The RMB is not freely convertible into other currencies, however, under Mainland China’s Foreign<br />

Exchange Control Regulations and Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign<br />

Exchange Regulations, the Group is permitted to exchange RMB for other currencies through<br />

banks authorised to conduct foreign exchange business.<br />

Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short term time<br />

deposits are made for varying periods of between one day and three months depending on the<br />

immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short term time<br />

deposit rates. The bank balances and pledged deposits are deposited with creditworthy banks with<br />

no recent history of default.<br />
