Remarks:
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("HKICPA") has issued a number of new and revised Hong
Kong Financial Reporting Standards and Hong Kong Accounting
Standards ("HKAS") (collectively "HKFRSs") which are
effective for accounting periods beginning on or after
1st January, 2005. The Group has adopted these HKFRSs in
the accounts for the year ending 31st December, 2005.
The unaudited consolidated profit and loss account is
extracted from the unaudited consolidated accounts of
the Company which have been prepared in accordance with
HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, and the disclosure requirements
of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the
Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange of Hong
Kong ("the GEM Listing Rules"). They have been prepared
under the historical cost convention, as modified by the
revaluation of financial instruments at fair value. The
applicable new HKFRSs are set out below :
HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
HKAS 2 Inventories
HKAS 7 Cash Flow Statements
HKAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors
HKAS 10 Events after Balance Sheet Date

HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment
HKFRS 3 Business Combinations
All new standards adopted by the Group require
retrospective application other than those
specifically allowed under the transitional provisions
in the relevant standards. The following is a summary
of significant changes to the principal accounting
policies adopted in the preparation of the 2004 annual
accounts as a result of the adoption of the new HKFRSs
in 2005.
(a) HKAS17 Leases
The adoption of HKAS 17 has resulted in a change
in accounting policy relating to leasehold land.
Leasehold land was previously stated at fair
value. In accordance with the provisions of
HKAS 17, leasehold properties are split into
a lease of land and a lease of building in
proportion to the relative fair values of
the interests in the land element and the
building element of the lease at the inception
of the lease. The lease premium for leasehold
land is stated at cost and amortised over
the period of the lease. HKAS 17 has been
applied retrospectively.
Building portion of freehold and leasehold
properties was previously stated at fair value.
Following the adoption of HKAS 17 where
leasehold land is subject to amortisation, the
accounting policy on buildings is changed and
buildings are now stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment. This
change in accounting policy has been applied
retrospectively.
As of 1st January, 2005, the effect of these
changes in accounting policies is to decrease
the net book value of freehold and leasehold
properties by HK$9,462,000 (1st January, 2004 :
to increase by HK$7,117,000), to increase
deferred tax assets by HK$1,370,000
(1st January, 2004 : to decrease by HK$280,000),
to decrease deferred tax liabilities by
HK$894,000 (1st January, 2004 : to increase
by HK$120,000), to increase retained earnings by
by HK$5,333,000 (1st January, 2004 : HK$9,837,000)
and to decrease properties revaluation reserve
by HK$12,531,000 (1st January, 2004 :
HK$3,120,000) respectively.
(b) HKFRS 3 Business Combinations; HKAS 36
Impairment of Assets and HKAS 38 Intangible Assets
The adoption has resulted in a change in
accounting policy for goodwill. Goodwill was
previously amortised on a straight-line
basis over a period of not exceeding 20 years,
and assessed for impairment at each balance
sheet date.
Under HKFRS 3, goodwill is no longer amortised.
Instead, it is tested for impairment annually,
or more frequently, if events or changes in
circumstances indicate a possible impairment.
Any excess of fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired over cost is recognised
immediately as income under HKFRS 3. However,
HKFRS 3 requires, if an entity previously
recognised goodwill as a deduction from equity,
it shall not recognise that goodwill in profit
and loss account when it disposes of all or part
of the business to which that goodwill relates
or when a cash-generating unit to which the
goodwill relates becomes impaired. There is no
transitional arrangement for goodwill which has
previously been eliminated against reserves as
a matter of accounting policy.
HKFRS 3 is applied prospectively from
1st January, 2005. Under the transitional
provision of HKFRS 3, the Group has to cease
amortisation of goodwill from 1st January, 2005,
and the negative goodwill previously recognised
has to be derecognised as at 1st January, 2005,
with a corresponding adjustment to the
opening retained earnings.
As of 1st January, 2005, the effect of these
changes in accounting policies is to decrease
the capital reserve by HK$162,000 and to
increase the retained earnings by the same
amount.
(c) HKAS 32 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and
Presentation and HKAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement
HKAS 32 and HKAS 39 establish principles for
disclosure, presentation, recognition and
measurement of financial instruments,
including non-derivative financial assets,
non-derivative financial liabilities and
derivative instruments for hedging activities.
Under HKAS 39, financial instruments will be
carried at either amortised cost or fair value,
depending on their classification. Movements in
fair value will be either charged to net profit
or loss or taken to equity in accordance with
the standard. In addition, all derivatives,
including those embedded in non-derivatives
host contracts are recognised in the balance
sheet at fair value. The effect of adopting
HKAS 39 is insignificant to the accounts.
2. Taxation
(i) Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of
17.5% (2004 : 17.5%) on the estimated assessable profits for
the nine months ended 30th September, 2005.
(ii) Taxation on overseas profits has been calculated on the
estimated assessable profits for the nine months ended
30th September, 2005 at the rates of taxation prevailing in
the countries in which the Group operates.
3. Dividend
The Directors of the Company do not recommend the payment of
an interim dividend for the nine months ended 30th September,
2005 (2004 : Nil).
4. Earnings per share
Basic loss per share for the nine months ended
30th September, 2005 is calculated based on
the loss of HK$11,509,000 attributable to equity
holders of the Company (2004 : profit of HK$58,343,000)
and on the weighted average number of
1,945,696,565 shares (2004 : 1,945,696,565 shares)
in issue during the period.
Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended
30th September 2005 is not presented as there were no
dilutive potential shares as at 30th September, 2005.
