Guangxi Holding is a state-owned limited liability company in China. Under Chinese law, the central government determines whether the exercise of ownership and management rights in such state-owned enterprises is at the central, provincial, or local level. For Guangxi Holding, ownership and management control are exercised at the local level. The Yulin City Government holds 100% of the equity interest in Guangxi Holding and exercises rights with respect to Guangxi Holding. Control Persons of the Reporting Companies - ------------------------------------------ Goldman is the owner of all of the outstanding shares of Coomber. The Reporting Individuals are the record owners all of the outstanding shares of Goldman. Pursuant to a series of Declarations of Trust, each dated September 10, 2002, the Reporting Individuals have declared that they hold their respective shares of Goldman in trust for the benefit of Zhong Lin and that they agree to exercise all rights which may accrue by virtue of their ownership of their respective shares in Goldman for the benefit of Zhong Lin. Two of the Reporting Individuals, Zhu Guoxin and Qin Xiaocong, are the record owners of all of the outstanding shares of Zhong Lin. Pursuant to trust arrangements comparable to those relating to Goldman but which have not been reduced to writing, Zhu Guoxin and Qin Xiaocong hold their respective shares of Zhong Lin in trust for the benefit of Yulin City Government. Pursuant to such oral trust arrangements, Zhu Guoxin and Qin Xiaocong have agreed to exercise all rights which may accrue by virtue of ownership of their respective shares in Zhong Lin for the benefit and at the direction of Yulin City Government. By virtue of Goldman's ownership of Coomber and the Reporting Individuals' trust arrangements with respect to the shares of Goldman and Zhong Lin, the Reporting Individuals, together with Coomber, Goldman and Zhong Lin may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) thereunder. In addition, as described under Item 3, "Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration," Guangxi Holding financed the Reporting Persons' acquisition of the CYI shares reported in this Schedule 13D on behalf of Yulin City Government. Guangxi Holding is also the owner of approximately 22% of GYMCL. Accordingly, Guangxi Holding may be deemed to be an additional member of such group. As a result of (i) Goldman's ownership of all of the outstanding shares of Coomber and (ii) the trust arrangements described above under which the Reporting Individuals own their shares of Goldman and Zhong Lin for the benefit and subject to the direction of Yulin City Government, Yulin City Government controls Zhong Lin and, through Zhong Lin, controls Goldman and Coomber, and may be deemed to be the ultimate beneficial owner of the CYI Common Stock reported by the Reporting Persons in this Schedule 13D. Each of the Reporting Individuals disclaims any beneficial interest in the CYI shares reported in this Schedule 13D. 13
The following information required by Items 2 - 6 of Schedule 13D is hereby given for Yulin City Government pursuant to General Instruction C to Schedule 13D. (a) Name: Yulin City Municipal Government in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China (b) Place of Organization: People's Republic of China (c) Principal Business: Municipal Government (d) Address of Principal Place of Business and Office: 274 Renmin Road East, Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China Executive Officers, Directors and Control Persons: As Yulin City Government is the municipal government for Yulin City in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China, there are no executive officers, directors or persons in similar positions. Lu Jian is, however, the Vice Mayor of Yulin City, as well as the Chairman of the Board and a Director of Zhong Lin. His business address is as set out above for the Yulin City Municipal Government. During the last five years, Yulin City Government has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which Yulin City Government was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Certain Proceedings - ------------------- Proceedings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On May 19, 2003, CYI filed a civil action in United States federal court in New York against Coomber, Goldman, Zhong Lin and Wang Jianming alleging violations of Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section 13(d)") based on certain alleged deficiencies in the Schedule 13D, dated November 13, 2002 and filed December 16, 2002 by Coomber and Goldman. The complaint seeks to compel Coomber, Goldman, Zhong Lin and Wang Jianming to make disclosures about the identities of other beneficial owners of the CYI shares; the source and amounts of funds used in the purchase of the CYI shares; and the purpose of the transaction. The complaint also seeks to enjoin further acquisitions of shares of CYI by Coomber, Goldman, Zhong Lin and Wang Jianming, to enjoin them from controlling CYI's business or corporate structure, and to divest them of the CYI shares. On May 19, 2003, the court entered ex parte an Order to Show Cause for Preliminary Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"), immediately enjoining Coomber, Goldman, Zhong Lin and Wang Jianming from acquiring additional CYI shares and from controlling CYI or making material changes to CYI's business or corporate structure. The TRO will remain in effect until the 14
court determines CYI"s motion for preliminary injunction or until the defendants have complied with Section 13(d). The court is currently scheduled to hear argument on plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction on July 2, 2003. Arbitration Proceedings in the London Court of International Arbitration ------------------------------------------------------------ On May 19, 2003, the six subsidiaries through which the Company holds GYMCL shares filed with the London Court of International Arbitration a Request for Arbitration against GYMCL, Guangxi Holding, and Wang Jian Ming. The Request for Arbitration is based on the arbitration clause in Article 91 of GYMCL's Articles of Association. The Request demands as relief: determinations that GYMCL, Guangxi Holding, and Wang Jian Ming have violated certain of GYMCL's Articles; an award directing GYMCL to pay each of the six claimants its pro rata share of the GYMCL dividend declared on August 23, 2002; and an award for certain incidental damages and costs in unspecified amounts. On June 18, 2003, GYMCL, Guangxi Holding, and Wang Jian Ming filed a Response to the Request for Arbitration. In the Response Wang Jian Ming requests that he be dismissed as a Respondent because the arbitration clause in the GYMCL Articles of Association applies only to disputes between or among GYMCL and its shareholders, and Wang Jian Ming has not been a GYMCL shareholder since 1994. Guangxi Holding requests that it be dismissed as a Respondent because the claimants have failed to identify a cognizable legal cause of action against Guangxi Holding. GYMCL acknowledges its obligation to pay the claimants their pro rata shares of the August 23, 2002 dividend but avers that, in light of the recent Chinese government actions described in Item 6 below, it does not consider itself at liberty to make the payments until the claimants and their beneficial owners have brought their investments in GYMCL into compliance with applicable Chinese law. GYMCL and Guangxi Holding also bring counterclaims, in amounts to be subsequently established, against each of the six claimants on the ground that the Claimants and their beneficial owners, including the Company, have, by establishing a minority shareholder control structure through HLA's "special share" in CYI, violated the Chinese law applicable to foreign investments, the Chinese Government orders approving the claimants' investments in GYMCL, and the Articles of Association of GYMCL. Arbitration Proceedings in Singapore ------------------------------------ Also on May 19, 1993, the Company filed with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris a Request for Arbitration against Wang Jian Ming. The Company requests a determination that Wang has violated various provisions of the Agreement and damages therefor in an unspecified amount. The Request is based on the arbitration clause of an Employment Agreement dated 1 November 2001 between the Company and Wang Jian Ming. That arbitration clause calls for the arbitration clause to be held in Singapore. As of the date of this filing, no further substantive filings had been made with the International Court of Arbitration. 15
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration On September 25, 2002, Goldman entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement (the "Equity Transfer Agreement") with China Everbright Holdings Company Limited ("China Everbright"). Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, China Everbright transferred to Goldman its 100% equity ownership interest in Coomber. At the time of the transfer, Coomber was the owner of 8,601,550 shares of Common Stock of the Company, representing approximately 24.3% of the issued share capital of the Company. By acquiring Coomber, Goldman (and, through Goldman, Zhong Lin and Yulin City Government) acquired Coomber's entire shareholding in the Company. Yulin City Government had originally intended to acquire Coomber through Guangxi Holding, which is wholly owned by Yulin City Government. The Yulin City Government ultimately determined that it would be easier to effect the transaction through offshore (i.e., non-Chinese) companies, and utilized Zhong Lin and Goldman for such purpose. The price payable by Goldman under the Equity Transfer Agreement with China Everbright was RMB 370,000,000. Goldman and Zhong Lin did not have sufficient funds to make the purchase and, consistent with the original intention that Guangxi Holding would acquire Coomber, Yulin City Government caused Guangxi Holding to assist Goldman in financing the acquisition. The payment terms were as follows: o Initially, on September 25, 2002, Guangxi Holding and China Everbright entered into a "Payment Agreement," under which Guangxi Holding agreed to pay China Everbright a total of RMB320,000,000, representing the purchase price due under the Equity Transfer Agreement between Goldman and China Everbright. Guangxi Holding had made prior payments totalling RMB50,000,000 in late 2001 and January-February 2002, when it was contemplated that Guangxi Holding would acquire Coomber directly. Pursuant to a "Memorandum on the Termination of Equity Transfer Agreement" dated September 25, 2002, Coomber, China Everbright and Guangxi Holding agreed that the RMB50,000,000 would be applied to the purchase price payable by Goldman. o Guangxi Holding, Goldman and China Everbright revised the payment terms in an Equity Transfer and Redemption Agreement among them dated October 24, 2002. Under the Equity Transfer and Redemption Agreement, the purchase price for the Coomber shares was revised to be payable (a) RMB 335,000,000 in cash (less the RMB 50,000,000 payment made by Guangxi Holding in late 2001 and early 2002), payable in installments between October 2002 and March 2003; and (b) RMB 35,000,000 by the transfer of a 9% equity interest in China Environmental Protection Co., Ltd., a company registered in China ("CEP"). 16
Also in October 2002, Coomber pledged 1,303,550 CYI shares to China Everbright as security for payment of a portion of the purchase price under the Equity Transfer Agreement. The pledge was effected pursuant to a Share Mortgage dated October 25, 2002 from Coomber to China Everbright (the "Mortgage"). As additional collateral security under the Share Mortgage, Coomber also granted a security interest in its registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement described below in Item 6. Between October 2002 to February 24, 2003, Guangxi Holding made installment payments to China Everbright totaling RMB 308,000,000. On March 12, 2003, Goldman, Guangxi Holding, and China Everbright entered into a Supplementary Agreement (the "Supplementary Agreement") that revised the purchase terms under the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Equity Transfer and Redemption Agreement. Pursuant to the Supplementary Agreement, Guangxi Holding's obligation to deliver the CEB shares to China Everbright was replaced by an additional cash payment of RMB23,000,000 and the total purchase price was reduced to RMB 358,000,000. The Supplementary Agreement acknowledged that such total amount had been paid by Guangxi Holding to China Everbright, that Goldman and Guangxi Holding had accordingly fulfilled all of their obligations to China Everbright under the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Payment Agreement and the Equity Transfer and Redemption Agreement, and that the Mortgage was to be rescinded immediately and the 1,301,550 pledged CYI shares returned to Coomber. Guangxi Holding paid RMB 30,000,000 of the initial RMB 50,000,000 down payment out of its cash reserves and the cash reserves of one of its subsidiaries (effectively a dividend to the parent company). The other RMB 20,000,000 was paid out of the proceeds of a RMB 30,000,000 loan to Guangxi Holding from the Bank of China dated January 31, 2002. Guangxi Holding paid RMB 285,000,000 to China Everbright between October 15 and October 24, 2002, in five payments. Of this amount, RMB 30,000,000 was paid out of Guangxi Holding's own cash reserves; RMB 100,000,000 was paid from the accounts of subsidiaries (again, de facto dividends); and RMB 20,000,000 was paid from GYMCL's August 29, 2002 dividend to Guangxi Holding. The balance of RMB 135,000,000 was paid from the proceeds of three bank loans: a loan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China dated October 17, 2002 in the amount of RMB 20,000,000; a loan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China dated October 21, 2002 in the amount of RMB 80,000,000; and a loan from the Bank of China dated October 24, 2002 in the amount of RMB150,000,000. Total proceeds from the three loans was RMB 250,000,000. The balance of RMB 115,000,000 was used for working capital of Guangxi Yuchai and its subsidiaries. Guangxi Holding made the final installment payment for Coomber in the amount of RMB 23,000,000 on February 24, 2003. The funds for that payment came from a loan from the Construction Bank of China of the same date in the amount of RMB 35,000,000. The balance of RMB 12,000,000 was applied to working capital. 17
Yulin City Government accounted for Guangxi Holding's payment of the purchase price on Goldman's behalf by treating such payments as dividends by Guangxi Holding to its sole shareholder, Yulin City Government. Yulin City Government then applied the amount of the dividends as capital contributions to Zhong Lin. Such accounting is not reflected in any written documents but solely in book entries by the parties. Pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated September 20, 2002 denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (the "Zhong Lin Loan Agreement"), Zhong Lin contributed these amounts to Goldman as interest-free shareholder loans. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction The purpose of the Reporting Persons' acquisition of their CYI shares on behalf of Yulin City Government is to increase the equitable interest of Chinese parties in GYMCL, a company registered in the PRC. As noted in Item 2, above, Yulin City Government owns both Guangxi Holdings and Zhong Lin. Guangxi Holding owns an approximately 22% direct equity interest in GYMCL. By acquiring Coomber through Zhong Lin and Goldman, Yulin City Government now also owns 24.3% of CYI and hence an additional, indirect equity interest in GYMCL. As more fully discussed below, Chinese Government authorities at the central, provincial, and local levels have advised GYMCL that the shareholding structure and agreements among CYI shareholders by which one CYI shareholder, Hong Leong Asia Ltd., controls CYI and, through CYI, GYMCL, violate applicable Chinese law and the orders of the former Chinese Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (now the Ministry of Commerce) that approved foreign investment in GYMCL. The Chinese Government authorities have instructed GYMCL to cure these violations and bring GYMCL's ownership and control structure into line with Chinese law. The Reporting Persons intend to explore all available means to accomplish these purposes, including the acquisition of additional CYI shares in market transactions or in private transactions and the invalidation of the "Special Share" in CYI by which Hong Leong Asia Ltd. purports to control CYI and, through CYI, GYMCL. At the present time, as described in Item 2, the Reporting Persons are subject to a temporary restraining order that prohibits them from increasing their ownership of CYI shares. Once that order is dissolved, the Reporting Persons may seek to acquire additional shares. In this regard, prior to issuance of the temporary restraining order, the Reporting Persons made preliminary inquiries with respect to the purchase of the holdings of a substantial shareholder of the Company whose holding, when added to the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, would result in the Reporting Persons becoming the beneficial owners of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock. The Reporting Persons also made limited approaches to smaller shareholders of the Company. No agreement was reached with regard to any such purchases, and the Reporting Persons can give no assurance that they will be able to consummate any such transactions. 18
If the Reporting Persons are successful in causing the Special Share to be invalidated and in acquiring a majority of the Company's Common Stock (or such number of shares less than an absolute majority that would enable them to control the Company), the Reporting Persons may engage, or cause the Company to engage, in one or more of the following actions or transactions, or other actions or transactions of the type referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D: o The Reporting Persons may acquire additional Company Common Stock. o The Reporting Persons may seek to increase their representation on the boards of the Company and of GYMCL, particularly if invalidation of the CYI Special Share causes the arrangements described below with respect election of directors of the Company and GYMCL to be terminated. o The Reporting Persons may cause changes in the Company's or GYMCL's dividend policies; in particular to assure that dividends paid by GYMCL to the Company are distributed to the Company's shareholders, insofar as such distribution is consistent with prudent management of the Company's business. o If the Reporting Persons are successful in invalidating the Special Share, they may cause the Company to adopt such changes in its Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws as are appropriate or desirable in connection therewith. o The Reporting Persons may seek to cause the New York Stock Exchange to examine the Special Share with a view to determining whether the continued listing of the Common Stock on that Exchange while the Special Share is outstanding is consistent with the current governance and listing policies of that Exchange. o The Reporting Persons intend continuously to review all aspects of their investment in CYI, including CYI's business, operations, financial results and condition and prospects, the market price of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities market generally, and general economic and industry conditions and, based on their continuing review of these and other relevant factors, the Reporting Persons may engage in such other actions referred to or contemplated by paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4 as they deem appropriate. The balance of this Item 4 sets forth additional information regarding the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of their CYI shares and certain disputes between the Reporting Persons and Hong Leong Asia, Ltd., which, as the holder of the Special Share, purports to control the Company. 19
GYMCL Foreign Ownership GYMCL, one of China's largest manufacturers of diesel engines, was nationalized in 1959 and operated thereafter as a state-owned enterprise until July 4, 1992 when it reorganized as a joint stock company. In April 1993, GYMCL issued 200,000,000 new shares to foreign investors. Chinese foreign investment regulations then in force required that all foreign investments of more than $30 million in Chinese companies, and all foreign investments of any amount in the automotive or automotive engine industries be approved by the central government of the PRC. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation ("MOFTEC") in Beijing approved the initial foreign investments in GYMCL in Order No. 261, dated April 21, 1993. Among the foreign entities whose investments were approved in Order No. 261 was Youngstar Holding Company Limited ("Youngstar"), a Hong Kong company which held 2.05% of the GYMCL shares. Youngstar was owned and controlled by China Everbright, a Hong Kong company that was directly owned and controlled by the Chinese Government. In 1994, China Everbright increased its beneficial ownership in GYMCL by acquiring an additional 20.03% of GYMCL to be held by another offshore subsidiary -- Earnest Assets Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("Earnest"). Accordingly, Youngstar and Earnest owned 22.08% of GYMCL's shares as of June 1994. MOFTEC approved Earnest's acquisition of GYMCL shares in Order No. 331, dated June 13, 1994. State Council foreign investment guidelines in force in 1994 required that any Sino-foreign joint stock company in the automotive or automotive engine industries be at least 50% Chinese-owned. As a result of MOFTEC's approval of Earnest's acquisition of GYMCL shares in Order No. 331, foreign shareholders held 71.36% of GYMCL's shares as of June 13, 1994. The Reporting Persons believe, however, that MOFTEC considered the 22.08% of GYMCL shares held by Youngstar and Earnest as "Chinese" shares for control purposes because they were beneficially owned by China Everbright, a Chinese state owned entity, and that GYMCL was, for that reason, in compliance with the foreign investment regulations. MOFTEC sought to prevent any adjustments to this structure in Order No. 331, which stated that "A separate application for approval shall be made, in accordance with applicable State laws and regulations for any future transfer of GYMCL's shares, including transfer of any foreign investment shares." In October 1994, GYMCL increased its capitalization by 30%, with each shareholder acquiring a pro rata share of newly issued shares in exchange for the payment of pro rata paid-in registered capital. MOFTEC approved this action in Order No. 550, dated October 19, 1994. As a result of this action and the later decision of Guangxi Holdings not to subscribe to its pro rata share of the newly issued shares, minor adjustments to the respective shareholdings in GYMCL took place, leaving foreign entity ownership (including foreign entities owned by Chinese nationals) at approximately 76.4%. In 1993-94, CYI, registered in Bermuda, issued shares to The Cathay Investment Fund Ltd., Hong Leong Technology Systems Pte Ltd. ("HL Technology"), GS Capital Partners LP, Sun Yuan Overseas (BVI) Ltd., and Coomber Investments 20
Limited ("Coomber"), in exchange for their transfer to CYI of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cathay Diesel Holdings, Ltd., Hong Leong Technology Systems (BVI) Ltd., Tsang & Ong Nominees (BVI) Ltd., Goldman Sachs Guangxi Holdings (BVI) Ltd., Youngstar Holdings, Ltd., and Earnest Assets Limited. Coomber was an intermediate holding company established by China Everbright to hold its Youngstar and Earnest shares in GYMCL. The six companies acquired by CYI were and are shareholders of record of GYMCL pursuant to MOFTEC Orders Nos. 261 and 331. As a result, CYI, a non-Chinese company, held approximately 76.4% of GYMCL in violation of the State Council directive that companies in the automotive engine sector had to be Chinese majority-owned. There is no evidence that MOFTEC was ever informed of these actions, which it did not, in any event, approve. CYI's shareholders entered into a shareholders agreement, dated November 9, 1994 (the "CYI Shareholders Agreement"). Hong Leong Asia Ltd. ("HLA") and China Everbright (from which the Reporting Persons subsequently purchased Coomber in 2002) were also parties to the CYI Shareholders Agreement as the parent companies of HL Technology and Coomber, respectively. The CYI Shareholders Agreement establishes governance arrangements for CYI, including the creation and issuance of a "Special Share" to be issued in connection with CYI's initial public offering ("IPO"). The agreement provides that either HLA or China Everbright may, depending on various contingencies, control the Special Share. The holder of the "Special Share" is entitled to name six of the eleven CYI directors and five of thirteen GYMCL directors. In addition, all action of CYI's shareholders is subject to approval or veto by the holder of the Special Share. Accordingly, the holder of the Special Share in CYI controls CYI and, as described below, is able to control GYMCL through certain additional provisions for election of the directors of GYMCL. The CYI Shareholders Agreement cited CYI's intention to conduct an IPO and to list the Common Stock (or American Depositary Receipts representing the right to receive Common Stock) on the NYSE and states as the purpose of the Agreement the establishment of terms to govern the Company after the IPO. Under the agreement, HLA was to hold the "Special Share" initially. Through Coomber, China Everbright was entitled to name two CYI directors and two GYMCL Directors. Cathay and GS Capital Partners LP's parent corporation Goldman Sachs were each entitled to name one director on each of the CYI and GYMCL Boards. (Note that despite the name similarity there is no relationship between Goldman Sachs and GS Capital Partners LP on the one hand and Zhong Lin's subsidiary Goldman on the other.) GYMCL's CEO is the eleventh CYI director. The CYI Shareholders Agreement also requires the CYI shareholders to cause the GYMCL Directors named by the CYI shareholders to vote as a bloc, as decided by the CYI Board. As HLA controls the CYI Board by virtue of its "Special Share," HLA can therefore direct the votes of nine GYMCL Directors - those it elects and those elected by the other CYI shareholders who are parties to the CYI Shareholders Agreement. 21
Once again, there are no MOFTEC Orders approving this arrangement. Goldman's Acquisition of Coomber In December 2001, Yulin City Government learned that China Everbright was interested in selling its interest in Coomber, through which China Everbright owned approximately 24% of the Company. Acquisition of such interest was in furtherance of its intention to increase Chinese ownership in GYMCL. Yulin City Government eventually consummated this purchase in the manner, on the terms and pursuant to the agreements described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D Amendment No. 1. Current Disputes Between GYMCL and the Company In August 2002, GYMCL declared dividends of approximately $38.9 million, representing the final dividend for 2001 and an interim dividend for 2002. GYMCL subsequently paid to GYMCL's Chinese shareholders (including Guangxi Holding) their pro rata shares of such dividends. It has not paid CYI's share of the dividends, but has set aside CYI's share until it can properly be paid in accordance with certain government directives referred to below. Goldman acquired Coomber approximately four weeks after the dividend was declared and prior to payment of the dividend. Yulin City Government, through Zhong Lin, sought assurances that Goldman, as the successor to China Everbright, the previous Chinese investor in CYI, would succeed to China Everbright's right to name two directors to the Boards of each of CYI and GYMCL. Yulin City Government also requested GYMCL to ask the Company to confirm that the dividend from GYMCL to the Company would be substantially passed through to the Company's shareholders, including Goldman. The Company refused both requests. Learning that China Everbright (through China Everbright) no longer held an interest in CYI and that Yulin City Government, through Zhong Lin and Goldman, would not be accorded the same rights in CYI as China Everbright had been accorded, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region wrote the Ministry of Commerce ("MOFCOM") in Beijing . In a Letter Requesting Assistance in Resolving Hong Leong Company's Illegal Holding of a Special Share in Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co., Ltd., dated March 22, 2003, the Guangxi Government advised MOFCOM that HLA was now purporting to exercise complete control over GYMCL under the "Special" or "Golden" Share arrangements in CYI, and that these arrangements appeared to violate the approval terms for foreign investment in GYMCL. The Guangxi Government requested MOFCOM's advice and assistance. In a Response to that Letter dated April 17, 2003, MOFCOM advised the Guangxi Government that the transfer of direct control of shares in GYMCL to CYI did not comply with the conditions set by MOFTEC (MOFCOM's predecessor) in Order No. 331 when it approved additional foreign shareholding in GYMCL. MOFCOM directed the Guangxi Government to remedy these acts promptly. In an Official Reply dated May 22, 2003, the Guangxi Government advised the Yulin City Government of MOFCOM's determinations and instructed the Yulin City Government to cause the investors in GYMCL to remedy the irregularities in the equity transfer process promptly. 22
The Yulin City Government attempted to resolve these issues with CYI and HLA through direct discussions. Twice in early June 2003, Yulin City Government invited representatives of CYI and HLA to Yulin discuss these and related issues. CYI and HLA refused each request. On June 10, 2003, therefore, Yulin City Government issued Opinions of the People's Government of Yulin City Government on Redressing Irregularities regarding the Equity Transfer by the Shareholders of Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co., Ltd. and Related Issues, which was addressed to GYMCL. Paragraph 2 of those Opinions stated as follows: "The activities with respect to the equity transfer by the offshore shareholders of your company [GYMCL] in breach of relevant regulations and the de facto control over your company by foreign shareholders resulting therefrom have injured the interests of Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Holdings Company and infringed on the rights and interests of the state-owned assets that our City Government manages with the authorization of higher-level governments. Therefore, we direct your company to redress these matters according to law as soon as possible, to ensure that the equity held by Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Holdings Company enjoys the same rights arising out of or in connection with the same class of shares, and to guarantee and maintain the legal rights and interests of our state-owned assets." GYMCL forwarded these Opinions and the related communications from the central and autonomous region governments to CYI on June 15, 2003. The Reporting Persons believe that, until the issues identified in the various orders of the central, regional, and city governments have been resolved, GYMCL is not at liberty to pay the foreign shareholders in GYMCL their pro rata shares of the August 2002 dividend. As noted above, funds to secure the eventual payment of that dividend have, however, been set aside. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Coomber is the owner of record of 8,601,550 shares of CYI common stock, constituting approximately 24.3% of the outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of (i) Goldman's ownership of all of the outstanding shares of Coomber and (ii) the arrangements described in Item 2, above, under the caption "Control Persons of the Reporting Companies," under which the Reporting Individuals own their shares of Goldman and Zhong Lin for the benefit and subject to the direction of Yulin City Government, Yulin City Government controls Zhong Lin and through Zhong Lin, controls Goldman and Coomber, and may be deemed to be the ultimate beneficial owner of the CYI Common Stock reported by the Reporting Persons in this Schedule 13D. To the extent it exercises such beneficial ownership of the CYI common stock through the Reporting Persons, Yulin City Government may be deemed to share such beneficial ownership with the Reporting Persons. Each of the Reporting Individuals disclaims any beneficial interest in the CYI shares reported in this Schedule 13D. 23
Except for the preliminary discussions described in Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Company's common stock during the 60 days preceding the filing of this Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer Reference is made to Item 3 for a description of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Payment Agreement, the Equity Transfer and Redemption Agreement, the Zhong Lin Loan Agreement, the bank loan agreements between Guangxi Holding and various banks, and the Mortgage and the Supplementary Agreement, and to Item 4 for a description of the CYI Shareholders' Agreement. In addition, Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), CYI has granted two "demand" registration rights to each of the parties to the CYI Shareholders Agreement requiring CYI, subject to certain conditions, to use its best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement on behalf of such shareholder under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to use its best efforts to qualify the shares of Common Stock for offer and sale under any applicable U.S. state securities laws. Expenses incurred in connection with one demand registration for each such shareholder will be borne by CYI, and CYI and GYMCL will be required to indemnify the underwriters in connection with any demand registration. The Registration Rights Agreement also grants each such shareholder certain "piggyback" registration rights entitling each shareholder to sell Common Stock in any registered offerings of equity securities of CYI, for the account of CYI or on behalf of its security holders. The descriptions of (i) the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Payment Agreement, the Equity Transfer and Redemption Agreement, the Mortgage, the Supplementary Agreement, the Zhong Lin Loan Agreement, and the bank loan agreements set forth in Item 3, (ii) the CYI Shareholders Agreement in Item 4, and (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement in this Item 6 are, in all cases, qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete provisions of such agreements, copies of which have been filed or incorporated by reference as Exhibits to this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 1).

Ltd., we (in order to simplify procedure and facilitate our working capital) would now like to request that our entitled share of the interim dividends from Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co. Ltd. for 2001 and 2002 be remitted to our specified bank account. We have discussed with your company, and your company has insisted that our shares (which was originally owned by Everbright Holding Co., Ltd.) are in CYI and not in Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co. Ltd., and as such you did not agree to distribute the dividends from Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co. Ltd. to our company. After checking the relevant documents repeatedly, we have only found a document from China Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation dated December 1994 in regard to Yuchai's IPO. This document clearly states that those shares which were originally owned by Everbright, now owned by our company, are our shares in Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co. Ltd. If your company has evidence to proof your claim as stated above as being valid, and which conforms with China's relevant law, we request that you show us and certify these valid evidence within 3 days. Otherwise, our company shall, base on the direction of the Peoples Government of Yulin City, request Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co. Ltd. to remit our entitled dividends for 2001 and 2002 interim to our specified bank account directly. With Regards, /s/ Qin Xiaocong Qin Xiaocong General Manager Zhong Lin Development Company Limited 20 November 2002

Therefore, we direct your company to redress these matters according to law as soon as possible, to ensure that the equity held by Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Holdings Company enjoys the same rights arising out of or in connection with the same class of shares, and to guarantee and maintain the legal rights and interests of our state-owned assets.
3. Your company should within five days of receipt of this Document require all shareholders to consult and submit resolution proposals to redress and standardize the equity transfer activities in question, and to carry out relevant formalities with legally-designated departments in accordance with law.
