    The Company, incorporated in Bermuda, was established in 1992 to own a
51% interest in Shenyang JinBei Passenger Vehicle Manufacturing Company, Ltd.
("Shenyang Automotive"), a Sino-foreign joint venture enterprise established
in 1991.  Shenyang Automotive, located in Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning
Province and the commercial center of Northeast China, is the leading
manufacturer and distributor of minibuses in the People's Republic of China.
In May 1998, the Company acquired an indirect interest in two component
suppliers: a 51% equity interest in Ningbo Yuming Machinery Industrial Co.,
Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned Chinese enterprise primarily engaged in the
production of automobile window molding and stripping; and a 50% equity
interest in Mianyang Xinchen Engine Co., Ltd., a Sino-foreign equity joint
venture manufacturer of gasoline engines for use in passenger vehicles and
light duty trucks.  In October 1998, the Company established Xing Yuan Dong as
its wholly owned subsidiary to centralize and consolidate the sourcing of auto
parts and components for Shenyang Automotive.  The Company was the first with
operations solely in China to list directly on the New York Stock Exchange.
