Remarks:

1            Basis of preparation 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 "
Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of 
Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been 
reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee and, in accordance with 
Statement of Auditing Standards 700 "Engagements to review interim 
financial reports" issued by the HKICPA, by the Company's auditors.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial 
statements in conformity with HKAS 34 requires management to make 
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of 
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and 
expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these 
estimates.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in preparing these 
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with 
those followed in preparing the Group's annual financial statements for 
the year ended December 31, 2005, except for the adoption of the following 
new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), HKASs 
and Interpretations ("Int") (collectively referred to as "new HKFRSs") 
which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 
1, 2006:

(i)     Amendment to HKAS 19 Employee Benefits - Actuarial Gains and 
Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures

(ii)    Amendment to HKAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange 
Rates - Net Investment in a    Foreign Operation

(iii)   Amendment to HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement - Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intragroup 
Transactions and The Fair Value Option

(iv)    Amendments to HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement & HKFRS 4 Insurance Contracts - Financial Guarantee Contracts

(v)     HKFRS-Int 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease

The adoption of these new HKFRSs has no material effect on the Group's 
results and financial position for the current or prior periods.

3       Loss per share

The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the Group's loss 
attributable to equity holders for the period of HK$270,517,000 (2005 (
restated): HK$61,266,000) and the 2,990,000,000 shares (2005: 2,990,000,
000 shares) in issue during the period.

There is no dilutive effect upon exercise of the share options on the loss 
per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 since:

(i)     the exercise prices for the share options were above the average 
fair value of the shares; 

(ii)    as at June 30, 2006, the Group had no outstanding share options as 
all outstanding share options granted by the Company under its share 
option scheme adopted on March 1, 2000 had either been cancelled or had 
lapsed under the terms of such share option scheme by August 9, 2005, 
being one month after the date on which the mandatory unconditional cash 
offer made by PCCW Mobile Holding No. 2 Limited, an indirect wholly-owned 
subsidiary of PCCW, became unconditional; and

(iii)   no share options had been granted under the share option scheme 
adopted by the Company on May 22, 2002.
