Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         Upon the closing of Issuer's initial public offering in March 1997,
Issuer issued 1,680,000 shares of its Common Stock for 1,000,000 shares of the
Common Stock of Euro Tech (Far East) Ltd. ("Far East"), which constituted all of

constitute the principal operations of the Issuer. Pearl and Regent owned
266,000 and 734,000 shares of Far East's capital stock, respectively, and
received, of record, proportionate numbers of shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock (1.68 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock for each share of Far East).
Following the Issuer's initial public offering, Mr. Leung received options to
purchase 1,320,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, exercisable at $3.33
(420,000) and $4.58 (900,000) per share. Those options are now exercisable.

         In July 1999 and through August 25, 1999, Mr. Leung has made open

members of the Reporting Group was 1,223,169 or approximately 49.7% of the
Issuer's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Giving effect to options
owned by Mr. Leung to purchase 1,320,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock,

Issuer's Common Stock) and Pearl possesses sole voting and dispositive power of
the 1,016,115 shares of Common Stock owned of record by it. When Pearl's record

name of Regent, Pearl beneficially owns 1,129,515 shares or 45.5% of Issuer's
Common Stock.

         On or about December 21, 1999 Regent authorized the transfer of 99,120
