         may rescind this Agreement by written notice to each of the Vendors.

         without prejudice to all other rights and remedies  available to it and

         -------
         The Accounts:

         (i)      were  prepared  in  accordance  with the  requirements  of all
                  relevant laws, statutes,  with good accounting  principles and
                  practices generally accepted at the date hereof in the PRC for
                  companies carrying on a similar business to that of the Group,
                  comply with all  relevant  statements  of standard  accounting
                  practice  and  accounting  guidelines  issued by the  relevant
                  authorities, are prepared on a basis consistent with preceding
                  accounting  periods of the Group and with the books of account
                  of the  Group  and  are  true  and  accurate  in all  material
                  respects;

         (ii)     disclose a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities of
                  the Group at the Balance Sheet Date and of its profits for the
                  financial year ended on such date;

         (iii)    contain full provision or reserve for bad and doubtful  debts,
                  burdensome contracts or other obligations, obsolescent or slow
                  moving  stocks and for  depreciation  on fixed  assets,  which
                  provision or reserve was when made and is now adequate;



                                    27
<PAGE>
         (iv)     contain  a note of all  capital  commitments  (if  any) of the
                  Company and its  subsidiaries at the Balance Sheet Date, which
                  note  was  when  made  and  is  now  adequate,  fair  and  not
                  misleading; and

         (v)      contain full  provision or reserves (as  appropriate)  for all
                  Taxation.

(B)      Liabilities
         -----------
         At the Balance Sheet Date, the Group had no liabilities  known,  actual
         or  contingent  (including  contingent  liabilities  to  customers  and
         contingent liabilities for Taxation) which were not disclosed, noted or
         provided for in the Accounts.

(C)      Stock valuation
         ---------------
         The  stock-in-trade  shown in the Accounts has been valued at the lower
         of cost and net realisable value and includes no redundant, obsolete or
         unsaleable  items and no items  which are the  subject  of any  dispute
         (other than minor  disputes in the ordinary  course of business) with a
         supplier or customer.  The basis of valuation of the stock-in-trade has
         remained in all material respects  consistent with that adopted for the
         purpose of the Group's  consolidated  accounts at the beginning and end
         of each of the accounting periods of the Group since its incorporation.

(D)      Plant and machinery etc.
         ------------------------
         All the fixed and loose  plant  and  machinery,  equipment,  furniture,
         fittings and vehicles  used by the Group at the Balance  Sheet Date are
         reflected in the  Accounts,  were at the Balance Sheet Date and (except
         for such items as have been disposed of or realised by the Group in the
         ordinary  course  of  business)  remain  in  the  absolute   beneficial
         ownership of the Group and are free from any Encumbrance,  hire or hire
         purchase  agreement or leasing  agreement  or agreement  for payment on
         deferred terms and (apart from  depreciation  in the ordinary course of
         business)  their value is not less than at the  Balance  Sheet Date and
         none has been  acquired  for any  consideration  in  excess  of its net
         realisable  value at the date of such  acquisition or otherwise than by
         way of a bargain at arm's length.

(E)      Profits
         -------
         The profits of the Group for the two years  ended on the Balance  Sheet
         Date as shown by the Accounts and by the audited  accounts of the Group
         for  previous  periods  delivered  to the  Purchaser  and the  trend of
         profits  shown by them have not  (except  as  disclosed  in them)  been
         affected  to  a  material  extent  by   inconsistencies  of  accounting
         practices,  by the  inclusion  of  non-recurring  items  of  income  or
         expenditure,  by  transactions  entered into  otherwise  than on normal
         commercial terms or by any other factors rendering such profits for all
         or any of such periods exceptionally high or low.

(F)      Depreciation
         ------------
         Depreciation  of the fixed  assets of the Group has been made at a rate

                                    28
<PAGE>
         sufficient to write down the value of such assets to nil not later than
         the end of their useful working lives and no fixed asset has attributed
         to it a value exceeding the current market value thereof at the Balance
         Sheet Date.

(G)      Books of account
         ----------------
         All accounts, books, ledgers,  financial and other necessary records of

                  of its  plant and  machinery,  fixed and  current  assets  and
                  liabilities (actual and contingent), debtors and creditors and
                  stock-in trade; and

         (iv)     contain  accurate  information  in accordance  with  generally
                  accepted  accounting  principles  in the PRC  relating  to all
                  transactions to which any member of the Group has been a party
                  and the  Accounts do not  overstate  the value of any asset or
                  understate  any  liability  of the Group at the Balance  Sheet
                  Date.

         (iii)    Intellectual Property Agreements
                  --------------------------------
                  All agreements in relation to any  Intellectual  Property used
                  or owned by the Company have been  disclosed and are valid and
                  binding; none has been the subject of any breach or default by
                  any party  thereto or of any event  which with notice or lapse
                  of time or both would constitute a default;  nor are there any
                  disputes,  claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to
                  such  agreements.  No member of the  Group has  authorised  or
                  otherwise  permitted,  expressly  or by  implication,  any use
                  whatsoever  of  the  Intellectual   Property  owned,  used  or
                  otherwise  exploited  by the Group  save  insofar  as any such
                  authority  is  contained in the  appropriate  agreements.  The
                  Company  does not use or  otherwise  exploit any  Intellectual
                  Property  belonging  to a third  party  save  insofar as it is
                  licensed  to do so in the  appropriate  agreements.  All  such
                  agreements  have been duly  recorded  or  registered  with the
                  proper authorities whenever a requirement to do so exists.

         the Company:

                  same basis as previously;

         (ii)     will not relieve any person of any  obligation  to the Company
                  (whether  contractual  or  otherwise)  or enable any person to

                  by the  Company  or to  exercise  any right  whether  under an
                  agreement with or otherwise in respect of the Company;

         (iii)    will  not  conflict  with  or  result  in  the  breach  of  or
                  constitute  a default  under any of the terms,  conditions  or
                  provisions of any agreement or instrument to which the Company
                  is now a party  or any  loan  to or  mortgage  created  by the
                  Company or of its memorandum or articles of association;

         (iv)     will not result in any present or future  indebtedness  of the

                  due and payable prior to its stated maturity;

                  law,  regulation,  order,  decree  or writ  applicable  to the
                  Company; and

         so far as the Company and the Vendors are aware the attitude or actions
         of clients, customers and suppliers with regard to the Company will not
         be prejudicially affected thereby.
