Hong Kong Profits Tax has been provided for at the rate of 16% on the 
estimated assessable profits for the year. Taxation on profits of 
subsidiaries and associates arising outside Hong Kong has been provided 
for in accordance with the relevant local jurisdictions.  The taxation 
credit mainly represents a reversal of provision made upon refund of tax 
paid in previous years at the final resolution of an outstanding tax 
dispute.                                                                
                        
No provision for deferred taxation has been recognised in the financial 
statements as the amount involved is not significant.                   
                                                                
Deferred tax has not been recognised in respect of the deficit arising on 
the revaluation of investment properties and investment securities as 
profits or losses arising on the disposal of these assets would not be 
assessable or allowable for tax purpose.  Accordingly, the revaluation 
does not constitute a timing difference for tax purposes.

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss 
attributable to shareholders of HK$70,972,000 (2000: HK$434,815,000) and 
on 959,899,416 (2000: weighted average number of 790,493,050) ordinary 
shares in issue during the year.
