Remarks:

                                     
1.      Basis of presentation and comparative figures

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 
the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules 
Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of the Hong Kong 
Limited and Statement of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAP") 25 "Interim 
Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants.

The condensed financial statements have been prepared under the historical 
cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of investment properties 
and investments in securities. 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, 2002, except as 
described below.

During the period, the Group has adopted SSAP 12 (Revised) "Income Taxes" 
in advance of its effective date.  The principal effect of the 
implementation of SSAP 12 (Revised) is in relation to deferred tax.  SSAP 
12 (Revised) requires the adoption of a balance sheet liability method, 
whereby deferred tax is recognised in respect of all temporary differences 
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the condensed 
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the 
computation of taxable profit, with limited exceptions.  In the absence of 
any specific transitional requirements in SSAP 12 (Revised), the new 
accounting policy has been applied retrospectively.  This change in 
accounting policy has resulted in an increase of accumulated losses of 
HK$19,807,000 as at 1st December 2002.

2.      Turnover

        Turnover represents the aggregate of the amounts received and 
receivable from sales of properties, property rental income and cosmetics 
goods sold to outside customers less returns.
