2.      LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the net loss for 
the period of HK$1,382,000 (2000: loss of HK$19,756,000) and on 
249,000,000 (2000: 229,000,000) shares in issue during the period.

Diluted loss per share is not presented as the exercise price of the 
outstanding share options is higher than the fair value per share and 
accordingly the computation of diluted loss per share does not assume 
their exercise.
