1. Basis of presentation and comparative figures                        
                                                                
The condensed financial statements have been prepared under the historical 
cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of investment properties 
and other investments.  The accounting policies adopted are consistent 
with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial 
statements for the year ended 30th November, 2001, except as described 
below.                                                                  
        
During the period, the Group has adopted the Statement of Standard 
Accounting Practice ("SSAP") 1 (Revised) "Presentation of Financial 
Statements"  issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants in advance of 
their effective dates.  The revised standards have introduced revised 
disclosure requirements which have been adopted in these condensed 
financial statements.  Comparative amounts for the prior period have been 
restated in order to achieve a consistent presentation.                 
        
2. Turnover

Hong Kong Profits Tax has been provided for at the rate of 16% on the 
estimated assessable profits for the period. 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 in 2001 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 surplus or 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.   

10. Loss per share                                                      
                                                        
The calculation of the loss per share is based on the loss attributable to 
shareholders for the six months ended 31st May, 2002 of HK$929,000 (period 
ended 31st May, 2001: HK$11,151,000) and on the 959,899,416 (period ended 
31st May, 2001: 959,899,416) ordinary shares in issue throughout the 
period.
