II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER AND CML
Shareholder and CML represents and warrants to the Company as follows, as of the
closing:
2.01. ORGANIZATION. CML is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of Hong Kong. CML has the corporate power
and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted; and is qualified
to do business in all jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would
have a material adverse effect on its business.
2.02. CAPITALIZATION.
2.02(a) CML has 100,000 total shares authorized, of which 100,000 are
issued and outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of CML are duly
authorized, validly issued, issued for value, fully paid and non
assessable.
2.02(b) There are no outstanding preferred stock, options, warrants,
or any other rights to purchase any securities of CML.
2.03. AUTHORITY. Shareholder has full power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated herein. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized and approved by
Shareholder and no other corporate proceedings on the part of CML and/or
Shareholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.
2.04. FINANCIAL INFORMATION & EARNINGS GUARANTEE.
2.04(a) Attached as Exhibit A is CML's audit for the period ending
December 31, 1996. The Financial Information provided by Shareholder to
Company is accurate and not misleading, to the best of Shareholder's
knowledge.
2.04(b) Shareholder warrants that CML's consolidated net income, as
audited under US GAAP for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998, will
not be less than US$1.2 million. In the event that the audited earnings
fall below this amount, Shareholder will cancel that number of Company
shares necessary to increase Company earnings per share ("EPS") to the
level that would have existed had the earnings met the minimum level stated
above (before adjustment for any splits or new issuances post closing). The
warranted EPS is 2.4 cents per share, based on the $1.2 million 1998
earnings guarantee and the 50,000,000 total issued shares just after
closing. The maximum number of shares that Shareholder may have to cancel
will, in any case, not exceed 18 million shares. Before adjustments for any
stock splits or new issuances, Shareholder will have to cancel 2,083,277
shares of Company common stock for each $50,000 shortfall (below $1.2
million) in 1998 CML earnings, as audited under US GAAP.
Shareholder agrees that any share cancellation under this provision will
take effect on the date the 1998 CML US GAAP audit is completed and that
the Company's relevant SEC filing which discloses CML's 1998 results will
automatically include any required share cancellation and give effect to
the EPS increase from such share cancellation. If any delays in completing
a required share cancellation cause the Company to be unable to report the
completed share cancellation and improved earnings per share in the
Company's SEC filing immediately following the completion of CML's 1998
audit, due no later than March 31, 1999, Shareholder agrees that it will
pay the Company a penalty fee of $US50,000 for each month of delay until
the cancellation is completed and reported in the Company's SEC filings,
with such penalty fee(s) to be due and payable at each month-end.
2.04(c) Shareholder represents that, upon completion of the US GAAP
audits for the year-ended 1997, sales and net equity will exceed US$10
million and US$2 million, respectively. To the extent that the actual US
GAAP audited net equity is more than 10% less than US$2 million, the
earnings guarantee stated in 2.04(b) will increase, on a dollar for dollar
basis.
2.04(d) To the extent that CML's earnings are below the guaranteed
level due to an exchange rate decline, the guaranteed earnings level will
be decreased by the same percentage as the change in exchanges rates (the
percentage change of the HK/US dollar exchange rate at the time of this
agreement to the rate applicable when the 1998 earnings are reporting in
the Company's SEC filings), with a maximum decrease in the guaranteed
earnings of 10% (in $US dollar terms).
2.05. LITIGATION. There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation
pending or threatened against CML affecting any of its properties, subsidiaries,
or assets that might result, either in any case or in the aggregate, in any
adverse change in the business, operations, affairs or condition of CML or its
properties or assets, or that might call into question the validity of this
Agreement, or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto.
2.06. TITLE TO ASSETS. Shareholder has good and marketable title to CML,
and CML has good and marketable title to all of its assets and properties now
carried on its books. These assets include a 55% ownership stake in Techtime
Industries, Ltd., a 100% ownership stake in Queenex Enterprises, Ltd., a 100%
interest in Excel Master, Ltd., and a 70% interest in Carison, Ltd.
2.07. CONTRACTS AND UNDERTAKINGS. CML and its subsidiary business
operations are not in material default, or alleged to be in material default,
under any Contract or Undertaking.
2.08. NO CONFLICT. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or
result in a breach of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under,
the Memorandum and Articles of Association of CML, or any agreement, contract or
instrument to which CML is a party or by which it or any of its assets are
bound.
2.09. ACCURACY. No document furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the
Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or when taken as a whole omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading.

We have audited the financial statements on pages 4 to 24 which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong
Kong.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
The Companies Ordinance requires the directors to prepare financial statements
which give a true and fair view. In preparing financial statements which give
a true and fair view it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are
selected and applied consistently.
It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on
those statements and to report our opinion to you.
Basis of opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Statements of Auditing Standards
issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants. An audit includes examination,
on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant
estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the
financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to
the circumstances of the Company and the Group, consistently applied and
adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
expanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient
evidence to give reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the
overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of affairs of the Company and the Group as at 31st December 1996 and of the
Group's profit and cash flows for the period then ended and have been properly
prepared in accordance with tht Companies Ordinance.
