3.      EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The calculation of the basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the net 
profit for the period of HK$4,237,000 (2001: net loss of HK$1,382,000) and 
on 249,000,000 (2001:  249,000,000) shares in issue during the period.

Diluted loss per share for 2001 was not presented as the effect of
