Remarks:

1.  Basis of preparation                        

In the current year, the Group adopted the Statements of Standard 
Accounting Practice ("SSAPs") issued by the Hong Kong Society of 
Accountants which are effective for accounting periods commencing on or 
after 1st January, 2002 :                       

    SSAP 1 (revised)    :       Presentation of financial statements
    SSAP 11 (revised)   :       Foreign currency translation
    SSAP 15 (revised)   :       Cash flow statements
    SSAP 33             :       Discontinuing operations
    SSAP 34             :       Employee benefits                       
                
                                                                
The adoption of these new/revised SSAPs had no material impact on the 
prior year's accounts.

Earnings/(loss) per share is calculated based on the profit attributable 
to shareholders of the Group for the year ended 31.12.2002 of HK$7,252,000 
(31.12.2001 : loss of HK$35,946,000) and 261,684,910 shares (31.12.2001 : 
261,684,910 shares) of the Company in issue during the period.          
                                                
No diluted earnings/(loss) per share has been presented for current and 
prior years because the exercise of the options have no dilutive effect 
for the years.
