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, "Share of loss of 
associates" has been adjusted from HK$62,491,000 to HK$60,662,000,  
"Profit/(Loss) after Taxation & MI" and "Profit/(Loss) after ETD Items" 
for the last corresponding period have been adjusted from HK$395,183,000 
to HK$398,750,000 and loss per share is unchanged.

2. The Group's turnover for the year ended 30th June, 2004 amounted to 
approximately HK$93 million and the analysis by business segments is as 
follows:

4. Earnings/(loss) per share
                        
(a)     Basic earnings/(loss) per share

The calculation of earnings/(loss) per share is based on the profit 
attributable to shareholders of HK$15,752,000 (2003 (restated): loss of 
HK$398,750,000) and on the weighted average of 497,113,637 ordinary shares 
(2003: 496,776,205 ordinary shares) in issue during the year. 

(b)     Diluted earnings/(loss) per share

Diluted earnings per share for the year is not shown as the existence of 
outstanding options during the year ended 30th June, 2004 has an anti-
dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the 
year. There was no potential dilution of loss per share during the 
corresponding period in 2003.
