We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sun East

Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
-------------------------------------
Bold Future Trading Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in the Cayman
Islands on July 1, 1997. Pursuant to a special resolution of shareholders passed
on October 8, 1997, the Company changed its name to Sun East International
Development Limited, the present one. As of December 31, 1997, the Company was
99% owned by Sun East International Development (Holdings) Limited ("SEIDHL"; a
company incorporated in the Cayman Islands) and 1% owned by Mr. Su Hang, a
director of the Company. SEIDHL was majority owned by Mr. Su Hang (35%), Mr. Li
Xinnan (15%) and Mr. Chan Lap (5%), directors of the Company and Mr. Xie Zhuo
Hua (27%), together with a number of minority shareholders each individually
holding less than 5%. The Company maintains its head office in Hong Kong, and is
engaged in providing procurements service for mobile telecommunication systems.
On July 1, 1997, the Company acquired a wholly owned subsidiary - Shamrock
International Limited ("SIL"; a dormant company incorporated in Western Samoa on
November 13, 1995). Effective from July 1, 1997, SIL succeeded to the trading
businesses of petrochemical materials and television cathode ray tubes
previously undertaken by another Sun East International Development Limited
("SEIDL-HK"; a company incorporated in Hong Kong). SEIDL-HK was 52% owned by Mr.
Li Xinnan and 29% owned by Mr. Su Hang, both of whom are shareholders and
directors of the Company. Pursuant to an agency agreement dated June 28, 1997,
SEIDL-HK has agreed to provide SIL with selling support for a six-month period
from July 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997, in return for an agency fee determined
at 2% on the net sales of SIL. During the six months ended December 31, 1997,
the agency fee paid by SIL to SEIDL-HK amounted to approximately $278,000.
Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the agency agreement has been extended for a
nine-month period from January 1, 1998 to September 31, 1998.
On July 1, 1997, the Company acquired a second wholly-owned subsidiary -
Fitwealth Investments Limited ("FIL"; a dormant company incorporated in Western
Samoa on March 28, 1996). Pursuant to an agreement dated June 27, 1997, SEIDHL
acquired a 100% interest in Sun East Shanghai Real Estate Development Company
Limited ("SESREDCL") from SEIDL-HK at a consideration of approximately
$9,150,000. Pursuant to another agreement dated June 27, 1997, SEIDHL
transferred 51% interest in SESREDCL to FIL at a consideration of approximately
$4,666,000. SESREDCL is a wholly foreign owned enterprise established in the
People's Republic of China ("the PRC") to operate for a period of 50 years up to
December 2044, and is principally engaged in real estate property development in
Shanghai, the PRC. The total registered capital of SESREDCL is $9,000,000, of
which approximately $5,726,000 has been paid up as of December 31, 1997 and
verified by a firm of certified public accountants in the PRC according to PRC
regulations. The total investment cost for SESREDCL's property development
project is estimated to be approximately $31,000,000. As of December 31, 1997,
SESREDCL's development properties were still at a preliminary stage of
construction, with estimated additional construction costs to be incurred
amounting to approximately $11,202,000.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------
The succession of SEIDL-HK's trading business by SIL and the acquisition of
SESREDCL by FIL have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at
their estimated fair values, and the operations of SEIDL-HK's trading business
(now undertaken by SIL) and SESREDCL are included in the consolidated financial
statements of the Group from the respective dates of acquisition. The following
is an unaudited pro forma summary of the combined results of operations of the
Company, SEIDL's trading business (now undertaken by SIL) and SESREDCL for the
year ended December 31, 1997 as if (i) the succession of SEIDL-HK's trading
business by SIL had commenced on January 1, 1997; and (ii) the acquisition of
SESREDCL by FIL had occurred on January 1, 1997. The unaudited pro forma summary
is not necessarily indicative either of the results of operations that would
have occurred had the succession and the acquisition been made as of January 1,
1997, or of the future results of operations of the combined companies.

Company and its subsidiaries. All material intra-group balances and
transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
b. Inventories

basis, and market value.
c. Equipment
---------

reflected in current operations. Depreciation for financial reporting
purpose is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets as follows: furniture and office equipment
- 5 years, and motor vehicles - 4 years. Major expenditures for
betterments and renewals are capitalized. All ordinary repair and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
The Group recognizes an impairment loss on equipment when evidence,
such as the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and
without interest charges) indicates that future operations will not
produce sufficient revenue to cover the related future costs,
including depreciation, and when the carrying amount of the asset
cannot be realized through sale. Measurement of the impairment loss is
based on the fair value of the assets.
d. Development properties
----------------------
Development properties represent land and buildings under development
in the PRC. This includes costs of land, costs of construction,
interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets
during the period of construction, and other direct costs attributable
to these assets. There was no interest capitalized for the period
ended December 31, 1997.
e. Net revenues
------------
i) Sales represent the invoiced value of merchandise supplied to
customers, net of sales returns and allowances, and are recognized
when the merchandise is shipped/delivered and title passes to
customers, and ii) commission income, which is recognized when the
services are rendered.

Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that

income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under the liability
method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary
differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and
liabilities.

risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets remain with the

States dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using closing
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and
expense accounts using an average exchange rate during each reporting
period. The gains or losses resulting from translation are included in
shareholders' equity separately as cumulative translation adjustments.
There was no gain or loss arose from foreign currency transactions during
the period ended December 31, 1997.
i. Earnings per common share
-------------------------
Earnings per common share is computed in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 by dividing net income for the
period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. The weighted average number of shares used to compute
earnings per common share is 50,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1997.
j. Use of estimates

SIL commenced its trading businesses of petrochemical materials and
television cathode ray tubes in July 1997. Although SEIDL-HK, the
predecessor of SIL, has substantial experience in trading of petrochemical
materials and cathode ray tubes, SIL, in its present form, has only limited
experience in the respective fields. During the period ended December 31,
1997, sales from trading of petrochemical materials and cathode ray tubes
related to a limited number of transactions.
SESREDCL's operations in property development are still at the preliminary
stage of construction and the outcome of the development cannot be
reasonably assessed. Such operation is subject to all the risks inherent in
a small real estate development company. These include, but are not limited
to, market competition in commercial real estate property market in
Shanghai, the PRC, and availability of sufficient future financing to
complete the construction work.

16. OPERATING RISK (Cont'd)
-----------------------
b. Country risk
------------
The Group's operations are conducted in Hong Kong and the PRC. Accordingly,
the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations may be
influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in Hong Kong
and the PRC, and by the general state of the Hong Kong and the PRC
economies.
Effective from July 1, 1997, sovereignty over Hong Kong was transferred
from the United Kingdom to the PRC, and Hong Kong became a Special
Administrative Region of the PRC (a "SAR"). As provided in the Basic Law of
the Hong Kong SAR of the PRC, the Hong Kong SAR will have full economic
autonomy and its own legislative, legal and judicial systems for 50 years.
The Group's management does not believe that the transfer of sovereignty
over Hong Kong has had an adverse impact on the Company's financial and
operating environment. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in
political or other conditions will not result in such an adverse impact.
The Group's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and
significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America
and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the
political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange.
The Group's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political
and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies
with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among
other things.
c. Concentration of credit risk
----------------------------
Concentration of accounts receivable as of December 31, 1997 is as follows:
China Fareast Shenzhen International Trading Company 100%
=======
The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of each customer's financial
condition. It maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such
losses in the aggregate have not exceeded management's projections.

10. OPERATING RISK
--------------
a. Limited operating history
-------------------------
SESREDCL's operations in property development are still at the preliminary
stage of construction and the outcome of the development cannot be
reasonably assessed. Such operation is subject to all the risks inherent in
a small real estate development company. These include, but are not limited
to, market competition in commercial real estate property market in
Shanghai, the PRC, and availability of sufficient future financing to
complete the construction work.
b. Country risk
------------
The Group's operations are conducted in Hong Kong and the PRC. Accordingly,
the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations may be
influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in Hong Kong
and the PRC, and by the general state of the Hong Kong and the PRC
economies.
Effective from July 1, 1997, sovereignty over Hong Kong was transferred
from the United Kingdom to the PRC, and Hong Kong became a Special
Administrative Region of the PRC (a "SAR"). As provided in the Basic Law of
the Hong Kong SAR of the PRC, the Hong Kong SAR will have full economic
autonomy and its own legislative, legal and judicial systems for 50 years.
The Group's management does not believe that the transfer of sovereignty
over Hong Kong has had an adverse impact on the Company's financial and
operating environment. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in
political or other conditions will not result in such an adverse impact.
The Group's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and
significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America
and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the
political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange.
The Group's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political
and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies
with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among
other things.
c. Concentration of credit risk
----------------------------
Concentration of accounts receivable as of December 31, 1996 and June 30,
1997 is as follows:
December 31, 1996 June 30, 1997
----------------- -------------
Five largest accounts receivables 97% 100%
The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of each customer's financial
condition. It maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such
losses in the aggregate have not exceeded management's projections.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at
December 31, 1997 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
operations for the year ended December 31,1997 are derived from the historical
financial statements of Am-Pac International, Inc. ("Am-Pac") and Sun East
International Development Limited ("Sun East") and are presented to reflect the
effects of the following events:
1. The acquisition (the "Exchange") by Am-Pac of all of the issued and
outstanding securities of Sun East in exchange for 12,500,000 shares
of Am-Pac common stock plus up to an additional 2,500,000 shares based
on the net earnings of Sun East for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The actual number of shares issued in the Exchange was 13,335,000.
2. The disposal by Am-Pac of all of its assets and extinguishment of all
of its liabilities pursuant to the terms of the Exchange and the
surrender and cancellation of 5,715,547 shares of Am-Pac common stock
by the controlling shareholders of Am-Pac so as to reduce the number
of shares of Am-Pac common stock outstanding prior to the Exchange to
3,000,000 shares. The stock of each of Am-Pac's subsidiaries,
representing substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Am-Pac
was transferred to a company owned by a controlling shareholder of the
Company in exchange for the cancellation of shares of Am-Pac common
stock held by that company. The balance of the assets and liabilities
of Am-Pac, consisting principally of loans to and from stockholder
owned entities, were transferred to, or assumed by, Am-Pac's
controlling shareholders in exchange for the cancellation of shares of
Am-Pac common stock held by the controlling shareholders.
3. The acquisition by Sun East, on July 1, 1997, of its various operating
subsidiaries (the "Sun East Reorganization").
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations set
forth below give effect to the Exchange, and the related disposal of assets and
liabilities and cancellation of shares by Am-Pac (the "Am-Pac Restructuring"),
and the Sun East Reorganization as if such events had occurred on December 31,
1996. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to
the Exchange, the Sun East Restructuring and the Am-Pac Restructuring as if such
events had occurred at the balance sheet date.
This pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and
is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position
that would have occurred if the Exchange and Am-Pac Restructuring had been
consummated at the dates assumed for purposes hereof, nor is it necessarily
indicative of future operating results or financial position. The pro forma
information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of Am-Pac and Sun East and the notes thereto.

AM-PAC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Exchange
The Exchange has been accounted for, and the pro forma combined financial
information has been prepared, using the purchase method of accounting as a
reverse acquisition whereby the company issuing its shares to effect a business
combination is determined to be the acquiree in the business combination. This
occurs when the shareholders of the issuer have less than a majority of voting
control of the combined entity. The company whose shareholders retain the
majority voting interest in the combined entity is presumed the acquirer. In the
current exchange, the existing shareholders of Am-Pac will retain an 18.4%
voting interest in the combined entity on completion of the Exchange.
Accordingly, Sun East is deemed to be the acquirer and the assets of Am-Pac are
required to be fair valued on acquisition. As Am-Pac has no assets, no fair
value adjustments are required.
Pro Forma Adjustments:
(1) To record the issuance of 13,335,000 shares of common stock of Am-Pac
pursuant to the Exchange, the retirement of Sun East's common shares upon
the Exchange and the elimination of Am-Pac's accumulated deficit.
(2) To record the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of Am-Pac in
exchange for the surrender and cancellation of 5,715,547 shares of Am-Pac
common stock.
(3) To record the Statement of Operations impact of the disposal of all of the
assets, liabilities and operations of Am-Pac as if such assets, liabilities
and operations had been disposed of effective December 31, 1996.

REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS, AND WARRANTIES OF AM-PAC
As an inducement to, and to obtain the reliance of the Shareholders, except
as set forth in the Am-Pac Schedules (as hereinafter defined), Am-Pac represents
and warrants as follows:

<PAGE>
Section 2.01 Organization. Am-Pac is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has the
corporate power and is duly authorized, qualified, franchised, and licensed
under all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and orders of public
authorities to own all of its properties and assets, to carry on its business in
all material respects as it is now being conducted, and except where failure to
be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on its business, there
is no jurisdiction in which it is not qualified in which the character and
location of the assets owned by it or the nature of the business transacted by
it requires qualification. Included in the Am-Pac Schedules are complete and
correct copies of the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of Am-Pac as in
effect on the date hereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does
not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not,
violate any provision of Am-Pac's Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws. Am-Pac
has taken all action required by law, its Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, or
otherwise to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and Am-Pac
has full power, authority, and legal right and has or will have taken all action
required by law, its Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, or otherwise to
consummate the transactions herein contemplated.
Section 2.02 Capitalization. Am-Pac's authorized capitalization consists of
149,900,000 shares of common stock, and 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par
value $.001, of which 8,315,547 common shares are issued and outstanding. Am-Pac
agrees that it shall have taken all action necessary to reduce the amount of its
issued and outstanding shares to 3,400,000 as of the date of Closing. All issued
and outstanding shares are legally issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not
issued in violation of the pre-emptive or other rights of any person.
Section 2.03 Divestiture of Assets and Liabilities and Subsidiaries Am-Pac
represents and the Shareholders understand that prior to Closing Am-Pac shall
have divested itself of all assets and liabilities. The financial statements
referenced below constitute consolidated financials of Am-Pac's subsidiary
corporations which are identified in the Am-Pac Schedules. However all such
subsidiaries shall be sold or otherwise transferred such that Am-Pac will own no
subsidiaries, and consequently have no assets at the time of closing.
Section 2.04 Financial Statements.

Am-Pac as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related audited statements

opinion of independent certified public accountants, with respect thereto,
all as set forth in the SEC Reports.
(c) All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
throughout the periods involved. The Am-Pac balance sheets present fairly
as of their respective dates the financial condition of Am-Pac. As of the
date of such balance sheets, except as and to the extent reflected or
reserved against therein, Am-Pac had no liabilities or obligations
(absolute or contingent) which should be reflected in the balance sheets or
the notes thereto prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and all assets reflected therein are properly reported and
present fairly the financial condition of the assets of Am-Pac, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows reflect fairly the
information required to be set forth therein by generally accepted
accounting principles.

of the foregoing as Section 2.02 was increased from 3,000,000 shares

been disclosed in this agreement and which shall seek to restrain,

SPECIAL COVENANTS
Section 4.01 - Access to Properties and Records. Am-Pac and the
Shareholders will each afford to the officers and authorized representatives of
the other full access to the properties, books and records of Am-Pac or Sun East
as the case may be, in order that each may have full opportunity to make such
reasonable investigation as it shall desire to make of the affairs of the other,

request.
Section 4.02 - Delivery of Books and Records. At the Closing, the
Shareholders shall deliver to Am-Pac the originals of the corporate minute
books, books of account, contracts, records, and all other books or documents of
Sun East now in the possession of Sun East or its representatives.
Section 4.03 - Special Covenants and Representations Regarding the
Exchanged Am-Pac Stock and the Acquired Sun East Stock.
(a) The Exchanged Am-Pac Stock. The consummation of this Agreement and the
transactions herein contemplated, including the issuance of the Exchanged
Stock to the Shareholder of Sun East as contemplated hereby, constitutes
the offer and sale of securities under the Securities and Exchange Act and
applicable state statutes. The Shareholders acknowledge that the shares of
Am-Pac to be delivered to them pursuant to this Agreement have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1993 as amended, referred to in this
Agreement as the "Securities Act," or the laws of any other jurisdiction,
and that therefore the stock is not fully transferable except as permitted
under various exemptions, if any contained in the Securities Act and the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission interpreting the act. Under
US law, Am-Pac Common Stock cannot be sold or transferred by the
shareholders unless they are subsequently registered under applicable law
or an exemption from registration is available. Am-Pac is not required to
register or assist in the registration of the Am-Pac Common Stock except as
provided herein or to make any exemption from registration available. The
provisions contained in this paragraph are intended to ensure compliance
with the Securities Act. The Shareholders represent and warrant to Am-Pac
that they are acquiring the shares of Am-Pac common stock under this
Agreement for their own account for investment, and not for the purpose of
resale or any other distribution of such shares. The Shareholders also
represent and warrant that they have no present intention of disposing of
all or any part of such shares at any particular time, for any particular
price or on the happening of any particular circumstances. They further
represent that they have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of an investment in Am-Pac. The Shareholders acknowledge that Am-Pac is
relying on the truth and accuracy of these warranties and representations
in issuing the shares without first registering the shares under the
Securities Act. The Shareholders covenant and represent that none of the
shares of Am-Pac capital stock to be issued to them pursuant to this
Agreement, will be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, transferred, or
otherwise disposed of except after full compliance with all of the
applicable provisions of the 1933 act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 act. Therefore the
Shareholders agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of
Am-Pac common stock received pursuant to this agreement unless they 1. have
delivered to Am-Pac a written legal opinion in form and substance
satisfactory to counsel for Am-Pac to the effect that the disposition is
permissible under the terms of the Securities Act and regulations
interpreting the act; 2. have complied with the registration and propectus
requirements of the 1933 act relating to such disposition; or 3. have
presented Am-Pac satisfactory evidence that such a disposition is exempt
from registration under the act. Am-Pac shall place a stop transfer order
against transfers of shares until one of the conditions set forth in this
paragraph have been met. Furthermore the Shareholders agree that the
certificates evidencing the shares that they will receive under this
agreement will contain the following legend:
15
<PAGE>
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR INVESTMENT.
THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE UNLESS A
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED IS IN EFFECT FOR THE SECURITIES, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT IS IN FACT APPLICABLE TO SUCH
OFFER OR SALE, AND SUCH EXEMPTION IS EVIDENCED BY AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER.
(b) The Acquired Sun East Stock. Am-Pac acknowledges that the shares of Sun
East to be delivered to Am-Pac by each Shareholder pursuant to this
Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1993 as
amended, referred to in this agreement as the "Securities Act," or the laws
of any other jurisdiction, and that therefore the stock is not fully
transferable except as permitted under various exemptions, if any contained
in the act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
interpreting the act. The provisions contained in this paragraph are
intended to ensure compliance with the securities Act. Under US law, Sun
East Common Stock cannot be sold or transferred by Am-Pac unless they are
subsequently registered under applicable law or an exemption from
registration is available. Sun East is not required to register or assist
in the registration of the Acquired Sun East Stock or to make any exemption
from registration available. The provisions contained in this paragraph are
intended to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.. Am-Pac represents
and warrants to the Shareholders that they are acquiring the shares of Sun
East under this Agreement for its own account for investment, and not for
the purpose of resale or any other distribution of such shares. Am-Pac also
represents and warrants that it has no present intention of disposing of
all or any part of such shares at any particular time, for any particular
price or on the happening of any particular circumstances. Am-Pac further
represents that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
an investment in Sun East. Furthermore Am-Pac agrees that the certificates
evidencing the shares that it will receive under this Agreement will
contain the following legend:

OFFER OR SALE, AND SUCH EXEMPTION IS EVIDENCED BY AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER.

consents to this Agreement and the transactions herein and therein contemplated.
