ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES Li Sun Power International Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the "BVI") on September 19, 2000 as company with limited liability. The former name of the Company was Million Star International Limited which was changed on March 2, 2001 to Li Sun Power International Limited. As of December 31, 2002, the authorized capital of the Company is US$50 consisting of 50,000 shares of common stock, par value USD1.00 each. On February 23, 2001, 1 share of common stock par value USD1.00 each was allotted to Mr. Tsui Kit. The Company is an investment holding company, and the principal activities of its subsidiaries are the manufacturing and sales of battery testing equipment and batteries. The head office of its subsidiaries is located at No. 7 of Guandong Science Park, East Lake Technology Development Zone, Wuhan, Hubei Province, the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). 2. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION Pursuant to the share transfer agreement entered into between the Company and a shareholder of Wuhan Lixing Power Sources Co. Ltd. ("WLPS") in June 2001, the Company acquired 60.25% interest in WLPS for a consideration of RMB35,000. On July 1, 2001, the Company appointed the existing directors to exercise the control in WLPS. In December 2001, the Company entered into share transfer agreements with Mr. Tsui Kit, the sole stockholder of the Company, and acquired an additional 12.59% interest in WLPS for an aggregate consideration of RMB13,405. As of December 31, 2001 and 2002, the Company owns 72.84% interest in WLPS. The Company acts as an investment holding company and is designated by its sole stockholder and director, Mr. Tsui Kit, to hold his interest in WLPS. As the Company had not commenced operation as of December 31, 2000, no statement of operation for the period from September 19, 2000 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2000 is presented in these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the purchase accounting method incorporating the consolidated results of WLPS from July 1, 2001, the effective date of acquisition. The summary of effect of acquisitions of subsidiaries is disclosed as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 ------------------ RMB ACQUISITION IN JUNE 2001 Assets acquired Cash and cash equivalents 41,035 Trade and other receivables 71,034 Inventories 18,158 Property, plant and equipment, net 48,147 -------- 178,374 -------- Liabilities assumed Trade and other payables (40,153) Debts maturing within one year (41,900) Income tax payable (616) -------- (82,669) -------- Minority interest (17,033) -------- Net assets acquired 78,672 Shared by minority interest (31,270) Negative goodwill (Note) (12,402) -------- Consideration 35,000 -------- ACQUISITION IN DECEMBER 2001 Net assets acquired 12,814 Goodwill arising 591 -------- Consideration 13,405 -------- Total consideration of the acquisitions (note 15) 48,405 ======== Note: Negative goodwill is recorded as a reduction of the cost of leasehold land and buildings The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations reflect the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001, as if the aforementioned acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2001 and after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments. These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been had the acquisitions actually taken place on January 1, 2001 and may not be indicative of future operating results. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 ------------------ RMB PRO FORMA Revenue 121,560 Net income 22,020 The subsidiaries incorporated in the consolidated financial statements are as follows: a) WLPS was incorporated in the PRC on April 15, 1993 as a company with limited liability.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("USGAAP"). PRINCIPLE OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting; the pooling of interest method is no longer permitted, except for the transaction between entities under common control. In addition, SFAS No. 141 requires that at the date of acquisition, identifiable intangible assets should be recognized separate and apart from goodwill if the intangible assets meet certain criteria. SUBSIDIARY A subsidiary is an enterprise controlled by an entity directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries. The term control (including the terms controlling, controlled by and under common control with) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting shares, by contract, or otherwise. REVENUE RECOGNITION Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax ("VAT") and returns. The Group generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Group adopts a policy of including handling costs incurred for finished goods in the sales and marketing expenses. The handling costs for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 were RMB495 and RMB884 (USD107) respectively. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT All costs of research and development activities are expensed as incurred. ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS Advertising and promotion costs are expensed when the advertisement or commercial appears in the selected media. Advertising and promotion expenses for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 were RMB744 and RMB2,315 (USD279) respectively and are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense is computed based on pre-tax income included in the consolidated statement of operation. Income taxes have been provided, using the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The tax consequences of those differences are classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related assets or liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments, generally with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and are so near maturity that they represent insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. INVENTORIES All Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Potential losses from obsolete and slow-moving inventories are provided for when identified. Costs of work-in-progress and finished goods are composed of direct materials, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overheads. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION Property, plant and equipment are stated at original cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the assets have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, overhaul and minor renewals and betterments, are normally charged to operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the assets, the expenditure is capitalized. When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is recognized in the year of disposition as an element of other income, net. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment using straight-line method at rates based on their estimated useful lives of assets from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values. CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS Construction in progress is stated at cost, less provision for impairment loss, which includes all construction expenditure and other direct costs, including interest costs, attributable to such projects. Costs on completed construction works are transferred to the appropriate asset category. GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the fair value of their net assets at date of acquisition and is evaluated at lease annually for impairment. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. SFAS No. 142 requires that indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment using a one-step process, which consists of a comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the intangible asset. Intangible assets are deemed to be impaired if the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value. The estimates of future cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management's judgment. Any changes in key assumptions about the Company's businesses and their prospects, or changes in market conditions, could result in an impairment change. No impairment loss was recognized as of December 31, 2002. ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The long-lived assets held and used by the Group are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. FOREIGN CURRENCIES TRANSLATION The Group considers RMB as its functional currency as a substantial portion of the Group's business activities are based in RMB. Transactions in currencies other than functional currency during the year are translated into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the time of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currency are translated into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are dealt with in the consolidated statement of operation. For the convenience of the readers of these consolidated financial statements, translation of amounts from RMB into USD has been made at the exchange rate of RMB1.00 = US$0.12067 as of December 31, 2002. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been or could be converted into the United States dollars at the rate or at any other rates on December 31, 2002. GOVERNMENT GRANTS Government grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are recognized when there are no restrictions or conditions attaching to them, and the grants will be received. In July 2001, the Group received a lump sum of unconditional grant amounting to RMB12,000 from the PRC government to subsidize spendings on certain qualified capital and revenue expenditures of on-going research and development projects in lithium and lithium-ion batteries. The Group recognized the grant as revenue when it was received. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with USGAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, inventory allowance, taxes and contingencies. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Group provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectable amounts. The Group's estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Group's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of RMB9,036 and RMB9,361 (USD1,130) as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 respectively. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. Rental payables under operating leases are recognized as expenses respectively on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. RELATED PARTIES Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. The Group is required to adopt SFAS No. 145 during the first quarter of 2003. Adoption will not have a material impact on the combined financial statements of the Company. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This standard nullifies the guidance of EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, an entity recognized a liability for an exit cost on the date that the entity committed itself to an exit plan. Under SFAS No. 146, the FASB concludes that an entity's commitment to an exit plan does not, by itself, create a present obligation to other parties that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability. SFAS No. 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Group does not expect that this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123". This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Certain provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and other provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 will not have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Subject to certain exception, this statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) relationships designated after June 30, 2003 and all provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 has no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statement. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for the Group's combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. For applicable guarantees issued after January 1, 2003, FIN 45 requires that a guarantor recognize a liability for the fair value of obligations undertaken in issuing guarantees. The Group does not expect that this standard will have any significant effect on its combined financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46), which requires the consolidation of variable interest entities, as defined. FIN 46 is applicable to financial statements to be issued after 2002; however, disclosures are required currently if any variable interest entities are expected to be combined. The Group currently has no interests in variable interest entities, and therefore does not expect the adoption of FIN 46 to have an impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. 4. OPERATING RISK (A) COUNTRY RISKS The Group may be exposed to the risks as a result of its sales operation being related in the PRC. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environmental and foreign currency exchange. The Group's results may be adversely affected by change in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. The Company's management does not believe these risks to be significant. There can be no assurance, however, those changes in political and other conditions will not result in any adverse impact. The Group's result may also be adversely affected by the change in the trend of economic condition and growth in the PRC as a result of the recent outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in certain areas in the PRC. (B) FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK The Group's major sales and purchases are made in RMB. In addition, the Group had no significant monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than RMB and USD. As the exchange rate of RMB and USD was steady in previous years and is not expected to fluctuate in the foreseeable future, no hedging is considered necessary. (C) INTEREST RATE RISK The Group does not incur any significant interest rate risk as the Group had no monetary financial liabilities with floating interest rate at the balance sheet dates. (D) CREDIT RISK The carrying amounts of cash and bank deposits, trade and other receivables, and amount due from related party represented the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.
The major concentrations of credit risk arise from the Group's trade receivables. The Group generally does not require collateral on trade receivables. The Group maintains a provision for doubtful debts and actual losses have been within management's expectation. Trade receivables related to the Group's major customer were 11% of all trade receivables, net of allowance as of December 31, 2002. No other financial asset carries a significant exposure to credit risk. (E) CASH AND TIME DEPOSITS The Group maintains its cash balances and investments in time deposits with various banks and financial institutions located in the PRC. In common with local practice, such amounts are not insured or otherwise protected should the financial institutions be unable to meet their liabilities. There has been no history of credit losses. There are neither material commitment fees nor compensating balance requirements for all outstanding loans of the Group. 5. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
6. INVENTORIES

The amount of the contract is RMB10,000, with a minimum guaranteed return rate of 8% per annum and a repayment term of one year. As of December 31, 2002, the contract is stated at cost. 8. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET
The net book value of property, plant and equipment pledged as security for liabilities amounted to RMB20,321 and RMB15,209 (USD1,835) as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 respectively. 9.

The interests on amounts borrowed under the various loan agreements are at market rates.
