Remarks: 1. Basis of preparation The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the audited consolidated results conform with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and accounting standards issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants. 2. Earnings/(loss) per share (a) Basic The calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share is based on the profit attributable to shareholders of HK$12,598,000 (2002: loss of HK$409,579,000) and the weighted average of 3,583,805,272 (2002:3,301,115,146) ordinary shares in issue during the year. (b) Diluted The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2003 is based on the profit attributable to shareholders of HK$12,598,000 and the weighted average of 3,606,757,274 ordinary shares after adjusting for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, as if all the outstanding share options granted by the Company had been exercied at the date of issuance and the consideration shares to be issued by the Company for the acquisition of subsidiaries had been issued at the date of acquisition. Since all potential ordinary shares arising from the conventible bonds, if coverted into ordinary shares, would increase profit attributable to shareholders per share as a result of the savings on the interest and redemption premium payable and amortisation of borrowing costs, the effects of anti-dilutive potential ordinary shares are ignored in calculating diluted earnings per share. The exercise of share options granted by the Company would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2002. |
