1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In June 1994, Heng Fai China Industries, Inc. (the "Company") entered
into a business combination with Vancouver Hong Kong Properties Limited
("Vancouver Hong Kong"), which owns and operates a residential rental
property in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The business combination
resulted in the shareholders of Vancouver Hong Kong being issued 10,357,700
shares of common stock (the "Common Stock") and 10,357,700 common stock
purchase warrants (the "Warrants") of the Company. As a part of the
business combination, a company related to Vancouver Hong Kong agreed to
subscribe for 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,500,000 common stock
purchase warrants for an aggregate of US$120,000 in cash. The foregoing
share numbers are before the effects of the Company's subsequent
one-for-four reverse stock split and a one-for-ten reverse stock split. The
business combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby the
purchase method of accounting was used with Vancouver Hong Kong being the
accounting parent. Accordingly, results of operations for periods prior to
the reverse acquisition are those of Vancouver Hong Kong, and the results
of Alpine's operations are included only from the date of such reverse
acquisition.
As of September 4, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement, (the
"Agreement") with Monkey King Group pursuant to which Worldwide Container
Company Ltd. ("Worldwide"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
acquired from the Seller a 70% interest in Wuhan Container Co., Ltd.
("Wuhan") in exchange for 727,272 shares of the Company's restricted common
stock. Wuhan is a People's Republic of China state company which was formed
to engage in the design, manufacture, lease and repair of standard and
non-standard containers and related steel structure products.
The closing of the Agreement was conditioned upon the approval of the
Board of Directors of the Company as well as the Company's satisfactory
completion of a due diligence review of Wuhan. On September 19, 1996 the
Company's Board approved the Agreement, completed its due diligence review
of Wuhan and directed the issuance of the Shares to Hubei Monkey King
Investment & Development Corporation ("HMK").

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - Continued
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The condensed
consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary
adjustments to present fairly the financial position, the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods reported. All adjustments are a
normal recurring nature.
The results of operations for the nine months periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. CONTINUING OPERATIONS
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
going concern basis of accounting which assumes the Company will realize
its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company is currently operating at a loss and has a deficiency in net
tangible assets. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern it may be required to realize its assets and settle its liabilities
at amounts substantially different from the current carrying values.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
continued financial support from its principal shareholder who has signed a
letter of financial support to the Company.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The following sets forth the significant accounting principles
utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.
Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Heng Fai China Industries, Inc. and all significant
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand and short-term bank deposits.
Inventories - Inventories relating to the Company's cement operations
are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out
method) or market. Cost includes material and conversion cost.
Trading-securities - Equity securities purchased principally for the
purpose of resale in the near term are classified as trading securities and
are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in
earnings. Fair values are determined based on quoted prices.
Investment securities - The Company has classified the marketable
equity securities it holds as available-for-sale. Accordingly, pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115 the securities are
measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable
taxes, reported as a separate component of equity.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of fixed assets over
their estimated useful lives as follows:
Building 5% declining balance
Leasehold improvements amortized over the term of the
lease which expires May 31, 2032
using the straight line method
Electric equipment 5 years straight line
Furniture and equipment 10 years straight line
Motor vehicles 5 years straight line
Plant and machinery 10 years straight line
No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.
Foreign currency translation - Financial statements of international
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at
each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted average
exchange rate for each period for revenue and expenses. Where the local
currency is the functional currency, translation adjustments are recorded
as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Where the U.S. dollar is
the functional currency, the financial statements of international
subsidiaries are translated at historical rates and translation adjustments
are recorded in income.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Introduction
The Company was originally incorporated in 1958 and until June 1994 had
been engaged in business other than those it presently operates, or, since its
Alpine 1992 emergence from reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy code, had been inactive.
Vancouver Hong Kong owns and operates an apartment building in North
Vancouver, British Columbia, and until June 1995 the Company's operations were
comprised of that single segment. In January 1995, the Company acquired from Fai
Chan (an officer, director and principal stockholder of the Company) the
ownership of 100% of the common stock of Heng Fai China and Asia Industries
Limited ("Asia") and Asia's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Heng Fai China Industries
Limited ("China") and Heng Fai Light Products Limited ("Light"). Light, through
its subsidiary Cangzhou Min You Cement Company Limited ("Min You"), obtained the
right to acquire the use, for a period of five years commencing January 1,
11995, of a production line at Min You in the PRC. Min You was entitled to lease
the production line for five years by expending Renmibi ("RMB"), the currency of
the PRC, RMB 1.2 million on the expansion and modernization of Min You. The
option was exercised and the required RMB 1.2 million was expended in fiscal
1995, and beginning in June 1995 the Company's operations included a second
business segment, the production and sale of cement.
As of September 4, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement, (the
"Agreement") with Monkey King Group pursuant to which Worldwide Container
Company Ltd. ("Worldwide"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired
from the Seller a 70% interest in Wuhan Container Co., Ltd. ("Wuhan") in
exchange for 727,272 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. Based upon
negotiations between the Company's President and the Monkey King Group the
Shares were valued at a per share price of $5.50. Wuhan is a People's Republic
of China state company which was formed to engage in the design, manufacture,
lease and repair of standard and non-standard containers and related steel
structure products. Wuhan commenced trial production of its containers in the
Spring of 1996.
The closing of the Agreement was conditioned upon the approval of the Board
of Directors of the Company as well as the Company's satisfactory completion of
a due diligence review of Wuhan. On September 19, 1996 the Company's Board
approved the Agreement, completed its due diligence review of Wuhan and directed
the issuance of the Shares to Hubei Monkey King Investment & Development
Corporation ("HMK").
The assets acquired by the Company through the acquisition of a 70%
interest in Wuhan consisted of assembly lines, plant and manufacturing
production equipment, power generators and related equipment. Wuhan presently
owns its manufacturing plant which is located in the City of Wuhan on the banks
of the Yangtze River and Hanshui River. The facility consists of approximately
480,000 square feet which will Wuhan estimates has a capacity to produce 10,000
containers on an annual basis. The Company believes that approximately
$5,000,000 in capital improvements will be required to be made to the plant in
order to reach maximum capacity. The Company intends to utilize Wuhan's assets
12
<PAGE>
in order to engage in the full scale design, manufacture and production of
container and related steel structure products.
The acquisitions of Wuhan was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Under this method, the purchase price is allocated to the fair value
of the net assets acquired and any excess is considered to be goodwill.
In addition, the Company only acquired majority interests in Wuhan which
requires allocation to the minority holders of their interests in Wuhan's income
and losses.
Results of Operations - Period Ended September 30, 1996 as Compared to the
Period Ended September 30, 1995
The consolidated sales increased 62.51% in the nine months' period ended
September 30, 1996 to US$636,000 from US$391,000 in the corresponding period in
1995, reflecting the contribution in sales from Min You. For the nine month's
period September 30, 1996, approximately 39.81% of the Company's total revenue
was derived from the leasing of the apartment building while 54.56% was
contributed by the sale of cement products. Out of the total revenue about 5%
was generated through securities investment for the nine months period ended
September 30, 1996.
The statement of operations include the operation of Wuhan. There were no
significant changes in the expenses attributable to the operation of Vancouver
Hong Kong between the nine months' period of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995.
General corporate expenses increased to US$2,181,395 for the period ended
September 30, 1996 from US$1,525,156 for the corresponding period in 1995
resulting from the significant increase in the consulting expenses and the cost
of cement production. The consulting fees related to an agreement the Company
entered into June 1995 for investor relations and financial advisory services
(see Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Legal and professional fees increased for the period ended September 30, 1996
for the expenses related to the Company's corporate operations.
The Company's net loss after minority interest for the period ended
September 30, 1996 was $1,513,887, a change of US$379,995 compared to net loss
of US$1,133,892 for the corresponding period in 1995. The increases in the net
loss was due to (i) the operating loss for the cement segment; and (ii) higher
general corporate expenses, the consulting expenses in particular.
As at September 30, 1996, the Company held shares of common stock of three
companies traded on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. As of September 30,
1996, the quoted market price of the shares are, in the aggregate, US$116,445
less than their initial costs. The securities are classified as available for
sale and, accordingly, the decrease in their market value has been debited
directly to stockholders' equity as a separate component thereof. These
marketable equity securities are carried at fair value and future changes in the
market value of these securities could materially affect the Company's financial
position.

Minority interests was US$31,657 for the nine months period ended September
30, 1996 which was solely the losses of Wuhan shared by the minority holders of
Wuhan.
There was no provision for income taxes of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The subsidiaries in the PRC were either in their first or second
year of the tax holiday.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company did not generate net profits from operations on an accounting
basis for the nine months period ended September 30, 1996.
Operating cashflows for the nine months period ended September 30, 1996
were a negative US$188,919. The Company met its working capital requirements by
(i) utilizing cash on hand and (ii) proceeds obtained from bank overdraft and
other short-term borrowings.
As discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company's operating losses and net asset deficiency raise
substantial doubts concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. However, the Company's principal shareholder has agreed to continue to
provide the Company with necessary financial support.
Exchange Rate Risk
As the Company's operations in the PRC increased, the exposure to exchange
fluctuation has increased.
The exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. Dollar ranged between
RMB 8.5 and RMB 8.2. Since the unification of the two-tier exchange rate system
effective January 1, 1994, the Renminbi continued to strengthen against the U.S.
Dollar. Therefore, management believes that it is unlikely that there will be
any devaluation of the Renminbi against the U.S. Dollar. The Company therefore
does not anticipate any exchange rate fluctuation which would have an adverse
effect on the financial performance and asset values of the Company when
measured in terms of United States Dollar.
Inflation
The general inflation rate in China was approximately 24% and 15% per annum
in 1994 and 1995 respectively. Accordingly, the Chinese government has taken
steps to control inflation by means of credit restrictions, increase in interest
rates and open market operations, which in turn, may lead a slowdown of the
Chinese economy.
As a result of the PRC inflation, the Company experienced a rise in the
cost of raw materials which was the primary cause for the decline in the gross
margins of the cement production in the PRC.
