The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT China World Trade Corporation (A Development Stage Company) We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of China World Trade Corporation (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statement taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

See accompanying notes and accountants' report CHINA WORLD TRADE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of accounting policies for China World Trade Corporation is presented to assist in understanding the Company' financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Interim Statements The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2001 and 2000 for the three and nine month periods then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the nine months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years. Organization and Basis of Presentation The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on January 29, 1998 as Weston International Development Corporation. On July 28, 1998 the name of the Company was changed to Txon International Development Corporation. On August 14, 2000 the Company acquired 100% of Virtual Edge Limited (a British Virgin Islands Company) pursuant to a share exchange agreement. On September 15, 2000 the Company changed its name to China World Trade Corporation. The Company is in the development stage since January 29, 1998 (inception) and has not commenced planned principal operations. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China World Trade Corporation ("CWTC") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: o Virtual Edge Limited ("VEL"), a British Virgin Islands Company (100% owned by CWTC) o Infotech Enterprises Limited ("Infotech"), a British Virgin Islands Company (49% owned by CWTC and 51% owned by VEL) o Beijing World Trade Center Club ("BWTCC"), a People's Republic of China Company (75% owned by VEL) o Guangzhou World Trade Centre Club Limited ("GWTCC"), a People's Republic of China Company (75% owned by VEL) The results of subsidiaries acquired during the year are consolidated from their effective dates of acquisition. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. CHINA WORLD TRADE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 (Continued) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Nature of Business The Company through its subsidiaries intends to build a bilingual (Chinese and English) Business to Business Portal, and establish a club in Beijing to provide food and beverages, recreation, business center services, communication and information services, product exhibition services and trading brokerage services to its member. Cash Equivalents For the purpose of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. Pervasiveness of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Translation of Foreign Currrency The Companies functional currencies include U.S. Dollars and Chinese Renminbi. All balance sheet accounts of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end rate of exchange and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of the stockholders' equity. Gains or losses from other foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of foreign receivables or payables, are included in the Statements of Operations. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits. CHINA WORLD TRADE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 (Continued) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Depreciation Property, plant and equipment, are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows: Furniture & Fixtures 5-10 years Equipment 5- 7 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; betterments are capitalized. The cost of property sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are eliminated from the property and related accumulated depreciation accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS No., 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets." SFAS No. 121 addresses the accounting for (i) impairment of long-lived assets, certain identified intangibles and goodwill related to assets to be held and used, and (ii) long-live lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows from the used of the asset and its eventual disposition (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Net Loss per Common Share There are no dilutive potential common stock equivalents for 2001 and 2000 and are thus not considered. The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic EPS computations are as follows: CHINA WORLD TRADE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 (Continued) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Loss per Common Share (Continued)

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES The Company has accumulated tax losses estimated at $2,527,000 expiring in years beginning 2013. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. The amount of net operating loss carryforward available to offset future taxable income will be limited if there is a substantial change in ownership. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to the uncertainty with respect to the ultimate realization of the net operating loss carry forward, the Company established a valuation allowance for the entire net deferred income tax asset as of September 30, 2000. NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN / DEVELOPMENT STAGE The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a development stage company, the Company has had recurring losses during its development stage. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to be successful in its planned activity, and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through additional equity funding and long term financing, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year. NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS As of December 31, 2001 all activities of the Company have been conducted by corporate officers from either their homes or business offices. Currently, there are no outstanding debts owed by the company for the use of these facilities and there are no commitments for future use of the facilities.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: Certain statements in this report and elsewhere (such as in other filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), press releases, presentations by the Company or its management and oral statements) may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

OPERATING REVENUE The Company is still in its development stage and there has been no operating revenue since inception on January 29, 1998 to December 31, 2001. Our aim is to provide trade agency business linking companies in China and the rest of the world. We currently have three operating arms, namely the Beijing World Trade Center Club ("BWTCC"), Guangzhou World Trade Center Club ("GWTCC") and Infotech Enterprises Limited ("Infotech"). BWTCC will be engaged in the establishment of a business club located in Beijing and GWTCC is engaged in the operation with the business club in Guangzhou, the PRC. The GWTCC provides food and beverages, recreation, business center services, communication and information services, products exhibitions services, and commercial and trading brokerage services. Infotech will build a bilingual, English and Chinese, business-to-business portal. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative expenses increased by $511,000 or325% to $668,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2001 from $157,000 for the corresponding period in 2000. The increase was mainly due to: i) Professional Fees: Professional fees increased by US$598,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2001, compared to none for the same corresponding period in year 2000. These professional fees were paid to hire consultants to act as liaison with the Chinese government and to provide different corporate finance services for the development of the World Trade Center Clubs. ii) General and Administrative: The increase of the general and administrative expenses was partially offset by the decrease in legal expenses, audit fees and other listing company's compliance fees. iii) Goodwill: There were no accounting entry for goodwill during the three-month period ended December 31, 2001, compared to an entry in the amount of US$559,000 for the same corresponding period in year 2000. FINANCIAL INCOME/(EXPENSES), NET Financial expenses were approximately US$2,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2001, compares to none for the same corresponding period in year 2000. INCOME TAXES The Company is still at it development stage and did not generate any revenue nor income for period since inception to December 31, 2001. Thus, no income taxes incurred for the reporting periods. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Virtual Edge Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary, underwent a capital restructuring in May 2000 in which long-team debt was partly reduced in the amount of US$2.5 million by new issuance of share capital in the same amount. There has been no other significant change in financial condition and liquidity since inception on January 29, 1998 to December 31,2001. We believe that the level of financial resources is a significant factor for our future development and accordingly may choose at any time to raise capital through debt or equity financing to strengthen its financial position, facilitate growth and provide us with additional flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) None (b) No reports on Form 8-K were filed by the Company for the quarter ended December 31, 2001.
