Remarks:

                                   
1.      No analysis of turnover and profit from continuing operations and 
discontinued operations is made as all turnover and profit is derived from 
continuing operations in both years.

2.      The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the net 
profit attributable to shareholders for the year of HK$222,523,000 (2003: 
HK$240,519,000) and the weighted average number of 2,861,574,074 (2003: 
2,446,290,127) ordinary shares in issue during the year.

        The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the net 
profit attributable to shareholders for the year of HK$222,523,000 (2003: 
HK$241,191,000) and on 2,957,178,847 (2003: 2,547,615,290) ordinary 
shares, being the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential ordinary 
shares outstanding during the year.

3.      The directors of the Company proposed the payment of a final 
dividend of HK 1.8 cents per ordinary share for the year ended 30 June 
2004, payable to shareholders whose names appear on the Register of 
Members of the Company on 29 November 2004.  Dividend warrants are to be 
dispatched to the shareholders on or about 8 December 2004.
