The operating environment for the Group's property investment and development business remains tough during the year under review. Property market in Guangdong Province of Mainland China ("PRC") is still generally slack. The activities of the Group's property projects, which are mainly located in Guangdong Province, continue at a low level during the year.

The Group's completed properties for sale - Ever Success Plaza, comprising of over 440 residential units standing on 3 levels of commercial arcades and car parks, is located at a convenient and prime location with a river view in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province. The competition of the property market in Zhongshan is keen. There are abundant supplies of properties with modern design. Due to the vacancy of the commercial arcades, the occupancy rate of the residential units continues to drop. The management has put much effort in marketing the properties and is still trying hard to improve the operation of the commercial arcades by looking for innovative trendy commodities which are attractive to the consumers in Zhongshan. The rental income earned by the Group during the year decreased by 13.6%. As at 31st March, 2010, 233 residential units remained to be sold, out of which 142 residential units were let out.

With regard to the investment in Cong Hua White Swan Bow Yuen Real Estate Development Limited ("Cong Hua Bow Yuen"), the chance for the extension of the joint venture period of Cong Hua Bow Yuen remains very remote. Full provision for impairment loss against the property held by Cong Hua Bow Yuen had been made in the consolidated financial statements of the Group in prior years.
