3. planning and deciding the Company’s strategies on its business
activities; and
4. keeping proper written records of its decisions taken which may be
inspected by any members of the Board or the Board committees
upon request.
The Board reviews those arrangements and the Guidelines on a periodic
basis to ensure that they remain appropriate to the needs of the
Group.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
Under the Code Provision A.2.1, the roles of chairman and CEO should
be separate and should not be performed by the same individual.
Currently, the Company does not have any person holding the title of
CEO. Ms. Yang Mian Mian is the Chairman of the Board and is also
performing the functions of CEO. The Board meets regularly to consider
major matters affecting the business and operations of the Group. The
Board considers that this structure will not impair the balance of power
and authority between the Board and the Management and believes
that this structure enables the Group to make and implement decision
promptly and efficiently.
Under the Code Provision E.1.2, the chairman of the board should attend
the annual general meeting. The Chairman of the Board did not attend
the 2008 annual general meeting of the Company as she had overseas
business trip at that time.
INEDs
The INEDs have the same duties of care and skill and fiduciary duties
as the executive Directors. They are expressly identified as such in all
corporate communications that disclose the names of the Directors.
The INEDs are experienced professionals with expertise in areas of
accounting and finance. With their professional knowledge and experience,
the INEDs advise the Company on its operation and management; provide
independent opinion on the Company’s connected/continuing connected
transactions; participate in the Company’s audit committee meetings,
remuneration committee meetings and nomination committee meetings.
The INEDs also contribute to provide adequate checks and balance to
protect the interests of the Company and the Company’s shareholders
as a whole, and to promote the development of the Company.

3. 策劃及決定本公司有關其業務活動之策略；及
4. 就其決策保存妥善之書面紀錄，以應董事會或
董事會委員會任何成員要求供其查閱。

及指引仍然切合本集團之需要。
主席及行政總裁（「行政總裁」）
根據守則條文A.2.1，主席與行政總裁之角色應有區
分，並不應由一人同時兼任。本公司現時並無任何
人士擁有行政總裁之職銜。楊綿綿女士為董事會主
席，同時兼顧行政總裁之職能。董事會定期舉行會
議，對影響本集團業務運作之重要事宜加以考慮。
董事會認為該架構將不會損害董事會與管理層間之
均衡權力與授權，並相信該架構可讓本集團得以有
效地即時作出並實行各項決策。
根據守則條文E.1.2，董事會主席應出席股東週年大
會。由於董事會主席當時在海外公幹，故並無出席
本公司二零零八年度股東週年大會。
獨立非執行董事
獨立非執行董事應具有與執行董事相同之謹慎態度
及技能以及受信責任。於所有披露董事姓名之公司
通訊內，均會明確識別出獨立非執行董事。
獨立非執行董事均為資深專業人士，具備會計與金
融各範疇之專業知識。憑藉其專業知識及經驗，獨
立非執行董事就本公司之營運及管理向本公司提供
建議；就本公司之關連╱持續關連交易提供獨立意
見；並參與本公司之審核委員會會議、薪酬委員會會
議和提名委員會會議。獨立非執行董事亦致力提供
充分監管與制衡，務求保障本公司及本公司股東之
整體利益，同時亦可促進本公司之發展。
