III.    Following an extensive review of the Group's financial assets, the 
Board has decided to redesignate certain assets from available-for-sale 
financial assets to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. 
 As part of the implementation of this decision, the Group sold US$21.2 
million of a unit trust managed by PCI Investment Management Limited ("
PCIIM"), a Group company, on 26 June 2006 and purchased US$29.0 million of 
the same unit trust on the same day.  The unit trust of US$21.2 million 
sold was previously classified as available-for-sale financial assets and 
the sale of this unit trust produced a realised gain of HK$49.6 million 
which was recorded in the interim results of the Group.  The US$29.0 
million unit trust purchased had been designated as financial assets at 
fair value through profit or loss and subsequent realised or unrealised 
gains or losses from this unit trust will be recognised in the profit and 
loss account in each financial period.  An unrealised gain of HK$10.4 
million from this unit trust for the period from 26 June 2006 to 30 June 
2006 was included in the interim results of the Group.
