Remarks:

1.      Basis of presentation and comparative figures

In the current year, the Group has adopted Statements of Standard 
Accounting Practice ("SSAP") No. 12 (Revised) "Income Taxes" issued by the 
Hong Kong Society of Accountants.  The principal effect of the 
implementation of the revised standard is in relation to deferred tax.  It 
requires the adoption of a balance sheet liability method, whereby 
deferred tax is recognised in respect of all temporary differences between 
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements 
and the corresponding tax basis 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 in accumulated losses of HK$19,807,000 as at 1st December, 
2002 (a decrease in accumulated profits of HK$28,494,000 as at 1st 
December, 2001) and an increase in the loss for the year of HK$18,059,000 
(2002: a decrease in the loss for the year of HK$8,687,000).

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.
