Remarks:

1) The Group has changed its accounting policy following its adoption of the Hong Kong 
Statement of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAP") 12 "Income Taxes"  issued 
by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants which is effective for accounting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2003.

The change in the accounting policy has been applied retrospectively so that the 
comparative figures presented have been restated to conform with the changed policy.

The opening retained earnings as at 1 March 2002 and 2003 have increased by 
HK$2,051,000 and HK$2,365,000, respectively, the opening investment properties 
revaluation reserve as at 1 March 2002 and 2003 have decreased by HK$1,307,000 and 
HK$1,252,000, respectively, and the opening other properties revaluation reserve as at 
1 
March 2002 and 2003 have decreased by HK$430,000 and HK$412,000, respectively, 
which represent the underprovided net deferred tax assets/liabilities.  This change has 
resulted in an increase in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as at 28 
February 
2003 by HK$2,366,000 and HK$1,665,000, respectively.  The profit and amount charged 
to equity for the year ended 28 February 2003 have increased by HK$314,000, 
respectively.

2) The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the Group's profit attributable 
to shareholders of HK$66,090,000 (2003 (as restated): HK$48,999,000) and the weighted 
average of 254,530,000 (2003: 254,530,000) ordinary shares in issue during the 
year .

There is no diluted earnings per share since the Company has no dilutive potential 
ordinary share.

3) On 1 March 2003, Hornet Agents Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 
entered into a disposal agreement to dispose of its "teenmix" trademark, which is  
developed by the Group, to an independent third party at a consideration of 
HK$8,241,000.  The disposal completed on 3 March 2003.
