3.      Earnings/(loss) per share

Earnings / (loss) per share is calculated based on the profit attributable 
to shareholders of the Group for the six months ended 30.06.2004 of 
HK$19,659,000 (6 months ended 30.06.2003 : loss of HK$2,043,000) and 
261,684,910 shares (6 months ended 30.06.2003: 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 year because there was no outstanding option at the period end. No 
diluted loss per share has been presented for the same period last year 
because the exercise of the outstanding options would have no dilutive 
effect for that period.
