Previously, on December 31, 2002, Mr. Wai Tung Cheung resigned as a Director of the Registrant. On May 2, 2003, pursuant to a majority vote of Directors of the Registrant, the Board of Directors, appointed Mr. Chi Hung Tsang, Mr. Ringo Leung and Mr. Chi Ming Chan, respectively, to fill the vacancies on the Board of Directors created by the above mentioned resignations. Mr. John H.W. Hui resigned as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Mr. Tsang was appointed Chairman in his place. Each of Mr. Leung and Mr. Chan will act as independent directors. Additionally, pursuant to the By-laws of the Registrant, the Board of Directors resolved to increase the number of directors from six Directors to eight Directors and have appointed Mr. Chaoming Luo and Mr. Keith Wong as Directors to fill the vacancies until the next annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Keith Wong was also appointed the Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant. The new directors and officers assumed control of the Registrant from the members of the former Board of Directors, including Alfred Or, David Jones and Wai Tung Cheung who resigned as Directors as set forth above. There are no arrangements or understandings among the members of both the former and new control groups and their associates with respect to election of Directors or any related matters.

("Robison") as its independent certifying accountant and appointed the accounting firm of Moores Rowland. The decision to approve the dismissal of Robison and appoint Moores Rowland was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. The reports of Robison on the Registrants financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. However, the unqualified opinion included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern. In connection with the audit of the Registrant for the most recent fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, there have been no disagreements with Robison on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Robison, would have caused that firm to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its report. 2 The Registrant has requested Robison to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated May 2, 2003 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report. ITEM 5 . OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE. Not Applicable ITEM 6. RESIGNATIONS OF REGISTRANT'S DIRECTORS.

When the Registrant's current fiscal year comes to an end on September 30th, 2003, the Registrant will file its annual report on Form 10-KSB as usual. However, the period from October 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 will be a transition period for which the Registrant will file a transitional quarterly report on Form 10-QSB.
