting by show of hands at the Meeting: 1. The 'Working Report of the Board' was considered and approved, and the same be submitted to the 2006 annual general meeting for consideration.

Voting results: 15 voted in favour, 0 voted against and 0 abstained. After consideration, the Board agreed to the proposed 2006 profit distribution plan as follow: (1) Contributing 10% of the statutory surplus reserve fund in an amount of approximately RMB269,742,719, in accordance with the realised net profit of the parent company under the PRC GAAP; (2) The total amount of the proposed cash dividend to be distributed is approximately RMB1,348,713,594.5. Based on the total 5,753,555,774 shares (5,662,849,000 shares + 90,706,774 conversion shares from convertible bonds) as shown on the register of members as at 30 March 2007, the cash dividend will be equivalent to approximately RMB0.234 per share. As there may be further conversion of the US dollar convertible bonds into H shares for the period from 30 March 2007 to the register date for the Company's distribution of dividends, the cash dividend (approximately RMB0.234 per share) to be distributed by the Company may decrease. Accordingly, the Board proposes that the cash dividend per share to be distributed be adjusted on the basis of the total number of shares as at the register date for the dividend distribution, on the premise that the total amount of proposed cash dividend to be distributed (RMB1,348,713,594.5) remains unchanged. 4.

Accordingly, on the basis of the Company's current total share capital of 5,753,555,774 shares, upon completion of the share capital expansion which will issue 10 bonus shares for every 10 shares held, the total share capital of the Company will increase to at least 11,507,111,548. 5.
