                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      Certain information contained in this Form 6-K are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words or
phrases such as "is expected to", "will", "is anticipated", "plan to",
"estimate", "believe," "may," "intend," "should" or similar expressions, or the
negative forms of these words, phrases or expressions, or by discussions of
strategy. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors
that could cause the registrant's actual results to differ materially from its
historical results and those presently anticipated or projected. A discussion of
the most significant risks, uncertainties and other factors is included in the
annual report on Form 20-F that the registrant files with the Commission each
year.

      You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statements were made.
Among the factors that could cause the registrant's actual results in the future
to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to
future periods include adverse effects on the economy in the Pearl River Delta
region, increased competition from other means of transportation, failure or
delay in implementation of the development projects, reoccurrence of Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Hong Kong or China, foreign currency fluctuations
and other factors beyond the registrant's control.
