3. (Loss)/earnings per share                       

(a)     Basic (loss) / earnings per share
The calculation of basic (loss) / earnings per share is based on the loss 
attributable to shareholders of HK$98,074,000 (2001: profit HK$89,208,000) 
and on 496,776,205 ordinary shares (2001: 496,776,205 ordinary shares) in 
issue during the period.

(b)     Diluted (loss) / earnings per share 
Diluted (loss) per share for the period is not shown as the existence of 
outstanding options during the period ended 31st December, 2002 has an 
anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted (loss) per share for
the period.  There was no potential dilution of earnings per share during
the corresponding period in 2001.
