INTRODUCTION

This annual report on Form 20-F relates to our ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, which are traded on the NYSE Amex under the
ticker symbol CNR.

In this annual report, references to the Company or China Metro are to
China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and/or, as the context requires, its primary subsidiaries: China Metro-Rural Limited, a limited company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and continued into the British Virgin
Islands and Man Sang International Limited, a Bermuda company listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and/or, as the context requires, the subsidiaries of : China Metro-Rural Limited or Man Sang International Limited. References to
the Merger are to the merger of Creative Gains Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited that was acquired by China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited on December 1, 2009
solely for the purpose of entering into the Merger Agreement and effecting the Merger (Merger Sub) with and into China Metro-Rural Limited whereby the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and China Metro-Rural Limited
continues as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited. The Merger was completed on March 22, 2010. Prior to a name change on March 19, 2010, China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited was named Man
Sang International (B.V.I.) Limited, or MSBVI. On July 28, 2010, the Company declared a dividend to its shareholders which was satisfied by way of distribution in specie of the entire equity interest in Man Sang International Limited, or MSIL,
held by the Company, represented approximately 494 million ordinary shares of MSIL, or the Distribution, and was completed in August 2010.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This is
our second filing as a foreign private issuer on Form 20-F, and the second filing to include consolidated financial statements of the Company on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) giving the effect to our redomiciling transaction and common control merger, as described further below. The acquisition of equity interest of China Metro-Rural Limited has been accounted
for as a combination of entities under common control in a manner similar to pooling of interests as both the Company and China Metro-Rural Limited were controlled by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky immediately prior to and immediately after the
Merger. On this basis, the consolidated financial statements of China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited for periods prior to the Merger have been restated to include, to the extent of the equity interest of China Metro-Rural Limited held by
Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of China Metro-Rural Limited for those periods as if China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited had owned China Metro-Rural Limited at the beginning of the financial
period reported in the consolidated financial statements or when MSBVI and China Metro-Rural Limited came under common control by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, whichever is later, and all assets and liabilities of China Metro-Rural Limited have
been stated at historical carrying amounts. The acquisition by the Company of interest owned by all the shareholders of China Metro, including Mr. Cheng, was treated as an equity transaction at the completion date of the Merger.

On July 28, 2010, the Company announced its decision to distribute its entire equity interest in Man Sang International Limited, or
MSIL, to the Companys shareholders, or Distribution. In line with the accounting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries, or the Group, the results attributable to MSIL are shown as discontinued operations in the Groups consolidated
financial statements.

The results of the continuing operations are presented in the consolidated income statement for the
three years ended March 31, 2011. However, discontinued operations are presented in the consolidated income statement for the same periods as a separate amount, comprising the total of the post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations
for the period together with any post-tax gain or loss recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell, of the assets/disposal groups constituting discontinued operations. While contained in the consolidated financial statements in
this Annual Report, the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 has not been revised for the discontinued operations.

A. Selected Financial
Data

The acquisition of equity interest of China Metro-Rural Limited has been accounted for as a combination of entities
under common control in a manner similar to pooling of interests as both the Company and China Metro-Rural Limited were controlled by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky immediately prior to and immediately after the Merger. On this basis, the
consolidated financial statements of China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited for periods prior to the Merger have been restated to include, to the extent of the equity interest of China Metro-Rural Limited held by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, the
assets and liabilities and results of operations of China Metro-Rural Limited for those periods as if China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited had been the holding company of China Metro-Rural Limited at the beginning of the financial period reported in
the consolidated financial statements or when the Company and China Metro-Rural Limited came under common control by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, whichever is later, and all assets and liabilities of China Metro-Rural Limited have been stated
at historical carrying amounts. The acquisition by the Company of interest owned by all the shareholders of China Metro, including Mr. Cheng, was treated as an equity transaction at the completion date of the Merger.

On July 28, 2010, the Company declared a dividend to its shareholders which was satisfied by way of distribution in specie of the
entire equity interest in Man Sang International Limited, or MSIL, held by the Company, represented approximately 494 million ordinary shares of MSIL, or the Distribution, and was completed in August 2010. Upon the completion of the
Distribution, the Group no longer held any interests in MSIL and has discontinued its pearls and real estate businesses, or the Discontinued Operations, which was previously operated through MSIL. The summary of consolidated income statement
re-presents the results of continuing operations, where the results of MSIL are accounted for as discontinued operations net of taxation for all years presented.

The selected consolidated statements of operation data of the Group presents the results for the five years ended March 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 on the basis of International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Companys historical results do not necessarily indicate results expected for any future periods. The selected consolidated financial data below should be read
in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects below, and the other information contained in this Form 20-F.

Exchange Rate Information

The Hong Kong dollar is freely convertible into other currencies, including the U.S. dollar. Since 1983, the Hong Kong dollar has been generally linked to the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.80
to US$1.00. Under existing Hong Kong law:



| |  |  | there are no foreign exchange controls or other laws, decrees or regulations that affect the remittance of dividend payments to U.S. residents;
and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | there are no limitations on the rights of non-residents or foreign owners to hold the Companys ordinary or preferred shares.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Basic Law of Hong Kong, or the Basic Law, which came into effect on July 1, 1997, provides that no
foreign exchange control policies shall be applied in Hong Kong.

##### Table of Contents

The market exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar continues to
be determined by supply and demand in the foreign exchange market. However, against the background of the fixed rate system which applies to the issuance and withdrawal of Hong Kong currency in circulation, the market exchange rate has not deviated
significantly from the level of HK$7.80 to US$1.00. The Hong Kong government has indicated its intention to maintain the link at that rate. Under the Basic Law, the Hong Kong dollar will continue to circulate and remain freely convertible. The Hong
Kong government has also stated that it has no intention of imposing exchange controls in Hong Kong and that the Hong Kong dollar will remain freely convertible into other currencies, including the U.S. dollar.

On May 18, 2005, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced the introduction of certain refinements to the operation of the linked
exchange rate system. These refinements effectively set the market exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar within a fixed trading range from HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 against US$1.00. However, the Company cannot assure you that
the Hong Kong government will maintain the linked exchange rate system within the range of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85, or at all.

Risks Related to Our
Business

Our ability to execute on our business strategy and grow will depend in part on the success of the PRCs agricultural
industry, and if the PRC agricultural industry does not continue to grow at a strong rate, our business may suffer.

We
have established an logistics platform in Tieling, Liaoning Province called China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, which is available to Tieling as well as regional and international traders based upon an open free market system
for the mutual benefit of sellers and buyers. The exchange is designed to facilitate the marketing of products provided or desired by willing buyers and sellers. Agriculture products have risk exposure, including weather, climate and seasonal price
fluctuations. Farmers are exposed to risks associated with output and input prices, production volume and risks associated with income from non-farm sources. Our results of operation may be significantly adversely affected by these risks.

The PRC Government may introduce new green laws with environmental challenges that may
have an adverse effect on our actual and prospective tenants and customers, and therefore could adversely affect our operations.

There are few quantitative estimates of projected environmental degradation associated with intensive agricultural production. Yet environmental cleanup will pose a competing challenge for investment in
agriculture. Abundant use of coal to meet the increasing demands for energy and rapid growth of cities with associated growth of automobiles and municipal waste have been large sources of incredibly high levels of air pollution in China. Mortality
rates of chronic pulmonary disease, a leading cause of death in China, is five times as high as in New York, not only leading to considerable loss of life, but high cost of hospitalization and lost work days estimated to be 7.4 million
person-years per year.

Acid rain and water use and pollution associated with industrialization and urbanization are other
major sources of water constraint. Disposal of industrial waste and organic fertilizer runoffs has been the major source of water pollution. Yet the health impact has been generally contained due to the widespread availability of safe drinking
water. Still, water pollution is increasing water shortages and increasing the cost of provision of drinking water since this often requires that people move to safer areas.

Chinas per capita energy demand and increased use of automobiles associated with urbanization will critically shape the environmental prospects in China. Reduction in environmental pollution will
require the PRC Government to encourage the replacement of outdated and environmentally polluting technologies, increasing energy efficiency and emission standards to standards comparable to those used in Europe and the U.S., and price polluting
industrial inputs to reflect the cost of pollution cleanup. The PRC Government would also need to consider imposing taxes on such items as coal, based on sulfur and ash content, investing in alternative technologies in public transport and domestic
energy use, such as the greater use of gas for cooking, and planning and regulating industrial, public and household uses more effectively. Each of these events could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

The results of operations of our agricultural logistics business substantially depend on our ability to execute our business strategy and on
economic growth in the regions of our trade center projects.

The results of operations of our agricultural logistics
business substantially depend on the successful execution of our business strategy to attract and retain high quality tenants, achieve market rental rates and improve the surrounding infrastructure. Our success will also depend upon continuing
growth in the agricultural, manufacturing and export industries in the Manchuria region, as well as regions surrounding properties planned for future development, and our ability to compete with other similar businesses. We may face challenges in
implementing our strategy, and our ability to achieve our goals may be adversely affected by various factors, some of which are beyond our control. If we are not able to execute our business strategy or successfully compete with other similar
businesses, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able
to increase our revenues from sales or leases of properties or achieve satisfactory rental rates from period to period, sustain our rapid growth rate or increase our revenues from either the sales or lease of properties from period to period.

Our revenues have grown rapidly over the past three years. Our revenues from the sales of trade center units in fiscal
year 2009 and fiscal year 2010 were HK$1.1 million and HK$336.7 million, respectively. Our revenue from the leases of properties increased from nil in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 to HK$0.6 million in the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2010 and our revenue from property management services increased from nil in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 to HK$0.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Our revenue in the fiscal year ended March 31,
2011 were HK$581.6 million, which includes revenue from leases of properties and property management services of HK$4.5 million and HK$1.5 million, respectively.

Our commission lease arrangements provide us the right to lease to, and receive rental
income from, third parties for the trade center units that we have sold to the purchasers of these units, for a period of approximately three years. However, if we are unable to lease the trade center units for which we have entered into such
commission lease arrangements, we will not receive any rental income from these units. Under these commission lease arrangements, we are not obligated to pay any rent during the three-year period. Such transactions are accounted for as a sale and
operating leaseback given that as part of the sale transaction, the Company disposes of substantially all risks and rewards of owning the property. In concluding that substantially all risks and rewards of owning the property have been transferred,
the Company considers the short period of the lease and the expected future rentals it could earn by letting out these properties, which are insignificant relative to the value of the property. We cannot assure you that, in the future, we will be
able to charge sufficiently high rental rates. As a result, failure to lease the trade center units or to lease the units at satisfactory rental rates would adversely affect our profits for the applicable period.

Some of our buyers may not be able to obtain mortgages from banks and the inability to secure financing may adversely impact the Companys
stock price.

Currently the majority of our sales are settled by one-off purchases from buyers. The remaining buyers
purchase spaces in our trade centers through mortgages with banks with typically at least a 50% down payment. Due to the volume involved and the mortgage approval process, some of the buyers that intend to purchase spaces in our trade centers
through mortgage financing may not be successful in their mortgage applications for a variety of reasons. In the event that the applicants do not successfully receive mortgage financing, the Company may not be able to recover its accounts receivable
from these buyers on time, the Companys financials may be impaired, and the Companys stock price may go down.

We currently
rely on Phase I of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling for all of our agricultural logistics business revenues. We may be unsuccessful in expanding beyond Phase I, and if we are unsuccessful, our stock price may fall.

Although our agricultural logistics business has properties under development and planned for future development, we currently rely on
Phase I of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling for all of our agricultural logistics business revenues. This single location revenue source may entail a higher level of risk as compared to other operators of trade centers that have
revenue-generating properties spread over several different locations or have a more diverse range of property investments. In the event of a circumstance which adversely affects the operations or business of China Northeast Logistics
CityTieling, or its attractiveness to tenants, we will not have income from other properties in our agricultural logistics business to mitigate any ensuing loss. A concentration of investments in a single location will cause China Northeast
Logistics CityTieling to be highly susceptible to a downturn in Northeast Chinas agricultural, property or logistics industry. In addition, any property damage at China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, resulting from fire or other
causes, or a downturn in the industrial materials, agricultural or manufacturing industries in Northeast China, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we cannot assure that China
Northeast Logistics CityTieling will continue to attract tenants to generate rental income, or that we will be successful in the future. Although we have projects planned for future development in 2011, 2012 and 2013, we cannot assure that we
will be able to successfully obtain state-owned land use rights for all or any portion of land necessary for the development of these projects, complete the development of these projects or generate revenue and net income from these projects at all
or in amounts that we expect.

If we are unable to obtain the state-owned land use rights for our properties planned for future
development, we will not be able to develop these planned projects.

Our Hong Kong subsidiary, China Metro-Rural
Exchange Limited, signed a framework agreement with Tieling Municipal Government in 2006. Pursuant to this master agreement, the Tieling Municipal Government has identified land which is suitable for our development strategy in Tieling City.

Another of our Hong Kong subsidiaries, China Metro-Rural Development Limited, signed a
framework agreement with Dezhou Municipal Government in 2010. Pursuant to this framework agreement, the Dezhou Municipal Government has identified land which is suitable for our development strategy to develop logistics platforms which will be
called China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou.

However, the signing of these master framework agreements do
not guarantee that we will obtain the land identified therein, which will be transferred by public tender, auction or listing for sale. We cannot assure that the relevant land administration authorities will grant us the appropriate land-use rights
or issue the relevant land-use rights certificates in a timely manner, or at all. Moreover, we cannot assure that we will be successful in our bidding for the plots of land or that we will be able to obtain the land at our desired price. If we are
not successful in our bidding for the plots of land in the future or fail to obtain land-use rights for all or any portion of such land, we may not be able to develop any future projects.

We may experience conflicts of interest with China South City Holdings Limited as a result of contracts to which certain of our directors are a party.

In addition to their investments in the Company, Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and his brother, Mr. Cheng Tai Po, own all of the
outstanding shares of Accurate Gain Developments Limited and 80% of the outstanding shares of Proficient Success Limited. As of March 31, 2011, Accurate Gain Developments Limited, Proficient Success Limited, Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky,
and Mr. Cheng Tai Po owned an aggregate of 2,471,444,558 of the 5,987,564,000 outstanding shares of China South City Holdings Limited, or China South City, and Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, held options to purchase 66,000,000 shares of
China South City. China South City is one of the leading developers and operators of large-scale integrated logistics and trade centers in China, providing a comprehensive trading platform for domestic and international wholesale suppliers, buyers,
manufacturers and distributors of raw materials and finished products. It sells and leases trade center units for businesses to display and sell their products. China South City also provides their clients with one-stop convenient supply chain
solutions that include a full range of facilities and services such as offices, residential, conference and exhibition facilities, hotels and restaurants, warehousing and on-site logistics services, banking, on-site government services in a bid to
offer. Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, is also the Co-Founder, Co-Chairman and Executive Director of China South City. In addition, Mr. Leung Moon Lam, a director of China Metro, is a Co-Founder, Executive Director and the Chief Executive
Officer of China South City.

Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and Mr. Leung Moon Lam are each parties to a deed of
option and undertaking with China South City. Pursuant to the deed of option and undertaking of which we are not a party, each of Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and Mr. Leung Moon Lam has granted to China South City an option to acquire all
their respective effective interests in China Northeast Logistics CityTieling at any time until September 30, 2014 or two years after the completion of the development of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling (whichever is later) so
long as: (i) for Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, he remains a controlling shareholder of China South City or a director of China South City; or (ii) for Mr. Leung Moon Lam, he remains a director of China South City. China South City
also has the right to buy all the respective interests held by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and/or Mr. Leung Moon Lam in China Northeast Logistics CityTieling before they are offered to any other third party. The price payable by
China South City for such interests shall be determined with reference to the fair market value of such interests as determined by an internationally recognized valuer.

If China South City decides, after due consideration, not to exercise the option but wishes
to develop China South Citys business operations in Liaoning Province, which may result in competition between China South City and China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, China South City shall be entitled to, at any time within the
above option period, require Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky (so long as he remains a controlling shareholder of China South City or a director of China South City), and/or Mr. Leung Moon Lam (so long as he remains a director of China South
City) to dispose of all their respective interests in China Northeast Logistics CityTieling to independent third parties as soon as practicable and in any event prior to the occurrence of any competition between China South City and China
Northeast Logistics CityTieling. As a result, there may be conflicts of interest presented by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Rickys, and Mr. Leung Moon Lams relationships with both us and China South City, which may adversely
affect our opportunities, prospects and results of operations.

In connection with our Merger in 2010, Mr. Cheng Chung
Hing, Ricky and Mr. Leung Moon Lam sought confirmation from China South City as to whether China South City would opt to exercise its rights of first offer granted to it by both Mr. Cheng and Mr. Leung to purchase all their respective
effective interests in China Northeast Logistics CityTieling. Following that request, China South City held an extraordinary general meeting in which its independent shareholders approved, confirmed and ratified its non-exercise of the rights
of first offer granted to it by each of Mr. Cheng and Mr. Leung in relation to the Merger. While the rights of first offer no longer exist with respect to the completed Merger, the option to exercise the rights of first offer remains in
effect with respect to subsequent transfers until September 30, 2014 or two years after the completion of the development of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling (whichever is later).

We may not be able to acquire the land for the completion of additional projects with Urbanization Policy and reduction of agricultural land by PRC
Government.

According to some estimates, since 1988, capital construction in China has removed 190,000 hectares of
land from cultivation annually. Other estimates show a greater loss of land. The land lost in the Shandong and Southeastern coastal provinces is high quality land where multiple cropping is practiced, compounding the loss. Although these losses have
been offset by land reclamation of 245,000 hectares annually, reclaimed land tends to be of poorer quality. In addition, the cost of land reclamation has varied between HK$2,000 to HK$20,000 per hectare depending on the terrain. In the event we are
unable to obtain additional land at reasonable prices, or at all, we may not be able to complete additional projects in the future, which could have an adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Our PRC subsidiary, China Northeast Logistics City Co. Ltd., or China Tieling Northeast, is a wholly owned foreign enterprise, which subjects China
Tieling Northeast to restrictions imposed on such enterprise under relevant PRC laws and regulations.

China Tieling
Northeast was approved by the local authorities in Tieling and filed with the PRC Ministry of Commerce as a wholly owned foreign enterprise and, accordingly, is subject to regulations and restrictions applicable to foreign investment real estate
enterprises, including, but not limited to, restrictions on China Tieling Northeasts ability to obtain loans within and outside of the PRC, as well as restrictions on the conversion and sale of foreign exchange into the capital account. In
addition, China Tieling Northeast, as a foreign investment real estate enterprise, is required to maintain registered capital levels at 50% or more of our total investment. As of March 31, 2011, our registered total investment in China Tieling
Northeast was US$49.8 million, including registered capital of US$35 million, representing approximately 70% of our registered total investment. Currently, China Tieling Northeast, our project company for our property planned for future development
in Liaoning, is our only subsidiary categorized as foreign investment real estate enterprise.

The cyclical nature of the real estate, agricultural and logistics industries could adversely affect
our results of operations.

Our results of operations are and will continue to be affected by the cyclical nature of
the real estate, agricultural and logistics industries in the PRC. Property values and rents are affected by, among other factors, the supply and demand of comparable properties, interest rates, inflation, the rate of economic growth, tax laws and
political and economic developments in the PRC. Our tenants and customers may be affected by the weather, climate, import and export of agricultural products and machines, price of the agriculture and the fluctuation of the RMB. We cannot assure
that property values and rents will not decline. In addition, increased competition brought by any additional supply could adversely affect trade center rents and occupancy rates as well as sales prices for new trade center units. Our trade centers
depend upon the growing demand for industrial and agricultural materials and logistics services in China. A significant downturn in the PRC economy could adversely affect such demand, as well as the demand by suppliers for trade center units.

Our results of operations may fluctuate from period to period due to variations in the proceeds received from sales and leases of trade
center units and the fair value of our investment properties.

Our results of operations tend to fluctuate from period
to period depending upon the proportion and gross floor area, or GFA, of trade center units that are sold or leased, and when our projects in various stages of development are completed. We generally sell trade center units in the initial stages
following completion of a project subject to the then-current market conditions. The number of trade centers that we are able to develop or complete during any given period is limited due to the substantial capital requirements for land acquisition
and construction, as well as the lengthy development periods required before positive cash flows may be generated. In addition, the trade centers that we have developed or that are under development are large-scale, integrated, multi-phase projects
to be developed over the course of several years. The selling prices and rental rates of trade center units are also subject to fluctuation, which may impact our sales proceeds and rental income and, accordingly, our revenues for any given period.
In this regard, rental rates also vary among trade centers, according to market demand and dates of completion of the various trade centers, which affects rental rates because we generally offer tenants of newly completed trade center units
preferential rental rates and rent-free periods in order to increase occupancy rates of these trade centers. Our rental rates for future periods may also be affected by similar incentive plans, and may be adversely affected by cyclical changes in
market demand.

Our results of operations may also fluctuate due to changes in the fair value of our trade center units and
other facilities retained for rental income and capital appreciation of investment properties. We reassess the fair value of our investment properties each year. Property valuation typically requires the use of certain bases and assumptions with
respect to a variety of factors, including supply and demand of comparable properties, the rate of economic growth in the location of the property, interest rates, inflation and political and economic developments in the PRC.

Our operations are subject to extensive governmental regulation, and we are susceptible to changes in policies related to the real estate,
agricultural and logistics industries in the PRC.

In order to develop and operate a trade center development, we must
obtain various permits, licenses, certificates and other approvals from the relevant administrative authorities at various stages of our trade center development, including land-use rights documents, planning permits, construction permits and
certificates or confirmation of completion and acceptance. Each approval is dependent on the satisfaction of certain conditions.

We cannot assure that we will be able to fulfill the pre-conditions necessary to obtain
required governmental approvals, or that we will be able to adapt to new laws, regulations or policies that may come into effect from time to time with respect to the real estate, agricultural or logistics industries in general or the particular
processes with respect to the grant of approvals in China. There may also be delays on the part of relevant administrative bodies in reviewing our applications and granting approvals. We may also be subject to periodic delays in our trade center
development projects due to building moratoria in the areas in which it operates or plans to operate. If we are unable to obtain, or experience material delays in obtaining, the requisite governmental approvals, or if a building moratorium is
implemented at one or more of our project sites, the development and sale of our projects could be substantially disrupted, which would result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we
cannot assure that the implementation of laws and regulations by relevant authorities, or the interpretation or enforcement of such laws and regulations, will not cause us to incur additional costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face competition from other agricultural logistics and industrial materials
trade centers.

Our China Northeast Logistics CityTieling and China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou may face
competition from other agricultural and industrial materials trade centers in China, particularly in the Northeast area. The greatest concentration of industrial materials trade centers in China is in Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and the
Manchuria area. The agricultural, industrial materials and finished goods featured at these competing trade centers include agricultural products, building materials, automobile and accessories and small goods at China Northeast Logistics
CityTieling. In addition, there may be an increase in supply of industrial materials trade centers in Guangdong and elsewhere in China, such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou, in the future.

The greatest concentration of agricultural trade centers in China is in Manchuria and Shanghai. The agricultural products for which these
trade centers compete include raw materials, corns, wheat, fertilizers, seeds and pesticides, agricultural machinery and tools, which are concentrated in Manchuria area. The Shanghai Agriculture Equity Exchange (SAEE) was established on
September 8, 2009, and the management anticipates that similar exchanges will be established in the future.

This
competition may affect our ability to attract and retain tenants and buyers and may reduce the rents or prices we are able to charge. We cannot assure that we will prevail in competing with other trade center operators. Our inability to compete
effectively could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Demand for our trade centers may be
negatively affected by uncertainty regarding the recovery of the global economy, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Uncertainty regarding the recovery of the global economy may diminish the demand from many parts of the world and increase volatility in
credit and equity markets. If these conditions persist or worsen, regardless of any efforts by various governmental authorities to stimulate the economy, they may adversely affect the availability, terms and cost of borrowings in the future,
including financings necessary to complete our properties planned for future development, as well as the demand for our trade center units. Because our operations are capital intensive, and rely principally on cash flows from operations and bank
borrowings, we cannot assure that the global economic downturn will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

The timing and nature of any recovery in the global economy remain uncertain, and there can be no assurance that market conditions will
improve in the near future or that our results will not be adversely affected. Furthermore, if economic conditions become worse, the development of our properties could be adversely affected and materially delayed.

We may not be able to renew or re-obtain qualification certificates for real estate development upon
expiration of our current qualification certificate, which could adversely affect our business.

Our subsidiary, China
Tieling Northeast, is required to hold a qualification certificate which is normally granted to real estate developers. The Tieling Urban Construction Comprehensive Development Office has previously granted a temporary qualification certificate to
China Tieling Northeast confirming that China Tieling Northeast is allowed to undertake the development of properties in the PRC. On August 6, 2009, China Tieling Northeast obtained a renewal of the temporary qualification certificate. On
December 22, 2010, China Tieling Northeast obtained from the Liaoning Housing and Urban Rural Construction Bureau a Qualification Certificate for Real Estate Development Enterprise in Grade III with an effective term until December 21,
2013. After the expiration of its current qualification certificate, China Tieling Northeast will need to renew this qualification certificate or apply for a qualification certificate in a higher grade.

Another of our subsidiaries, Dezhou Northeast City Property Co., Ltd., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Northeast Logistics
City Dezhou Co., Ltd., or China Dezhou Northeast, is also required to hold a qualification certificate as a real estate developer in mainland China. The Dezhou Housing and Urban Rural Construction Bureau has granted a temporary qualification
certificate to Dezhou Northeast City Property Co., Ltd. confirming that Dezhou Northeast City Property Co., Ltd. is allowed to undertake the development of properties in the PRC. The temporary qualification certificate will expire on June 30,
2012. Upon expiration of this temporary qualification certificate, Dezhou Northeast City Property Co., Ltd is required to renew its qualification certificate.

We cannot assure that these entities will be able to renew the current qualification certificates or obtain a new qualification certificates in a timely manner, or at all. If these entities or other
project companies for our future projects are unable to renew the current qualification certificates or obtain new qualification certificates, they may not be permitted by the PRC government to continue to engage in property development activities
associated with the development of their integrated logistics trade center business, which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The appraisal value of our properties may materially differ from the value we could receive in an actual sales transaction.

Property valuations include a subjective determination of certain factors relating to the properties, such as their relative market
position, their financial and competitive strengths, location and their physical condition. Further, the valuation of the properties is not an indication of, and does not guarantee, a sale price corresponding to such valuation, currently or in the
future. Unforeseen changes in a particular integrated logistics and trade center development or in general or local economic conditions could affect the value of our properties, and the resulting amounts we obtain may be materially lower than the
amount set forth in the valuations.

Potential liability for environmental problems could result in substantial costs.

We are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations during the construction of our development projects.
The particular environmental laws and regulations which apply to any given project development site vary greatly according to the sites location, the sites environmental condition, the present and former uses of the site, as well as
adjoining properties. Environmental laws and conditions may result in project delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs and can prohibit or severely restrict project development activity in environmentally sensitive
regions or areas. In addition, we cannot predict the impact that unforeseeable environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations may have on us or our trade center projects.

##### Table of Contents

As required by PRC law, independent environmental consultants have conducted environmental
impact assessments at all of our construction projects. Although the environmental investigations conducted to date have not revealed any environmental liability that would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations, it is possible that these investigations did not reveal all environmental liabilities or their extent, and there may be material environmental liabilities of which we are unaware. Upon completion of each project,
the relevant environmental authorities will inspect the site to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental standards and prepare a report to confirm such compliance. We cannot assure that such internal control procedures will be effective
in preventing non-compliance. If any portion of the project is found to be non-compliant with relevant environmental standards or if we are unable to obtain necessary licenses for releasing contaminants, it may be subject to suspension of a portion
of our operations as well as fines and penalties.

Sales of our properties are subject to land appreciation tax and income tax.

Our sales of trade center units and residential properties are subject to land appreciation tax in the PRC. In
addition, sales of properties in our properties planned for future development may be subject to land appreciation tax. Land appreciation tax is payable on the gain, representing the balance of the proceeds received on such sale, after deducting
various prescribed items, including sums paid for acquisition of land-use rights, the direct costs and expenses of the development of the land and construction of buildings and supplementary facilities or the appraised price of any previous
buildings and structures existing on the land and taxes related to the assignment of the real property. Under applicable PRC laws and regulations, land appreciation tax is chargeable on the gain at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60%. Certain
exemptions may be available for the sale of ordinary residential properties if the appreciation of land value does not exceed 20% of the total deductible items as provided in the relevant tax laws.

On December 28, 2006, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice on Administration of the Settlement of Land
Appreciation Tax of Property Development Enterprises, or the LAT Notice, which became effective on February 1, 2007. The LAT Notice provides that land appreciation tax should be settled in stages during a real estate development project and
sets forth, among other things, methods of calculating land appreciation tax and a time frame for settlement of land appreciation tax. We have accrued all land appreciation tax payable on our property sales and transfers in accordance with the
progressive rates specified in relevant tax laws mentioned above. However, the relevant tax authorities have yet to commence the assessment of our land appreciation taxes in order to collect the additional tax payments from it, and, therefore, we
have not made the additional payments of land appreciation tax during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010 and the current period. We have paid such land appreciation tax expenses based on the total sales amount of the contracts it
entered into with purchasers of trade center units for each fiscal year at the rate of 2% set by the Tieling municipal tax authority. In fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, we paid land appreciation tax to the Tieling municipal tax
authority in the amounts of HK$nil and HK$4.8 million, respectively. In fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, we made provisions for land appreciation in the amounts of HK$0.06 million, and HK$22.2 million, respectively. In the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2011, we paid land appreciation tax to the Tieling municipal tax authority in the amount of HK$11.9 million, and we made provisions in the amounts of HK$45.9 million. Our cash flows and financial condition will be affected
if the PRC tax authorities do proceed to collect the land appreciation tax for which we have made provisions. In addition, provisioning for land appreciation tax requires our management to use a significant amount of judgment with respect to the
appreciation of land value and the allowability of deductible items for income tax purposes. If the land appreciation tax provisions we have made are substantially lower than the actual land appreciation tax amounts assessed by the tax authorities,
our results of operations and cash flows will be materially and adversely affected.

We may be required to forfeit land to be developed if it does not comply with the terms of our land
grant contract.

Under PRC law, if a developer fails to develop land according to the terms of its land grant contract
(including those relating to payment of fees, land use or the time for commencement and completion of the development of the land), the relevant land administration authorities may issue a warning to or impose a penalty on the developer or require
the developer to forfeit the land. Further, if the development is delayed for longer than one year, the developer may be restricted from bidding for any new land. Thus, if we were to delay development on the China Northeast Logistics
CityTieling Phase I land and newly acquired Phase II land (and if this restriction were applied to us) we may be restricted from bidding for other land designated for Phase II or subsequent phases of development. We have not received such a
warning or been subject to such a penalty or threat of forfeiture in the past. However, we cannot assure that circumstances leading to possible forfeiture of land or delays in the completion of an integrated logistics, agricultural and trade center
development will not occur in the future.

In addition, although the local government is responsible in the master agreement
for relocating existing residents on the land and associated relocation expenses, the local government may experience delays in its negotiation process with the original occupants of the land which may result in delays in the development of any
future properties by us. With respect to any future properties of ours, we will be responsible for land payments only following the successful relocation of existing residents by and at the cost of the local government.

We may not be able to commence or complete our properties planned for future real estate projects on time or within budget.

Our real estate projects involve acquiring land-use rights for large plots of land, many of which have existing structures and residents,
from municipal and provincial governments of the PRC. Other properties we may develop in the future may also involve similar circumstances. Acquiring these development rights, converting them into land-use rights and committing the financial and
managerial resources to develop the land involve significant risks. Before a real estate development project generates any revenue, we must make a variety of material expenditures, including to acquire the development rights and to construct the
required infrastructure.

It generally takes several years for a planned real estate project to generate revenue, and we
cannot assure you that our real estate projects will achieve positive cash flow. As a result, our current and future real estate development activities may be exposed to the following risks:



| |  |  | we may lease or sell developed properties at below expected rental rates or sales prices, and we may experience delays in the sale or leasing of
developed properties;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may be unable to complete construction of our real estate projects on schedule, or on budget, due to a variety of factors including shortages of
materials, equipment, technical skills and labor, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, labor disputes, disputes with contractors and sub-contractors, accidents, changes in government priorities and policies, changes in market conditions,
delays in the relocation process, delays in obtaining the requisite licenses, permits and approvals from the relevant authorities and other problems and circumstances, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | occupancy rates, rents and sales prices at our real estate properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic
conditions, and may result in our investments being less profitable than we expected or not profitable at all;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the services rendered by our contractors may not always meet our quality requirements, and negligence or poor work quality by any contractors may
result in defects in our buildings or trade center units, which could in turn cause us to suffer financial losses, harm our reputation or expose us to third-party claims;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | since it normally takes several years for us to complete a real estate project, we expect that we will be affected by increases in the costs of
construction materials and the costs of other goods and services, most significantly labor costs;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may delay, or change the structure of, real estate projects and as a result we may lose deposits paid to participate in the land tender process or
fail to recover expenses already incurred; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining, required zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits, rights and
authorizations, which could result in increased costs with respect to a project.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The occurrence of any of
these circumstances, most of which are beyond our control, could delay the completion of our real estate projects, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could cause the market value
of our shares to decline.

We may not be able to obtain adequate funding to our property under development or any properties planned for
future development.

To date, for investment activities, we have relied primarily on bank borrowings and other loans
for our funding and liquidity requirements; and to a lesser extent on cash inflows from operations. For further information on our available funding and liquidity resources, please see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources. As of March 31, 2011, we had net current assets of HK$345.5 million and the outstanding balance of our total indebtedness (including trade payables, other payables
and accruals, excluding shareholders loan) amounted to approximately HK$770.1 million, which included primarily bank and other borrowings and trade payables, other payables and accruals in the amounts of HK$534.2 million and HK$235.9 million,
respectively. Approximately HK$260.8 million of our total borrowings were due within one year or on demand and approximately HK$273.4 million were due within a period of more than one year but not exceeding five years. The projected total investment
for China Northeast Logistics CityTieling and China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou could be up to an amount of approximately US$2 billion and US$5 billion, respectively.

We also have available cash flow from our operations, but such amounts are not likely to be sufficient to fund our future development
requirements. Due to the nature of our trade center development business, it may from time to time experience periods of net cash outflows, when imbalances may arise between the timing of cash inflows from rentals and sales of trade center units and
our cash outflows relating to the construction of properties and purchases of state-owned land use rights. We may require additional bank borrowings and, if necessary, offerings of debt and equity securities for a significant portion of our
liquidity requirements to finance the construction costs of these projects, which are expected to be completed in stages. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain additional financing at competitive costs, or at all. In addition, although we
have not experienced any difficulties in the past, we may not be able to renew our existing loan facilities granted by banks in the PRC on satisfactory terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain necessary additional financing or renew existing
loan facilities, we will not be able to complete future projects, and our business development could be severely disrupted.

We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding to finance intended purchases of land use rights, develop future
projects or meet other capital needs as and when required at a commercially reasonable cost or at all. Failure to obtain adequate funding at a commercially reasonable cost may limit our ability to commence new projects or to continue the development
of existing projects or may increase our borrowing costs.

In previous years, the PRC Government introduced a number of measures and regulations to
restrict the ability of property developers to raise capital through external financing and other methods. Because the local authorities treat our project companies, as a real property developers, we have been subject to these measures and
regulations with respect to China Tieling Northeast. Additionally, the PRC Government has also recently introduced a number of restrictions on individuals purchases of residential properties. These restrictions may affect our sales of
residential properties to individual customers.

We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future.

As of March 31, 2011, our debt-to-equity ratio (total bank and other borrowings/total equity) was approximately 63.8%. We may incur
additional indebtedness to complete additional projects and grow our supporting infrastructure, and the amount of such additional indebtedness may be substantial. We will face more risks if it or our subsidiaries incurs additional debt. For example,
the additional debt could:



| |  |  | limit our ability to satisfy our obligations under our borrowings;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to servicing and repaying our indebtedness, thereby reducing the
availability of our cash flow to fund project developments, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our businesses and the industry in which we operate;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or exploring business opportunities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit, along with the restrictive covenants of our indebtedness, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds or make guarantees; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increase the cost of additional financing.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

Our ability to generate sufficient cash to satisfy our outstanding and future debt obligations will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by then prevailing economic
conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We anticipate that our operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating expenses and to service our debt obligations as they become
due. However, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow for these purposes. If we are unable to service our total indebtedness, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as reducing or delaying
capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness or seeking additional equity capital. These strategies may not be implemented on satisfactory terms, if at all.

If we are unable to comply with the restrictions and covenants in our bank loan agreements, there could be a default under the terms of these
agreements, which could cause repayment of our debt to be accelerated.

The bank loan agreements of our PRC subsidiary,
China Tieling Northeast contain a number of significant restrictive covenants. These covenants restrict, among other things, China Tieling Northeasts ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt or make guarantees,
incur liens, pay dividends or distributions on its or its subsidiaries capital stock, prepay certain indebtedness, sell or transfer property or assets, make investments and merge or consolidate with another company.

If China Tieling Northeast is unable to comply with the restrictions and covenants in its
current or future loan and other agreements, there could be a default under the terms of these agreements. In the event of a default under these agreements, the holders of the debt could terminate their commitments to lend to China Tieling
Northeast, accelerate the outstanding debt and/or terminate the agreements, as the case may be. If the underlying obligation relates to China Tieling Northeasts secured borrowings, the lender can enforce the mortgages over the property
securing the defaulted loan. If any of these events occur, China Tieling Northeast cannot assure that its assets and cash flow would be sufficient to repay all of its indebtedness, or that it would be able to obtain alternative financing on terms
that are favorable or acceptable to China Tieling Northeast.

China Tieling Northeast is not currently in breach of any of
these covenants.

We depend on China Metro-Rural Limiteds founding shareholders, one of whom is also one of our directors, and our
business and growth prospects may be severely disrupted if we lose the support and service of all or any one of them.

Our success and growth depends on the efforts of the founding shareholders of the China Metro-Rural Limited (Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky
and Mr. Leung Moon Lam), one of whom (Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky) is also one of our directors. These founding shareholders are critical to our success because of their vision for us and their industry knowledge and relationships. If we were
to lose their support, our relationships with bankers, government officials, potential tenants and industry personnel could be adversely affected. We may not be able to replace these founding shareholders easily or at all. As a result, the loss of
any of these founding shareholders, whether because any one or more of them become unwilling to continue in their present capacities with us, develop disagreements between each other, leave to join a competitor or form a competing business, or other
reasons, would severely disrupt our business and growth prospects.

We depend on our senior management and other important staff
members, as well as on our ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel.

We depend on the efforts and
skill of our senior management and other important staff members. As a result, our future success depends to a significant extent on the continuing service and coordination of these individuals, who are not obligated to remain employed with us.

Our success also depends on our ability to identify, hire, train and retain suitably skilled and qualified employees with the
requisite industry expertise. The loss of any member of our senior management team and our other employees could have a material adverse effect on our business if we are unable to find suitable replacements in a timely manner. Competition for such
personnel is intense, and any failure to recruit and retain the necessary personnel or the loss of a significant number of employees at any time could harm our business and prospects.

We may suffer losses caused by natural disasters or accidents and these losses may not be covered by insurance.

Our business may be adversely affected due to the occurrence of typhoons, severe storms, floods, wildfires, earthquakes or other natural disasters, or accidents (including fire or explosion) or similar
events in the areas where we operate our trade centers. We do not carry any property insurance. Should a loss occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from the property.
Nevertheless, we would remain obligated for any bank borrowings or other financial obligations related to the property. It is also possible that if we were to obtain insurance, third-party insurance carriers would not be able to maintain reinsurance
sufficient to cover any losses that may be incurred. Any material uninsured loss could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are a holding company and rely on dividends paid by our subsidiaries for our funding requirements.

As a holding company, we depend upon the receipt of dividends from our subsidiaries to pay dividends to our
shareholders and satisfy our obligations. The ability of our direct and indirect subsidiaries to pay dividends to their shareholders (including us) is subject to relevant shareholders agreements or constitutional documents and restrictions
contained in the loan agreements of such subsidiaries or other instruments.

In addition, the ability of our subsidiaries in
the PRC to pay dividends to their shareholders is subject to the requirements of PRC law. PRC regulations permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.
Dividends may not be paid until cumulative prior years losses are made up. As a result, if our subsidiaries in the PRC incur losses, such losses may impair their ability to pay dividends or other distributions to us, which would restrict our
ability to pay dividends and to service our indebtedness. Our PRC subsidiaries are required to make monthly contributions to the social security plan and the housing reserve fund maintained for their employees, consisting of pension benefits,
personal injury insurance, maternity insurance and medical and unemployment benefits. In addition, some of our PRC subsidiaries may be required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits based on their articles of association each year to
its PRC surplus reserve until the cumulative amount of such reserves and fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. As of March 31, 2011, we did not have any PRC surplus reserve for China Tieling Northeast or any accumulated profits that were
unrestricted and available for distribution.

Any occurrence of avian influenza, influenza A H1N1 or other widespread public health
problems could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2003 and
January 2004, there were media reports regarding the spread of the H5N1 virus, or avian influenza, among birds and in particular poultry, as well as some isolated cases in countries outside Hong Kong and PRC of transmission of the virus to humans.
Further, the World Health Organization in June 2009 raised its pandemic alert level to six, its highest level, in response to an outbreak of influenza A caused by the H1N1 virus that resulted in a number of confirmed cases worldwide. We cannot
assure that there will not be a serious outbreak of a contagious disease in the PRC in the future. A renewed outbreak of SARS, pandemic avian influenza, influenza A H1N1 or other widespread public health problems in the PRC could have a material
adverse effect on the PRC economy and our property market generally, and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Restrictions on foreign currency exchange may limit our ability to obtain and remit foreign currency or to utilize our revenues effectively.

We currently receive substantially all of our agricultural logistics business revenues in Renminbi through our
ownership and operation of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling. However, certain of our expenses, including labor costs for our employees in Hong Kong, rental expenses for our office space in Hong Kong and advertising expenses for
advertising in Hong Kong and overseas media are denominated in foreign currencies, mostly Hong Kong dollars and U.S. dollars. As a result, any restriction on currency exchange may limit our ability to use revenues generated in Renminbi to pay our
foreign currency denominated expenses and service and repay our foreign currency denominated indebtedness. Our ability to satisfy our foreign currency denominated debt obligations depends upon the ability of our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC
to obtain and remit sufficient foreign currency. Our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC must present certain documents to the designated foreign exchange bank before they can obtain and remit foreign currency out of the PRC (including, in the case
of dividends, evidence that the relevant PRC taxes have been paid and, in the case of shareholder loans, evidence of the registration of the loan with the relevant local office of the State Administration for Foreign Exchange). We cannot assure that
our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC will not encounter difficulty in the future when undertaking these activities. If our PRC subsidiaries are unable to remit dividends to us, we would be unable to make payments of interest and/or principal on
our foreign currency denominated indebtedness.

We have exposure to general real estate investment risks.

Real estate investments, like many other types of long-term investments, have historically experienced significant fluctuations in value,
and specific market conditions and cycles may result in occasional or permanent reductions in the value of our investments. Property cash flows and the marketability and value of real property will depend on many factors beyond our control,
including, without limitation:



| |  |  | adverse changes in international, national, regional and local economic and market conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in interest rates or financial markets;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuating local real estate conditions and changes in local laws and regulations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes or promulgation and enforcement of governmental regulations relating to land use and zoning, environmental, occupational and safety matters;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | existence of uninsured or uninsurable risks; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

The cyclical nature of the real estate industry could adversely affect our results of operations.

The results of our real estate operations are affected by the cyclical nature of the real estate industry in the PRC. Property values and rents are affected by, among other factors, supply and demand of
comparable properties, interest rates, unemployment rates, inflation, the rate of economic growth, tax laws and political and economic developments in the PRC. We cannot assure you that property values and rents will not decline in the future. A
significant downturn in demand for our units would result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations are subject to extensive governmental regulation, and we are susceptible to changes in policies related to the real estate market in the PRC.

In order to develop and operate our projects, we must obtain various permits, licenses, certificates and other approvals from the relevant
administrative authorities at various stages of development, including land-use rights documents, planning permits, construction permits, and certificates or confirmations of completion and acceptance. Each approval is dependent on the satisfaction
of certain pre-conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fulfill the pre-conditions necessary to obtain required governmental approvals, or that we will be able to adapt to new laws, regulations or policies that may come into effect
from time to time with respect to the real estate market in general or the particular processes with respect to the grant of approvals in China. There may also be delays on the part of relevant administrative bodies in reviewing our applications and
granting approvals. If we fail to obtain, or experience material delays in obtaining, the requisite governmental approvals, the development, sale and lease of our projects could be substantially disrupted, which would result in a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our principal shareholder has substantial control over us and
can affect decisions made by our shareholders.

As of July 1, 2011, our principal shareholder, Mr. Cheng
Chung Hing, Ricky, our Chairman, together with his affiliates, controls 37,338,104 of our outstanding ordinary shares and 100,000 of our outstanding preferred shares, which together represented 40,529,329, or 58.88%, of our outstanding voting
shares.

##### Table of Contents

Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky has the requisite voting power to exert substantial
influence over actions which require shareholder approval and generally to direct our affairs, including decisions regarding the election of directors, mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and other
significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of the
Company and might reduce the price of our shares. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on the appreciation in price of our ordinary shares for a return
on your investment.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We intend to retain any
future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any dividends paid will be solely at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and the amount of any
dividends will depend on various factors, including, without limitation, market conditions, our strategic plans and prospects, our business opportunities, our financial condition and operating results, working capital requirements and anticipated
cash needs, contractual restrictions and obligations, payments by subsidiaries of cash dividends to us and legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, and other factors that our directors deem significant from time to time. Accordingly, the return on
your investment in us will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our ordinary shares. Our ordinary shares may not appreciate in value or maintain the price at which you purchased units. You may not realize a return on your
investment and may even lose the entire amount of your investment.

It may be difficult to effect service of process upon us or our
directors or to enforce any judgments obtained from non-PRC courts, and it therefore may be difficult for you to resolve any grievance you have with us.

Our operations are substantially conducted and substantially all of our assets are located within China. Our directors reside in Hong Kong and China, where substantially all of their assets are located.
Investors may experience difficulties in effecting service of process upon us, our directors or our senior management in China and it may not be possible to effect such service of process outside China. In addition, our PRC legal counsel has advised
us that China does not have treaties with the United States and many other countries providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of court judgments. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in the United
States or certain other jurisdictions may be difficult or impossible.

The recent nuclear crisis in Japan may have a negative impact to
our logistics cities in China.

There may be chances that large amount of radioactive substances being released from
the Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Plant in Japan to China, where our two projects in Shandong and Liaoning may be subject to radiation exposure. If there is a massive release of radiation resulting from complete meltdown of the Fuksushima Daichi Nuclear
Plant, the radiation would have contaminated the areas up to several hundred kilometers from the nuclear reactor. The distance between Fukushima and Shandong Province is approximately 1,896 kilometres (1,178 miles), where China Northeast Logistics
CityDezhou will be located while the distance between Fukushima and Liaoning Province is approximately 1,000 kilometers (621 miles), where China Northeast Logistics CityTieling is located.

China has deployed radiation test vehicles around major cities in China since the Fukushima nuclear crisis, especially the coastal areas
close to Japan. The Ministry of Environmental Protection is responsible for monitoring the situation and has updated analyses daily at www.mep.gov.cn.

Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares

The market price and trading volume of our ordinary shares may be volatile.

The market price of our ordinary shares may become highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, trading volume in our ordinary shares may fluctuate and cause significant price variations
to occur. Some of the factors that could result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our ordinary shares include, among other things: actual or anticipated changes in our current or future financial performance and general market and
economic conditions. We cannot assure you that the market price of our ordinary shares will not fluctuate or decline significantly.

Future sales of our ordinary shares could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of ordinary shares, or the availability of shares for future sales, on the market
price of our ordinary shares. Sales of substantial amounts of ordinary shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares. In addition, a large supply of saleable ordinary
shares, such as those underlying warrants sold in our May11, 2011 offering or other shares eligible for future sale, may adversely affect the prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares.

Our recent securities offering could prevent the acquisition or sale of our business.

The exercise price of the warrants sold in our recent offering may be decreased if we issue securities below the warrant exercise price or if we fail to meet certain financial targets set forth in the
warrants. The exercise of the warrants could further dilute the holdings of existing shareholders.

In addition, the issuance
of our ordinary shares to the investors upon exercise of the offered warrants could have an anti-takeover effect because such issuance will make it more difficult for, or discourage an attempt by, a party to obtain control of the Company by tender
offer or other means. Such issuance of ordinary shares will increase the number of shares entitled to vote, increase the number of votes required to approve a change of control of the Company, and dilute the interest of a party attempting to obtain
control of the Company.

Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC

Economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

All of our agricultural logistics business is conducted in, and all of our agricultural logistics revenues are derived
from, China. The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including, but not limited to: structure; governmental involvement; level of development; growth rate of gross domestic product, or GDP;
capital re-investment; allocation of resources; control of foreign currency; and rate of inflation. The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC government has
implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in
regulating industries by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over Chinas economic growth through allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and
providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

##### Table of Contents

Policies and other measures taken by the PRC government to regulate the economy could have a
significant negative impact on economic conditions in China, with a resulting negative impact on our business. For example, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected by:



| |  |  | new laws and regulations and the interpretations of those laws and regulations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the introduction of measures to control inflation or stimulate growth;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the rate or method of taxation; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversions and remittances abroad.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previous macroeconomic measures taken by the PRC government to manage economic growth could have adverse economic consequences, and recent fiscal
stimulus measures may not be successful in offsetting a decline in the rate of economic growth in the PRC.

In previous
years, the PRC government had periodically taken measures to slow economic growth to a more manageable level, in response to concerns about Chinas historical high growth rate in industrial production, bank credit, fixed investment and money
supply. These measures have included macroeconomic measures to control perceived over investment in the real property market. More recently, along with a decline in economic growth worldwide, the rate of growth of the PRC economy has slowed down. In
2010, Chinas real GDP grew by a rate of an estimated 10.3% as compared to a rate of 9.1% and 9.6% in 2009 and 2008, respectively. In response to the recent global economic downturn, and a resulting slowdown in the PRC economy, the PRC
government has adopted increasingly flexible macroeconomic policies, including an announced fiscal stimulus package, aimed at offsetting the slowdown brought by the financial crisis. These policies include measures specifically designed to encourage
development of the domestic property market, which represents a reversal on policies implemented since 2003 designed to tighten control on the real property market. However, we cannot assure you that the PRC governments fiscal stimulus package
will be successful in offsetting the slowdown resulting from the current economic downturn and deterioration in the global credit markets, or that restrictive measures already in place will not adversely affect our business.

The PRC legal system has inherent uncertainties that could negatively impact our business.

Our business is operated through, and our revenues are generated by, our operating subsidiaries in the PRC. Substantially all of our
assets are located in the PRC. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, the PRC government has issued laws and regulations dealing with
economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their
nonbinding nature, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, as the legal system in China develops, changes in such laws and regulations, their interpretation or their enforcement may have a
negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

We are subject to risks of fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Renminbi and foreign
currencies.

From 1994 until recently, the conversion of Renminbi into U.S. dollars was based on rates set by the
Peoples Bank of China, which were set daily based on the previous days PRC interbank foreign exchange market rate and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. On July 21, 2005, the Peoples Bank of China announced
a reform of its exchange rate system and revalued the Renminbi to RMB8.11 to US$1.00. Under the reform, the Renminbi would no longer be effectively linked to the United States dollar but instead would be allowed to fluctuate within a narrow and
managed band against a basket of foreign currencies. We cannot assure you that such exchange rate will not fluctuate widely against the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar or any other foreign currency in the future. The PRC government may adopt further
reforms of its exchange rate system, including making the Renminbi freely convertible in the future. However, we cannot predict if or when these further reforms will occur. Although currently a substantial portion of our revenues, expenses and bank
loans are denominated in Renminbi, we do have loans that are denominated in Hong Kong dollars. Fluctuation of the value of Renminbi will affect the amount of our non-Renminbi debt service in Renminbi terms since we have to convert Renminbi into
non-Renminbi currencies to service our foreign debt. Since a substantial portion of income and profits are denominated in Renminbi, any appreciation of Renminbi will also increase the value of, and any dividends payable on, our shares in foreign
currency terms. Conversely, any depreciation of Renminbi will decrease the value of, and any dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms.

Our payments of the statutory employee welfare may deemed as inadequate and we may subject to administrative penalties.

According to PRC law and Chinese regulations for social insurance and housing funds, our PRC subsidiaries are required to make
contributions to the social insurance, including (i) pension; (ii) medical insurance; (iii) unemployment insurance; (iv) work related injury insurance; (v) maternity insurance, and to the housing funds for its employees. Our
PRC subsidiaries have been paying for social insurance.

Our PRC subsidiaries have not made contributions for the employee
housing funds. If requested by the local housing fund administration authority, our PRC subsidiaries shall make up the housing funds contributions for their employees and may be subject to certain administrative fines. While we believe that the
amounts of any such payments or fines would be insignificant and the likelihood of our having to pay them is remote, our belief may be mistaken.

Risk Related to U.S. Taxation

There is a risk that we could be treated as a U.S.
domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could result in a significant U.S. federal income tax liability to us.

Section 7874(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, or Section 7874(b), generally provides that a corporation organized outside the United States which acquires, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a
plan or series of related transactions substantially all of the assets of a corporation organized in the United States will be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if shareholders of the acquired corporation own at
least 80% (of either the voting power or the value) of the stock of the acquiring corporation after the acquisition. If Section 7874(b) applied to the liquidation of Man Sang Holdings Inc. in 2009, then we would be subject to U.S. federal
income tax on our worldwide taxable income following the liquidation.

We believe that under Section 7874(b), we should
not be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes because Man Sang Holdings Inc. transferred no assets to us (other than rights to a potential tax refund, which was insignificant). However, the IRS may assert that we are
subject to U.S. federal income tax on our worldwide income after the liquidation.

##### Table of Contents

U.S. holders of our ordinary shares may suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a
Passive Foreign Investment Company.

There is a risk that we will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. Our status as a PFIC could result in a reduction in the after-tax return to U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares and may cause a reduction in the value of such shares. We will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year in which
(i) at least 75% of our gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of all of our assets produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income includes dividends, interest,
royalties and rents that are not derived in the active conduct of a trade or business. Based on the projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, we do not believe we were a PFIC for the year ended March 31, 2011. The U.S.
Internal Revenue Service or a U.S. court could determine that we are a PFIC in any year. If we are classified as a PFIC, U.S. holders of our ordinary shares could be subject to greater U.S. income tax liability than might otherwise apply, imposition
of U.S. income tax in advance of when tax would otherwise apply, and detailed tax filing requirements that would not otherwise apply. The PFIC rules are complex and U.S. holders of our ordinary shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors
regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to them in their particular circumstances. See Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.



|Item 4. | Information on the Company
|------- | --------------------------

A. History
and Development of the Company

China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited, or China Metro, was incorporated in the British Virgin
Islands as an international business company under the name Man Sang International (B.V.I.) Limited, or MSBVI, under the International Business Companies Act on August 14, 1995, and automatically re-registered as a business company on
January 1, 2007 pursuant to The BVI Business Companies Act, 2004. Prior to August 25, 2009, MSBVI was a wholly owned subsidiary of Man Sang Holdings, Inc., or MSHI, a United States domestic issuer incorporated in the State of Nevada whose
ordinary shares were listed on the NYSE Amex (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange). On August 25, 2009, at a general meeting, the shareholders of MSHI resolved that MSHI liquidated and dissolved, whereby we were effectively
redomiciled from the United States to the British Virgin Islands and, as part of this transaction (the Reorganziation), MSBVI became the successor of MSHI and a non-United States domestic issuer whose ordinary shares are listed on the
NYSE Amex. From its inception in August 1995 through the completion of the dissolution and liquidation on August 25, 2009, MSBVI was a wholly owned subsidiary of MSHI. As a result of the dissolution and liquidation of MSHI on August 25,
2009, MSBVI became the listed holding company of our group. On March 19, 2010, MSBVI was renamed China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited. Our ordinary shares are traded on the NYSE Amex under the ticker symbol CNR.

Upon the effective date of the Reorganization, the Company and its subsidiaries continued to conduct the business previously conducted by
MSHI and its subsidiaries (including the Company). Although the dissolution and liquidation of MSHI resulted in the cessation of MSHI as the holding company of the Group, the dissolution and liquidation had no material impact on our financial
condition or operating results, other than the costs incurred in connection with its dissolution and liquidation. As the Company contractually assumed all rights, title, obligations and liabilities of MSHI upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the agreement and plan of the dissolution and liquidation, there was a continuation of the risks and benefits to the ultimate controlling owners that existed prior to the dissolution and liquidation of MSHI. Accordingly, the
Reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to pooling-of-interests. On this basis, the Company has been treated as the holding company of MSHI in all periods presented in the
financial statements rather than from the effective date of the Reorganization.

Subsequent to the Reorganization, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, or the Merger
Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2010, by and among the Company, China Metro-Rural Limited and Creative Gains Limited (Creative Gains) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), Creative Gains was merged with and into China
Metro (the Merger). Immediately after the Merger, Creative Gains ceased and China Metro became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of equity interest of China Metro-Rural Limited has been accounted for as a
combination of entities under common control in a manner similar to pooling of interests as both the Company and China Metro-Rural Limited were controlled by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky immediately prior to and immediately after the Merger. On
this basis, the consolidated financial statements of China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited for periods prior to the Merger have been restated to include, to the extent of the equity interest of China Metro-Rural Limited held by Mr. Cheng Chung
Hing, Ricky, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of China Metro-Rural Limited for those periods as if China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited had owned China Metro-Rural Limited at the beginning of the financial period reported in the
consolidated financial statements or when MSBVI and China Metro-Rural Limited came under common control by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, whichever is later, and all assets and liabilities of China Metro-Rural Limited have been stated at
historical carrying amounts. The acquisition by the Company of interest owned by all the shareholders of China Metro, including Mr. Cheng, was treated as an equity transaction at the completion date of the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, our principal operating subsidiaries are China Metro-Rural Limited and its subsidiaries as well as Man Sang
International Limited and its subsidiaries.

In addition, on July 28, 2010, the Company declared a dividend to its
shareholders which was satisfied by way of distribution in specie of the entire equity interest in Man Sang International Limited, or MSIL held by the Company, represented approximately 494 million ordinary shares of MSIL and was completed in
August 2010. Upon the completion of the Distribution, the Group no longer held interest in MSIL and has discontinued its pearls and real estate businesses, or the Discontinued Operations, which was previously operated through MSIL. Selected
financial data of the Discontinued Operations is set forth above in Item 3. Key InformationA. Selected Financial Data.

B. Business Overview

China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited, or China Metro, is focused on being one of the leading developers and operators of large scale,
integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers in Northern China that facilitate a relationship between sellers and buyers of agricultural products and small goods, provide relevant physical platform and timely marketing information and
intelligence, provide a transparent and competitive market price discovery mechanism and provide infrastructure to enhance the living standards of those from the rural area.

Our agricultural logistics business is comprised of the (1) development and operation of integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers and supporting facilities; and (2) property
management which engages in the management of developed properties within the logistics platformsknown as China Northeast Logistics Cities. We currently are developing two locations in the PRC, namely Northeast Logistics City in Tieling City,
Liaoning Province, or China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, and Dezhou Northeast Logistics City in Dezhou City, Shandong Province, or China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou.

Each China Northeast Logistics City is an integrated agricultural logistics and trade center platform which mainly focuses on agriculture
industry, including agricultural products, agricultural machineries, fertilizers and chemicals, and small goods. Our first project, China Northeast Logistics CityTieling is currently operating, and, planning and construction work for our
second integrated agricultural logistics and trade center platform, China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou, commenced in June 2011 in Dezhou City, Shandong Province.

Upon the completion of its first phase, or Phase I, China Northeast Logistics
CityTieling will have a planned total gross floor area, or GFA, of approximately 2.0 million square meters. We sell and lease trade center units at China Northeast Logistics CityTieling to agricultural traders, farmers, domestic and
international suppliers, distributors of raw materials and agricultural products, and we provide superior facilities and an integrated platform from which to display and sell their agricultural or related products to buyers. We focus on developing
our trade centers by providing superior project planning and managing completed trade centers with quality services. We intend to maintain an optimal mix between trade center units for sale and trade center units held as investment properties for
lease. As of March 31, 2011, a total GFA of approximately 441,230 square meters (excluding self-used properties) were completed and more than 3,000 independent individuals had entered into sales and purchase agreements to purchase more than
approximately 269,000 square meters of GFA, or approximately 61%, of our completed GFA. As of March 31, 2011, we completed sales of GFA of approximately 269,000 square meters (including approximately 29,000 square meters of residential
properties). For such sales, we had outstanding accounts receivable of approximately HK$163,191,000, or 28% of such sales, as of March 31, 2011. An additional approximately 208,000 square meters of GFA are under construction. In addition, we
have GFA of approximately 256,000 square meters and approximately 91,000 square meters, which included GFA under construction, available for sale and pre-sale, and for lease, respectively, of which approximately 123,000 square meters for sale and
approximately 22,000 square meters for lease have been completed.

We entered into a framework agreement to develop China
Northeast Logistics CityDezhou with the Dezhou municipal government in July 2010 and a groundbreaking ceremony was held on October 8, 2010. China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou is located in Dezhou City of Shandong Province,
approximately 60 minutes drive from Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province. We are in the process of acquiring land use rights for the first parcels of land for China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou, and it is expected to provide up to
total GFA of 0.4 million square meters during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. The first phase of construction for China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou is expected to be completed in 2014.

Each China Northeast Logistics City will provide a wide range of products and services necessary for agricultural production, including
farm equipment, financial services, grain agronomy, marketing, storage and transportation. Each China Northeast Logistics City will provide trade centers covering agricultural products such as corns, rice, beans, seeds, pesticides, fertilizers,
agricultural machinery and other related tools as well as industrial products such as leather, textile and clothing hardware and accessories, building materials, specialized vehicles and their spare parts. We will also facilitate and make available
to our trade center tenants and their customers a full range of integrated agricultural logistics and trade facilities and services, including transportation services, warehouses, agricultural logistics liaison services, on-site agricultural
logistics service providers and quality testing services. The agricultural logistics services will be provided by on-site joint venture and third party service providers in our facilities. In addition, we will provide value-added exhibition and
conference, residential, hotel and office facilities and procure other parties to provide banking and advertising services as well as food and beverage services. Our business model will be further augmented by the on-site presence of PRC government
agencies, which offer a diverse range of services, including registration and compliance, customs, tax administration, public security and human resources services primarily to trade center tenants, farmers and other customers.

Phase I trade centers at China Northeast Logistics CityTieling commenced construction in January 2008, was partially completed in
February 2009 and began operating in August 2009. Our development activities consist of site selection, land acquisition, project design and construction of trade centers, warehouse facilities and supporting commercial and residential facilities.
Our operations consist of the operation of these trade centers and facilities on our project sites. China Northeast Logistics CityTieling is treated as a real estate developer by the government authorities in Liaoning Province and has obtained
a Qualification Certificate for Real Estate Development Enterprise in Grade III with an effective term until December 21, 2013. China Northeast Logistics CityTieling is required to either renew this qualification certificate or apply for
a qualification certificate in a higher grade once the current qualification has expired.

China Northeast Logistics CityTieling as a whole, including all trade centers and
supporting commercial, warehouse and residential facilities, is expected to cover a total planned GFA of approximately 6 million square meters upon completion of all phases at the end of 2019. China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou is
expected to have a total site area of 7 million square meters, which is expected to provide GFA of approximately 15 million square meters upon completion of all phases in 2021.

As of March 31, 2011, our total investment for Phase I of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling is approximately RMB1,573
million (US$239 million).

All of our agricultural logistics business revenues during the past three years were derived from
our operations at China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, and were from sales of trade center units. China Northeast Logistics CityTieling began to generate revenue in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 with net revenue of
approximately HK$1.1 million, all of which were contributed from sales of trade center units. Net revenues in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were approximately HK$337.7 million, with HK$336.7 million, HK$0.6 million and HK$0.4 million
were contributed from sales of trade center units, rental income from leases of trade center units and property management fee income, respectively. Net revenues in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 were approximately HK$581.6 million, with
HK$575.6 million, HK$4.5 million and HK$1.5 million were contributed from sales of trade center units, rental income from leases of trade center units and property management fee income, respectively. Although we do not generate significant revenue
from the agricultural logistics and other supporting services available at our trade centers, these services facilitate the operations of our trade center tenants and form an integral part of our trade center operations. In addition, the breadth of
our supporting facilities and services distinguishes us from other trade centers in the PRC, and we believe they are important factors in attracting trade center tenants, farmers and customers.

Changes in fair values of our investment properties (which include investment properties under construction) were approximately HK$6.5
million, HK$155.6 million and HK$111.5 million, in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011, changes in fair values of investment properties represented 6.7%, 70.4% and
41.3% of our net profit from our continuing operation after taking into account relevant deferred income tax.

Completed Property Development

Phase I of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling will cover a planned GFA of approximately 2.0 million square meters.
Construction of 441,230 square meters of trade centers and residential properties was completed as of March 31, 2011.

Properties
under Development

We are currently constructing additional trade centers and supporting facilities for Phase I of
China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, with a planned GFA of approximately 208,000 square meters.

Properties Planned for Future
Development

We plan to develop and construct additional trade centers, supporting commercial office buildings, hotels,
warehouses and residential facilities on the remaining area of Phase I of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, which will be approximately 1.6 million square meters. We expect to complete Phase I construction by 2019.

The planned site area for Phase II of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling will be approximately 2.1 million square meters
according to a framework agreement that was signed in 2006. We are in the initial planning stages for Phase II of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, and we have already obtained land-use rights certificates for an area of approximately
0.4 million square meters.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that we are well-positioned to take advantage of the continued strong growth in the trade of agricultural industrial materials as a result of Chinas growing position as a global
manufacturing and export center and Chinas increasing domestic consumption. We believe that we have the following competitive strengths:

Our innovative business model provides an integrated platform for our trade center tenants and their customers to receive a comprehensive range of
trade, agricultural logistics and supporting services.

The scale and scope of each China Northeast Logistics City, which
serves agricultural and related industries, attracts buyers and sellers seeking to take advantage of the synergies present within our integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers. Buyers are able to meet their purchasing needs for a wide
range of agricultural raw materials and products as well as effectively diversify and tailor their sourcing needs. Sellers are able to streamline their business operations by taking advantage of the full range of on-site agricultural logistics and
trade solutions available at our trade centers. In addition, hotel and restaurant facilities are available on-site for the convenience of trade center tenants and their customers. As our trade centers serve as a wholly integrated, single shop for
both buyers and sellers, we believe this business model will continue to set us apart from our competitors and attract new tenants and customers, while allowing us to retain our current tenants and customers.

Our current integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers at China Northeast Logistics
CityTieling are strategically located in fast growing agricultural, manufacturing and economic centers in Manchuria near well-developed transportation networks and infrastructure.

Manchuria is comprised of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces.

The great Manchurian plain (average elevation 1,000 ft/300 m), crossed by the Liao and Songhua Rivers, is the only extensively level area
in that region. Fertile and densely populated, it has been a major manufacturing and agricultural center of China. As one of the few areas in the country suitable for large-scale mechanized agriculture, it has numerous collective farms. Long, severe
winters limit harvests to once a year, but considerable quantities of soybeans are produced. Sweet potatoes, beans and cereals (including rice, wheat, millet and kaoliang) are also grown, and cotton, flax and sugar beets are raised as industrial
crops. The processing of soybeans into oil, animal feed, and fertilizer is centered in cities in or near the plain, notably Changchun, Harbin and Shenyang. Livestock are raised in the north and the west, and fishing is important off the Yellow Sea
coast.

In addition, China Northeast Logistics CityTieling is connected to each of the major railway arteries in
Northeast China as well as at least two major highways linking each of the major cities in the Manchuria region, Russia, North Korea and South Korea. Located in Bohai sea region, China Northeast Logistics CityTieling also has access to heavy
port facilities in the Yellow Sea coast.

Our planned integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers at China Northeast Logistics
CityDezhou will be strategically located in fast growing agricultural and industrial economic centers in Northern China near well-developed transportation networks and infrastructure.

China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou is strategically located in the northern of Shandong Province which has a comprehensive
transportation network forming a gateway between south and north. It is only a three hour drive from Beijing and eight hour drive from Shanghai. The population of Dezhou City and Shandong Province are over 5 million and 94 million,
respectively. The gross domestic product, or GDP, of Shandong Province was US$596 billion in 2010, which ranked third among Chinese provinces.

Shandong is historically well known for both agricultural and industrial outputs such as corn, cotton, fertilizers and wheat as well as rolled steel, tractors and farming machinery.

We believe the strategic location and agricultural and industrial production near China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou offers
significant opportunity for us.

We enjoy strong municipal and regional government support in the locations in which we currently plan to
operate.

In selecting new sites for our projects, we strategically seek out locations in which local and regional
governments have actively expressed a desire to develop integrated logistics and trade services in their long-term plans. In so doing, we are able to ensure that our business operations are closely aligned with the long-term economic development
plans of the region in which we develop and operate. With respect to China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, with local administrative support, we were able to secure a plot of land in excess of one square kilometer quickly, efficiently and in
accordance with relevant approval procedures. Pursuant to the terms of our mutual agreement, representatives of the municipal governments undertook or will undertake the responsibility for relocating all prior occupants of the land as well as
improving roads and infrastructure within each China Northeast Logistics City. In addition, as part of a broader effort to improve local transportation infrastructure, government authorities have also undertaken construction of new roads and other
supporting infrastructure surrounding each China Northeast Logistics City. Several PRC Government agencies also plan to have an on-site presence at each China Northeast Logistics City to assist trade center tenants and other visitors. We believe
each China Northeast Logistics City will remain an important part of the municipal and regional governments overall strategy to develop the local economy by creating new jobs, contributing increased tax revenues and attracting new
manufacturing plants and commercial development to the surrounding area.

We have a strong, experienced management team with a demonstrated record of success.

We consider the strength of our senior management team to be fundamental to the success of our integrated agricultural logistics and trade
center development projects. We rely on our senior managements experience and insight on important factors that contribute to the success of our projects, such as careful site selection, detailed project management, stringent cost control and
effective quality control. Our senior management team also has extensive experience in real estate operations and financial management, which we believe provides us with a key competitive advantage. Our financial team includes professionals with
experience in financial management, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets financing and corporate restructuring. Furthermore, we have developed a strong sales team with specialized experience in each of the different trade and agricultural
logistics services industries represented at China Northeast Logistics CityTieling. We believe our management teams comprehensive industry background has helped us to achieve our past success and will enable us to successfully implement
our growth strategies in the future.

Strategy

Our objective is to become the leading developer and operator of large-scale, agricultural and industrial integrated logistics platforms in the PRC. To achieve this objective, we intend to implement the
following strategies:

Maximize occupancy rates, rental rates, sales prices and traffic flow in our existing and planned trade centers.

We plan on maximizing occupancy rates, rental rates, sales prices and traffic flow in our existing and planned industrial
integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers by implementing the following initiatives:



| |  |  | Provide preferential rental terms to maximize occupancy rates and increase rental rates and sales prices as occupancy rates increase. Our
operating strategy of the integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers aims to first achieve high occupancy rates and attract a high-quality tenant base, and then increase rental rates and sales prices steadily as occupancy rates increase. We
intend to attract quality tenants to our trade centers by offering preferential rental rates and other more attractive leasing terms than those offered by our competitors, such as rent free periods based on advance rental payments made by tenants.
We intend to increase rental rates after the initial lease period, by which time we believe our tenants who have established their business in our trade centers and are benefiting from the full range of integrated agricultural logistics, trade and
supporting facilities will have strong incentives to renew their leases. We anticipate favorable upward trends in rental rates and sales prices for our trade center units, driven by (1) continuing growth in the manufacturing and export
industries in China, which we expect to generate additional demand for space in integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers, and (2) higher quality features to be developed in the trade centers of Phase II of China Northeast Logistics
CityTieling, which we expect will be offered at higher rental rates and sales prices than those charged for trade centers in Phase I. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our average selling price was HK$3,482 per square meter,
represented an increase of approximately 8% as compared with the average selling price of HK$3,228 per square meter in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

| |  |  | Continue to offer integrated agricultural logistics services to increase customers access to the global supply chain. We intend to
optimize our offerings of integrated agricultural logistics services, including warehouse, liaison and on-site agricultural logistics services and transportation services, in order to facilitate individual needs and order requirements of trade
center tenants and their customers. By integrating agricultural logistics and trade functions and providing ready access to necessary services for trade center tenants and their customers, we believe we will be able to outperform our competitors in
advancing and expediting the business interests of trade center tenants.

| |  |  | Leverage and improve supporting infrastructure and services. We will seek to enhance the market demand for our trade center units by leveraging
and improving the auxiliary services available to our trade center tenants and their customers. In developing supporting infrastructure and services at China Northeast Logistics CityTieling, we have entered into strategic alliances and
arrangements with a variety of third party service providers, including one of Chinas leading banks, Agricultural Credit Union, and a telecommunications company. We have also signed non-binding memorandum of understanding with two
state-owned enterprises (China Grain and Logistics Corp) to be anchor tenants and entered into a non-binding strategic alliance with Liaoning Chemical Fertilizers Co. Ltd. to build the largest fertilizer trade market in Liaoning. In addition, we
will offer conference and exhibition facilities to the agricultural and related industries participants.

| |  |  | Building a strong brand by expanding into other cities and regions. We intend to expand the brand name China Northeast Logistics
City into other cities and regions in the PRC by establishing a network of China Northeast Logistics Cities. By creating a network, we hope to create synergy between China Northeast Logistics Cities in different regions where customers from
each China Northeast Logistics City will be attracted to one another, thus creating more transactions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Build our market
position and enhance our brand recognition.

We intend to augment our sales and marketing program to further strengthen our
market position and enhance brand recognition by using a variety of promotional, advertising, public relations and customer service campaigns in China. We will emphasize the competitive strengths of our trade centers, including strategic location,
integration into the global agricultural logistics supply chain, strong supporting infrastructure and services and high quality and superior management in our marketing efforts. Our marketing promotions and advertising campaigns will target domestic
and multinational companies active in the industries represented at our trade centers. We believe that these marketing activities will better enable us to promote our trade centers, attract quality trade center tenants and enhance our brand
recognition among domestic and international buyers and suppliers of industrial materials and finished goods, creating higher demand for our trade center units.

Achieve and maintain an optimal mix between properties for sale and investment properties for lease.

We do not have any limitations or constraints in sales or leasing. We intend to maintain an optimal mix of properties generating long-term recurring income and capital appreciation, and properties
generating profit from sales. We intend to strategically balance the amount of GFA for sale and for investment in our completed projects and properties under development and planned for future development in order to enhance our working capital
position and to finance a portion of our project development costs.

Trade Center Project

We currently have one large-scale integrated agricultural logistics and trade center project in various stages of development.

Our trade center project is classified into:



| |  |  | Properties under development, representing properties for which we have obtained land-use rights certificates and have planned or commenced
construction. One of the properties under development is the Construction Materials Depot trade center, which is a construction materials and accessories trade center.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Investment properties under construction, representing properties held for long-term investment and for leasing purposes upon completion.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Properties held for sale, representing properties for which we have completed construction and are ready to be sold and occupied by potential buyers
and tenants.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Properties under planning, representing development activities consisting of site selection, land acquisition and project design.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In determining the estimated commencement and completion dates for our properties under development and
planned for future development, we rely on certain assumptions, including that: (1) there will be no material changes with respect to the general economic conditions in the PRC, performance of the PRC property market or demand for agricultural
materials, particularly in the regions where we plan to develop such properties; (2) there will be no material change in the regulatory regime governing the real estate market in the PRC which adversely affects our ability to develop such
properties; (3) there will be no significant obstacles in obtaining necessary licenses and approvals to develop such properties; (4) we will be able to obtain adequate funding through internal financing, bank borrowings and shareholder
loans, as well as expanding our sources of external financing, including access to debt and equity financing, to develop such properties; (5) we will be able to obtain sites identified for future development pursuant to the terms of the master
agreements governing the construction and development of such projects; (6) we will be able to obtain land-use rights and building ownership certificates necessary to commence development of such projects; (7) the services rendered by
independent contractors engaged in the construction of such properties will be performed in a satisfactory manner that meets our quality requirements; (8) there will be no material increase in the costs of construction materials and labor in
the PRC; and (9) we will not be involved in any material legal or other governmental proceedings arising from the transfer or development of such properties.

Land-Use Rights and Building Ownership Rights

There are two types
of title registrations in the PRC: land registration and building registration. Land registration is evidenced by the issuance of a land-use rights certificate by the relevant authority. A land-use rights certificate is the evidentiary legal
document to demonstrate that the registered land user has the lawful right to use the land during the term stated therein, including the right to assign, mortgage or lease the land. Building registration is evidenced by the issuance of a building
ownership certificate. The holder of a land-use rights certificate who is issued a building ownership certificate holds land-use rights and owns the building erected on the land. All holders of land-use rights, and other rights in respect of the
land, such as the right to buildings erected on the land, must register their lawful state-owned land-use rights, as well as ownership rights to the buildings. Under PRC law, land-use rights and building ownership rights which are duly registered
are protected by law.

PRC law prescribes different maximum periods for the grant of a land-use right by the PRC Government to
the land user, subject to the payment of the land grant fee by the land user. The maximum period depends upon the use of the land, and varies from 40 years for commercial, tourism and entertainment uses to 70 years for residential uses. The most
common term is 50 years, such as for industrial, warehouse, office and other uses. For further information, please see Regulation.

China Northeast Logistics CityTieling

We have received land-use rights with respect to approximately 1,788,308 square meters of a total site area of approximately
3.9 million square meters planned for development for China Northeast Logistics CityTieling. Other than as discussed below, we have obtained all necessary land-use rights and building ownership certificates to conduct our operations at
China Northeast Logistics CityTieling. The land-use rights for the Phase I are for a period ranging from 40 to 70 years commencing from the respective dates as specified in the land-use rights certificates.

We have paid for and signed a land grant contract with the government for approximately 1,788,308 square meters of land planned for use
in Phase I and 420,312 square meters of land planned for use on Phase II, which together representing approximately 57%, of the total site area for China Northeast Logistics CityTieling. As of March 31, 2011, we received all land-use
rights for Phase I of our development. All the land has gone through auctions.

Under relevant PRC laws and regulations, idle
land is subject to (a) payment of idle fees equivalent to 20% of the land grant fees paid for these parcels of land, or (b) in more serious cases, potential forfeiture.

Based on the advice of our PRC legal counsel, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, we believe that we comply with relevant PRC laws
and regulations with respect to the land and we do not believe our land is subject to payment of any idle fees or forfeiture.

Sales and
Marketing

As of March 31, 2011, we had a team of approximately 84 sales and marketing and customer services
personnel located in Tieling City who are responsible for the sales, leasing and marketing of the store units in the trade centers and the other properties in China Northeast Logistics CityTieling. Once a project is completed, our sales and
marketing staff will also develop advertising and rental plans for the properties held for rental, and sales plans for the store units to be sold to purchasers of the properties. We will also engage other independent professionals in the PRC to
prepare marketing studies to assist us in developing our advertising and sales and rental plans. This process also includes a determination of target customers, as well as strategies to maximize usage and revenues from the property.

We conduct marketing of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling through a variety of channels, including the network of our founding
shareholders, advertising media, events and exhibitions and activities of trade associations. China Northeast Logistics CityTieling also has its own website www.nlc88.com which provides a platform for promoting China Northeast Logistics
CityTieling and the business carried out therein.

Lease Agreements

China Northeast Logistics CityTieling Phase I

Overview

As of March 31, 2011, we had approximately 1,251 completed
trade center units for lease at Phase I of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling. Leasing of trade center units and commercial facilities is conducted by our sales and marketing department. Prospective tenants complete an application
containing information as to desired location of the rental units and facilities, and pay a nominal deposit. We review the application and, if appropriate, provide a detailed proposal of the rental unit, as well as deposits, rental rates, management
fees and any rent abatement or rent-free periods. Once an agreement is reached with a tenant, a lease agreement is executed.

Preferential Payment Terms

In an effort to attract tenants as part of the initial leasing-out period of Phase I trade center units, we provided early tenants with
preferential rental rates and rent-free periods of up to 24 months for a three-year lease, based primarily on the length of the lease agreements.

We currently offer preferential rental rates to all of our Phase I trade center tenants. The discounts offered to tenants depend on a variety of factors, including the duration of the lease, the type and
location of the trade center for the unit to be leased, and the credit of the tenant. We also offer additional discounts to those tenants who make rental payments in advance. Tenants who make rental payments in advance typically receive a discount
based on the length of the prepayment term. In addition, we offer incentive discounts to existing tenants who choose to enter into new lease agreements following the expiration of their initial lease terms and pay a portion of their rent in advance.
As of March 31, 2011, taking into account the above preferential terms, the average effective monthly rental rate for our Phase I trade center units is approximately RMB 56 per square meter annually (excluding management fees).

The Land System of the PRC

Overview

The Law of the Peoples Republic of China on the Administration of Land(


LOGO
), issued by the National Peoples Congress on June 25, 1986 and amended on August 29, 1998 and further amended on August 28, 2004, distinguishes between the ownership of land and the right to use
land.All land in the PRC is either state-owned or collectively owned, depending on the location of the land.All land in the urban areas of a city or town is state-owned, and all land in the rural areas and all farm land is, unless
otherwise specified by law, collectively owned.The State has the right to resume its ownership of land or the right to use land in accordance with law if required for the public interest.

Although all land in the PRC is owned by the State or by collectives, individuals and entities may obtain land-use rights and hold such
land-use rights for development purposes.Individuals and entities may acquire land-use rights in different ways, the two most important being land grants from local land authorities and land transfers from land users who have already
obtained land-use rights.

Land Grants

National and Local Legislation

In April 1988, the National Peoples
Congress passed an amendment to the constitution of the PRC. The amendment, which allowed for the transfer of state-owned land-use rights for value, paved the way for reforms of the legal regime governing the use of state-owned land and transfer of
state-owned land-use rights. The Decision of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress on Amending the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on the Administration of Land (


LOGO
), adopted by the National Peoples Congress on December 29, 1988, amends the Land Administration Law of the Peoples Republic of China (


LOGO
) to permit the transfer of state-owned land-use rights for value.

On May 19, 1990, the
State Council issued the Regulations of Peoples Republic of China Concerning the Interim Grant and Assignment of Right to Use State Land in Urban Areas(


LOGOLOGO
), or the Urban Land Regulations. These regulations formalized the process of the grant and transfer of land-use rights for consideration. Under this system, the State retains the ultimate ownership of the land. However,
the right to use the land, referred to as land-use rights, can be granted by the State and local governments at or above the county level for a maximum period of 70 years for specific purposes, including for residential and commercial development,
pursuant to a land grant contract and upon payment to the State of a land grant fee for the grant of land-use rights.

The
Urban Land Regulations prescribe different maximum periods of grant for different uses of land as follows:



|                                                                           |  |                      |    | 
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | -------------------- | -- | 
|Use of Land                                                                |  | MaximumPeriod(years) |   
|Commercial, tourism, entertainment                                         |  |                      | 40 | 
|Residential                                                                |  |                      | 70 | 
|Industrial                                                                 |  |                      | 50 | 
|Educational, scientific, technological, cultural, public health and sports |  |                      | 50 | 
|Comprehensive utilization or other purposes                                |  |                      | 50 | 

Under the Urban Land Regulations, domestic and foreign enterprises are permitted to acquire land-use
rights unless the law provides otherwise. The State may not resume possession of lawfully granted land-use rights prior to expiration of the term of grant. If the public interest requires the resumption of possession by the State under special
circumstances during the term of grant, compensation must be paid by the State. Subject to compliance with the terms of the land grant contract, a holder of land-use rights may exercise substantially the same rights as a land owner during the grant
term, including holding, leasing, transferring, mortgaging and developing the land for sale or lease.

Upon paying in full the
land grant fee pursuant to the terms of the contract, the grantee may apply to the relevant land bureau for issuance of the land-use rights certificate. Upon expiration of the term of grant, renewal is possible subject to the execution of a new
contract for the grant of land-use rights and payment of a new land grant fee. If the term of the grant is not renewed, the land-use rights and ownership of any buildings on the land will revert to the State without compensation.

The Law of the Peoples Republic of China on Property Rights (


LOGO
), or the Property Law, adopted by the National Peoples Congress on March 16, 2007 and effective as of October 1, 2007, further clarified land-use rights in the PRC with the following rules:



| |  |  | land-use rights for residences will be automatically renewed upon expiry;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | car parking spaces and garages within residential buildings must be used to meet the needs of the owners who live in the building first;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | the construction of buildings must comply with relevant laws and regulations and must not affect the ventilation of or lighting to neighboring
buildings; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | where the state-owned land-use rights for construction use are transferred, exchanged, used as a capital contribution, donated to others or mortgaged,
an application for modification registration must be filed with the registration department.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to
the general framework for transactions relating to land-use rights set out in the Urban Land Regulations, local legislation provides for additional requirements, including those applicable to specific transactions within specific areas relating to
the grant and transfer of state-owned land-use rights. These local regulations are numerous and some of them are inconsistent with national legislation. Under PRC law, national laws and regulations prevail to the extent of such inconsistencies.

Methods of Land Grant

There are two methods by which state-owned land-use rights may be granted, namely by private agreement or competitive processes (i.e., public tender, auction or listing for sale at a land exchange
administered by the local government).

The Ministry of Land and Resources has required, since August 31, 2004, that the
grant of state-owned land-use rights must be made pursuant to public tenders, auctions or listings for sale on a land exchange and that no state-owned land-use rights for commercial uses could be granted by way of agreement. PRC laws and regulations
specifically provide that land to be used for commercial purposes must be granted by way of competitive processes. A number of measures are provided by PRC laws and regulations to ensure such grant of state-owned land-use rights for commercial
purposes is conducted openly and fairly. For instance, the local land bureau must take into account various social, economic and planning considerations when deciding on the use of a certain piece of land, and its decision regarding land-use
designation is subject to approval by the city or provincial government. In addition, the announcement of a public tender, auction or listing for sale at a land exchange must be made 20 days prior to the date of beginning such competitive processes.
Further, it is also stipulated that for listing at a land exchange, the time period for accepting bids must not be less than 10 days.

When state-owned land-use rights are granted by way of tender, a bid evaluation committee consisting of not less than five members (including a representative of the grantor and other experts) formed by
the land bureau is responsible for evaluating the bids and the tenderee is responsible for deciding on the successful bidder. The successful bidder will then sign the land grant contract with the land bureau and pay the balance of the land-grant fee
before obtaining the state-owned land-use rights certificate and before the land bureau will effectuate the registration of the successful bidder as the holder of state-owned land-use rights for the land. The land bureau will consider the following
factors: if the invitation to tender only requires a bid from the bidder, whoever offers the highest bid will be the successful bidder; or if the invitation to tender requires the bidder to submit planning proposals in addition to the bid, then
details of the proposals will be considered. If the relevant land bureau considers that none of the bids is satisfactory, the land bureau has the right to reject all the bids. Tenders for state-owned land-use rights can be by way of open tenders or
private tenders.

Where state-owned land-use rights are granted by way of auction, a public auction will be held by the
relevant local land bureau, and the land-use rights are granted to the highest bidder. The successful bidder will then be asked to sign the land grant contract with the local land bureau and pay the relevant land grant fee within a prescribed
period.

Where state-owned land-use rights are granted by way of listing at a land exchange administered by the local
government, a public notice will be issued by the local land bureau to specify the location, area and purpose of use of land, the initial bidding price, the period for receiving bids and the terms and conditions upon which the land-use rights are
proposed to be granted. The state-owned land-use rights are granted to the bidder with the highest bid who satisfies the terms and conditions. The successful bidder will enter into a land grant contract with the local land bureau and pay the
relevant land grant fee within a prescribed period.

##### Table of Contents

The state-owned land-use rights obtained by China Tieling Northeast have been granted by way
of listing at the Tieling Land Reserve Center on July 3, 2007 and February 25, 2008, respectively.

Upon signing the
land grant contract, the grantee is required to pay the land grant fee pursuant to the terms of the contract and the contract is then submitted to the relevant local bureau for the issue of the state-owned land-use rights certificate. Upon
expiration of the term of grant, the grantee may apply for its renewal. Upon approval by the relevant local land bureau, a new contract is entered into to renew the grant, and a land grant fee is paid.

Model Land Grant Contract

To standardize land grant contracts, in 2008, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce
published the model land grant contract, on the basis of which many local governments have formulated their respective local form land grant contract to suit their special local circumstances. The model land grant contract contains terms such as
location of land, use of land, land grant fee and its payment schedule, conditions of land upon delivery, term of grant, land-use conditions and restrictions (including GFA, plot ratio and height and density limitations), construction of public
facilities, submission of building plans for approval, deadline for commencement of construction, payment of idle fees, deadline for completion of construction, application for extension of the stipulated construction period, restrictions on
subsequent transfers, responsibility for obtaining supply of utilities, restrictions against alienation before payment of the land-grant fee and completion of prescribed development, application of renewal, force majeure, breach of contract and
dispute resolution.

China Tieling Northeast, as grantee, and the Tieling State-owned Land and Resource Bureau, as the PRC
land authority responsible for the grant of the state-owned land-use rights, have entered into various land grant contracts. The majority of the terms of China Tieling Northeasts land grant contracts are consistent with the model land grant
contract. However, certain terms have been added or amended to suit China Northeasts circumstances.

If the land user
fails to develop and invest in the land within the period of time specified in the land grant contract, the land bureau has the right to impose various penalties ranging from fines to withdrawal of the grant without consideration (unless the failure
is due to force majeure or the activities of a government authority).

Termination

A land-use right terminates upon the expiry of the term of grant specified in the land grant contract and the resumption by the State of
that right.

The State generally will not withdraw a state-owned land use right before the expiration of its term of grant and
if it does so for special reasons, such as in the public interest, it must offer proper compensation to the land user, having regard to the surrounding circumstances and the period for which the state-owned land use right has been enjoyed by the
user.

Upon expiry, the state-owned land use rights and ownership of the related buildings erected on the land and other
attachments may be acquired by the State without compensation. The land user will take steps to surrender the state-owned land use rights certificate and cancel the registration of the certificate in accordance with relevant regulations.

A land user may apply for renewal of the state-owned land use rights and, if the application is granted, the land user is required to
enter into a new land grant contract, pay a land grant fee and effect appropriate registration for the renewed grant.

##### Table of Contents

Documents of Title and Registration of Property Interests

A state-owned land use rights certificate is the evidentiary legal document to demonstrate that the registered land user has the lawful
right to use the land during the term stated therein. Upon the completion of construction of a building (including passing the acceptance tests by various government departments), a building ownership certificate will be issued to the owner of the
building. The holder of a state-owned land use right who is issued a building ownership certificate holds the state-owned land use rights and owns the building erected on the land. All holders of state-owned land use rights, and other rights in
respect of the land, such as the right to buildings erected on the land, must register all their lawful state-owned land use rights, as well as ownership rights to the buildings. In Tieling, the state-owned land use rights certificate and the
building ownership certificate are separate certificates.

Mortgage and Guarantee

Under PRC laws and regulations, when a mortgage is created on the ownership of a building on state-owned land legally obtained, a mortgage
shall be simultaneously created on the state-owned land use rights of the land on which the building is erected. Pursuant to PRC laws and regulations, buildings newly erected on a piece of urban land after a mortgage contract has been entered into
shall not constitute mortgaged property. If the mortgaged property is auctioned off, the new buildings added on the land may be auctioned together with the mortgaged property, but the mortgagee shall not be entitled to priority compensation from the
proceeds of the auction of the new buildings.

Within 30 days after a real estate mortgage contract has been signed, the
parties to the mortgage should register the mortgage with the real estate administration authority in the city where the real estate is situated. A real estate mortgage becomes effective on the date of registration of the mortgage. When carrying out
mortgaged property registration, the loan contract and the mortgage contract as well as the state-owned land use rights certificate or the building ownership certificate in respect of the mortgaged property must be submitted to the mortgagee.

Under PRC laws and regulations, guarantees may be in two forms: (1) general guarantees whereby the guarantor bears the
liability when the debtor fails to perform the payment obligation; and (2) guarantees with joint and several liability whereby the guarantor and debtor are jointly and severally liable for the payment obligation. A guarantee contract must be in
writing and, unless agreed otherwise, the term of a guarantee shall be six months after the expiration of the term for performance of the principal obligation.

Where indebtedness is secured by both a guarantee and by mortgaged property, the guarantors liability shall be limited to the extent of the indebtedness that is not secured by the mortgaged
property.

We have provided guarantees to a bank on 52 China Northeast Logistics CityTieling trade center units sold to
our customers effective during the entire term of the mortgages. These guarantees were released by the bank during the current year.

Property Development

Property development projects in the PRC are generally divided into single projects and large tract development projects. A single project refers to the construction of buildings on a plot of land and the
subsequent sale of units. Large tract development projects consist of the comprehensive development of large area and the construction of necessary infrastructure such as water, electricity, road and communications facilities. The developer may
either assign the state-owned land use rights of the developed area or construct buildings on the land itself and sell or lease the buildings erected on it.

##### Table of Contents

Foreign entities must establish foreign investment enterprises in the PRC as project
companies to develop property. The typical scope of business of such project companies includes development, construction, sales, leasing and property management of commodity properties and ancillary facilities on the specific land as approved by
the government. The term of the property development company is usually the same as the term of grant of the state-owned land use rights in question.

Establishment of a project company is subject to the approval by the relevant departments of the PRC Government in accordance with the following procedures. First, a project application report is
submitted to the central or local development and reform commission for verification and approval. If the development and reform commission considers the proposed property development project to be consistent with the prevailing national and local
economic plans and foreign investment regulations, it will grant an approval to the applicant in respect of the project.

Once
the project application report has been verified and approved, a joint feasibility study report is prepared that reflects the investors assessment of the overall economic viability of the proposed project company. The feasibility study report
and/or articles of association may then be submitted to the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterpart, as the case may be, for approval. If the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterpart finds the application documents to be in compliance
with PRC law and industrial policy, it will issue an approval certificate for the establishment of the project company. With this approval certificate, the investor can apply to the local administration for industry and commerce for a foreign
investment enterprise business license for the project company.

Regulations on Foreign Investment Real Estate Enterprises

Once a foreign entity developer has established a project company and secured the state-owned land use rights to a
piece of land for development, it has to apply for and obtain the requisite planning permits from the planning departments and have its design plan approved by, and apply for and obtain construction permits from, the relevant construction commission
for commencement of construction work on the land. When the construction work on the land is completed, the completed buildings and structures must be examined and approved by the government departments before they can be delivered to purchasers or
lessors for occupancy.

Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, we acknowledges that
China Tieling Northeast is treated as a foreign investment real estate enterprise engaged in integrated logistics projects and is subject to the requirements imposed on such enterprises.

PRC law requires that a foreign investment project be approved by government authorities at the appropriate level depending on the amount
of the investment by the foreign enterprise and the industries to which the project belongs under the foreign investment catalog. China Northeast has obtained approval from the Tieling Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economics Cooperation as a foreign
investment enterprise and have subsequently received approval on two occasions to increase the investment capital for US$35 million.

We expect to inject China Tieling Northeasts future proceeds for Phase II in stages, each of which will be subject to the approval by Tieling Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economics Cooperation and
the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

Circular No. 171

Issued in response to increasing foreign investment in the real estate industry in recent years, the Opinions on Regulating the Entry of Foreign Capital Into the Real Estate Market and the
Administration Thereof (


LOGO
), or Circular No. 171, issued by the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Peoples Bank of China, the State Administration for Industry and
Commerce and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, on July 11, 2006, may impact foreign investment in the PRC real estate industry in the following areas:



| |  |  | Circular No. 171 requires a foreign invested real estate enterprise, or FIREE, with total investments equating to or exceeding US$10 million to
have a registered capital consisting of no less than 50% of its total amount of investment. FIREEs with total investments below US$10 million must have a registered capital in amounts pursuant to and consistent with existing regulations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Upon payment of the state-owned land use rights grant fees, the FIREE can apply to the land administration authority for a state-owned land use rights
certificate. Upon obtaining the state-owned land use rights certificate, an FIREE may then obtain a recertification of its existing foreign investment enterprise approval certificate, or FIEAC, and the business license, with the same validity period
as that of such FIEAC; following which, the FIREE may apply to the tax administration for tax registration purposes.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | When a foreign investor merges with a domestic real estate enterprise, or acquires an FIREEs equity or project, the investor is required to
submit a guarantee which ensures the compliance with the provisions of the state-owned land use rights grant contract, construction site planning permit and construction work planning permit, and the state-owned land use rights certificate, and the
modification certification issued by the construction authorities, and the tax payments certification issued by the relevant tax authorities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Foreign investors which merge with domestic real estate development enterprises by share transfer or other methods, or which acquire the equity of a
PRC party in joint venture enterprises, must allocate their employees appropriately, deal with bank debts and settle the lump sum payment of the transfer price through self-owned funds. However, a foreign investor with an unfavorable record should
not be allowed to conduct any of these activities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | FIREEs which have not paid up their registered capital fully, or failed to obtain a state-owned land use rights certificate, or with under 35% of the
total capital required for the project, may not be allowed to obtain a loan in or outside China, and foreign exchange administration departments shall not approve any settlement of foreign loans by such enterprises. Although the Ministry of Commerce
has not issued any further opinions on the regulation of entry of foreign capital into the real estate market, however, based on the Capital Ratios Notice, issued by the State Council on May 25, 2009, this capital requirement may be reduced to
30% in the future.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Any Sino or foreign investors in an FIREE shall not guarantee fixed profit returns or provide other arrangements to the same effect for any party in
any form.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since our PRC subsidiary China Tieling Northeast is considered a foreign investment real estate
developer, we may not inject capital into China Tieling Northeast in the form of shareholders loans. Further, China Tieling Northeast is subject to a registered capital ratio requiring China Tieling Northeast to maintain registered capital
levels at 50% or more of China Tieling Northeasts registered total investment.

The Tieling Urban Construction Comprehensive Development Office has granted a short term
(one year) qualification certificate to China Tieling Northeast in order to allow China Tieling Northeast to undertake the development of property necessary for its integrated logistics operations. On August 6, 2009, China Tieling Northeast
obtained from the Liaoning Housing and Urban Rural Construction Bureau an annual renewal of the qualification certificate.

The Dezhou Housing and Urban Rural Construction Bureau has granted a temporary qualification certificate to Dezhou Northeast City
Property Co., Ltd. to allow Dezhou Northeast City Property Co., Ltd to undertake the development of properties in the PRC. The temporary qualification certificate will expire on June 30, 2012.

Each of China Tieling Northeast and Dezhou Northeast City Property Co., Ltd. have the requisite qualification certificates for engaging
in their property development activities. China Tieling Northeast and Dezhou Northeast City Property Co., Ltd. will apply to obtain the requisite qualification certificates for their properties planned for future development in Tieling City and
Dezhou City as required to conduct their operations.

Property Leasing

Both the Urban Land Regulations and the Property Law permit leasing of granted state-owned land use rights and the buildings or homes
constructed on the land. Leasing of properties situated in urban areas is governed by the Measures for Administration of the Lease of Urban Premises (


LOGO
), or the Leasing Measures, issued by the Ministry of Construction on May 9, 1995. The Leasing Measures came into effect on June 1, 1995 in accordance with the Property Law in order to strengthen the
administration of the leasing of urban buildings. The Leasing Measures permit property owners to lease their properties to others for residential or commercial property uses except as otherwise prohibited by relevant law. The landlords and tenants
who are the parties to a property lease transaction are required to enter into a written lease agreement specifying all of the terms of the lease arrangement as required by statute. Leasing of buildings and the underlying state-owned land use rights
must not exceed a maximum term of 20 years. The lease agreement becomes effective upon signing; however, it must be registered with the relevant real property administration authority at the municipality or county level within 30 days after its
execution for the purpose of protecting the tenants interest against claims from third parties. A tenant may, upon obtaining consent from the landlord, assign or sublease the premises to sub-tenants. Local governments may impose rent controls.

Under PRC laws and regulations, an enterprise legal person has the right to possess, use, benefit from and dispose of its
immovable property and movable property in accordance with laws, administrative regulations and its articles of association. Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, we believe that our commission lease
arrangements are in compliance with and protected by the Property Law.

Since July 2009, China Tieling Northeast has been
entering into unit lease contracts with third parties. Agreements with third party tenants are contracts granting the tenants the right to use the units for a set period of time. Due to the fact that the Property Law and other relevant PRC laws and
regulations do not specifically define this right in relation to housing, these agreements are treated as lease agreements.

Under the Contract Law of the Peoples Republic of China (


LOGO
), or the PRC Contract Law, issued by the National Peoples Congress on March 15, 1999, a lease agreement is an agreement by which a lessor agrees to deliver a thing to a lessee for the lessee to use or collect
fruits from, and for which the lessee agrees to pay rent to the lessor. Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, our agreements with our tenants (a) comply with relevant PRC laws and regulations, and
(b) are legally binding on all parties to such agreements.

##### Table of Contents

We began entering into lease agreements for certain units prior to obtaining building
ownership certificates. Based on relevant PRC laws and regulations, obtaining building ownership certificates is not a prerequisite to enter into lease agreements. In addition, pursuant to the Tieling Measures for Administration of the Lease of
Urban Premises (


LOGO
), within 30 days after the execution of a lease agreement or delivery of a unit, China Tieling Northeast and the tenant of such unit are required to register the lease agreement with the local authority, Tieling Real
Estate Administration Bureau. We are in the process of making such registrations. Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, this should not affect the effectiveness or validity of our existing lease agreements
with tenants.

In addition, as a property developer, we are subject to a number of measures and regulations recently
introduced by the PRC government to tighten control of the real property market. The measures include:



| |  |  | tightening lending of bank loans to property developers and purchasers of developed properties and increasing the reserve requirements for commercial
banks;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restricting the ability of foreign invested real estate companies to raise funds offshore for the purpose of funding such companies either through
capital increase or by way of shareholder loans;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restricting the conversion and sale of foreign exchange on the capital account for foreign invested real estate companies that have not undergone an
examination by the local examination and approval authority;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | imposing strict requirements before commencement of a real estate project can begin, including the requirement that proposed projects with a total
investment value of at least RMB50 million establish administration files and receive relevant approval or permits prior to the commencement of construction;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibiting the extension of loans to real estate developers that do not satisfy certain loan conditions, such as those with a percentage of project
capital of less than 35% and those that are not in possession of necessary certificates and permits;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring the payment of an idle land charge for land that is idle for one year and recovery of such land by the State without consideration if the
land is idle for two years;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring property developers to pay all land grant fees prior to issuing land-use rights certificates; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring all industrial and commercial land to be granted through an invitation of bids or auction.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Property Sales

Presale of
Real Estate

Under PRC laws and regulations, real estate developers wishing to engage in the presale of real estate in the
PRC must first obtain the following permits:



| |  |  | Certificate of Real Estate Exploitation and Business License of the Developer;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | State-owned Land Use Rights Certificate;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Construction Work Planning Permit;

##### Table of Contents

Under the Measures for the Administration of the Sale of Commodity Premises (


LOGO
), and the Urban Commodity Premises Pre-Sale Measures (


LOGO
) issued by the Ministry of Construction on April 4, 2001 and July 20, 2004, respectively, the sale of commodity premises, which include residential properties, commercial properties (such as China Tieling
Northeasts trade center units) and other buildings that are developed by property developers can include both pre-completion and post-completion sales.

Pre-completion Sales

A developer intending to sell a commodity property
before the completion of construction must attend to the necessary pre-completion sale registration with the real estate administration authority of the relevant city or county to obtain a Permit for Pre-completion Sale of Commodity Properties.

Commodity properties may only be sold before completion provided that:



| |  |  | the grant premium has been paid in full for the grant of the state-owned land use rights involved and a state-owned land use rights certificate has
been obtained;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Construction Work Planning Permit and a Work Commencement Permit have been obtained;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the funds invested in the development of the commodity properties put up for pre-completion sale represent 25% or more of the total investment in the
project and the progress of works and the completion and delivery dates have been ascertained; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the pre-completion sale has been registered and a Commodity Premises Pre-sale Permit has been obtained.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post-completion Sales

In accordance with the Measures for the Administration of the Sale of Commodity Premises (


LOGO
), or Commodity Premises Sale Measures, issued by the Ministry of Construction on April 4, 2001, commodity properties may be put up for post-completion sale only when the following preconditions for such sale have
been satisfied:



| |  |  | the real estate developer offering to sell the post-completion properties has a valid business license and a qualification classification certificate;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the real estate developer has obtained a state-owned land use rights certificate or other approval documents of land use;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the real estate developer has the relevant Construction Work Planning Permit and the Work Commencement Permit;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the commodity property has been completed, inspected and accepted as qualified;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the original residents have been resettled;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the supplementary and essential facilities for supplying water, electricity, heating, gas, communication and other essentials have been made ready for
use, and other supplementary facilities and public facilities have been made ready for use, or the schedule of construction and delivery date of have been specified; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the property management plan has been completed.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------

Prior to a post-completion sale of a commodity property, a real estate developer is also required to submit a Real Estate Development Project Manual and other documents showing that the preconditions for
a post-completion sale have been fulfilled to the relevant real estate development authority.

Restrictions on the Sale of Commodity Properties

We (through our PRC subsidiaries China Tieling Northeast and Dezhou Northeast City Property Co., Ltd.) are treated by local authorities as
a real estate developer focused on integrated logistics in Tieling, and, as such, is subject to certain PRC laws, regulations and policies otherwise applicable to property development enterprises, including the Commodity Premises Sale Measures.

Under the Commodity Premises Sale Measures, a real estate developer may not sell a commodity property, by means of either
pre-completion or post-completion sales, through the use of cost-returned sales. In addition, a real estate developer may not sell a commodity property by means of pre-completion sales through the use of any form of after-sale lease guarantee.
According to the Commodity Premises Sale Measures, a cost-returned sale refers to a situation in which a real estate enterprise sells a commercial property by means of periodically returning the price of the property to the purchaser.
According to the Commodity Premises Sale Measures, an after-sales lease guarantee refers to a situation in which a real estate enterprise sells a commercial property by pledging to act as lessee or as lease agent of the property within a
certain period after sale.

Based on the opinion of our PRC Counsel, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, our commission
lease arrangements constitute neither cost-returned sales (or any form thereof) nor after-sale lease guarantees (or any form thereof).

Under the terms of a commission lease agreement with the purchaser of a trade center unit, we maintain the right to lease and receive rental income from the trade center unit for periods of up to three
years as a means of further developing the trade center market.

Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, Commerce &
Finance Law Offices, we believe that our commission lease agreement should not be considered a cost-returned sale (or any form thereof) and is in compliance with the Commodity Premises Sale Measures and other relevant laws and
regulations because (1) the commission lease agreement is entered into separately from the purchase agreement for the property; and (2) neither the purchase agreement nor the commission lease agreement contains a provision relating to the
periodic return of the price of the property to the purchaser. Based on the above factors, as well as the fact that we do not account for the lease payments under the commission lease agreements as income, Commerce & Finance Law Offices is
of the opinion that the commission lease arrangement should not be viewed as a cost-return sale (or any form thereof).

Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, we believe that our commission lease agreement should not be considered an after-sales lease guarantee (or any
form thereof) and is in compliance with the Commodity Premises Sale Measures and other relevant laws and regulations because (1) we do not pay any consideration to the purchaser of a trade center unit in exchange for the right to use and derive
profits from the trade center unit, and (2) we did not transfer any rental income to the purchaser of a trade center unit. In this regard, we neither pledge to act as lessee nor as lease agent of the property under the commission lease
agreement.

Based on the advice of our PRC Counsel, Commerce & Finance Law Offices, we believe that the commission
lease arrangements do not violate the Commodity Premises Sale Measures or other relevant PRC laws and regulations.

In
accordance with the Notice on Enhancing the Supervision of Real Estate Market and Improving the Pre-Completion Sales System of Commodity Property (


LOGO
) issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC (MOHURD) on April 13, 2010, a developer is required to abide by the following regulations:



51

##### Table of Contents

For any commodity property project without a Pre-sale Permit, a developer shall not engage
in any form of pre-completion sales (including subscription, reservation, sequence, VIP card, etc.) or receive any retainer fees /security deposits or participate in any promotion affairs. For any commodity property project with a Pre-sale Permit, a
developer must disclose a complete list of all available premises with the price of each premise within 10 days since the issuance date of the Pre-Sale Permit and strictly follow the disclosed price for selling such premises.

A developer shall not sell any self-reserved premises before the primary registration of property title or participate in fraudulent
transactions. If a developer will engage any real estate agent for selling commodity properties, such agent shall be chosen only from those registered with the relative authorities.

A developer will be subject to severe penalty if not selling within the time limit or not selling all available premises after the
issuance of the Pre-Sale Permit and if intentionally reducing the supply of such premises by overpricing or signing false purchase/sale contracts.

The pre-sale revenue must be put into an escrow account supervised by the relative authorities and be used for the purpose of project construction only.

Commodity properties shall be purchased under the true-name policy. The buyers name shall not be changed without course after the
closing of purchase.

A developer shall be primarily responsible for the quality of its commodity properties. The Plan of
Pre-completion Sales submitted by a developer with temporary qualification shall set forth the guarantee party for property quality under the circumstances of the developers bankruptcy or dissolution. Such guarantee party who will issue a
guarantee letter accordingly shall be an independent body corporate and be capable of affording relative indemnities.

Regulations on
Real Estate Financing

The PRC Government has introduced a number of measures and regulations to restrict the ability
of property developers to raise capital through external financing and other methods since 2003. For example, commercial banks may not grant loans to property developers for the purposes of paying for land grant fees. In addition, a developer
applying for real estate development loans shall have at least 35% of capital funds required for the development. Further, commercial banks are not allowed to advance their loan facilities to developers who do not have the required 35% or more of
the total capital for the construction projects. Banks shall not accept mortgages of commodity properties remaining unsold for more than three years.

On April 17, 2010, the State Council of PRC issued the Notice on Controlling the Skyrocketing Price of Properties in Some Cities (


LOGO
) which sets forth some new regulations on real estate financing as follows:

For any family
(including the borrower and the borrowers spouse and minor children) purchasing its first residential premises of 90 square meters or above, the downpayment ratio shall be not less than 30%. For any family purchasing its second residential
premises, the downpayment ratio shall be not less than 50% and the interest rate shall be not less than 110% of the standard interest rate. For any family purchasing its third or above residential premises, the downpayment ratio and interest rate
will be substantially raised up. On June 4, 2010, MOHURD, the Peoples Bank of China and China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) promulgated the Notice on Regulating the Criterion of the Second Residential Premises for
Commercial Home Loans (


LOGO
). The number of premises for commercial home loans shall be judged by the actual number of premises under the names of the borrowers family members (including the borrower, the borrowers spouse and minor
children).

##### Table of Contents

For certain areas with skyrocketing property prices and shortage of supply, the banks may
temporarily stop making loans to the third or above residential premises. For non-resident without 1 year or above tax or social insurance record, no mortgage loans shall be made by the banks. If necessary, the local governments may temporarily put
limits on the number of properties purchased within a certain time period. For the purchase of properties by foreign institutions or foreign individuals, the relative policies (Circular No. 171) shall be followed strictly.

The land for welfare houses, rebuilding of shanty areas and ordinary residential premises shall be no less than 70% of the total supply
of residential lands and supplied with top priority. A developer who has violated relative laws and regulations will be restricted on purchasing any new land. The shareholders of a developer shall not provide loans, entrusted loans, guarantee or
other financing against applicable regulations to the developer during the biding and construction process. For any developer participating in land speculation or with idle land, the banks shall not make new development loans and China Securities
Regulatory Commission (CSRC) shall temporarily reject its application for listing, rights issue and material assets restructuring.

Regulations on Development of a Real Estate Project

Under the Urban Real Estate Law, those who have obtained state-owned land use rights through grant must develop the land in accordance with the terms of use and within the period of commencement
prescribed in the contract for the state-owned land use rights grant.

If construction work has not been commenced within one
year upon the commencement date as set forth in the state-owned land use rights agreement, a surcharge on idle land equivalent to less than 20% of the land grant fees may be levied. If the construction work has not been commenced within two years,
the land can be confiscated without any compensation, unless the delay is caused by force majeure, or the acts of government or acts of other relevant departments under the government, or by indispensable preliminary work.

Planning of a Real Estate Project

After signing a state-owned land use rights grant contract, a developer shall apply for an Opinion on Construction Projects Site Selection and a Construction Site Planning Permit with the city
planning authority. After obtaining a Construction Site Planning Permit, a developer may commence planning and design work in accordance with the Construction Site Planning Permit requirements and proceed to apply for a Construction Work Planning
Permit with the city planning authority.

Relocation

Upon obtaining approvals for a construction project, a construction site planning permit, a state-owned land use rights certificate, a relocation plan and a verification of deposit to compensate parties
that are affected by the relocation payable by the developer by a bank, a developer may apply to the local real estate administration authorities where the real estate is located for a permit for housing demolition and removal.

Upon granting a demolition and removal permit, the real estate administration department must issue a demolition and removal notice to
the inhabitants of the area.

Construction of a Real Estate Project

After obtaining the Construction Work Planning Permit, a developer shall apply for a Work Commencement Permit from the relevant
construction authority.

Completion of a Real Estate Project

A real estate project must comply with the relevant laws and other regulations, requirements on construction quality, safety standards and
technical guidance on survey, design and construction work, as well as provisions of the relevant construction contract. After the completion of works for a project, the developer shall apply for an acceptance examination to the construction
authority and shall also report details of the acceptance examination to the construction authority. A real estate development project may only be delivered after passing the acceptance examination.

Regulations on Environmental Protection in Construction Projects

Under the Regulations for Administration of Environmental Protection in Construction Projects (


LOGO
), or Environmental Regulations, issued by the State Council on November 29, 1998 and effective as of the same date, each construction project is subject to an environmental impact assessment by the relevant
authorities.

According to the Environmental Regulations, a developer is required to submit an environmental impact report, an
environmental impact report form, or an environmental impact registration form (as the case may be) to the relevant environmental protection administration for approval during the projects feasibility analysis stage. In the meantime, if any
ancillary environmental protection facilities are necessary in the construction project, such facilities are required to be designed, constructed and used in conjunction with the main project. After completion of the project, the developers are
required to apply to the relevant environmental protection administrations for final acceptance examination in respect of any ancillary environmental protection facilities. Construction projects are approved for use after passing such acceptance
examination.

The Law of the Peoples Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessments (


LOGO
), adopted by the National Peoples Congress on October 28, 2002 and became effective as of September 1, 2003, provides that if the environmental impact assessment documents of a construction project have
not been examined by the relevant environmental protection administrations or are not approved after examination, the authority in charge of examination and approval of the project shall not approve construction of the project, and the construction
work unit may not commence work.

A notice issued by the State Environmental Protection Administration on July 6, 2006
provides for stringent examination and approval procedures for various real estate development projects. It also stipulates that no approvals may be issued for new residential projects or extensions in industry development zones, areas impacted by
industrial enterprises or areas where such development poses potential harm to residents health.

Property Management

A property management enterprise shall apply for assessment of qualifications by the qualification approval authority.
An enterprise which passes such a qualification assessment will be issued a qualification certificate evidencing the qualification classification by the authority. No enterprise may engage in property management without undertaking a qualification
assessment and obtaining a qualification certificate. One of our subsidiaries, Tieling North Asia Property Management Co., Ltd., has obtained a property management qualification certificate under the classification grade III, which was issued by
Tieling House Bureau on August 25, 2008.

Insurance

There are no mandatory requirements under PRC laws and regulations for a property developer to obtain insurance policies for its property developments. Under standard industry practice in the real estate
industry in Liaoning Province, construction companies are generally required to submit insurance proposals in the course of tendering and bidding for construction projects. Construction companies are required to pay for the insurance premium at
their own costs and obtain insurance to cover their liabilities, such as a third-partys liability risk, an employers liability risk, risk of nonperformance of contract in the course of construction and risks associated with the
construction and installation works during the construction period. The requirement for construction companies to obtain insurance coverage for all of these risks ceases immediately after the completion and acceptance upon inspection of
construction.

Regulation of Foreign Currency Exchange and Dividend Distribution

Foreign Currency Exchange

The principal regulation governing foreign currency exchange in the PRC is the Regulations of the Peoples Republic of China for
the Control of Foreign Exchange (


LOGO
), or the Foreign Exchange Regulations, amended by the State Council on August 1, 2008 and effective on August 5, 2008. Under these regulations, Renminbi are freely convertible for payments of current account
items, such as trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions and dividend payments, but not for expenses of capital, such as direct investment, loans or investments in securities outside the PRC unless the prior approval of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange is obtained.

Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, foreign investment enterprises in the
PRC may purchase foreign exchange for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions without approval by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange by providing commercial documents evidencing these transactions. They may also remit
foreign exchange (subject to a cap approved by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends.

Dividend Distribution and Remittance

Under PRC laws and regulations,
wholly foreign-owned enterprises in China may only pay dividends out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in China may be
required to set aside at least 10.0% of its after-tax profits based on its articles of association each year, if any, to PRC surplus reserve until the accumulated reserve amounts to 50.0% of its registered capital. It is also required to set aside
funds for the employee bonus and welfare fund from its after-tax profits each year at percentages determined at its sole discretion. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If the registered capital of a foreign investment enterprise
has not been fully paid in accordance with the articles of association, dividends in foreign currency may not be remitted out of the PRC.

##### Table of Contents

Shareholder Loan

Shareholder loans made to foreign investment enterprises are regarded as foreign debt in China, and are therefore subject to a number of PRC laws and regulations. Under these regulations, our PRC
subsidiaries can legally borrow foreign exchange loans up to their borrowing limits, which is the difference between their respective amounts of total investment and registered capital as approved by the Ministry of Commerce
or its local counterparts. Total investment is the projected amount of funds necessary for a foreign investment enterprise to attain the production or operational capacity set out in its joint venture contract and/or articles of
association, whereas registered capital refers to the equity or capital contributions to be paid in full by the foreign investors. According to the Temporary Regulations on Foreign Debt Statistics and Monitor issued by the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange effective on August 27, 1987, and the Implementing Rules on Foreign Debt Statistics and Monitor issued by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange effective on January 1, 1998, such loans must be
registered and recorded with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its local branch. Interest payments on such loans, if any, are subject to a 10% withholding tax unless otherwise exempted pursuant to applicable tax treaties or tax
arrangements between the PRC Government and the government of other jurisdictions.

If the foreign exchange debts of a foreign
investment enterprise exceed an enterprises statutory borrowing limits, the foreign investor is required to increase its total investment amount and registered capital as necessary to comply with these limits.

Taxation

Enterprise Income Tax

The Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a uniform tax rate of 25% (compared to a previous top rate of 33%) for all
enterprises incorporated or resident in China, including foreign investment enterprises, and eliminates many tax exemptions, reductions and preferential treatments formerly applicable to foreign investment enterprises.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law that has been effective since January 1, 2008, enterprises established under the laws of foreign
countries or regions whose de facto management bodies are located within the PRC territory are considered as resident enterprises and thus will normally be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on global income.
In particular, non-resident enterprises with an institution or establishment in China must pay enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on taxable income derived by such institution or establishment within China as well as on taxable income earned
outside China which has a de facto connection with such institution or establishment. Non-resident enterprises without any institution or establishment within China, or non-resident enterprises whose income has no connection to its
institution or establishment inside China must pay a withholding income tax at the rate of 10% on taxable income derived from inside China, unless otherwise exempted pursuant to applicable tax treaties or tax arrangements between the PRC Government
and the government of other jurisdictions. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, dividends, bonuses and other equity investment proceeds received by an enterprise are exempted from Enterprise Income Tax if distributed between qualified resident
enterprises or if obtained by a nonresident enterprise with institutions or establishments in China from a resident enterprise and having a de facto connection with such institutions or establishments. However, even if we are unable to
satisfy the requirements for this exemption from withholding tax on the dividends we receive from our subsidiaries in China, we are entitled to a reduced withholding tax of 5% on dividend payments due to a tax treaty between China and Hong Kong,
which became effective on December 8, 2006. The tax treaty provides that a company incorporated in Hong Kong may be subject to a withholding tax of 5% on dividends it receives from its PRC subsidiaries if it holds a 25% or more interest in the
PRC company, or at the rate of 10% if it holds less than a 25% interest in the PRC company.

##### Table of Contents

The regulations implementing the Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the Implementation
Regulations, define the term de facto management body as the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting and properties of a
non-PRC company is located. The determination of tax residency in a particular situation requires a review of the surrounding facts and circumstances and the mechanism provided in the Implementation Regulations gives the relevant taxation
authority discretion in applying its judgment.

Business Tax

Under the Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Business Tax issued by the State Council which took effect on January 1, 2009 and the
related implementation rules, a business tax is levied on all units and individuals engaged in taxable services, the transfer of intangible assets or the sale of immovable properties within the territory of the PRC. The tax rates range from 3% to
20% depending on the type of services provided. Most of our PRC subsidiaries which engage in services pay business tax at tax rates of 5%.

Land Appreciation Tax

Under PRC laws and regulations, our PRC subsidiaries that engage in integrated logistics and trade center development activities are subject to land appreciation tax for properties sold. Land appreciation
tax is levied on China Northeast by local tax authorities in accordance with the Interim Regulations on Land Appreciation Tax (


LOGO
), issued by the State Council on December 13, 1993, which provides that all enterprises and individuals, domestic and foreign, who receive income as a result of a grant of state-owned land use rights are subject to
payment of land appreciation tax. Land appreciation tax is levied upon the appreciation value of property upon sale or transfer, as defined in the relevant tax laws. All taxable gains from the sale or transfer of land use rights,
buildings and related facilities in China are subject to land appreciation tax at progressive rates that range from 30% to 60%. On December 28, 2006, the State Administration of Taxation issued the LAT Notice, which came into effect on
February 1, 2007. The LAT Notice sets forth, among other things, methods of calculating land appreciation tax and the time frame for settlement of land appreciation tax.

On May 19, 2010, the State Administration of Taxation issued a supplementary LAT Notice (


LOGO
) which clarifies the details of income confirmation and deduction items.

Value-Added Tax

Under PRC regulations which took effect on January 1, 2009, all units and individuals engaged in the sales of
goods, provision of processing, repairs and replacement services, and the importation of goods within the territory of the PRC are taxpayers of value-added tax, and shall pay value-added tax at tax rates of between 3% and 17%, depending on the
activities in which they engage. Tieling North Asia Development Co., Ltd. and Tieling Motor Vehicle Trading Co., Ltd., are also required to pay value-added tax under local regulations.

Dividends from Our China Operations

Under PRC tax laws, regulations and rulings applicable to years prior to 2008, dividends from our operations in China paid to us were
exempt from any PRC withholding or income tax. The Enterprise Income Tax Law as currently in effect provides that a withholding tax rate of 10% will normally be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are derived from sources
within the PRC, but with a possibility of exemption or reduction. The Implementation Regulations reduce the withholding tax rate for non-PRC residents to 10%. As a result, effective from January 1, 2008, dividends paid by foreign investment
enterprises to non-PRC resident shareholders are subject to withholding tax at an ordinary rate of 10%, unless otherwise exempted or reduced by PRC laws and regulations or in accordance with arrangements or treaties between the PRC Government and
the government of any other jurisdiction where such non-PRC resident shareholder is registered. Currently we are entitled to a reduced withholding tax of 5% on divided payments due to a tax treaty between China and Hong Kong, which became effective
on April 1, 2007.

Dividends paid by the Company to our Overseas Investors

Prior to January 1, 2008, the distribution of dividends by a company to its overseas investors was not subject to PRC tax. However,
if we are deemed as a resident enterprise under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which has been effective since January 1, 2008, the dividends we declare and pay after January 1, 2008 to our investors, including non-PRC investors, will be
subject to corporate income tax or income withholding tax unless otherwise exempted.

Transfer or Disposition of Our Shares

As we are not incorporated in the PRC, under the previous PRC law applicable prior to January 1, 2008, any
transfer or disposition of shares of the Company by a non-PRC investor does not trigger PRC tax liabilities. However, if we are deemed a resident enterprise under the new Enterprise Income Tax Law which took effect on January 1, 2008, any gain
on transfer or disposition of shares of the Company will be subject to corporate income tax, unless otherwise exempted or reduced by PRC laws and regulations or in accordance with arrangements or treaties between the PRC Government and the
government of any other jurisdiction where such non-PRC resident investor is registered.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations set by the PRC national, provincial and municipal governments with respect to
our logistics platform businesses, where our projects are normally required to undergo an environmental impact assessment by government-appointed third parties, and a report of such assessment needs to be submitted to the relevant environmental
authorities in order to obtain their approval before commencing construction. Upon completion of each project, the relevant environmental authorities inspect the site to ensure the applicable environmental standards have been complied with, and the
resulting report is presented together with other specified documents to the relevant construction administration authorities for their approval and recordation. Approval from the environmental authorities on such report is required before delivery
of the properties. In the past, we have not experienced any difficulties in obtaining such approvals for commencement of construction and delivery of completed projects. However, we cannot assure you that we will not experience any difficulties in
the future. Our operations have not been subject to payment of material fines or penalties for violations of environmental regulations.

Due to the relatively low impact of our operations on the environment, our environmental compliance costs have not been substantial. Our environmental compliance costs were approximately HK$34,000 and
HK$228,000 for fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively, which was solely attributable to the Discontinued Operations.

The Company was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Man Sang Holdings, Inc.
(MSHI), a United States domestic company incorporated in the State of Nevada whose common stocks were listed on the NYSE Amex with ticker symbol MHJ.On August 25, 2009, at a general meeting, for the purpose of
the redomicile of MSHI from the United States to the British Virgin Islands, the shareholders of MSHI resolved to carry out a group reorganization (the Reorganization) whereby, inter alia, MSHI was dissolved and liquidated and the
Company contractually assumed all rights, title, obligations and liabilities of MSHI pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the agreement and plan of the dissolution and liquidation of MSHI.As a result of the Reorganization,
the Company succeeded MSHI as the holding company its subsidiaries (the Group) on August 25, 2009 with its ordinary shares being listed on the NYSE Amex as a non-United States domestic company.From its inception in August
1995 through the effective date of the Reorganization on August 25, 2009, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSHI.

Upon the effective date of the Reorganization, the Company and its subsidiaries continued to conduct the business previously conducted by MSHI and its subsidiaries (including the Company). Although the
dissolution and liquidation of MSHI resulted in the cessation of MSHI as the holding company of the Group, the dissolution and liquidation had no material impact on our financial condition or operating results, other than the costs incurred in
connection with its dissolution and liquidation. As the Company contractually assumed all rights, title, obligations and liabilities of MSHI upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the agreement and plan of the dissolution and liquidation,
there was a continuation of the risks and benefits to the ultimate controlling owners that existed prior to the dissolution and liquidation of MSHI. Accordingly, the Reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common
control in a manner similar to pooling-of-interests. On this basis, the Company has been treated as the holding company of MSHI in all periods presented in the financial statements rather than from the effective date of the Reorganization.

Subsequent to the Reorganization, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger or the Merger Agreement, dated as of
February 19, 2010, by and among the Company, China Metro-Rural Limited and Creative Gains Limited (Creative Gains) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), Creative Gains was merged with and into China Metro (the
Merger). Immediately after the Merger, Creative Gains ceased and China Metro became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of equity interest of China Metro-Rural Limited has been accounted for as a combination of
entities under common control in a manner similar to pooling of interests as both the Company and China Metro-Rural Limited were controlled by Mr.Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky immediately prior to and immediately after the Merger. On this
basis, the consolidated financial statements of China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited for periods prior to the Merger have been restated to include, to the extent of the equity interest of China Metro-Rural Limited held by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing,
Ricky, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of China Metro-Rural Limited for those periods as if China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited had owned China Metro-Rural Limited at the beginning of the financial period reported in the
consolidated financial statements or when MSBVI and China Metro-Rural Limited came under common control by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, whichever is later, and all assets and liabilities of China Metro-Rural Limited have been stated at
historical carrying amounts. The acquisition by the Company of interest owned by all the shareholders of China Metro, including Mr. Cheng, was treated as an equity transaction at the completion date of the Merger.

On July 28, 2010, the Company declared a dividend to its shareholders by way of distribution in specie of the entire equity interest
in MSIL held by the Company, represented by 494 million ordinary shares, or the Distribution, and was completed in August 2010. Upon the completion of the Distribution, the Group no longer held any interests in MSIL and has discontinued its
pearls and real estate businesses, or the Discontinued Operations, which was previously operated through MSIL. Details of results of the Discontinued Operations is set forth above in Item 3. Key InformationA. Selected Financial
Data.

Unless otherwise specified, references to Notes to the audited consolidated financial
statements are to the Notes to our audited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Overview

At the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the
Group had one main business segment, our Agricultural Logistics Operation, which is presented as the continuing operation on the face of the consolidated income statement of the Group for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

One of our discontinued business segments was engaged in the purchase, processing, assembling, merchandising and wholesale
distribution of pearls and jewelry products, or the Pearl Operation. We were one of the worlds largest purchasers and processors of saltwater cultured and freshwater cultured pearls.

Our other discontinued business segment was engaged in real estate development and real estate leasing, or the Real Estate Operation. We
operated real estate for lease and sale in Hong Kong and the PRC, including (1) an industrial complex located in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, PRC, or the Man Sang Industrial City; (2) China Pearls and Jewellery City, a market center
with various supporting facilities, including manufacturing, processing, exhibition and residential facilities, among others, located in Shanxiahu, Zhuji, Zhejiang Province, PRC; and (3) commercial and residential properties in Hong Kong, or
the Hong Kong Properties.

The Pearl Operation and Real Estate Operation together comprise the Discontinued Operations.

Our Agricultural Logistics Operations are engaged in the development and operations of large scale, integrated agricultural
logistics and trade centers in Northeast China that facilitate a relationship between sellers and buyers of agricultural products and small goods, provide relevant physical platform and timely marketing information and intelligence, provide a
transparent and competitive market price discovery mechanism and provide infrastructure to enhance the living standards of those from the rural area.

Following the Distribution discussed above, it resulted in the discontinuation of the Pearl Operation and the Real Estate Operation, or, collectively, the Discontinued Operations, which were previously
carried out through MSIL. As a result of such discontinuation, the results of operations of the Discontinued Operations have been presented as a single line item on the face of the consolidated income statement of the Group. We are now entirely
focused on being one of the leading developers and operators of large scale, integrated agricultural logistics and trade centers in Northern China.

Critical Accounting Policies

Managements discussion and analysis of
results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the IASB. These principles
require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Periodically, we review all
significant estimates and assumptions affecting the consolidated financial statements and records the effect of any necessary adjustments.

We have identified certain accounting policies that involve subjective assumptions and estimates as well as complex judgments relating to certain accounting items. Set forth below are those accounting
policies that we believe involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue and Other Income

Revenue from sales of properties

Revenue from sales of properties is
recognized when the risks and rewards related to the properties are transferred to purchasers, which is when the construction of relevant properties has been completed, title to the properties has been delivered to the purchasers and collectability
of related receivables is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized only to the extent collectability of such receivable is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sales of properties with operating leaseback

As part of the Companys overall strategy to develop property projects with specific themes, in relation to sales of certain properties, immediately following sale of such properties, the Company
leases back the properties from purchasers for periods ranging from 3 to 5 years either for an insignificant amount of rental payments or free of charge. As lease back of the properties for an insignificant amount of rental payments or free of
charge was arranged as part of the sale of these properties, the Company determined the fair value of lease payments it would ordinarily make to lease such properties from other independent owners based on factors such as expected occupancy rates,
rental yields etc. and included it as part of the sales consideration received with a corresponding debit to prepaid operating lease payments. Since the fair value of lease payments the Company would ordinarily make to lease such properties was
estimated to be insignificant, the Company did not separately recognize it as part of the sales consideration received with a corresponding debit to prepaid operating lease payments. Such transactions are accounted for as a sale and operating
leaseback given that as part of the sale transaction, the Company disposes of substantially all risks and rewards of owning the property. In concluding that substantially all risks and rewards of owning the property have been transferred, the
Company considers the short period of the lease and the expected future rentals it could earn by letting out these properties, which are insignificant relative to the value of the property.

The leaseback is considered as an operating lease due to (i) the ownership of the property will not transfer back to the Company by
the end of the lease term; (ii) the Company does not have the option to purchase the property at the end of the lease term; (iii) the lease term is not the major part of the economic life of the property; (iv) at the inception of the
lease, the fair value of the property is significantly higher than the present value of the minimum lease payments; and (v) any gains or losses from the fluctuation in the fair value of the property rest to purchasers. In addition, operating
leases rentals paid to purchasers are recorded as an expense on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

To
promote sales of certain properties, the Company, through its Discontinued Operations, conducted a promotional sale of these properties during fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 prior to the Distribution wherein it
sold such properties at special rates to selected purchasers which was different from the normal sales of properties as discussed above where no special rates were given. Sales consideration for these properties included an explicitly agreed
transaction price to be settled in cash plus a lease back of these properties to the Company free of charge for 5 years. As lease back of the properties free of charge was arranged as part of the sale of these properties as well as the sales of
these properties were at special rates, the Company determined the fair value of lease payments it would ordinarily make to lease such properties from other independent owners based on factors such as expected occupancy rates, rental yields etc. and
included it as part of the sales consideration received with a corresponding debit to prepaid operating lease payments. The leaseback is considered as an operating lease for the same reasons as explained above. The prepaid operating lease payments
will be amortized and recognized as operating leases expense on a straight line basis over the 5 year period of the lease.

Promotional sale of certain properties

As discussed under Revenue from sales of properties with operating leaseback, the Company, through the Discontinued
Operations, conducted a promotional sale of certain properties during the year. Sales consideration for these properties included an explicitly agreed transaction price to be settled in cash plus a lease back of these properties to the Company free
of charge. Of the explicitly agreed transaction price, the Company received a down-payment of 24% in cash amounting to HK$18,459,000 and HK$4,147,000 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and year ended March 31, 2011 prior to the
Distribution, respectively, upon transfer of title to the properties with the remainder HK$71,167,000 and HK$13,131,000, respectively, being receivable in future. As all the revenue recognition criteria had been met, the Company recorded this as a
revenue transaction. Having considered a number of factors such as the overall state of the property market, the prospects of the properties and profile of individual buyers, management determined that the collectability of the receivable was not
reasonably assured at the date of sale. Accordingly, revenue was recorded only to the extent of cash received.

Revenue from sales of goods

Sale of goods is recognized on transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when
the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed.

Revenue from leasing of investment properties

Rental income under operating leases is recognized in the period in which the properties are let out and on a straight-line basis over the
term of the relevant lease, including the rent free periods.

Revenue from property management service

Revenue from property management service is recognized when services are rendered.

Others

Interest income
from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial asset to that assets net carrying amount.

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the rights to
receive payments have been established.

Land Appreciation Tax

Land appreciation tax provisions represent provisions for the estimated land appreciation tax payable in relation to our properties sold
during a period. We make provisions based on our own calculations in accordance with our understanding of the relevant laws and regulations. Our estimate of land appreciation tax provisions requires us to use significant judgment with respect to the
appreciation of land value and the allowability of deductible items for income tax purposes. Disagreements with the taxing authorities could subject us to additional taxes, and possibly, penalties.

Valuation of Properties

We state our investment properties, investment properties under construction and leasehold land and buildings at their fair value as non-current assets on our consolidated statements of financial position
on the basis of valuations supported by a qualified independent professional valuer. We provide the independent professional valuer with various information for the valuer to use as a basis for valuation.

We state our properties held for sale classified as current assets on our consolidated statements of financial position, at the lower of
cost and net realizable value on an individual property basis. Cost includes all development expenses, applicable borrowing costs and other direct costs attributable to the development of such properties. Net realizable value is determined by
reference to the prevailing market prices on an individual property basis.

##### Table of Contents

We state our property, plant and equipment as non-current assets on our consolidated
statements of financial position. We state our property, plant and equipment at cost less impairment losses, with the exception of leasehold land and buildings, which are not depreciated. Cost includes the direct costs, direct costs of construction
and capitalized borrowing costs on related borrowings during the period of construction. Properties under development are transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment or properties held for sale when completed and ready
for use.

Impairment of trade receivables

The management determines the provision for impairment of trade receivables on a regular basis. This estimate is based on the credit history of its customers and prevailing market conditions. Management
reassesses the provision for impairment of trade receivables at the statements of financial position date. In respect of the trade receivables past due over 60 days but not impaired, majority of which are related to sales of properties in mainland
China, they are due to the reason that longer time is normally required for customers to apply for mortgages in the location at which the Companys subsidiaries are operated. As most of these mortgages were approved by banks and balances
settled subsequent to the date of statement of financial position and additional resources have been invested to monitor the progress of mortgage application, management considered that these receivables are fully recoverable.

Recoverability of completed properties held for sale and properties under development

We perform a regular review on the carrying amounts of completed properties held for sale and properties under development as these
property projects are in their early stages and we have invested significant amount of capital in them. Furthermore, all our current property projects are located in China as discussed under Business Overview where the PRC government can
exercise significant control over Chinas economic growth through allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or
companies. Accordingly, policies and other measures taken by the PRC government to regulate the economy could have a significant negative impact on economic conditions in China, with a resulting negative impact on our business which is further
discussed under Risk Relating to Doing Business in the PRC.

More recently, the Chinas real GDP has
continued to grow even though at a slower rate resulting from a recent global economic downturn which also slowdown the economy in PRC. Accordingly, the PRC government has introduced certain stimulus package aimed at offsetting the slow down brought
by the financial crisis. In addition, the PRC government has introduced certain macroeconomic measures to control perceived overinvestment in the real property market. Considering the overall state of the PRCs economy, specifically the real
estate market which could potentially have a negative effect on the recoverability our property projects, we will consider write-down of our property projects when the estimated net realizable value of these property projects. In determining the net
realizable value, asides from the aforementioned factors, we will also consider the latest economic measures introduced by the local government, recent global and local economic developments, recent sales transactions of the Group and other similar
properties in the surrounding areas, marketability of the Groups existing properties, market survey reports available from independent property valuers, internally available information and managements expectation on future sales.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We conduct impairment review of assets when events of changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable or annually in accordance with relevant accounting standards. An
impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset is less than the greater of its net selling price or the value in use. In determining the value in use, we assess the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to
arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Estimates and judgments are applied in determining these future cash flows and the discount rate.

HK$581.6 million, which consisted primarily sales of trade center units and supporting facilities of approximately HK$575.6 million. The change was attributable to an increase in sales of trade center units and supporting facilities with the
number of units sold and gross floor area of approximately 1,660 units and approximately 165,000 square meters (2010: approximately 1,350 units and approximately 104,000 square meters), respectively, which included a hotel property with gross floor
area of approximately 26,956 square meters (2010: nil). In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our average selling price was HK$3,482 per square meter, which represented an increase of approximately 8% as compared with the average selling
price of HK$3,228 per square meter in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The remainder of revenue represented rental income from leases of trade center units of approximately HK$4.5 million and property management fee income of approximately
HK$1.5 million.

78.9%, from HK$128.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 to HK$229.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The gross profit margin, or gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, increased from 38.0% in for the

increase in selling expenses was primarily due to an increase in advertising expenses of approximately HK$11.6 million, an increase in salaries and commissions paid to sales executives for sales of properties of approximately HK$1.5 million and an
increase in printing expenses incurred for printing of marketing materials of approximately HK$0.7 million. The increase in the above expenses was a result of new sales campaign initiated and the commencement of the new sales center in the fiscal

consultancy fees of approximately HK$8.1 million.

2010 to HK$0.8 million for the fiscal year March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to general increase in average bank balances.

March 31, 2011, we incurred interest expense of approximately HK$30.0 million, out of which HK$26.1 million was capitalized in properties under development and investment properties under development and the rest of HK$3.9 million was

million which offset in part by over-provision for income tax of HK$0.6 million.

The effective tax rate increased from 34.3%
in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 to 38.1% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The increase was caused by an increase in sales of properties in the PRC which was subject to land appreciation tax at progressive rates.

Our interest income from bank deposits decreased by HK$1.5 million, or 80.6%, from HK$1.9 million for fiscal year 2009 to HK$0.4 million for fiscal year 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease
in bank deposit interest rate during the fiscal year 2010 and maintained at a minimal rate throughout the year.

In the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2009, we incurred interest expense of approximately HK$1.8 million. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, we incurred interest expense of approximately HK$24.4 million, all of which was capitalized in properties
under development. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, our weighted average borrowings and weighted average interest rate were approximately HK$422.4 million and 5.8% (2009: approximately HK$ 57.7 million and 3.1%), respectively.

Profit Before Income Tax from Continuing Operation

As a result of the foregoing, we had a profit before income tax from continuing operation of approximately HK$100.2 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. In the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2010, we had a profit before income tax from continuing operation of approximately HK$252.3 million.

Taxation

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, our income tax expenses were HK$26.7 million primarily consisted of
current income tax expenses of HK$25.1 million and deferred tax expenses, arising from fair value gain on investment properties, of HK$1.6 million. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, our income tax expense of HK$86.6 million consisted of
current income tax expenses of HK$48.5 million, deferred tax expense, arising from fair value gain on investment properties, of HK$37.5 million and under-provision for income tax of HK$0.6 million.

The effective tax rate increased from 26.7% in 2009 to 34.3% in 2010. The increase was due to an increase in sales of properties in the
PRC which was subject to land appreciation tax at progressive rates.

Pearl Operation

Revenue attributable to the Pearl Operation decreased by HK$55.1 million, or 17.4%, from HK$316.7 million for fiscal year 2009 to HK$261.6 million for fiscal year 2010. Decreases in revenue attributable
to the Pearl Operation were primarily due to a decrease in market demand in North America and Asian countries, including Hong Kong, due to the current global economic contraction and recession. Accordingly, volume sold to these regions decreased by
HK$44.6 million.

Real Estate Operation

Revenue attributable to the Real Estate Operation increased by HK$34.8 million, or 80.9%, from HK$43.0 million for fiscal year 2009 to HK$77.8 million for fiscal year 2010. The increase was primarily due
to an increase of HK$35.3 million in sales of units in China Pearls and Jewellery City, due to preferential discounts offered to the investors of the real estate in China Pearls and Jewellery City as to buoy up the market sentiments.

Pearl Operation

Cost of sales attributable to the Pearl Operation decreased by HK$63.9 million, or 29.9%, from HK$213.9 million for fiscal year 2009 to HK$150.0 million for fiscal year 2010. The decrease was primarily
due to a decrease in revenue mainly as a result of a decrease in market demand in North America and other regions, such as countries in Europe and Asia, due to the current global economic contraction and recession.

Real Estate Operation

Cost of sales, including direct cost related to rental income, attributable to the Real Estate Operation increased by HK$114.1 million, or 912.8%, from HK$12.5 million for fiscal year 2009 to HK$126.6
million for fiscal year 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales of units in China Pearls and Jewellery City.

Gross
Profit

Pearl Operation

Our gross profit attributable to the Pearl Operation increased by HK$8.8 million, or 8.6%, from HK$102.8 million for fiscal year 2009 to HK$111.6 million for fiscal year 2010. Gross profit margin
increased from 32.5% for fiscal year 2009 to 42.7% for fiscal year 2010. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to our continued shift in our focus to sale of higher value products and a decrease in material cost for the production,
due to a decrease in derived demand for pearls.

Real Estate Operation

Our gross profit attributable to Real Estate Operation decreased by HK$79.3 million from HK$30.5 million for fiscal year 2009 to a gross
loss of HK$48.8 million for fiscal year 2010. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to certain revenue arising from sales of properties in China Pearls and Jewellery City was only recognized up to the amounts received or of which the
collectibility of such receivable is reasonably assured. The amounts not received will be recognized until all criteria of revenue recognition are met. With respect to these sales transactions, we incurred a gross loss of HK$79.7 million due to such
unrecognized revenue.

Other Income and Other Gains/(Loss), Net

In the fiscal year 2009, our other net losses were approximately HK$9.8 million, resulting primarily from an unrealized loss of
approximately HK$5.3 million and a realized loss of approximately HK$3.5 million on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, a loss of approximately HK$2.3 million on disposal of an investment property, but was set off partly by a
government subsidy income of approximately HK$1.6 million.

In the fiscal year 2010, our other income and gains were
approximately HK$16.8 million, primarily from a realized gain of approximately HK$8.9 million on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, a gain of approximately HK$10.8 million on disposal of investment properties, but was set off
partly by an unrealized loss of approximately HK$2.7 million on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Changes in Fair
Values of Investment Properties and Investment Properties Under Construction

In the fiscal year ended March 31,
2009, our fair value of investment properties was HK$845.4 million and a fair value loss of HK$181.7 million was recognized in the consolidated income statement. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, our fair value of investment properties
was HK$762.9 million and a fair value loss of HK$5.3 million was recognized in the consolidated income statement. The fair value loss decreased from HK$181.7 million in 2009 to HK$5.3 million in 2010 was primarily due to a stabilized negative
sentiment on the pearl and jewllery market resulting from signs of recovery from the global financial crisis which was highly correlated to the demand on properties in China Pearls and Jewellery City.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, our fair value of investment properties under construction was HK$200.0 million and a fair
value loss of HK$2.9 million was recognized in the consolidated income statement. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, our fair value of investment properties under construction was HK$133.7 million and a fair value gain of HK$1.3 million
was recognized in the consolidated income statement. The increase in fair value gain was primarily due to an increase in expected property prices upon the completion of the investment properties.

Selling and distribution costs

The decrease in our selling expenses was primarily a result of a decrease of HK$5.1 million in selling expenses of Real Estate Operation.

Pearl Operation

Selling expenses attributable to Pearl Operation were
HK$7.7 million for fiscal year 2009 and 2010, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, selling expenses increased from 2.4% for fiscal year 2009 to 2.9% for fiscal year 2010. The increase in percentage was due to certain expenses, including
exhibition participation fee and fixed costs, did not directly correlate with the fluctuation in revenue.

Real Estate Operation

Selling expenses attributable to Real Estate Operation decreased by HK$5.1 million, or 38.3%, from HK$13.3 million for
fiscal year 2009 to HK$8.2 million for fiscal year 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of HK5.4 million in advertising and promotion expenses for China Pearls and Jewellery City, due to the budget cut on advertising and promotion
activities in response to the government measures to curb the overheat of the property market in the PRC.

Administrative expenses

Our administrative expenses of HK$98.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2010 comprised HK$76.4 million (2009:
HK$79.7 million) from Pearl Operation, HK$18.9 million (2009: HK$37.6 million) from Real Estate Operation and HK$2.9 million (2009: HK$2.8 million) from corporate expenses. The decrease in our administrative expenses was a result of a decrease of
HK$3.3 million in Pearl Operation, a decrease of HK$18.7 million in Real Estate Operation and an increase of HK$0.1 million in corporate expenses. The increase in corporate expenses was primarily due to an increase in compensation expenses arising
from share options of a subsidiary granted to directors and employees by a subsidiary.

Pearl Operation

Our administration expenses attributable to Pearl Operation decreased by HK$3.3 million or 4.1%, from HK$79.7 million for fiscal year 2009
to HK$76.4 million for fiscal year 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of HK$3.7 million in commission expenses, resulting from a decrease in sales for the year.

Real Estate Operation

Our administration expenses attributable to Real
Estate Operation decreased by HK$18.7 million or 49.7%, from HK$37.6 million for fiscal year 2009 to HK$18.9 million for fiscal year 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of HK$15.1 million in provision for doubtful debt resulting from
the improvement in customers settling long outstanding balances.

Net Finance Income/(Costs)

Our interest income from bank deposits decreased by HK$7.9 million, or 81.4%, from HK$9.7 million for fiscal year 2009 to HK$1.8 million
for fiscal year 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in bank deposit interest rate during the fiscal year 2010 and maintained at a minimal rate throughout the year.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we incurred interest expense of approximately HK$16.7 million which all was capitalized in
properties under development and investment properties under construction. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, we incurred interest expense of approximately HK$11.0 million, out of which HK$9.4 million was capitalized in properties under
development and investment properties under construction and the rest of HK$1.6 million was recognized as finance cost in the consolidated financial statements.

Loss Before Income Tax from Discontinued Operations

As a result of
the foregoing, we had a loss before income tax from discontinued operations of approximately HK$192.5 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, we had a loss before income tax from
discontinued operations of approximately HK$38.2 million.

Taxation

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, our income tax credit was HK$52.1 million primarily consisted of deferred tax expenses,
arising from fair value loss on investment properties, of HK$51.8 million and current income tax credit of HK$0.3 million. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, our income tax credit of HK$14.0 million primarily consisted of deferred tax
expenses, arising from fair value loss on investment properties, of HK$26.0 million and over-provision for income tax of HK$0.9 million but offset in part by current income tax of HK$12.9 million.

The effective tax rate increased from 27.1% in 2009 to 36.7% in 2010. The increase was due to loss making subsidiaries while deferred tax
assets have not been provided.

Loss for the Year from Discontinued Operations

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we incurred a net loss from discontinued operations of approximately HK$140.3 million. In
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, we incurred a net loss from discontinued operations of approximately HK$24.2 million as a result of the cumulative effect of the factors discussed above.

Non-Controlling Interests

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, loss attributable to non-controlling interests was approximately HK$109.4 million and HK$29.7 million, respectively.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of cash are to pay for construction costs, land costs (principally the payment of land grant fees), infrastructure costs and consulting fees paid to architects and designers, as well as
to service our indebtedness and fund working capital and normal recurring expenses. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, we financed our operations primarily through internally generated funds, bank borrowings and loans from our
shareholders. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we financed our operations primarily through internally generated funds and bank and other borrowings. We expect to have sufficient sources of funds for the remainder of the year ending
March 31, 2012 to support our current operations, as well as finance ongoing and future projects. These sources are expected to include: (1) rental and sales revenues; (2) debt financing arrangements with banks, including project
financing and working capital facilities and (3) financing through capital markets.

Working Capital

Our current assets consist of completed properties held for sale, inventories, trade receivables, prepayments, deposits and other receivables, pledged bank balances and cash and cash equivalents. Our
current liabilities primarily consist of trade payables, other payables, accruals and deposits received, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings and taxes payable.

As of March 31, 2010 and 2011, we had net current assets, representing the amount by which our current assets exceeded our current liabilities, of approximately HK$837.2 million and
HK$345.5 million, respectively. The fluctuation in our working capital position during this period primarily reflected changes in cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities, when development of our industrial and
agricultural trade centers, supporting commercial facilities, warehouse facilities and other facilities in China Northeast Logistics CityTieling were completed and changes in the amount of construction fee payables and bank and other
borrowings related to the development of China Northeast Logistics CityTieling.

Cash Flow (Used in)/Generated from Operating Activities

We derive cash from operating activities principally from the sale of trade center units in Agricultural Logistics Operation and Pearl
Operation. We use cash generated from operating activities principally for investments in properties under development and purchase of inventory such as pearls.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was HK$53.1 million, which consisted of operating cash inflow before changes in working capital of HK$225.7 million,
cash outflow of net interest and tax of HK$53.0 million and working capital cash outflow of HK$225.8 million. Working capital changes primarily reflected a negative change resulting from additions to properties under development of HK$456.4 million,
an increase in inventories of HK$0.5 million, an increase in trade and other receivables of HK$81.7 million, additions to land use rights of HK$137.5 million, deposits paid for acquisition of land use rights of HK$41.2 million and a decrease in

D. Trend Information

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this annual
report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the period from March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenues, income,
profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that caused the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On August 25, 2009, at the general
meeting, the shareholders of Man Sang Holdings, Inc., the former immediate holding company, resolved that Man Sang Holdings, Inc. dissolve and liquidate, whereby Man Sang Holdings, Inc. has been succeeded by the Company. From its inception in August
1995 through the completion of the dissolution and liquidation on August 25, 2009, the Company was wholly-owned subsidiary of Man Sang Holdings, Inc. The liquidation did not result in tax for Man Sang Holdings, Inc. Such result is subject to
assessment by U.S. tax authority. As the Company has succeeded Man Sang Holdings, Inc. and contractually assumed all of Man Sang Holdings, Inc.s rights, obligations and liabilities, if the assessment differs from actual result, it may give
rise to the possibility of outflow in settlement of tax by the Company.

Except as described above, we have not entered into
any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any unconsolidated third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as
shareholders equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or
market risk support to such entity.

management our system of internal controls and financial reporting process and monitoring our compliance program and system. The audit committee also makes recommendations on improvements and conducts other duties as the board of directors may
delegate.

The audit committee consists of Mr. Yuen Ka Lok, Ernest, as Chairman, Mr. Wong Gee Hang, Henry,

judgment, (1) determined that all members of the audit committee are financially literate, (2) determined that Mr. Wong Gee Hang, Henry is qualified as an audit committee financial expert, within the meaning of SEC
regulations, that he has accounting and related financial management expertise within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE Amex and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and (3) determined that Mr. Yuen, Mr. Lai,

Based on the audit committees review and discussions noted above, the audit committee recommended to
the board of directors that audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 be included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee consists of Mr. Lai Chau Ming, Matthew, as Chairman, Mr. Wong Gee Hang, Henry and Mr. Tsui King Chung, Francis.

The compensation committee deliberates and stipulates the compensation policy for our company. Each year the compensation committee
directs our company, through an internal committee consisting of the Chief Financial Officer, the executive directors and Manager of Human Resources and Administration, to prepare a compensation philosophy and strategy statement for the compensation
of the executives and a proposed executive compensation framework for the year. When establishing the proposed compensation framework, in keeping with our goal of attracting, motivating, and retaining executives who will contribute to our long-term
success and an increase in the value of our shares, the internal committee undertakes the review of comparative compensation offered by peer companies that may compete with our company for executive talent. The peer group we used for compensation
comparison and analysis purposes includes companies with workforce sizes, revenues, assets, and market values within a certain range above and below our levels. The internal committee periodically reviews the comparative compensation offered by the
peer group and makes changes as appropriate to reflect changes in the market and our industry. The peer group is not necessarily limited to a particular industry as we believe we compete for executive talent across a wider group of entities.

During the year ended March 31, 2011, the compensation committee met one time and discussed and reviewed the personnel
system and compensation package of our directors and officers.

The board of directors has determined that each member of the
compensation committee satisfies the definition of independent as established in the NYSE Amex corporate governance listing standards.

The compensation committee has a compensation committee charter which is posted on our website at www.chinametrorural.com.

Nominating Committee

We do not have a nominating committee. The
functions customarily attributable to a nominating committee are performed by the independent directors (as defined in the applicable standards of NYSE Amex) of the board of directors. It is the board of directors view that it is appropriate
not to have a separately designated nominating committee because, given our size and the number of directors on the board of directors, the costs of having such a committee outweigh the benefits.

##### Table of Contents

A current copy of our nomination charter is posted on our website at
www.chinametrorural.com. The independent directors will consider recommendations from shareholders holding more than 5% of our outstanding shares for candidates to the board of directors. The name of any recommended candidate for being
director, together with a brief biographical sketch, a document indicating the candidates willingness to serve, if elected, and evidence of the nominating shareholders ownership of our shares should be sent to the attention of the
Secretary of the Company not less than 120 days nor more than 180 days before July 15, 2012, the first anniversary of the mailing date of our proxy statement for our 2011 annual meeting.

Attendance of the Board of Directors

During the year ended
March 31, 2011, our board of directors held ten meetings and adopted five unanimous written consents of action.

Six of
our directors attended our 2010 annual meeting of shareholders held at Suite 2208, 22/F, Sun Life Tower, The Gateway, 15 Canton Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Duties of Directors

Under British Virgin Islands law, our directors have a

We believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees, and we have not experienced
any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for our operations. Our employees currently are not party to any collective bargaining agreement, and no labor union has been organized to represent our employees.

We are required under PRC law to make defined contributions to the employee benefit plans including housing funds, pension, work-related
injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical and unemployment benefit plans at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of our employees, up to a maximum amount specified by the respective local government authorities
where we operate our businesses from time to time. Members of the retirement plan are entitled to a pension equal to a fixed proportion of the salary prevailing at the members retirement date.

As of March 31, 2011, 5 of our employees were located in Hong Kong. We operate a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund
retirement benefits scheme, or the MPF Scheme, as required under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, for our eligible employees in Hong Kong. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees basic salaries. The
assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from our assets in an independently administered fund, and our employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

The total amount of contributions we made to employee benefit plans in fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011 was approximately US$359,000 (or
HK$2,800,000), US$371,000 (or HK$2,892,000), and US$120,000 (or HK$937,000) respectively.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Our board of directors is responsible for reviewing relationships and transactions in which we and our directors and executive officers
or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such related persons have a direct or indirect material interest.We review questionnaires provided by the directors and executive officers at the end of each fiscal year
confirming the nature of their related transactions with us, if any, during the year.Our board of directors is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors
and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction.Our board of directors
reviews and approves or ratifies any related person transaction that is required to be disclosed.In the course of its review and approval or ratification of a disclosable related person transaction, the board of directors considers:



| |  |  | the nature of the related persons interest in the transaction;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the material terms of the transaction, including, without limitation, the amount and type of transaction;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the importance of the transaction to the related person;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the importance of the transaction to us;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in our best interest; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any other matters the board of directors deems appropriate.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

Any member of the board of directors who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations or vote for approval or ratification of the transaction,
provided, however, that this director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors that considers the transaction.

No material related person transactions have occurred since the beginning of fiscal year 2007 up to and including the date of this annual report or are currently proposed, other than as set forth in the
discussion of the Merger and as set forth below:

On July 1, 2008, Man Sang Jewellery Company Limited, an former indirect
subsidiary of ours, entered into an agreement to share office premises with China South City Holdings Limited, an enterprise controlled by our controlling shareholders, Mr.Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and Mr. Cheng Tai Po, pursuant to
which Man Sang Jewellery Company Limited agreed to share a portion of its office premises with China South City Holdings Limited for a term expiring on March 16, 2011. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, China South City Holdings
Limited paid Man Sang Jewellery Company Limited approximately HK$0.64 million (inclusive of rental rates, management fees and government rates) pursuant to the terms of this agreement. This arrangement is from the Discontinued Operations, which
ceased to be part of the Group subsequent to the Distribution.

In addition to their investments in the Company, Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and his
brother, Mr. Cheng Tai Po, own all of the outstanding shares of Accurate Gain Developments Limited and 80% of the outstanding shares of Proficient Success Limited. As of March 31, 2011, Accurate Gain Developments Limited, Proficient
Success Limited, Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and Mr. Cheng Tai Po owned an aggregate of 2,471,444,558 of the 5,987,564,000 outstanding shares of China South City Holdings Limited, or China South City, and Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky,
held options to purchase 66,000,000 shares of China South City. China South City is one of the leading developers and operators of large-scale integrated logistics and trade centers in China, providing a comprehensive trading platform for domestic
and international wholesale suppliers, buyers, manufacturers and distributors of raw materials and finished products. It sells and leases trade center units for businesses to display and sell their products. China South City also provides their
clients with one-stop convenient supply chain solutions that include a full range of facilities and services such as offices, residential, conference and exhibition facilities, hotels and restaurants, warehousing and on-site logistics services,
banking, on-site government services in a bid to offer. Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, is also the Co-Founder, Co-Chairman and Executive Director of China South City. In addition, Mr. Leung Moon Lam, a director of China Metro-Rural Limited
and some of its subsidiaries, is a Co-Founder, Executive Director and the Chief Executive Officer of China South City.

Differences between
China Northeast Logistics Cities and China South City

We believe China Northeast Logistics Cities and China South City can
be differentiated for a number of reasons. First, China South City is located in Shenzhen, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province and Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and attracts clientele from these regions. In addition, China South City and China
Northeast Logistics Cities were established at different times with a focus on different industry sectors. The products offered by, and the occupants of, China Northeast Logistics Cities are distinctively different from those of China South City.
China Northeast Logistics Cities are agricultural logistics and trade centers. China South City is an industrial logistics and trade centers. Also, the PRC subsidiaries of China South City has entered into master agreements with local government
agencies in Shenzhen, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province and Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region that set out each partys commitments and expectations and a proposed framework for these integrated logistics and trade center developments. On the
other hand, our PRC subsidiaries has not entered into a master plan or agreement with government agencies, which gives China Northeast Logistics Cities more flexibility.

Contracts with China South City

Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and
Mr. Leung Moon Lam are each parties to a deed of option and undertaking with China South City. Pursuant to the deed of option and undertaking of which we are not a party of, each of Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and Mr. Leung Moon Lam
has granted to China South City an option to acquire all their respective effective interests in China Northeast Logistics Cities at any time until September 30, 2014 or two years after the completion of the development of China Northeast
Logistics Cities (whichever is later) so long as: (i) for Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, he remains a controlling shareholder of China South City or a director of China South City; or (ii) for Mr. Leung Moon Lam, he remains a
director of China South City. China South City also has the right to buy all the respective interests held by Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky, and/or Mr. Leung Moon Lam in China Northeast Logistics Cities before they are offered to any other
third party. The price payable by China South City for such interests shall be determined with reference to the fair market value of such interests as determined by an internationally recognized valuer.

If China South City decides, after due consideration, not to exercise the option but wishes to develop China South Citys business
operations in Liaoning Province, which may result in competition between China South City and China Northeast Logistics Cities, China South City shall be entitled to, at any time within the above option period, require Mr. Cheng Chung Hing,
Ricky (so long as he remains a controlling shareholder of China South City or a director of China South City), and/or Mr. Leung Moon Lam (so long as he remains a director of China South City) to dispose of all their respective interests in
China Northeast Logistics Cities to independent third parties as soon as practicable and in any event, prior to the occurrence of any competition between China South City and China Northeast Logistics Cities.

##### Table of Contents

In connection with the Merger, Mr. Cheng Chung Hing, Ricky and Mr. Leung Moon
Lam sought confirmation from China South City as to whether China South City would opt to exercise its rights of first offer granted to it by both Mr. Cheng and Mr. Leung to purchase all their respective effective
interests in China Northeast Logistics Cities. Following that request, China South City held an extraordinary general meeting in which its independent shareholders approved, confirmed and ratified its non-exercise of the rights of first offer
granted to it by each of Mr. Cheng and Mr. Leung in relation to the Merger. While the rights of first offer no longer exist with respect to the completed Merger, the option to exercise the rights of first offer remains in effect
with respect to subsequent transfers until September 30, 2014 or two years after the completion of the development of China Northeast Logistics Cities (whichever is later).

board of directors deems relevant. Cash dividends, if any, on the ordinary shares of the Company will be paid in U.S. dollars.

We are a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and will rely principally on dividends, loans or advances paid to us by our subsidiaries incorporated in China for our cash

MSIL, to the Companys shareholders, or the Distribution.

Any dividends paid by a PRC subsidiary to an immediate holding
company that is incorporated in Hong Kong will be subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 5%, provided the Hong Kong incorporated subsidiary is not considered to be a PRC tax resident enterprise.

If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as
China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%.

|Item 10. | Additional Information.
|-------- | -----------------------

A. Share
Capital

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

We are a British Virgin Islands
company and our affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended and restated from time to time, and The BVI Business Companies Act, 2004.

The following statements are summaries of our share capital structure and of the more important rights and privileges of shareholders conferred by our Memorandum and Articles of Association and The BVI
Business Companies Act, 2004 insofar as they relate to the material terms of our ordinary shares. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association are available for examination at our registered office and are on file with the SEC.

We have two classes of shares: ordinary shares, which will have identical rights in all respects and rank equally with one another, and
preferred shares. Our authorized share capital consists of 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, and 200,000 preferred shares, par value US$0.001 per share.

Our Objects and Purposes

Under our Memorandum and Articles of Association,
we have, irrespective of corporate benefit, full capacity to carry on or undertake any business or activity, do any act or enter into any transaction.

Preferred Shares

Dividends

The holders of preferred shares are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors out of any funds legally available
therefor, a dividend per share equal to any dividends per share declared on shares of our ordinary shares. Dividends on the preferred shares shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment before any dividends shall be paid or declared and set
apart for payment on the ordinary shares with respect to the same dividend period. The right to such dividends on preferred shares are not cumulative, and no rights accrue to the holders of such shares by reason of the boards failure to pay or
declare and set apart dividends thereon.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of
preferred shares are entitled to a liquidation preference to be paid first out of our assets available for distribution to holders of our shares of all classes an amount equal to US$25 per preferred share before any distribution of assets. If our
assets shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to the holders of the preferred shares, then our entire assets available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the preferred shares in proportion to the
full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

Voting Rights

Holders of our preferred shares, as a class, will be entitled to vote 3,191,225 shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock
dividends and combinations, in all matters voted on by our shareholders.

Ordinary Shares

General

All of
our outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the ordinary shares are issued in registered form. Our shareholders who are nonresidents of the British Virgin Islands may freely hold and vote their
shares.

##### Table of Contents

Dividends

The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to The BVI Business Companies Act, 2004.

Liquidation

On a
return of capital on winding-up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of shares), assets available for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares shall be distributed among the holders of the ordinary shares on a pro
rata basis, but subject to the liquidation preference of the holders of the preferred shares. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne
by our shareholders proportionately, but, as above, subject to the liquidation preference of the holders of the preferred shares.

Voting Rights

Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters upon which our shares are entitled to vote and voting at any meeting of
shareholders is by show of hands.

Warrants to Purchase Ordinary Shares

General

We issued warrants on May 11, 2011, pursuant to a
warrant agency agreement. The warrants are exercisable at any time upon issuance until the date that is three years after their issuance, or May 11, 2014. The warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by
delivering to the warrant agent a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of our ordinary purchased upon such exercise. No fractional ordinary shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of a warrant. In
lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the market value of an ordinary share.

Failure to Timely Deliver Ordinary Shares

If we fail to deliver to
the investor a certificate representing ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant by the third trading day after the delivery date as required by the warrant, and if the investor purchases the ordinary shares after that third trading day
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the investor of the underlying warrant shares that the investor anticipated receiving from us, then, within three trading days of receipt of the investors request, we, at the investors discretion,
either (i) pay cash to the investor in an amount equal to the investors total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the ordinary shares purchased less the exercise price (as described below), or the Buy-In Price, at
which point our obligation to deliver the warrant (and to issue the underlying ordinary shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor our obligation to deliver to the investor a certificate or certificates representing the underlying ordinary
shares and pay cash to the investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) the number of ordinary shares, times (B) the closing price on the date of the event giving rise to our obligation to
deliver the certificate.

Exercise Price

Each warrant represents the right to purchase ordinary shares at an exercise price equal to $3.456 per share, subject to adjustment as described below. The exercise price is subject to appropriate
adjustment in the event of certain dividends and share distributions, share splits, share combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our ordinary shares and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, shares or other
property to our shareholders. The exercise price is also subject to broad-based weighted average anti-dilution adjustments in the event that we issue shares in the future at a per share price below the exercise price of the warrants, subject to
customary exclusions from anti-dilution adjustments.

##### Table of Contents

Make Good Adjustment

Each warrant contains make good adjustments features that may impact the warrants exercise price. The extent of any make good adjustment depends on our Adjusted
EBITDA as described below.



| |  |  | If for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 our Adjusted EBITDA does not exceed US$20 million, then the exercise price of the warrants shall be
adjusted to US$0.001.

| |  |  | If for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 our Adjusted EBITDA:
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is equal to or greater than US$35.0 million, but less than US$42.5 million, then the exercise price of the warrants shall be adjusted to 70% of the
purchase price for a unit; or

| |  |  | is equal to or greater than US$42.5 million, but less than US$50.0 million, then the exercise price of the warrants shall be adjusted to 100% of the
purchase price for a unit.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adjusted EBITDA

For purposes of the make good adjustments in the warrants, the term Adjusted EBITDA shall equal the Companys
operating profit/(loss) as reported in our year-end audited consolidated financial statements (i) plus any depreciation and amortization expenses and (ii) excluding the effects of changes in fair value of investment properties and
gain/loss of derivative financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Each Adjusted EBITDA calculation shall be determined by rounding to the nearest $0.01 million.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be
offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Exchange Listing

We do not plan to list the warrants on the NYSE Amex, any other national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system
or market.

Fundamental Transactions

If we consummate any merger, consolidation, sale or other reorganization event in which our ordinary shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (as defined in the
warrants, a fundamental transaction), then following such event, the holders of the warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had
they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such reorganization event in which our ordinary shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property. If the holders of the warrants exercise their warrants within 90 days of
the fundamental transaction and prior to the expiration of the warrant, we will take the necessary actions to ensure that holders of the warrants will have the right to receive the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the
holders would have been entitled to receive if the warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the fundamental transaction.

Rights
as a Shareholder

Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holders ownership of our
ordinary shares, the holder of a warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our ordinary shares, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the warrant.

General Provisions of Our Shares

Voting and Quorum. If the chairman shall have any doubt as to the outcome of any resolution put to the vote, he shall cause
a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution, but if the chairman shall fail to take a poll then any shareholder present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately
following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall thereupon cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result thereof shall be duly recorded in the minutes of that meeting by the chairman.

A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy or, if a
corporation, by its duly authorized representative holding not less than one-third of the outstanding voting shares in our company. Shareholders meetings may be convened by our board of directors on its own initiative or upon a request to the
directors by shareholders holding in the aggregate 30% or more of our voting share capital. Advance notice of at least 10 (but not more than 60) days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders meeting and any other
general shareholders meeting. Our shareholders meeting may be held in such place within or outside the British Virgin Islands as our board of directors considers appropriate.

An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the
ordinary shares (including preferred shares which represent ordinary shares) cast in a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast attaching to the ordinary shares (including
preferred shares which represent ordinary shares). An ordinary resolution is required for matters such as an amendment of the Memorandum and Articles of Association to increase or reduce the number of shares that we are authorized to issue and a
repurchase of our outstanding shares. An ordinary resolution is required for the removal of directors with cause.

Transfer of Shares. Any transfer of our shares shall be evidenced by a written instrument of transfer executed by or on
behalf of the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee. A transfer of shares is effective when the name of the transferee is entered in our share register in respect of such shares and we shall not be required to treat a
transferee of a share as a shareholder until the transferees name has been entered in the register.

Calls on
Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 days prior to the specified time and
place of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

Redemption of
Shares. The directors may, on our behalf, subject to an ordinary resolution of members (including the written consent of all the members whose shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired), purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire
any of our own shares for such consideration as they consider appropriate, and either cancel or hold such shares as treasury shares. The directors may dispose of any shares held as treasury shares on such terms and conditions as they may from time
to time determine. Shares may be purchased or otherwise acquired in exchange for newly issued shares.

Variation of
Rights of Shares. If at any time our shares are divided into different classes, the rights attached to any class or series of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series), whether or not we
are being wound-up, may be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of a simple majority of the issued shares of that class or series or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast at a separate meeting
of the holders of the shares of the class or series.

##### Table of Contents

Inspection of Register of Members. Pursuant to our Memorandum and Articles of
Association, our register of members and branch register of members shall be open for inspection by shareholders for such times and on such days as its board of directors shall determine, without charge, or by any other person upon a maximum payment
of US$2.50 or such other sum specified by the board, at the registered office or such other place at which the register is kept in accordance with The BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 or, upon a maximum payment of US$1.00 or such other sum specified
by the board, at our registered office, unless the register is closed in accordance with our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Designations and Classes of Shares. All of our issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the liquidation will be ordinary shares and preferred shares. Our Memorandum and Articles
of Association provide that our authorized unissued shares shall be at the disposal of our board of directors, which may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, at such times and for such consideration and upon
such terms and conditions as our board may in its absolute discretion determine. In particular, our board of directors is empowered to authorize from time to time the issuance of one or more additional classes or series of preferred shares and to
fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, including, without limitation, the number of shares constituting each
such class or series, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges, voting power, full or limited or no voting power, and liquidation preferences, and to increase or decrease the size of any such class or series.

Shareholders

Only
persons who are registered in the register of members are recognized as our shareholders.

No Limitations on Ownership
of Securities.There are no limitations on the right of non-residents or foreign persons to own our securities imposed by BVI laws or by our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Ownership Threshold.There are no provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be
disclosed imposed by BVI laws or by our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Changes in Capital

We may, by an ordinary resolution of members, amend our Memorandum and Articles of Association to increase or reduce the maximum number of
shares that we are authorized to issue.

Subject to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, we may, by an ordinary
resolution of members:



| |  |  | divide our shares, including issued shares, into a larger number of shares; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | combine our shares, including issued shares, into a smaller number of shares;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

provided that, where shares are divided or combined, the aggregate par value of the new shares must be equal to the aggregate par value of the original
shares.

Directors Power to Issue Shares

Our Memorandum and Articles of Association authorizes our board of directors to issue additional ordinary and preferred shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, up to the amount
of the available authorized but unissued shares.



98



---

##### Table of Contents

Our board of directors may issue preferred shares without action by its shareholders up to
the amount of the authorized but unissued preferred shares. The issuance of preferred shares may be used as an anti-takeover device without further action on the part of the shareholders. The issuance of these shares could adversely affect the
voting power and other rights of holders of our ordinary shares. Subject to the directors duty of acting in our interest, preferred shares can be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our company or
make removal of management more difficult. Additionally, the issuance of preferred shares may have the effect of decreasing the market price of the ordinary shares, and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of the ordinary
shares.

Conflicts of Interest

A director shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose the interest to the board of directors,
unless the transaction or proposed transaction (a) is between the director and the Company and (b) is to be entered into in the ordinary course of the Companys business and on usual terms and conditions.

A transaction entered into by the Company in respect of which a director is interested in voidable by the Company unless the director
complies with the above provision or (a) the material facts of the interest of the director in the transaction are known by the shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders and the transaction is approved or ratified by an
ordinary resolution of shareholders or (b) the Company received a fair value for the transaction.

A director who is
interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company may vote on a matter relating to the transaction, attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors
present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum and sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as director that related to the transaction.

Remuneration of Directors

Directors shall not receive any stated salary
for their services, but by a resolution of directors a fixed sum may be allowed for attendance at each meeting of the board.

Directors Power to Manage Business

The board of directors may, from time to time and at its discretion, exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital or any
part thereof, and may exercise power in such manner and upon such terms and conditions in all respects as it thinks fit.

Indemnification

British Virgin Islands law does not limit the extent to which a companys memorandum and articles of association may
provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the British Virgin Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the
consequences of committing a crime.

Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that, subject to The BVI Business
Companies Act, 2004, we will indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any
person who:



| |  |  | is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of our company; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | is or was, at the request of our company, serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body
corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be entitled to indemnification,
these persons must have acted honestly and in good faith and in the best interest of our company, and they must have had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

If any such person mentioned above has been successful in defense of any proceedings referred to above, that person is entitled to be
indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with the proceedings.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Limitations on Rights to Hold or Vote Shares

Except as described herein, there are no limitations imposed by British Virgin Islands law or by our Memorandum and Articles of Association on the rights of non-resident shareholders to hold or vote our
ordinary shares.

Exchange Controls

There are no material British Virgin Islands laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation that impose foreign exchange controls on us or that affect our payment of dividends, interest or other payments
to non-resident holders of our shares.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Memorandum and Articles of Association

Some provisions of British Virgin Islands law and our Memorandum and Articles of Association could make the acquisition of us by means of
a tender offer or merger, or by means of a proxy contest or otherwise, more difficult.

These provisions, which include a
business combination provision, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. Although as a British Virgin Islands company, we are not subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the business combination provision in our articles largely mirror the intention of Section 203 and generally prohibit business combinations between us and an interested shareholder. These provisions are also
designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe the benefits of the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or
restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging those proposals because negotiation of them could result in an improvement of their terms.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our
ordinary and preferred shares is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Disclosure of Share Ownership

Our Memorandum or Articles of Association do not provide for any ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Amendment of Memorandum and Articles of Association

The Company may at any time and from time to time by ordinary resolution alter or amend its Memorandum of Association and Articles of
Association in whole or in part subject, in the case of any alteration or amendment which modifies the rights of a class of shares, to consent from holders of that class of shares as more fully set out above.

Other Information

Information regarding our Memorandum and Articles of Association, material contracts, exchange controls, and taxation is included in
Item 10, Additional Information in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, as updated by our Form 6-K furnished on January 18, 2011, and incorporated by reference herein.

C. Material Contracts

Other than those listed in the paragraphs below, we have not entered into any material contracts other than in the ordinary course of
business or other than those described in Item 4 Information on the Company and elsewhere in this annual report.

On July 31, 2010, China Tieling Northeast entered into an RMB loan contract with SPD Bank, under which SPD Bank extended an RMB50,000,000 loan to China Tieling Northeast. The term of the loan is from
dates of drawn down (between August 30, 2011 to September 1, 2011) to July 14, 2011. This RMB loan is secured by charges over certain office properties and self-used properties of China Tieling Northeast with an aggregate gross floor
area of approximately 20,638 square meters.

On July 17, 2010 one of our subsidiaries, China Metro-Rural Development
Limited entered into a cooperative framework agreement and a cooperative agreement with Dezhou Municipal Government of the PRC, under which we, through a project company incorporated in mainland China, will develop and operate a logistics platform
in Dezhou City, Shandong province, PRC or China Northeast Logistics CityDezhou. The planned site area of this project is approximately 7,000,000 square meters with maximum gross floor area of approximately 15,000,000 square meters.

On August 2, 2010, China Tieling Northeast entered into an RMB loan contract with Tieling Commercial Bank, under which Tieling
Commercial Bank extended an RMB80,000,000 loan to China Tieling Northeast. The term of this loan is from August 2, 2010 to August 1, 2013. This loan is secured by (1) personal guarantee given by a shareholder who is also a director of
the Company and (2) charges over certain office properties with an aggregate area of approximately 25,432 square meters.

On December 20, 2010, one of our subsidiaries, China Metro-Rural Limited, entered into two HKD loan agreements, where the terms and
conditions of the loan agreements are identified except for the amount, with certain independent third parties, under which these third parties extended an aggregate amount of HK$60,000,000 loan to China Metro-Rural Limited. The term of these loans
is from December 20, 2010 to December 19, 2014. The loans are unsecured, interest bearing at 13% per annum and subject to additional cumulative interest of 7% per annum if it is early repaid.

D. Exchange Controls

The principal regulations governing foreign currency exchange in China are the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations, as amended in August 2008. Under the Regulations, the Renminbi is freely
convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans, repatriation of
investments and investments in securities outside of China, unless the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange is obtained and prior registration with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange is made. August 29, 2008,
the State Administration of Foreign Exchange promulgated a notice, Circular 142, regulating the conversion by a foreign-invested company of foreign currency into Renminbi by restricting how the converted Renminbi may be used. The notice requires
that the registered capital of a foreign-invested company settled in Renminbi converted from foreign currencies may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity
investments within the PRC. In addition, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange strengthened its oversight of the flow and use of the registered capital of a foreign-invested company settled in Renminbi converted from foreign currencies. The
use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without the State Administration of Foreign Exchanges approval, and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been used. Violations of Circular
142 will result in severe penalties, such as heavy fines.

The dividends paid by the subsidiary to its overseas shareholder
are deemed income of the shareholder and are taxable in China. Pursuant to the Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), foreign-invested enterprises in China may purchase or remit foreign currency, subject
to a cap approved by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, for settlement of current account transactions without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Foreign currency transactions under the capital account are still
subject to limitations and require approvals from or registration with, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and other relevant PRC governmental authorities.

All of our agricultural logistics business revenues are denominated in Renminbi, while a portion of our expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in
exchange rates, particularly those involving the U.S. dollar may affect our costs and operating margins. In addition, these fluctuations could result in exchange losses and increased costs in Renminbi terms. Where our operations conducted in
Renminbi are reported in dollars, such fluctuations could result in changes in reported results which do not reflect changes in the underlying operations. Since January 1, 1994, the PRC government has used a unitary managed floating rate
system. Under that system, the Peoples Bank of China, or PBOC, publishes a daily base exchange rate with reference primarily to the supply and demand of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies in the market during the
previous day. Authorized banks and financial institutions are allowed to quote buy and sell rats for Renminbi within a specified bank around the central banks daily exchange rate. On July 21, 2005, PBOC announced an adjustment of the
exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to Renminbi from 1:8.27 to 1:8.11 and modified the system by which the exchange rates are determined. While the international reaction to the Renminbi revaluation has generally been positive, there remains
significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further revaluation and a significant fluctuation of the exchange rate of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar,
including possible devaluations. As substantially all of our agricultural logistics business revenues are denominated in Renminbi, such a potential future devaluation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our results of
operations.

In October 2005, SAFE promulgated regulations that require registration with local SAFE in connection with direct
or indirect offshore investment by PRC residents, including PRC individual residents and PRC corporate entities. These regulations apply to our shareholders who are PRC residents and also apply to our prior and future offshore acquisitions.



102



---

##### Table of Contents

The SAFE regulations retroactively require registration by March 31, 2006 of direct or
indirect investments previously made by PRC residents in offshore companies. If a PRC resident with a direct or indirect stake in an offshore parent company fails to make the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of such offshore parent
company may be prohibited from making distributions of profit to the offshore parent and from paying the offshore parent proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation in respect of the PRC subsidiaries. Further, failure to
comply with various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liability under PRC law for foreign exchange evasion.

E. Taxation

The
following summary of the material British Virgin Islands tax consequences and material United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ordinary and preferred shares and warrants is based upon laws and relevant interpretations
thereof in effect as of the date of this annual report, all of which are subject to change. We have also provided a summary of the material PRC and Hong Kong taxes in respect of our business operations. This summary does not deal with all possible
tax consequences relating to an investment in our ordinary and preferred shares and warrants.

British Virgin Islands Tax Consequences

Capital gains realized with respect to any of our shares, warrants, debt obligations or other securities by persons who
are not persons resident in the British Virgin Islands are exempt from all provisions of the Income Tax Act of the British Virgin Islands. No estate, inheritance, succession or gift tax rate, duty, levy or other charge is payable by persons who are
not persons resident in the British Virgin Islands with respect to any of our shares, warrants, debt obligations or other securities.

No stamp duty is payable in the British Virgin Islands on a transfer of shares or warrants in a British Virgin Islands business company or upon the exercise of warrants of a British Virgin Islands
business company.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

General

The following are the material U.S. federal income tax
consequences applicable to U.S. Holders of owning ordinary and preferred shares and warrants of the Company. For this purpose U.S. Holders is a beneficial owner of our securities that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:



| |  |  | an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the
United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

##### Table of Contents

If a beneficial owner of our securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an
entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a Non-U.S. Holder. This discussion does not address the tax treatment Non-U.S. Holders or of
partnerships or other pass-through entities that hold our ordinary shares or warrants, or of persons who hold such ordinary shares or warrants, or will hold our ordinary shares or warrants, through such entities. The U.S. federal income tax
consequences of a partner in a partnership holding our ordinary shares or warrants generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. We recommend that partners in such a partnership and beneficial owners of
other pass-through entities holding our ordinary shares or warrants consult their own tax advisors.

The U.S. federal
income tax consequences applicable to Non-U.S. Holders owning our ordinary shares are described below under the heading Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code, its legislative history, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published
rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder of our ordinary shares or warrants based on such holders individual
circumstances. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that own and hold such our ordinary shares and warrants as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not address the potential
application of the alternative minimum tax or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including but not limited to:



| |  |  | banks and certain financial institutions or financial services entities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | broker-dealers;
| | - |  | ---------------



| |  |  | taxpayers who have elected mark-to-market accounting;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tax-exempt organizations, plans or accounts;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

| |  |  | certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our voting shares;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | persons that hold our ordinary shares as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

This discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or state or local
tax laws.

We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, as to any
U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the conclusions expressed in discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court.

BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TAX LAWS AND BECAUSE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER OF OUR SECURITIES MAY BE AFFECTED
BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN, EACH HOLDER OF OUR SECURITIES IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH ITS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND
EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS OTHER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Our Ordinary Shares

Section 7874 Inversion Rules

Section 7874(b) generally provides that a corporation organized outside the United States which acquires, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a plan or series of related transactions, substantially
all of the assets of a corporation organized in the United States will be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the stockholders of the acquired corporation own at least 80% of either the voting power or the value of
the stock of the acquiring corporation after the acquisition by reason of owning shares in the acquired corporation. If Section 7874(b) were to apply to the 2009 liquidation of Man Sang Holdings Inc., we would be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on our worldwide taxable income as if we were a U.S. corporation.

Upon completion of the liquidation, the shareholders of
Man Sang Holdings Inc. owned more than 80% of our then issued and outstanding stock by reason of owning shares in Man Sang Holdings Inc. However, we did not acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the assets of Man Sang Holdings Inc. (other than
rights to a potential tax refund, which was insignificant). Thus, we believe that Section 7874(b) should not apply to us and have consistently taken that position for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have not sought a ruling from the IRS on
this point. Therefore, the IRS may assert that we are subject to U.S. federal income tax on our worldwide income.

The
remainder of this discussion assumes that we will be treated as a foreign corporation and not as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Taxation of Distributions Paid on Ordinary Shares

Subject to the
discussion of passive foreign investment companies below, any distributions we make with respect to our ordinary shares to a U.S. Holder should generally constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary income or qualified dividend
income, as described in more detail below, to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits should be treated first as
a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holders tax basis in its ordinary shares and thereafter as capital gain. Because we are not a U.S. corporation, U.S. Holders that are corporations should not be entitled to claim a
dividends received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us.

With respect to certain non-corporate
U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, dividends may be taxed at the lower capital gains rate applicable to qualified dividend income, provided that (1) either
(a) the ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (b) we are eligible for the benefits of a qualifying income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information
program, (2) we are neither a PFIC nor treated as such with respect to you (as discussed below) for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid and the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Under
IRS authority, ordinary shares will be considered for purposes of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on NYSE Amex Equities, as are our ordinary shares. In
addition, if we are treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes under the EIT Law, we may be eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC. You should consult your tax advisors
regarding the availability of the lower capital gains rate applicable to qualified dividend income for dividends paid with respect to or ordinary shares.



105



---

##### Table of Contents

If PRC withholding taxes apply to dividends paid to you with respect to our ordinary shares,
the amount of the dividend paid to you would be net of any PRC taxes withheld and, subject to certain conditions and limitations, such PRC withholding taxes generally would be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against your U.S. federal
income tax liability. Dividends would constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If the dividends are taxed as qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for
purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will in general be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by the reduced tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income and divided by the highest tax rate normally
applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by us with respect to the ordinary shares will generally
constitute passive category income, but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute general category income.

The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex and you should consult your tax advisor regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit in your particular circumstances,
including the effects of any applicable income tax treaties.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of a warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares for which the warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price
of the warrant in certain events. If an adjustment is made to the number of shares for which a warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of a warrant, the adjustment may, under certain circumstances, result in a constructive distribution
that could be taxable as a dividend to the U.S. Holder of the warrant. Conversely, the absence of an appropriate anti-dilution adjustment (e.g., not adjusting the exercise price and number of shares issuable on exercise of the warrant for issuances
of shares at a price below the warrant exercise price and below market) may result in a constructive distribution that could be taxable as a dividend to the U.S. Holders of ordinary shares.

Taxation on the Sale, Exchange or other Disposition of Ordinary Shares

Upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder
should generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares, if the ordinary shares transferred constitute capital assets.
Capital gains recognized by U.S. Holders generally are subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same rate as ordinary income, except that long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income
tax at a maximum rate of 15% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holders holding period for the ordinary shares exceeds one year. The
deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.

Any gain or loss that you recognize on a disposition of
ordinary shares will generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. However, if we are treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, you may be eligible for the benefits of the
income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC. In such event, if PRC tax were to be imposed on any gain from the disposition of the ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder that is eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the
United States and the PRC may elect to treat the gain as PRC source income for foreign tax credit purposes. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of gain or loss in your particular circumstances, including the effects
of any applicable income tax treaties.

Exercise or Lapse of a Warrant

A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the exercise of a warrant for cash. Ordinary shares acquired pursuant to the
exercise of a warrant for cash generally will have a tax basis equal to the U.S. Holders tax basis in the warrant, increased by the amount paid to exercise the warrant. The holding period of such ordinary shares generally would begin on the
day after the date of exercise of the warrant. If a warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holders tax basis in the warrant.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that directly or indirectly holds stock in a foreign corporation classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States
federal income tax purposes. Under Proposed Regulations, a holder of an option (such as the warrants) to acquire stock of a PFIC is deemed to own the stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the option.

The Company will generally be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if, for any taxable year in which such holder held our
ordinary shares, either:



| |  |  | at least 75% of the Companys gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, capital gains and rents
derived other than in the active conduct of a rental business); or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | at least 50% of the average value of the assets held by the corporation during such taxable year produce, or are held for the production of, passive
income.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For purposes of determining whether the Company is a PFIC, the Company should be treated as earning
and owning its proportionate share of the income and assets, respectively, of any of its subsidiary corporations in which it owns at least 25% of the value of the subsidiarys stock.

Based on the market price of our ordinary shares, the value of our assets and the composition of our income and assets, we do not believe
we were a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended March 31, 2011. However, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and we cannot assure you that the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service will not take a contrary position.

We must make a separate determination after the close of each taxable year as to
whether we were a PFIC for that year. Because the value of our assets for purposes of the PFIC test will generally be determined by reference to the market price of our ordinary shares, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price
of the ordinary shares, which may fluctuate significantly.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold
ordinary shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to you for all succeeding years during which you hold ordinary shares, unless we cease to be a PFIC and you make a deemed sale election with respect to the
ordinary shares. If such election is made, you will be deemed to have sold the ordinary shares you hold at their fair market value and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described below. After the deemed sale
election, your ordinary shares with respect to which the deemed sale election was made would not be treated as shares in a PFIC unless we subsequently become a PFIC.



107

##### Table of Contents

For each taxable year that we are treated as a PFIC with respect to you, you will be subject
to special tax rules with respect to any excess distribution that you receive and any gain you realize from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the ordinary shares, unless you make a mark-to-market election as
discussed below. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the ordinary shares will be
treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:



| |  |  | the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the ordinary shares;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable years in your holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC,
will be treated as ordinary income; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount allocated to each other taxable year will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, for
each such year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The tax liability for amounts allocated to taxable years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses)
realized on the sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares cannot be treated as capital, even if you hold the ordinary shares as capital assets.

If we are treated as a PFIC with respect to you for any taxable year, to the extent any of our subsidiaries are also PFICs, you may be deemed to own shares in such lower-tier PFICs that are directly or
indirectly owned by us in that proportion which the value of the ordinary shares you own bears to the value of all of our ordinary shares, and you may be subject to the adverse tax consequences described above with respect to the shares of such
lower-tier PFICs that you would be deemed to own. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

A U.S. Holder of marketable stock (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election for such stock to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. If you make a mark-to-market
election for the ordinary shares, you will include in income for each year that we are treated as a PFIC with respect to you an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ordinary shares as of the close of your taxable year
over your adjusted basis in such ordinary shares. You will be allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the ordinary shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. However, deductions will be
allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the ordinary shares included in your income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in your income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other
disposition of the ordinary shares, will be treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment will also apply to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the ordinary shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or
disposition of the ordinary shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such ordinary shares. Your basis in the ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income
or loss amounts. The tax rules that apply to distributions by corporations which are not PFICs would apply to distributions by us, except that the lower capital gains rate applicable to qualified dividend income would not apply.

The mark-to-market election is available only for marketable stock, which is stock that is regularly traded on a qualified
exchange or other market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Our ordinary shares are listed on NYSE Amex Equities, which is a qualified exchange or other market for these purposes. Consequently, if the ordinary shares continue to be
listed on NYSE Amex Equities and are regularly traded, and you are a holder of ordinary shares, we expect that the mark-to-market election would be available to you if we were to become a PFIC. Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for
equity interests in any lower-tier PFICs that we own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to its indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. You should consult your tax advisors as to the availability and desirability of a mark-to-market election, as well as the impact of such election on interests in any lower-tier PFICs.

##### Table of Contents

Alternatively, if a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of shares in that
corporation may avoid taxation under the rules described above by making a qualified electing fund election to include in income its share of the corporations income on a current basis. However, you may make a qualified electing
fund election with respect to your ordinary shares only if we agree to furnish you annually with certain tax information, and we currently do not intend to prepare or provide such information.

If we are classified as a PFIC, you must file United States Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 for each tax year in which you make a
disposition of your ordinary shares, receive direct or indirect distributions on your ordinary shares or make a mark-to-market or deemed sale election mentioned above with respect to your ordinary shares. Legislation enacted on March 18, 2010
creates an additional annual filing requirement for tax years beginning on or after the date of enactment for U.S. persons who are shareholders of a PFIC. The legislation does not describe what information will be required to be included in the
additional annual filing, but rather grants the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury authority to decide what information must be included in such annual filing. If we are a PFIC for a given taxable year, then you should consult your tax advisor
concerning the tax consequences to you of such PFIC status, the availability and consequences of making a mark-to-market election mentioned above and your annual filing requirements.

Medicare Tax

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a
United States person that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the United States persons net investment
income for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the United States persons modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between US$125 thousand and
US$250 thousand, depending on the individuals circumstances). A United States persons net investment income will include its gross dividend income and its net gains from the disposition of stock, unless such dividends or net gains are
derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a United States person that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to
consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in our ordinary shares and warrants.

Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets

Individuals who own
specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010 will be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns.
Specified foreign financial assets include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions:
(i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties and (iii) interests in foreign entities. U.S. holders that are individuals
are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this legislation to their ownership of our ordinary shares and warrants.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

Non-U.S. Holders of Our Shares

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not
be subject to U.S. federal income tax on dividends paid in respect of the ordinary shares or on gains recognized in connection with the sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares of the Company, provided that such dividends or gains are
not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holders conduct of a United States trade or business.

If the Company
is treated as a U.S. corporation pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code, Non-U.S. Holders generally will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 30% on all dividends paid by the Company, unless a reduced rate of tax is available
under a tax treaty.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Dividend payments with respect to our ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our ordinary shares or
warrants may be subject to information reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer
identification number and makes any other required certification or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide such certification on Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.
U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your
U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information in
a timely manner.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup
withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding generally will be allowed as a credit against a
U.S. Holders or a Non-U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

PRC Taxation

PRC Taxation of Our
Overseas Shareholders

Under the new Enterprise Income Tax Law and the Implementation Regulations, PRC income tax at
the rate of 10% applies to dividends payable to investors that are non-resident enterprises (and that do not have an establishment or place of business in China, or that have such establishment or place of business but the relevant
income is not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business) to the extent such dividends are sourced within China and the enterprise that distributes dividends is considered a resident enterprise in China.
Therefore, if we are considered as a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders as well as gains realized by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may be regarded as China-sourced
income and as a result be subject to 10% PRC withholding tax. We intend to take the position that any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders will not be subject to a withholding tax in the PRC.

|Item 11. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
|-------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed
to various types of market risks in the normal course of business, including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. We have not in the past used derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Agricultural logistics Business

We conduct our agricultural logistics business primarily in Renminbi. In addition, our expenses are also primarily denominated in Renminbi, although a small portion of expenses are denominated in foreign
currencies, such as salaries in Hong Kong dollars paid to staff in Hong Kong, marketing expenses for promotion in Hong Kong, rental expenses for our office space in Hong Kong and other general office expenses. However, our reporting currency is the
Hong Kong dollar because the reporting currency of our major shareholders is the Hong Kong dollar. During fiscal year 2011, all of our revenues were denominated in Renminbi. During the same period, approximately 91.6% of our expenses (excluding tax)
were denominated in Renminbi and approximately 8.4% were denominated in Hong Kong dollars. Further, as of March 31, 2011, approximately 98.1% of our indebtedness (including trade payables, other payables and accruals) was denominated in
Renminbi and approximately 1.9% was denominated in Hong Kong dollars. We believe the impact of foreign currency risk is not material in our operations and we have not hedged our foreign currency exposures or entered into any other derivative
financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk due to fluctuations in interest rates on our debt and deposits. Our indebtedness consists of bank borrowings, another loan and a loan from a non-controlling interest.
As of March 31, 2011, we had HK$474.2 million in bank borrowings that bore interest at floating rates ranging from 6.1% to 7.9% per annum and fixed-rate other loan that bore interest at 13% per annum.



111



---

##### Table of Contents

Additional increases in interest rates could potentially result in an increase in our cost
of float rate borrowings, which could negatively affect our business and results of operations. The Peoples Bank of China, or the PBOC, regulates the interest rates of our Renminbi-denominated borrowings. As of March 31, 2011, the current
lending interest rate for one-to-three-year Renminbi loans was ranging from 6.1% to 7.9% per annum. The PBOC-published benchmark one-to-three-year lending rates in China as of March 31, 2011 were 6.1% per annum (2010: 5.4% per
annum). Based on our borrowings as of March 31, 2011, we estimate that interest expense relating to our borrowings payable would increase by HK$4.7 million on an annual basis in the event interest rates were to increase by 1.0% per annum
assuming our borrowings could be adjusted annually.

We closely monitor interest rate risk and consider using appropriate
financial instruments to hedge any exposure. However, we do not currently use any derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risk.

|-------- | ------------------------

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in our reports under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011, the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011 to ensure that information we are required to disclose under applicable laws and regulations is (1) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner; and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. No
change, apart from items discussed under Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting, was made in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resources constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the
control. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions.

Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting includes, among other things (i) maintaining records that are in reasonable detail and accurately and fairly reflect our
transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
(iii) providing reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with management authorization; and (iv) providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on our financial statements is prevented or detected on a timely basis.



113



---

##### Table of Contents

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year 2011 based on the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission using the criteria in Internal-Control Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31,
2011.

Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors
regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This Annual Report does not
include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to final rules of the SEC with Release Nos. 33-9142 and 34-62914 for non-accelerated filers.

No change was made in our internal control over financial reporting during fiscal year 2011 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

|Item 16G. | Corporate Governance.
|--------- | ---------------------

We
are incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands. Our ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE Amex. Section 110 of the NYSE Amex Company Guide permits the NYSE Amex to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in
relaxing certain NYSE Amex listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from NYSE Amex listing criteria based on these considerations. A company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local
counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law. A description of the significant ways in which our governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies pursuant to NYSE Amex standards is as follows:

We are a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Therefore, we are permitted to follow the
corporate governance practices in the British Virgin Islands in lieu of certain corporate governance requirements contained in the NYSE AMEX company guide since the laws of the British Virgin Islands do not require compliance.

Shareholder Approval Requirement: Sections 711-713 of the NYSE AMEX Company Guide
require shareholder approval prior to an issuance of securities in connection with: (i) the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company; (ii) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants;
(iii) a change of control; and (iv) private placements. Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not required to solicit shareholder approval of stock plans, including those in which our officers or directors may participate;
stock issuances that will result in a change in control; the issuance of our stock in related party transactions or other transactions in which we may issue 20% or more of our outstanding shares; or, below market issuances of 20% or more of our
outstanding shares to any person. However, it should be noted that under our Articles of Association, any Business Combination (as defined in our Articles of Association) with any Interested Shareholder (as defined in our Articles of Association)
within a period of three years following the date the shareholder became such Interested Shareholder as described in Article 71 of our Articles of Association which may include any transaction which results in the issuance by the Company of any
shares of the Company, the value of which is at least 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company to an Interested Shareholder or any affiliate or associate of the Interested Shareholder is
(unless it comes within the exemptions set out in Article 71 ) required to be approved by shareholders other than the Interested Shareholder and its affiliate or associate.

Board Independence Requirement: Section 802(a) of the NYSE AMEX Company Guide requires a board of directors with a majority of independent directors. Under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands, we are not required to maintain a board of directors with a majority of independent directors and do not intend to voluntarily do so at this time.

Shareholder Meeting Quorum Requirement: The NYSE Amex minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting is one-third of the outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, a company listed on
NYSE Amex is required to state its quorum requirement in its bylaws. Our quorum requirement is set forth in our Articles. A quorum for a meeting of members of the Company is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders holding not
less than one-third of the shares entitled to be voted at the meeting.

Proxy Delivery Requirement: NYSE Amex requires
the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings, and requires that these proxies shall be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to SEC proxy rules. We are a foreign private issuer, and our
equity securities are accordingly exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange Act. We solicit proxies in accordance with our Articles and the applicable rules and regulations in the British Virgin
Islands.

The foregoing is consistent with the laws, customs and practices in the British Virgin Islands.

In addition, we may from time-to-time seek relief from NYSE Amex corporate governance requirements on specific transactions under
Section 110 of the NYSE Amex Company Guide by providing written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by our home country law, in which case, the we shall make the disclosure of such
transactions available on the our website at www.chinametrorural.com. Information contained on our website is not part of this annual report.

statement of financial position and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Metro-Rural Holdings Limited
(the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group) at March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended March 31, 2011 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in note 2(b) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of International Accounting Standard
27 (revised), Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements on April 1, 2010.

|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of preparation and presentation

On July 28, 2010, the Company declared a dividend to its shareholders which was satisfied by way of distribution in specie of the entire equity interest in Man Sang International Limited
(MSIL), held by the Company, represented approximately 494 million ordinary shares in MSIL (the Distribution), which was completed in August 2010. Upon the completion of the Distribution, the Group no longer held
interest in MSIL and discontinued its jewelry and real estate businesses (the Discontinued Operations). In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, the Discontinued Operations were
shown as discontinued operations in the Groups consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, investment properties under construction, and leasehold land and buildings, which are stated at fair value as explained in the
accounting policies set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated.

The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRS, which are generally effective for accounting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2010. Details of major changes in accounting policies following
the adoption of these IFRSs are summarized in note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of
certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions
and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4.

Reorganization transaction

The Company was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Man Sang Holdings, Inc. (MSHI), a United States
domestic company incorporated in the State of Nevada whose common stocks were listed on the NYSE Amex. On August 25, 2009, at a general meeting, for the purpose of the redomicile of MSHI and its subsidiaries (the Group) from the
United States to the British Virgin Islands, the shareholders of MSHI resolved to carry out a group reorganization (the Reorganization) whereby, inter alia, MSHI was to be dissolved and liquidated and the Company was to become the new
holding company of the Group and to contractually assume all rights, title, obligations and liabilities of MSHI pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the agreement and plan of the dissolution and liquidation of MSHI. As a result of
the Reorganization, the Company succeeded MSHI as the holding company of the Group on August 25, 2009 with its ordinary shares being listed on the NYSE Amex as a foreign private issuer. From its inception in August 1995 through the effective
date of the Reorganization on August 25, 2009, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSHI.

Upon the effective
date of the Reorganization, the Company and its subsidiaries continued to conduct the business previously conducted by MSHI and its subsidiaries (including the Company). Although the dissolution and liquidation of MSHI would result in the cessation
of MSHI as the holding company of the Group, the dissolution and liquidation had no material impact on our financial condition or operating results, other than the costs incurred in connection with its dissolution and liquidation. As the Company
shall contractually assume all rights, title, obligations and liabilities of MSHI upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the agreement and plan of the dissolution and liquidation, there was a continuation of the risks and benefits to the
ultimate controlling owners that existed prior to the planned dissolution and liquidation of MSHI.

Merger with China Metro

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2010, by and among
the Company, China Metro-Rural Limited (China Metro) and Creative Gains Limited (Creative Gains) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), Creative Gains was merged with and into China Metro (the Merger).
Immediately after the Merger, Creative Gains ceased and China Metro became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On March 19, 2010, Merger Agreement was adopted and the Merger was subsequently consummated, each outstanding share of China
Metro as of the effective date of the Merger was converted automatically into the right to receive the number of the Companys ordinary shares equivalent to 57,443,238 divided by the number of China Metro ordinary shares outstanding immediately
prior to the Merger. As a result, based on outstanding 100 ordinary shares of China Metro immediately prior to the Merger, an aggregate of 57,443,238 ordinary shares of the Company was issued in connection with the Merger (with cash paid for
fractional shares), of which 37,338,104 ordinary shares were issued to Kind United Holdings Ltd., the controlling shareholder of China Metro under the control of Mr. Cheng Chung Hing (Mr. Cheng), or Kind United, and the remaining
20,105,130 ordinary shares of the Company were issued to the minority shareholders of China Metro.

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



In respect of the acquisition of the equity interest of China Metro controlled by
Mr. Cheng, since both the Company and China Metro were under common control of Mr. Cheng prior to and after the Merger, the Merger was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control in a manner similar to pooling of
interests. On this basis, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the Merger were restated to include, to the extent of equity interest of China Metro held by Mr. Cheng, the assets and liabilities and results
of operations of China Metro for those periods as if the Company had been the holding company of China Metro at the beginning of the financial period reported in the consolidated financial statements or when our Company and China Metro became under
common control by Mr. Cheng, whichever was later, and all assets and liabilities of China Metro were stated at historical carrying amounts. The acquisition by the Company of interest owned by all the shareholders of China Metro, including
Mr. Cheng, was treated as an equity transaction at the completion date of the Merger.

(b) Basis of consolidation

Business combinations (other than for combining entities under common control) are accounted for by applying the
purchase method. This involves the fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiaries, at the acquisition date, regardless of whether or not they were recorded in the financial statements of
the subsidiary prior to acquisition. On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statements of financial position at their fair values, which are also used as the bases for subsequent
measurement in accordance with the Groups accounting policies.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to March 31 each year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its
activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income
statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposals, as appropriate.

Where necessary,
adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Groups equity therein. Non-controlling interests in the net assets consist of the amount of
those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interests share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interest in excess of the non-controlling
interests share of interest in the subsidiarys equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the non-controlling interest has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover
the losses.

The Group has changed its accounting policy for transactions with non-controlling interests and the accounting
for loss of control or significant influence from April 1, 2010 when revised IAS27, Consolidated and separate financial statements, became effective. The revision to IAS 27 contained consequential amendments to IAS 28,
Investments in associates, and IAS 31, Interests in joint ventures. The Group has applied the new policy as stated in the following paragraphs prospectively to transactions occurring on or after April 1, 2010. As a
consequence, no adjustments were necessary to any of the amounts previously recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interest as transactions with equity
owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interest, the differences between any consideration paid and the revenant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on
disposals to non-controlling interest are also recorded in equity.

When the Group ceases to have control or significant
influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the
retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities. This may mean that the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified
to profit or loss where appropriate.

(c) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity, in which the Company, directly or indirectly, has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so
as to obtain benefits from its activities. In relation to the Companys subsidiary, Man Sang International Limited (MSIL), certain shareholders of MSIL, prior to the occurrence of the Distribution, had assigned their voting rights
to the Company giving the Company more than 50 percent of the voting rights. Consequently, the Company had the power to control MSIL. Such assignment of voting rights by these shareholders was cancelled as a result of the Distribution.

Investments in subsidiaries are included in the Companys statements of financial position at cost less impairment losses. The
carrying amount of investment is reduced to its recoverable amount on an individual basis.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the
Groups interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the relevant business at the date of acquisition. Such goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. As at
March 31, 2011, the Group did not have any goodwill.

(e) Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint
venture.

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these
consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale (in which case it is accounted for under IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued
operations). Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost as adjusted for post acquisition changes in the Groups share of the net assets of the associates,
less any identified impairment loss. When the Groups share of loss of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Groups net investment in the
associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liability is recognized only to the extent that if the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made
payments on behalf of that associate.

(f) Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Group if:



| | (a) | the party, directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Group; (ii) has an
interest in the Group that gives it significant influence over the Group; or (iii) has joint control over the Group;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or any of its holding companies;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (a) or (b);
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly-controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly
or indirectly, any individual referred to in (b) or (c); or
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Group, or of any entity that is a related party of the Group.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) Investment properties

Investment properties are land and /or buildings that are held to earn rental income and / or for capital appreciation, which include property interest held under operating lease carries at fair value.

Investment properties are stated at fair value at the statements of financial position date. Any gain or loss arising from a
change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated income statement. An investment property is derecognized upon disposals or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its
disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated income statement in the year in which the item is
derecognized.

Subsequent expenditure is charged to the assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they
are incurred.

Properties under construction or development for future use as investment properties are classified as
investment properties under construction. Such properties under construction are measured initially at cost, including transaction cost, and stated at fair value, subsequent to initial recognition, at the end of each reporting period when fair value
can be determined reliably. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of completed investment properties and investment properties under construction are included in the consolidated income statement in the year in which they
arise.

##### Table of Contents

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The fair values of investment properties are determined by management based in part on
valuation by independent valuers who hold recognized professional qualifications and have recent experiences in the locations and category of properties being valued. Fair value is determined based on market value, being the estimated amount for
which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

If an investment property and/or an investment properties under construction become owner-occupied, they are reclassified as
property, plant and equipment under leasehold land and building, or if become intended for sale are transferred to properties under development or completed properties held for sales, and their fair value at the date of reclassification becomes
their deemed cost for accounting purposes.

(h) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, other than leasehold land and buildings, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly
attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated income statement during the year in which they are incurred.

The leasehold land and buildings are stated in the consolidated statements of financial position at their revalued amount, being the fair
value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined
using fair values at the statements of financial position date. Any revaluation increase is credited to the property revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized as an
expense, in which case the increase is credited to the consolidated income statement to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A decrease in the net carrying amount arising on revaluation of an asset is dealt with as an expense to the extent
that it exceeds the balance, if any, on the property revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued asset, the attributable revaluation surplus is transferred to retained
profits.

If there is no market-based evidence of fair value because of the specialized nature of the item of leasehold land
and buildings and the item is rarely sold, except as part of a continuing business, the Group may estimate fair value using an income or a depreciated replacement cost approach.

Leasehold land and buildings transferred from investment properties are stated at deemed cost equal to its fair value at the date of
change in use and is continued to account for as if it was an asset held under finance lease. The entire lease payment of leasehold land and buildings are included in the cost of land and buildings as a finance lease in property, plant and equipment
and stated at revalued amount.

Construction in progress, representing plant and machinery on which construction work
has not been completed and machinery pending installation, is stated at historical cost, which includes construction expenditures incurred, cost of machinery and other direct costs capitalized during the construction and installation period, less
accumulated impairment losses, if any. No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress until the construction is completed. On completion, the construction in progress is transferred to appropriate categories of property, plant
and equipment.

Leasehold land in Hong Kong classified as finance lease commences amortization from the time when the land
interest becomes available for its intended use. Leasehold land outside of Hong Kong is recognized in accordance with the Groups policies in note 2(k) to these consolidated financial statements. Amortization on leasehold land in Hong Kong
classified as finance lease and depreciation for property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over their
estimated useful lives, as follows:



|                                                         |  |                                                      
|-------------------------------------------------------- |  | -----------------------------------------------------
|Leasehold land classified as finance lease and buildings |  | Over the shorter of the term of the lease or 50 years
|Leasehold improvements                                   |  | 33%                                                  
|Plant and machinery                                      |  | 10%                                                  
|Furniture, fixtures and equipment                        |  | 20% - 33%                                            
|Motor vehicles                                           |  | 10% - 25%                                            

An assets carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed at each statements of financial position date.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposals or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from
the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated income statement in the year
in which the item is derecognized.

(i) Properties under development

Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as held-for-sales is classified as properties under development and stated
at lower of costs and net realizable value until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassified as completed properties held for sale. Costs comprise construction costs, borrowing costs capitalized, amortization of land
use rights and professional fees incurred during the development period. If properties under construction become owner-occupied, they are reclassified as property, plant and equipment under leasehold land and building and stated at cost less any
identified impairment losses for accounting purposes.

Properties under development are classified as current assets when the
construction of the relevant properties commences unless the construction period of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond normal operating cycle.

(j) Completed properties held for sale

Completed properties remaining unsold at the end of the year are stated at the lower of cost, deemed cost and net realizable value.

Cost comprises development costs attributable to the unsold properties.



F-20

##### Table of Contents

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Net realizable value is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of properties sold
in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses, or by management estimates based on prevailing marketing conditions.

If an investment properties and/or investment properties under constructions become property held for sale, they are reclassified as completed properties held for sales and their fair value at the date of
reclassification becomes their deemed cost for accounting purpose.

(k) Land use rights

Land use rights include up-front payments to acquire land and payments for lease of properties held under operating leases. Land use
rights are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Land use rights are reclassified as properties under developments or investment properties under developments when the corresponding properties are
ready to be constructed.

(l) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the statements of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities
(other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs
directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Groups financial assets are classified into one
of the two categories, including financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that
discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset,
or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at FVTPL have two subcategories, including financial assets held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL on initial
recognition. At each statements of financial position date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly in the consolidated income statement in the period in
which they arise. Fair value gain or loss does not include any dividend or interest earned on these financial assets. Dividend and interest income is recognized in accordance with the Groups policies in note 2(r) to these consolidated
financial statements. The Groups financial assets at FVTPL were solely attributable to the Discontinued Operations, and as a result of the Distribution, the Group did not have any financial assets at FVTPL as at March 31, 2011.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each statement of financial position date subsequent to initial
recognition, loans and receivables (including trade receivables, loan receivables, and other receivables) are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

Impairment of financial assets

At each statements of financial position date, financial assets other than those carried at fair value through profit or loss are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence of
impairment.

Objective evidence of impairment of individual financial assets includes observable data that comes to the
attention of the Group about one or more of the following loss events:



| |  |  | significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it becomes probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that
the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of
trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is
written off against the allowance account. If, in subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement to the extent that it does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset exceeding what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized at the
date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognized in consolidated income statement of the period in which the reversal occurs.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any
contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Groups financial liabilities are generally classified into financial liabilities at FVTPL and other financial liabilities.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate
that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including bank
and other borrowings, trade payables and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded
at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it
incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract issued by the Group and not designated as at fair value through profit or loss is
recognized initially at its fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures the financial guarantee contract at the higher of:
(i) the amount determined in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets; and (ii) the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance
with IAS 18 Revenue. As at March 31, 2011, the Group did not have any financial guarantee contracts.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognizing of a financial asset, the difference between the assets carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been
recognized directly in equity is recognized in the consolidated income statement. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and
also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the
obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

(m) Impairment of investments in subsidiaries, associates and non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable
cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries or associates is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the
dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary or associate in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated
financial statements of the investees net assets including goodwill.

(n) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost, which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable,
cost of conversion and other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs to sell.

(o) Construction
contract

Contract costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract
costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable.

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably and
it is probable that the contract will be profitable, contract revenue is recognized over the period of the contract. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense
immediately.

Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that
may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.

The Group uses the
percentage-of-completion method to determine the appropriate amount to recognize in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred up to the end of the reporting period as a percentage of
total estimated costs for each contract. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. They are presented as inventories, prepayments or other
assets, depending on their nature.

The Group presents as an asset if the gross amount due from customers for contract work
for all contracts in progress for which costs incurred plus recognized profits (less recognized losses) exceed progress billings. Progress billings not yet paid by customers and retention are included within Construction contract.

The Group presents as a liability the gross amount due to customers for contract work for all contracts in progress for which
progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognized profit (less recognized losses).

During the year ended March 31,
2011, the construction contract of the Group was fully completed and there was no construction contract that was remained outstanding as at March 31, 2011.

(p) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term,
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Restricted and pledged bank deposits are not included as cash and cash equivalents.

(q) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be
required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the directors best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the statements of financial position date, and are discounted to present value where the effect
is material.

(r) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales of properties

Revenue from sales of properties is
recognized when the risks and rewards related to the properties are transferred to purchasers, which is when the construction of relevant properties has been completed, title to the properties has been delivered to the purchasers and collectability
of related receivables is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized only to the extent collectability of such receivable is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sales of properties with operating leaseback

As part of the
Groups overall strategy to develop property projects with specific themes, in relation to sales of certain properties, immediately following sale of such properties, the Group leases back the properties from purchasers for periods ranging from
3 to 5 years either for an insignificant amount of rental payments or free of charge. As lease back of the properties for an insignificant amount of rental payments or free of charge was arranged as part of the sale of these properties, the Group
determined the fair value of lease payments it would ordinarily make to lease such properties from other independent owners based on factors such as expected occupancy rates, rental yields etc. and included it as part of the sales consideration
received with a corresponding debit to prepaid operating lease payments. Since the fair value of lease payments the Group would ordinarily make to lease such properties was estimated to be insignificant, the Group did not separately recognize it as
part of the sales consideration received with a corresponding debit to prepaid operating lease payments. Such transactions are accounted for as a sale and operating leaseback given that as part of the sale transaction, the Group disposes of
substantially all risks and rewards of owning the property. In concluding that substantially all risks and rewards of owning the property have been transferred, the Group considers the short period of the lease and the expected future rentals it
could earn by letting out these properties, which are insignificant relative to the value of the property.

The leaseback is
considered as an operating lease due to (i) the ownership of the property will not transfer back to the Group by the end of the lease term; (ii) the Group does not have the option to purchase the property at the end of the lease term;
(iii) the lease term is not the major part of the economic life of the property; (iv) at the inception of the lease, the fair value of the property is significantly higher than the present value of the minimum lease payments; and
(v) any gains or losses from the fluctuation in the fair value of the property rest to purchasers. In addition, operating leases rentals paid to purchasers are recorded as an expense on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



To promote sales of certain properties, the Group, through its Discontinued Operations,
conducted a promotional sale of these properties during fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 prior to the Distribution wherein it sold such properties at special rates to selected purchasers which was
different from the normal sales of properties as discussed above where no special rates were given. Sales consideration for these properties included an explicitly agreed transaction price to be settled in cash plus a lease back of these properties
to the Group free of charge for 5 years. As lease back of the properties free of charge was arranged as part of the sale of these properties as well as the sales of these properties were at special rates, the Group determined the fair value of lease
payments it would ordinarily make to lease such properties from other independent owners based on factors such as expected occupancy rates, rental yields etc. and included it as part of the sales consideration received with a corresponding debit to
prepaid operating lease payments. The leaseback is considered as an operating lease for the same reasons as explained above. The prepaid operating lease payments will be amortized and recognized as operating leases expense on a straight line basis
over the 5 year period of the lease.

Revenue from sales of goods

Sale of goods is recognized on transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are
delivered to customers and title has passed assuming amounts owned are considered collectible. The Groups sale of goods were solely attributable to the Discontinued Operations, and as a result of the Distribution, the Group no longer made any
sale of goods.

Revenue from leasing of investment properties

Rental income under operating leases is recognized in the period in which the properties are let out and on a straight-line basis over the
term of the relevant lease, including the free rent periods.

Revenue from property management services

Revenue from property management service is recognized when services are rendered.

Others

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest
rate applicable, which is the rate that discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets net carrying amount.

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the rights to receive payments have been established.

(s) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment, has been identified as the
executive board of directors that make strategic decision.

(t) Share-based payments

The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as
consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the
fair value of the options granted. In determining the fair value of the options granted:



| |  |  | market performance conditions are taken into considerations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the impact of any service and non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining employee of the entity over
a specified time period) is excluded; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | excluding the impact of any non-vesting conditions.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all
of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact of
the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

The cash subscribed for the shares issued when the options are exercised is credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium,
net of any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue.

At the time when the share options are exercised,
the amount previously recognized in share option reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited or are not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognized in share option reserve will be transferred
to retained profits.

(u) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Groups entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional
currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the Companys functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

In preparing the financial statements of each
individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are translated and recorded in the respective entitys functional currency at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the
dates of the transactions. At each statements of financial position date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the statements of financial position date. Non-monetary items carried at fair
value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.



F-27

##### Table of Contents

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation
of monetary items, are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Companys net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such
exchange differences are recognized in equity in the consolidated financial statements. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for
differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in equity, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in equity.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Groups foreign operations
are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the statements of financial position date, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the
year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized as a separate component of equity (the
translation reserve). Such exchange differences are recognized in the consolidated income statement in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired arising on an acquisition of a foreign operation on or after January 1, 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of that foreign
operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the statements of financial position date. Exchange differences so arising are recognized in the translation reserve.

(v) Taxation

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax.

Current income tax
is calculated based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are not taxable or deductible. Current income tax payable is
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statements of financial position date.

Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements
and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets
are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill
or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except
where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statements of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.



F-28

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period
when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statements of financial position date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the consolidated income
statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

(w) Operating leases

Leases where substantially all the rewards and
risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are recognized as expense and revenue on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

(x) Retirement benefits scheme

Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave as a
result of services rendered by employees up to the statement of financial position date.

Employee entitlements to sick leave
and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave.

In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the
PRC based employees of the Companys subsidiaries in the PRC participate in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans organized by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which the Companys
subsidiaries in the PRC and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees salaries, which ranging from 10% to 15% of the average basic salary of the PRC based
employee.

The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and
future retired PRC based employees payable under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligation for the payment of retirement and other post retirement benefits of its employees. The assets of
these plans are held separately from those of the Group in independently administrated funds managed by the PRC government.

The Group also participates in a pension scheme under the rules and regulations of the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme Ordinance
(MPF Scheme), which is a defined contribution retirement scheme for all employees in Hong Kong. The contributions to the MPF Scheme are based on minimum statutory contribution requirement of 5% of eligible employees relevant
aggregate income. The assets of this pension scheme are held separately from those of the Group in independently administered funds.

The Groups contributions to the defined contribution retirement schemes are expensed as incurred.

(y) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, including properties under
development and investment properties under construction, are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalization of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income
earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in the consolidated income statement
in the period in which they are incurred.

(z) Government grants

Grants from government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the
Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match with the related costs. If the grants do not relate to any specific expenditure incurred by the Group, they are reported
separately as other operating income. If the grants subsidize an expense incurred by the Group, they are deducted in reporting the related expenses. Grants related to assets are presented as a deduction from the cost of the relevant asset.

(aa) Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Groups business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a
view to resale, that has been disposed of, has been abandoned or that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners. Discontinued operations are presented in the income statement (including comparative) as a
separate amount, comprising the total of the post tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations for the period together with any post-tax gain or loss recognized on the measure to fair value less costs to sell, or on disposal of the
assets/disposal groups constituting discontinued operations. When the Group discontinues its subsidiary, the Group is to account for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income, including exchange difference on translation of foreign
operations, in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income that relates
to an asset or a liability, which when disposed, the Group reclassifies such accumulated gains or losses related to that asset or liability from equity to consolidated income statement, as a reclassification adjustment, when it loses control of the
subsidiary. In presenting interest income and interest expense and various expenses relating to discontinued operations, account is taken of the continuance or otherwise of these income statement items post disposal of the discontinued operations.
In the statement of financial position, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are shown within the caption Disposal groups and non-current assets/(liabilities) held for sale separated from other assets and liabilities.

A non-current asset or a disposal group comprising assets and liabilities is classified as held for sale or held for
distribution to owners if it is expected that its carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use, it is available for immediate sale and sale is highly probably within one year. For the sale to be
highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



On initial classification as held for sale or held for distribution to owners,
non-current assets and disposal groups are measured at the lower of previous carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell with any adjustments taken to the income statement. The same applies to gains and losses on subsequent remeasurement.
However, financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 continue to be measured in accordance with that standard. No reclassifications are made in respect of prior period.

Impairment losses subsequent to classification of assets as held for sale or held for distribution to owners are recognized in the income statement. Increase in fair value less costs to sell of assets
that have been classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners are recognized in the income statement to the extent that the increase is not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognized in respect of asset. Assets
are not depreciated while they are classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners.

Note 3Application of New and
Revised International Financial Reporting Standards

(a) Adoption of new or revised IFRS

In the current year, the Group has adopted the following new or revised IFRS, which are relevant to its operations:



| |  |  | IFRS 3 (revised), Business Combinations, and consequential amendments to IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements, IAS 28, Investments in Associates, and IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, are effective prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period beginning on or after July 1, 2009.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The revised standard continues to apply the
acquisition method to business combinations but with some significant changes compared with IFRS 3. For example, all payments to purchase a business are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt
subsequently re-measured through the statement of comprehensive income. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests
proportionate share of the acquirees net assets. All acquisition-related costs are expensed. IFRS 3 (revised) has had no significant impact on the current period.



| |  |  | IFRS 5 (amendment), Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The amendment clarifies that IFRS 5 specifies the
disclosures required in respect of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale or discontinued operations. It also clarifies that the general requirements of IAS 1 still apply, in particular paragraph 15 (to achieve a fair
presentation) and paragraph 125 (sources of estimation uncertainty) of IAS 1. IFRS 5 (amendment) has had no significant impact on the current period.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | IAS 1 (amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendment clarifies that the potential settlement of a liability by the issue
of equity is not relevant to its classification as current or non-current. By amending the definition of current liability, the amendment permits a liability to be classified as non-current (provided that the entity has an unconditional right to
defer settlement by transfer of cash or other assets for at least 12 months after the accounting period) notwithstanding the fact that the entity could be required by the counterparty to settle in shares at any time. IAS 1 (amendment) has had no
significant impact on the current period.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



| |  |  | IAS 27 (revised), Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The standard requires the effects of all transactions with
non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest
in the entity is re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Details of transactions with non-controlling interests are further set out in note 38 to the consolidated financial statements.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | IAS 28 (amendment), Investments in Associates. The amendment includes the required disclosures when investments in associates are accounted
for at fair value through profit or loss. The amendment also clarifies the recognition and reversal of impairment of investments in associates. IAS 28 (amendment) has had no significant impact on the current period.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | IAS 36 (amendment), Impairment of Assets. The amendment clarifies that the largest cash-generating unit (or group of units) to which
goodwill should be allocated for the purposes of impairment testing is an operating segment, as defined by paragraph 5 of IFRS 8, Operating Segments (that is, before the aggregation of segments with similar economic characteristics. IAS
36 (amendment) has had no significant impact on the current impact.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) New or revised standards,
interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective

The following new or revised
standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published by the IASB and are relevant to the Groups operations. They are not yet effective for accounting periods beginning on April 1, 2010 and have not been
early adopted by the Group.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The Group has already commenced an assessment of the related impact of adopting the
above new or revised standards, interpretations and amendments to standards, but it is not yet in a position to state whether they will have a significant impact on its results of operations and financial position. The Group plans to adopt these new
or revised standards, interpretation and amendments to standards when they become effective.

Note 4Critical Accounting Estimates and
Judgment

In the application of the Groups accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors of the
Company are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and
other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if
the revision affects both current and future periods.

In the process of applying the Groups accounting policies,
management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Groups
management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar
nature and functions. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitor actions in response to market conditions. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated
lives, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

Classification between investment properties and owner-occupied properties

The Group determines whether a property qualifies as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgment.
Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, the Group considers whether a property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by the Group.

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portions that is held for use in
the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), the Group accounts for these portions separately. If the portions could not be
sold separately, the property is an investment property.

Judgment is made on an individual property basis to determine
whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as an investment property.

Classification between investment properties and properties held for sale

The Group develops properties held for sale and properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Judgment
is made by management on determining whether a property is designated as an investment property or a property held for sale. The Group considers its intention for holding the properties at the development stage of the related properties. During the
course of construction, the related properties under construction are accounted for as properties under development if the properties are intended for sale after its completion, whereas, the properties are accounted for as investment properties
under construction if the properties are intended to be held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Upon completion of the properties, the properties held for sale are transferred to completed properties held for sale and are stated at the
lower of cost and net realizable value, while the properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation are transferred to completed investment properties. Investment properties, both under construction and completed, are stated at fair
value (where fair value can be reliably measured) and subject to revaluation at the end of each reporting period.

Fair
value of leasehold land and buildings and investment properties

The leasehold land and buildings and investment properties
of the Group were stated at fair value in accordance with the Groups accounting policies stated in note 2(h) and 2(g) respectively. The fair value of investment properties, investment properties under development, and leasehold land and
buildings are determined by management based in part on valuation by independent professional valuers, and the fair values of investment properties, investment properties under development and leasehold land and buildings are set out in notes 18, 19
and 20 to the consolidated financial statements respectively. Such valuations were based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from actual results.

In making the judgment, reasonable consideration has been given to the underlying assumptions based on market conditions existing at the
statements of financial position date. These estimates are regularly compared to actual market data and actual transactions in the market.

Impairment of trade receivables

The Groups management determines the
provision for impairment of trade receivables on a regular basis. This estimate is based on the credit history of its customers and prevailing market conditions. Management reassesses the provision for impairment of trade receivables at the
statements of financial position date. In respect of the trade receivables past due over 60 days but not impaired, majority of which are related to sales of properties in mainland China, they are due to the reason that longer time is normally
required for customers to apply for mortgages in the location at which the Companys subsidiaries are operated. As most of these mortgages were approved by banks and balances settled subsequent to the date of statement of financial position and
additional resources have been invested to monitor the progress of mortgage application, management considered that these receivables are fully recoverable.

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Net realizable value of inventories

Net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion
and selling expenses. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of competitors actions in response to severe
industry cycles. Management reassesses these estimations at the statements of financial position date to ensure inventories are shown at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Groups inventories were solely attributable to the
Discontinued Operations, and as a result of the Distribution, the Group no longer carried any inventories nor its related provision/write-back of provision in its consolidated statement of financial position.

Recoverability of completed properties held for sale and properties under development

Management performs a regular review on the carrying amounts of completed properties held for sale and properties under development. Based
on managements review, write-down of completed properties held for sale and properties under development will be made when the estimated net realizable value has declined below the carrying amount. In determining the net realizable value of
completed properties held for sale and properties under development, management refers to the latest economic measures introduced by the local government, recent global and local economic developments, recent sales transactions of the Group and
other similar properties in the surrounding areas, marketability of the Groups existing properties, market survey reports available from independent property valuers, internally available information and managements expectation on future
sales.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Group conducts impairment reviews of assets when events of changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable or annually in accordance with relevant accounting
standards. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset is lower than the greater of its net selling price or the value in use. In determining the value in use, management assesses the present value of the estimated future
cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Estimates and judgments are applied in determining these future cash flows and the discount rate.

Recognition of construction contract

Profit on individual contracts is taken only when their outcome can be foreseen with reasonable certainty based on the lower of the percentage margin earned to date and that prudently forecast at
completion, taking into account agreed variations in contract work and incentive payment claims. Full provision is made for all known or expected losses on individual contracts taking into account anticipated future claims income, immediately when
such losses are foreseen.

PRC land appreciation taxes

The Group is subject to land appreciation taxes in the PRC. The provision of land appreciation taxes is based on managements best
estimates according to the understanding of the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations. The actual land appreciation tax liabilities are subject to the determination by the tax authorities upon the completion of the
property development projects. The Group has not finalized its land appreciation tax calculations and payments with the tax authorities for certain property development projects. The final outcome might be different from the amounts that were
initially recorded, and any differences will impact the land appreciation tax expenses and the related provision in the period in which the differences realize. Further details are set out in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Current and deferred income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in the PRC. Significant judgment is required in determining the amount of the provision for taxation and the timing of payment of the related taxations. There are many
transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences
will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax assets
relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized as management considers it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. Where the expectation
is different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the recognition of deferred assets and income tax expense in the periods in which such estimate is changed.

Recognition and allocation of construction cost on properties under development

Development costs of properties are recorded as properties under development during construction stage and will be transferred to
completed properties held for sale upon completion. Apportionment of these costs will be recognized in the consolidated income statements upon the recognition of the sale of the properties. Before the final settlement of the development costs and
other costs relating to the sale of the properties, these costs are accrued by the Group based on managements best estimate.

When developing properties, the Group may divide the development projects into phases. Specific costs directly related to the development of a phase are recorded as the cost of such phase. Costs that are
common to phases are allocated to individual phases based on the estimated saleable area of the entire project. Where the final settlement of costs and the related cost allocation is different from the initial estimates, any increase or decrease in
the development costs and other costs would affect the profit or loss in future years. Further details are set out in note 27 to the consolidated financial statements.

Promotional sale of certain properties

As discussed in note 2(r), the Group, through the Discontinued Operations, conducted a promotional sale of certain properties during the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 prior to the Distribution. Sales consideration for these properties included an explicitly agreed transaction price to be settled in cash plus a lease back of these properties to the Group free of charge. Of the
explicitly agreed transaction price, the Group received a down-payment of 24% in cash amounting to HK$4,147,000 (2010: HK$18,459,000) upon transfer of title to the properties with the remainder HK$13,131,000 (2010: HK$71,167,000) being receivable in
future. As all the revenue recognition criteria had been met, the Groups Discontinued Operations recorded this as a revenue transaction. Having considered a number of factors such as the overall state of the property market, the prospects of
the properties and profile of individual buyers, management determined that the collectability of the receivable was not reasonably assured at the date of sale. Accordingly, revenue was recorded only to the extent of cash received during the year
ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended March 31, 2011 prior to the Distribution. As these transactions were solely attributable to the Discontinued Operations, subsequent to the Distribution, the Group no longer carries out these transactions.

Note 5Capital Risk Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the bank borrowings
and equity balances.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt and equity attributable to equity holders of the
Company, comprising issued share capital, share premium, retained earnings and other reserves.

The management of the Group
reviews the capital structure periodically. As a part of this review, the management of the Group considers costs of capital, its bank covenant obligations and the risks associated with issued share capital and will balance its overall capital
structure through the drawdown of bank borrowings, the repayment of existing bank borrowings or the adjustment of dividends paid to equity holders.

The management of the Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of the net debt. Net debt is set out as follows:



|                                    |  |             |          |   |             |  |          |

Note 6Financial Risk Management

The Groups major financial instruments include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, trade and other receivables, restricted and pledged bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents,
trade and other payables, bank and other borrowings, loan from a non-controlling interest and amount due to an associate. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial
instruments, include market risk (currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk, and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The Group does not have written risk management policies and
guidelines. However, the board of directors meets periodically to analyze and formulate measures to manage the Groups exposure to different risks arising from the use of financial instruments. Generally, the Group employs conservative
strategies regarding its risk management. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

CHINA METRO-RURAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



(a) Market risk

(i) Currency risk

As at March 31, 2010, the Discontinued Operations of the Groups foreign currency assets, liabilities and transactions were principally denominated in Chinese Renminbi (RMB) and
United States Dollars (US$). Theses currencies were not the functional currencies of the Group entities from the Discontinued Operations to which these balances relate. The Groups Discontinued Operations were exposed to foreign
currency risk arising from the movements in the exchange rates of these different currencies against the functional currency of the Discontinued Operations of the Group entities. The Discontinued Operations managed its foreign exchange risks by
performing regular reviews and arranges hedges against foreign exchange exposures when considered necessary. Most of the business transactions from the Discontinued Operations are denominated in Hong Kong dollars (HK$), US$ and RMB.

The Groups Discontinued Operations were exposed to the fluctuation on exchange rates of RMB. At March 31, 2010, if
HK$ had weakened/strengthened by 1% against RMB with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year attributable to the Discontinued Operations would have been HK$3,153,000 lower/higher, mainly as a result of foreign exchange
losses/gains on translation of RMB-denominated receivables, payables and bank borrowings. As a result of the Distribution, the Groups assets, liabilities and transactions are principally denominated in RMB and HK$, which are also the
functional currency of the Group entities to which these balances relate. Accordingly, risk that the Group is subject to foreign currency risk at March 31, 2011 is minimal.

The Group considers there was no significant exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations between US$ and HK$ as long as the Hong Kong
dollars remain pegged with US dollars.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Groups exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to variable-rate bank borrowings of HK$474,158,000 (2010:
HK$550,191,000) and fixed-rate other borrowing of HK$60,000,000 (2010: HK$56,500,000) which were dominated in RMB, except for an other loan of HK$60,000,000 which is denominated in Hong Kong Dollar. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose
the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rate expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. It is the Groups policy to keep the majority of borrowings
at floating interest rate so as to minimize the fair value interest rate risk.

The tenure of the fixed-rate other borrowing
was long term, i.e. four years. The management considers the fair value interest rate risk was insignificant. The liquidity risk on repayment of the other borrowing was detailed in note 6(c).

At March 31, 2011, if interest rates had been 0.25% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest payment on
floating rate borrowings would have been approximately HK$1,185,000 (2010: HK$1,375,000) higher/lower. Post-tax profit for the year would have been approximately HK$111,000 (2010: HK$101,000) lower/higher mainly as a result of an
increase/decrease in the fair value of fixed rate borrowings. Majority of the interest expenses would be capitalized as a result of such interest expenses directly attributable to the property construction. The management does not anticipate any
significant impact on profit or loss of the Group resulting from changes in interest rate on floating rate borrowings.

(iii) Price risk

The Groups financial assets at fair value through profit or loss represented investments in listed equity securities and were
measured at fair value at each statements of financial position date. Therefore, the Group was exposed to equity securities price risk. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a diversified portfolio of investments with different
characteristic.

If the price of the respective equity instruments had been 10% higher/lower, profit for the year ended
March 31, 2010 would have increased/decreased by approximately HK$4,108,000. The Groups financial assets at fair value through profit or loss were solely attributable to the Groups Discontinued Operations. As a result of the
Distribution, the Group no longer has investment in listed equity securities.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk mainly arises from trade and other receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, pledged bank deposits
and cash and cash equivalents.

In respect of pledged bank deposits and cash and cash equivalents, the Group will place cash
in banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Most of the
Groups customers do not have independent rating. Before accepting certain new customers, where available at reasonable cost, the Group obtains credit reports from commercial information provider to assess the potential customers credit
and defines credit limits by customer. Credit limits of customers are reviewed periodically. In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Group has established credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure
that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. For the trade receivables arising from sales of properties, the Group managed the credit risk by fully receiving cash or properly arranging the purchasers mortgage loans financing
procedures unless strong credit records of the customers could be established. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to purchasers with an appropriate financial strength and appropriate percentage of down payments. It also
has other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews regularly the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables to ensure that adequate impairment provisions are
made for irrecoverable amounts. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers.

For certain trade receivables in connection with sales of properties, the Group has the right to repossess the properties when the repayments of trade receivables in respect of properties sales are in
default. The arrangement has mitigated the credit risk for the customers which cannot be assessed through our past experience and other factors to prove their credit standing.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group monitors and maintains a level of cash
and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Groups operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilization of bank and other borrowings and ensures compliance with
loan covenants.

|* | Bank loans with loan agreements that contain a repayment on demand clause are classified as current liabilities.
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The table that follows summarizes the maturity analysis of a term loan with a repayment on demand clause based on agreed scheduled
repayments set out in the loan agreement. The amounts include interest payments computed using contractual rates. As a result, these amounts were greater than the amounts disclosed in the on demand time band in the maturity analysis
contained in note 33 to the consolidated financial statements. Taking into account the Groups financial position, the directors do not consider that it is probable that the bank will exercise its discretion to demand immediate repayment. The
directors believe that such term loans will be repaid in accordance with the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are equity securities that
were traded in an active market. Closing stock price is readily available from active market and was used as being representative of fair value. As at March 31, 2010, the Group classified these financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss of HK$49,194,000 as level 1 input for the purpose of measuring fair value. As these financial assets were solely attributable to the Discontinued Operations and subsequent to the Distribution, the Group no longer has this type of financial
assets carried on its consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2011.

Note 7Revenue

Revenue represents (i) the amounts received and receivable from customers in respect of goods sold, less returns and allowances,
(ii) the proceeds from the sale of properties during the year and (iii) the amounts received and receivable in respect of leasing and property management fees of investment properties.

The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the adjusted net profit attributable to
equity holders for the year, which is derived by net profit attributable to equity holders deducting the profit shared by preferred shares, and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

The effect of dilutive share options is attributable to share options granted by MSIL. In the calculation of diluted earnings per share
attributable to ordinary shares, the Companys net profit is reduced by the difference between the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the subsidiary multiplied by the Companys holding in the subsidiarys shares.

management in part on valuation by independent firms of professional property valuers, on market value basis, at HK$96,170,000, which was solely attributable to the Discontinued Operations. The valuations were arrived at by reference to comparable
market transactions. The revaluation increase arising from revaluation of the leasehold land and buildings attributable to the Discontinued Operations amounted to HK$5,580,000 and has been credited to the other property revaluation reserve (2010:
Revaluation increase amounted to HK$27,912,000 and has been credited to the property revaluation reserve) in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 prior to the Distribution.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Certain properties of the Group regarded as operational are for continuing business,
such as sales center and showroom located at Tieling, Liaoning Province and were valued on the basis of depreciated replacement cost (DRC) at HK$66,894,000 (2010: HK$57,236,000) as there were no comparable market transaction for such
properties. Such valuation using DRC has no gain or loss charged to the equity or consolidated income statement for the year.

If the leasehold land and buildings had not been revalued, they would have been included in these consolidated financial statements at
historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses of HK$66,894,000 (March 31, 2010: HK$108,888,000).

Note:

|(i) | As explained in note 2(r) to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended March 31, 2010, the Group transferred the title of certain properties to
customers upon receipt of partial payments. Revenue was recognized up to the amounts received or of which such receivable is reasonably asserted. Enterprise income tax has been provided for based on the full contractual amount of the related sales
transactions and in accordance with relevant rules and regulations even though a part of the sales considerations has not been recorded as revenue. As such, a deferred income tax asset was arisen from the provision for such enterprise income tax.
This amount was solely attributable to the Discontinued Operations, and as a result of the Distribution, this amount was derecognized from the Groups consolidated statement of financial position during the current year.

|(ii) | These amounts were charged to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and presented net of charges in fair values of leasehold land and buildings.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As at March 31, 2011 and 2010, the deferred taxes recognized by the Group were expected to be recovered in
the period of beyond one year. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Group did not recognize deferred
income tax assets of HK$7,302,000 (March 31, 2010: HK$5,269,000) in respect of losses amounting to HK$34,765,000 (March 31, 2010: HK$29,352,000) that can be carried forward against future taxable income as future taxable profits of certain of the
Groups subsidiaries where those losses were incurred were not probable. Losses amounting to HK$16,348,000 (March 31, 2010: HK$24,341,000) can be carried forward indefinitely. Losses amounting to HK$18,417,000 expire by 2016 (March 31, 2010:
HK$5,011,000 expired by 2015).

At March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Group did not have any unrecognized deferred income tax
in respect of unrealized profit in inventories.

write-back of provision for impairment of inventories of HK$2,370,000). Such provision and reversal have been included in cost of sales in the financial peformance of the Discontinued Operations. The Groups inventories were solely attributable
to the Discontinued Operations, and as a result of the Distribution, the Group no longer carried any inventories nor its related provision/write-back of provision in its consolidated statement of financial position. The cost of inventories sold
attributable to the Discontinued Operations recognized in the consolidated income statements for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, and for the year ended March 31, 2011 prior to the Distribution were HK$181,861,000, HK$126,353,000
and HK$44,005,000.

Note:

The amount represented deposit paid for acquisition of land use right as was intended to develop properties for sales. This amount was solely
attributable to the Discontinued Operations, and as a result of the Distribution, this amount was derecognized from the Groups consolidated statement of financial position during the current year.

The Group grants an average credit period of 60 days to its customers. The carrying amounts of the trade and other receivables
approximate their fair values as these financial assets, which are measured at amortized cost, are expected to be paid within a short period of time, such that the impact of the time value of money is not significant.

At each statements of financial position date, the recoverability of the Groups trade receivables due from individual customers is
assessed based on the credit history of its customers, their financial conditions and current market conditions. Consequently, specific impairment provision is recognized.

The Group has provided fully for all receivables where recovery of the amounts is remote unless the Group
has determined that such balances are not recoverable, in which case the impairment loss is directly written off against the corresponding trade receivables. Based on past experience and the Groups assessment, the management believes that no
impairment provision is necessary in respect of the remaining balances as there had not been a significant change in credit quality of such receivables and the balances are considered fully recoverable.

Movements in the provision for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



As of March 31, 2011, trade receivables of HK$124,476,000 (2010: HK$78,666,000)
were past due but not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. Based on past experience, the mortgage applications by customers would take longer than normally required in the
location at which the Groups subsidiaries are operated and management believes that, despite longer time is required, no impairment provision is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit
quality of these receivables and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The interest-bearing bank borrowings, including the term loans repayable on demand, are
carried at amortized cost. None of the portion of term loan repayable after one year which contained a repayment on demand clause and that was classified as a current liability was expected to be settled within one year. During the current year, the
term loan which contained a repayment on demand clause was fully repaid by the Group.

The Groups bank and other
borrowings are repayable as follows (Note):

Note:

The amounts due are based on the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements and ignore the effect of any repayment on demand
clause.

Some of the banking facilities are subject to the fulfillment of covenants relating to certain of the Groups
statement of financial position ratios, as are commonly found in lending arrangements with financial institutions. If the Group was to breach the covenants the drawn down facilities would become repayable on demand. In addition, certain of the
Groups term loan agreements contain clauses which give the lender the right at its sole discretion to demand immediate repayment at any time irrespective of whether the Group has complied with the covenants and met the scheduled repayment
obligations.

The Group regularly monitors its compliance with these covenants, is up to date with the scheduled repayments of
the term loans and does not consider it probable that the banks will exercise their discretions to demand repayment for so long as the Group continues to meet these requirements. Further details of the Groups management of liquidity risk are
set out in note 6(c). As at March 31, 2011, none of the covenants relating to drawn down facilities had been breached (As at March 31, 2010: Nil).

The carrying amounts of bank borrowings approximate their fair values. All bank borrowings are denominated in RMB (March 31, 2010: All bank borrowings are denominated in RMB) and are carried at variable
interest rates ranged from approximately 6.1% to 7.9% per annum (March 31, 2010: 4.8% to 6.1% per annum). The bank borrowings are secured by the assets of the Group (Note 36).

The carrying amounts of other borrowings approximate their fair values. All other borrowings are denominated in HKD and are carried at
interest rate of approximately 13% per annum. The other borrowings are unsecured.

As at March 31, 2010, a bank loan
with carrying amount of approximately HK$85,179,000 was guaranteed by a director and a shareholder up to a maximum amount of HK$121,000,000. During the current year, this bank loan was fully repaid by the Group and the guarantees were released
accordingly.

Note
35Share Option Schemes

On August 2, 2002, MSIL, a subsidiary of the Company prior to the Distribution, adopted
a new share option scheme (the 2002 Scheme) and terminated the one adopted on September 8, 1997 (the 1997 Scheme).

The purpose of the 2002 Scheme was to provide incentives to the eligible participants to contribute to the Group and to enable the Group to recruit high-caliber employees and attract resources that are
valuable to the Group. Under the 2002 Scheme, the board of directors of MSIL may grant options to any person being an employee, officer, agent, or consultant of the Group including executive or non-executive directors of MSIL and its subsidiaries,
to subscribe for shares in MSIL at a price to be determined by the board of directors being the highest of (a) the closing price of the shares on The Hong Kong Stock Exchange Limited on the date of grant of the option, which must be a trading
day; (b) the average closing price of the shares of The Hong Kong Stock Exchange Limited for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of the option; and (c) the nominal value of the shares.

The total number of shares in respect of which the 2002 Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group is not permitted to exceed
10% of the number of shares in issue at the date of adoption of the 2002 Scheme or such number of shares as result from a sub-division or consolidation of the number of shares at that date. Subject to as provided for in the 2002 Scheme, MSIL may
seek approval from its shareholders in general meeting to refresh this 10% limit, but the total number of shares which may be issued under the 2002 Scheme must not exceed 30% of the number of shares in issue from time to time.

No participant shall be granted an option which, if accepted and exercised in full, would result in the participant becoming entitled to
subscribe for such number of shares as, when aggregated with the total number of shares already issued and which may be issued upon exercise of all options granted and to be granted to him, together with all options granted and to be granted to him
under any other share option schemes of the Company and/or any subsidiaries, within the 12-month period immediately preceding the proposed date of grant (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options), would exceed 1% of the number of
shares in issue as at the proposed date of grant.

The 2002 Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of 10 years commencing
August 2, 2002.

Options granted must be taken up within 28 days of the date of grant upon payment of HK$1 for each grant
of options. Subject as provided in the 2002 Scheme, options may be exercised at any time during the option period, which is to be notified by the board of directors to each grantee, commencing on the date of grant or such later date as the board of
directors may decide and expiring on such date as the board of directors may determine, provided that such period is not to exceed ten years from the date of grant, and subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by the board of directors in its
discretion.

Details of the principal terms of the 2002 Scheme are set out in the circular of MSIL dated July 4, 2002.

As at March 31, 2011, the Group was committed to making capital contribution to one of the
Companys subsidiaries, China Northeast Logistics City Dezhou Co., Ltd. Such commitment would be fulfilled no later than September 26, 2012.

Note 38Disposal of a Subsidiary

During the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2011, China Northeast Logistic City Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which is principally engaged in property development, entered into an agreement with the non-controlling interest of Tieling Motor Vehicles
Trading Co., Ltd. (Motor Vehicles Company), a then non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, whereby both parties agreed to revise their shareholdings in Motor Vehicles Company as follows: (1) China Northeast Logistic City Co.,
Ltd. to ultimately hold 40% equity interest in Motor Vehicles Company and (2) the non-controlling interest of Motor Vehicles Company to ultimately hold 60% equity interest in Motor Vehicles Company. Upon the execution of this agreement, the
Group disposed of 20% of its interest in Motor Vehicles Company as the Group no longer had the interest in controlling the financial and operating policies of Motor Vehicles Company. As a result of the revised shareholding, Motor Vehicles Company
became an associate of China Northeast Logistic City Co., Ltd and is no longer consolidated by the Group.

The following is an
analysis of the net assets on the date which Motor Vehicles Company was being disposed of:

Note 42Contingent Liabilities

On August 25, 2009, at the general meeting, the shareholders of Man Sang Holdings, Inc., the former immediate holding company, resolved that Man Sang Holdings, Inc. be dissolved and liquidated,
whereby Man Sang Holdings, Inc. had been succeeded by the Company. From its inception in August 1995 through the completion of the dissolution and liquidation on August 25, 2009, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Man Sang Holdings,
Inc. The liquidation did not result in tax for Man Sang Holdings, Inc. Such result is subject to assessment by U.S. tax authority. As the Company has succeeded Man Sang Holdings, Inc. and contractually assumed all of Man Sang Holdings Inc.s
rights, obligations and liabilities, if the assessment differs from actual result, it may give rise to the possibility of outflow in settlement of tax by the Company. The directors are of the view that the likelihood of an indemnification liability
arising from such dissolution at years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is remote. Accordingly, no accrual has been made.

repayable within one year as at March 31, 2009. During fiscal 2010, a further HK$100,000,000 of the same nature were advanced to the Group from the equity holders where the aggregate balance of HK$300,000,000 was waived by the equity holders
upon the Merger (as detailed in note 2(a)) and was capitalized in the Groups capital reserve during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

The loan from a non-controlling interest of HK$12,000,000 was unsecured, interest-free and quasi-equity in nature, which is not repayable within one year as at March 31, 2011.

Note 46Post Balance Sheet Events

On May 11, 2011 (the Closing), the Company completed an underwritten offering of 1,517,978 units at a price of US$2.88 per unit (the Offering). The offering yielded gross
proceeds (before underwriting discount and commissions and offering expenses) of approximately US$4,372,000 (approximately HK$34,100,000). Each unit consists of one of the Companys ordinary share and a warrant to purchase 0.65 of one of the
Companys ordinary share. The exercise price of the warrants is US$3.456 per ordinary share, subject to certain adjustments and with a term of three years. The Company has also issued warrants to the underwriter, to purchase in aggregate
200,373 ordinary shares of the Company at an exercise price of US$3.456 and with a term of three years. As at the Closing of the aforementioned units offering, the fair values of these warrants approximated to HK$6,988,000. As a result of the
Offering, an amount of approximately HK$6,988,000 was recorded as Derivative financial liabilities for these warrants, and an amount of approximately HK$ 27,112,000, being the difference between the gross proceeds and the fair value of
these warrants, was recorded in its equity, before underwriting discount and commissions and offering expenses. Subsequent changes to the fair value of these warrants will be recognized in the consolidated income statement.

The US dollar equivalents of the figures shown in the consolidated financial statements are supplementary information and have been translated at HK$7.80 to US$1.00. Such translation should not be
