1.      BASIS OF PREPARATION

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

During 2002, the Group changed its financial accounting year end date from 
31 March to 31 December, with the first financial period after the change 
being from 1 April 2002 to 31 December 2002. As part of the Group's 
globalisation plan, this change enhances financial reporting harmonisation 
with the Group's European subsidiaries and its joint stock company in the 
People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), and the Group as a whole is now 
more comparable to its major global competitors.  As a result of this 
change in the financial year end date, the condensed consolidated 
financial statement for the current 6 month period cover a period from 1 
January 2003 to 30 June 2003, while the comparative amounts for the 
condensed consolidated profit and loss account cover the 6 month period 
from 1 April 2002 to 30 September 2002.
        
2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The accounting policies used in the preparation of this unaudited 
condensed consolidated interim financial statement is the same as those 
used in the Group's audited financial statements for the period from 1 
April 2002 to 31 December 2002, except for the revised SSAP 12, "Income 
Taxes", which has been adopted for the first time in the preparation of 
the current period's condensed consolidated financial statements.

        SSAP 12 prescribes the basis for accounting for income taxes 
payable or recoverable, arising from the taxable profit or loss for the 
current period (current tax); and income taxes payable or recoverable in 
future periods, principally arising from taxable and deductible temporary 
differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses (deferred tax).  The 
principal impact of the revision of this SSAP on this condensed 
consolidated financial statement is that deferred tax assets and 
liabilities relating to the differences between capital allowances for tax 
purposes and depreciation for financial reporting purposes and other 
taxable and deductible temporary differences are generally fully provided 
for, whereas previously the deferred tax was recognised for timing 
differences only to the extent that it was probable that the deferred tax 
asset or liability would crystallise in the foreseeable future.  In 
addition, a deferred tax liability has been recognised on the revaluation 
of the Group's land and buildings.  In the absence of any specific 
transitional requirements in the revised SSAP 12, the new accounting 
policy has been applied retrospectively. 

This change in accounting policy has reported net profit from ordinary 
activities attributable to shareholders for the period ended 30 September 
2002 has been restated by a reduction of HK$1,569,000 with the provision 
of deferred tax for that period.

4.      COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS

As further explained in note 1 to the financial statements, due to the 
adoption of a revised SSAP during the current period, the accounting 
treatment and presentation of certain items and balances in the financial 
statements have been revised to comply with the new requirements.  
Accordingly, certain comparative amounts have been restated to conform 
with the current period's presentation.
