Classification of Assets and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Policy

The Company has laid down its policy on assets classification and
provisions in accordance with the SEC’s Rules. Debts especially on
margin loan were classified as bad debt, doubtful debt and substandard
debt. The bad debt is identified as the loan balance which after every
efforts of collection, the debt still remains unpaid. The substandard
debt means the loan balance which is not higher than the collateralized
portion of loans and the doubtful debt is the debt which the loan
balance is higher than the collateralized portion of the value of debt.

With such classification of assets, the Company has set up a policy for
the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to be 100% of the uncollateralized
portion of the value of debts.

The Unrecognition of Revenue Policy

Unsettled transactions will not be recognized as company’s revenue if
they were not settled within 3 months and the Company will set up the
allowance for doubtful debts amount in the rate not less than 100 % of
the loan balance for the uncollateralized portion of the value of debts.

The Allowance for Impairment of Assets Policy
