Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The company has laid down its policy on debt classifications and
provisions to be in accordance with the SEC’s Rules. Debtors especially
on margin loan were classified to be below standard if the debts
outstanding were lower than the collateral value and those debtors whose
debts outstanding was higher than the collateral value, were classified
under doubtful debts.

With such classification of the debtors, the company has provided an
allowance for doubtful debts for those below standard debtors at the
rate of50% of the debts and an allowance of 100% of the debt will be set
aside for doubtful debts not fully covered by the collateral value.

The allowance for doubtful account is considered individually depending
on the debtor’s repayment capability taking into consideration risk in
recovery and value of collateral. An allowance will be set aside monthly
for 100% of the debt value for doubtful debts not fully covered by
collateral and/or debtors which are forecast not to be recovered.

The Unrecognition of Revenue

Unpaid brokerage fees will not be recognized as company’s revenue if it
was not settled within 3 months and such debtors will be classified as a
below standard debtor and the company will consider the allowance for
doubtful debts amount according to the set policy.

The Allowance for the Devaluation of the Assets.

The company will set up allowance for devaluation of assets from cash investment by comparing the market value with the book value. If the book value is higher than the market value, the company will set an allowance for the devaluation of the securities. If no market value is available, the book value will be used instead to consider the allowance amount on securities devaluation. For the devaluation of fixed assets, which for the company at present, consist of only insignificant value such as equipment, decorations and office equipment, the considerations on the amount of devaluation allowance is relatively insignificant. However, the company will always comply to the general Accounting Standard No.36 concerning the Devaluation of Assets.

Investment in Subsidiary and Merged Company.

The investment in Subsidiary and merged company will base on reasonable
returns of each kind of business involved. The Subsidiary and the merged
company will be independent in their management yet focusing on the
shareholders’ benefits as a whole.

The decision on the designated persons and its numbers to join in the
subsidiary or merged companies will be made on mutual agreement with the
merged company.
