Remarks:

1. As a result of the adoption of the revised SSAP 12 "Income Taxes" which 
is effective as from 1st July, 2003, deferred taxation is provided in 
full, using the liability method, on the temporary differences arising 
between the tax bases of assets / liabilities and their carrying amounts 
in the accounts subject to limited exceptions.

The adoption of the revised SSAP 12 represents a change in accounting 
policy, which requires retrospective adjustment to the comparative figures 
of the last corresponding period.  Accordingly, "Loss after Taxation & MI" 
and "Loss after ETD Items" for the last corresponding period have been 
adjusted from HK$98,074,000 to HK$104,494,000 and loss per share from 
HK$0.20 to HK$0.21.

2. The Group's turnover for the six months ended 31st December, 2003 
amounted to approximately HK$52 million and the analysis by business 
segments is as follows:

4. Loss per share
                        
(a)     Basic loss per share

The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable 
to shareholders of HK$31,724,000 (2002 restated: HK$104,494,000) and on 
496,776,205 ordinary shares (2002: 496,776,205 ordinary shares) in issue 
during the period.

(b)     Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share for the period is not shown as the existence of 
outstanding options during the period ended 31st December, 2003 has an 
anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted loss per share for the 
period.  There was no potential dilution of loss per share during the 
corresponding period in 2002.
