Remarks: 1. Basis of preparation The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountant ("HKICPA" ) has undertaken to converge by 1 January 2005 all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As a result, the HKICPA had aligned HKFRSs with the requirements of IFRSs in all material respects as at 31 December 2004. The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The adoption of HKFRS 2 has resulted in a change in accounting policy for employee share options. Prior to this, the provision of share options to employees did not result in a charge to the profit and loss account. Following the adoption of HKFRS 2, the fair value of share options at grant date is amortised over the relevant vesting periods to the profit and loss account. The Company has not applied this HKFRS retrospectively as share options of the Company granted after 7 November 2002 had vested at 1 January 2005. The adoption of HKFRS 3 has resulted in a change in the accounting policy for negative goodwill. Prior to this, negative goodwill was recognized as income on a straight-line basis in the profit and loss account over the remaining weighted average useful life of assets acquired of 30 years. In accordance with the provision of HKFRS 3, the carrying amount of negative goodwill as at 1 January 2005 shall be derecognized with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, which increased the retained earnings by approximately RMB12,366,000. The adoption of other new HKFRSs does not result in substantial changes to the Group's accounting policies except certain presentation and disclosure of the accounts will be affected. 2. Turnover Turnover represents the net amounts received and receivable for chemical products and chemical fertilizers sold, less returns and allowances and value-added taxes, if applicable, during the nine months period.

Taxation No provision for profits tax in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands or Hong Kong has been made, as the Group had no assessable profit arising in or derived from those jurisdictions during the nine months ended 30 September 2006. Chengdu Ko Yo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. ("Chengdu Ko Yo Chemical"), Chengdu Ko Yo Compound Fertilisers Co., Ltd. ("Chengdu Ko Yo Compound"), Dezhou Ko Yo Compound Fertiliser Co., Ltd. ("Dezhou Ko Yo Compound"), Dazhou City Dazhu Ko Yo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. ("Dazhu Ko Yo Chemical") and Qingdao Ko Yo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. ("Qingdao Ko Yo Chemical") were established as foreign Investment enterprises in the PRC. They are subject to Enterprise Income Tax ("EIT") at the rate of 15%, 15%, 33%, 15%, and 15% respectively, and are entitled to full exemption from EIT in the first two profitable years and a 50% reduction for the next three years thereafter. The preferential EIT rate applicable for Chengdu Ko Yo Chemical in 2006 is 15%. Pursuant to relevant taxation regulations of the PRC and as approved by the local taxation bureau, Chengdu Ko Yo Chemical was entitled to deduct from its EIT expenses for an amount of 40% of cost of certain machinery acquired from the PRC enterprises, which are local machinery suppliers and unrelated to the Group. Accordingly, EIT provision made for Chengdu Ko Yo Chemical for the nine months ended 30 September 2006 was approximately RMB4,243,000. The EIT provision made for and preferential EIT rate applicable to Chengdu Ko Yo Compound for the nine months ended 30 September 2006 are approximately RMB620,000 and 7.5% respectively. Dezhou Ko Yo Compound, Dazhu Ko Yo Chemical and Qingdao Ko Yo Chemical did not have taxable profit for the nine months ended 30 September 2006. Taxation in income statements represents the provision for EIT and net movement of deferred tax liabilities. 4. Earnings per share The calculation of the basic earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended 30 September 2006 were based on the unaudited consolidated profit attributable to shareholders of the Company of approximately RMB6,899,000 and RMB35,134,000 for the relevant periods (2005: RMB13,037,000 and RMB38,185,000) and on the weighted average number of shares of approximately 505,820,000 and 463,974,000 ordinary shares in issue during the relevant periods (2005: 421,820,000 for three months and nine months). Diluted earning per share for the three months and nine months ended 30 September 2006 is based on the weighted average number of shares together with the effect of dilutive potential shares on the outstanding share options of approximately 507,878,000 and 465,628,000 for the relevant periods. In year 2005, diluted earning per share was not presented as there was no dilutive potential share. 5. Dividend The Board does not recommend the payment of interim dividend for the three months ended 30 September 2006 (30 September 2005: Nil). |
