2.      LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic loss per share for the period is based on the 
net loss from ordinary activities attributable to shareholders of 
HK$55,585,000 (2002: HK$17,269,000) and the weighted average of 
592,173,426 (2002: 421,461,735) ordinary shares in issue during the 
period.

Diluted loss per share amounts for the current and prior periods have not 
been shown because the potential ordinary shares of the Group outstanding 
during both periods had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per 
share for both periods.


3.      COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 
current period's presentation.
