The Directors acknowledge that the Stock Exchange has no responsibility whatsoever with regard to the Information and undertake to indemnify the Exchange against all liability incurred and all losses suffered by the Exchange in connection with or relating to the Information. Remarks: (1) Organisation The Company was incorporated in the People's Republic of China as a joint stock limited liability company on 24 January 1993 and the Company's H Shares were successfully listed on GEM on 30 March 2001. (2) Basis of preparation and principal accounting policies The Group's unaudited consolidated results have been prepared in accordance with Statements of Standard Accounting Practice (the "SSAP") issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and with the disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing Securities on the GEM of the Stock Exchange (the "GEM Listing Rules"). The principal accounting policies adopted in the accounts are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2001 of the Group. (3) Reasons for decrease in turnover and profit For the nine months ended 30 September 2002, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately RMB80,481,000 and a profit attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB3,399,000. This repesented a drop of 3.3% in terms of turnover as compared with the same period last year. The decrease was due to the reasons that the completion and delivery of certain information technology solutions projects were deferred, and that the Group followed the market trend to reduce the price of its products as well as the demand for "TPHMIS Housing Reform Management Information System" was reduced. The deferral of the projects were at the requests of the customers and they are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2002. As the prices were reduced and the relatively low profit margin products and value added services were proportionately increased in the turnover, both the gross profit and the profit from operations were diluted. As a result of the Group's active expansion in the marketing activities, the turnover of the third quarter was increased as compared with the same period last year. Despite the improved gross profit, the third quarter was resulted in a loss due to the rise of operational costs and the drop of subsidy income. The subsidy income was dropped as the Group did not receive financial refund in the third quarter and the sales of certain approved software products, which the Group is entitled tax refund, were reduced. Hence, the Group has taken initiatives to implement cost control measures and to strengthen its management team and enhance its human resources development programmes in order to push the overall profit up again. (4) Earnings per share The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to shareholders for the nine months ended 30 September 2002 of approximately RMB3,399,000 (nine months ended 30 September 2001: approximately RMB25,557,000) and on the weighted average of outstanding 676,000,000 shares for the nine months ended 30 September 2002 (during the nine months ended 30 September 2001: 621,523,810 shares). No diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended 30 September 2001 and 2002 have been presented because there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares in existence during the periods. |
