Remarks: 1 Group reorganisation and listing date AKuP International Holding Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 14 June 2000 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands. The Company became the holding company of the Group on 29 October 2001 through a reorganisation (the "Reorganisation"). The Company's shares were listed on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 5 November 2001. 2 Basis of presentation The Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") resulting from the Reorganisation have been regarded as a continuing group. Accordingly the consolidated results have been prepared on the basis of merger accounting in accordance with the Statement of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAP") 27 "Accounting for Group Reconstructions". On this basis, the Company was the holding company of the Group for both periods presented, rather than from 29 October 2001. In the circumstances, the results of the Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2001 and 2002 include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries with effect from 1 January 2001 or since their respective dates of incorporation whichever is a shorter period. In the opinion of the Directors, the resulting consolidated results give a more meaningful view of the results of the Group as a whole. The financial information presented is unaudited but has been reviewed by the Company's audit committee. This third quarterly results announcement form has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The accounting policies and basis of preparation used in the preparation of the third quarterly results announcement form are the same as those used in the 2001 annual accounts, except for the following new or revised SSAPs issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants which have been adopted for the first time in the preparation of the third quarterly results announcement form and are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2002: SSAP 11 (revised) "Foreign currency translation" SSAP 15 (revised) "Cash flow statements" SSAP 25 (revised) "Interim financial reporting" SSAP 26 (revised) "Segment reporting" SSAP 33 "Discontinuing operations" SSAP 34 "Employee benefits" 3 Revenue Revenue represents income arising from the provision of custom-made solutions and maintenance services and the sale of hardware and software products. Revenue excludes value added or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts. 4 Earnings/(loss) per share (a) Basic earnings/(loss) per share The calculation of basic earnings per share for the nine months ended 30 September 2002 is based on the profit attributable to shareholders of HK$7,965,000 divided by 630,000,000 shares in issue during the period. The calculation of basic loss per share for the nine months ended 30 September 2001 is based on the loss attributable to shareholders of HK$10,613,000 divided by 513,000,000 shares after adjusting for the capitalisation issue in 2001 during the period. (b) Diluted earnings/(loss) per share The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended 30 September 2002 is based on the profit attributable to shareholders of HK$7,965,000 and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 633,503,294 shares after adjusting for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Diluted loss per share for the nine months ended 30 September 2001 have not been presented as there were no potential dilutive ordinary shares in issue as at 30 September 2001. |
