Remarks:

                                   
1.      Impact of new and revised Statement of Standard Accounting 
Practice ("SSAP")

        In the current year, the Group has adopted, for the first time, 
the revised Statement of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAP") 12 "Income 
taxes" issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants ("HKSA") which is 
effective for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2003.

        The principal effect of the implementation of SSAP 12 (Revised) is 
in relation to deferred tax. In previous periods, partial provision was 
made for deferred tax using the profit and loss account liability method, 
i.e. a liability was recognised in respect of timing differences between 
the taxable profit and accounting profit to the extent that a liability or 
an asset was expected to be payable of recoverable in the foreseeable 
future. 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 accounts and the corresponding tax bases used in the 
computation of taxable profits with limited exceptions. 
                                                                           
                In the absence of any specific transitional requirements 
in SSAP 12 (Revised), the new accounting policy has been applied 
retrospectively. Comparative amounts for 2002 have been restated 
accordingly. Opening accumulated profits at 1 January 2003 have been 
increased by HK$7,069,000 which is the cumulative effect of the change in 
policy on the results for periods prior to 2003. The effect of the change 
is an increased charge to income taxes in the current year of HK$274,000.

1/4/2002 to 31/12/2002 :

3.            Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the profit 
attributable to shareholders of HK$181,610,000 (31 Dec 2002(restated): 
HK$101,003,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 
429,236,296 (31 Dec 2002: 402,535,166) in issue during the year.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share is based on the adjusted 
profit attributable to shareholders of HK$181,874,000 (31 Dec 2002
(restated): HK$101,658,000) and on the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares of 431,786,795 (31 Dec 2003: 406,098,384) after adjusting for the 
effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
