Remarks: Remarks: 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements of Phoenix Satellite Television Holdings Limited have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which is carried at fair value. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements. In 2005, the Group adopted the new/revised Hong Kong Accounting Standards, Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations of HKAS (together "HKFRS"), which are relevant to its operations are disclosed in Note 2(a) to the financial statements. The 2004 comparatives have been amended as required, in accordance with the relevant requirements. Except for those disclosed in Note 2(a) to the financial statements, the adoption of the HKFRS did not result in substantial changes to the Group's accounting policies, financial statement disclosures or presentation as compared to that used in the preparation of the annual financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2004. 2.

Subsequent to third quarter of 2005, the Group changed the presentation of its advertising revenue by reporting the advertising (broadcasting and magazines) revenue net of related agency commission expenses, as in the opinion of the Directors, this presentation improves the comparability to similar companies in the Group's industry and also provides more relevant information on the revenue transactions. This change has no effect to the income statement of the Group. As a result of this change which has been retroactively applied, the revenue and operating expenses for the current year and the comparative figures for 2004 have been reduced by approximately HK$166,575,000 and HK$153,388,000 for the years ended 31 December 2005 and 2004, respectively. 3.
