4.      Tax

Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16% (2001: 16%) on 
the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the year. 
Taxes on profits assessable elsewhere have been calculated at the rates of 
tax prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates, based on 
existing legislations, interpretations and practices in respect thereof.

Jointly-controlled entities operating in the People's Republic of China 
(the "PRC") are entitled to an exemption from PRC income tax for two years 
from their first year with assessable profits, and thereafter are entitled 
to a 50% exemption for a further three consecutive years.  No tax 
provision has been made by the jointly-controlled entities for the year, 
either because they did not generate any assessable profits, or because 
they were still entitled to their 100% tax exemption.

                                        Year ended
