1       POTENTIAL IMPACT ARISING FROM THE RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING 
STANDARDS                                                                  
                                                                        
        In the current year, the Group has adopted a number of new Hong 
Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS"s), Hong Kong Accounting 
Standards ("HKASs") and Interpretations (hereinafter collectively referred 
to as "new HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public 
Accountants that are relevant to its operations and effective for 
accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. The application 
of the new HKFRSs has resulted in a change in the presentation of the 
income statement, balance sheet and the statement of changes in equity. In 
particular:                                                                
        
        HKAS1 - Presentation of Financial Statements                       
     
        HKAS 1 has affected the presentation of minority interests on the 
face of the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and other disclosures.  In 
addition, in prior periods, the Group's share of tax attributable to 
associates was presented as a component of the Group's total tax charge in 
the consolidated income statement.  Upon the adoption of HKAS 1, the 
Group's share of the post-acquisition results of associates is presented 
net of the Group's share of tax attributable to associates. The changes in 
presentation have been adopted retrospectively.                            
                                        
        HKAS 17 - Leases and HK-Int 4 - Leases - Determination of the 
Length of Lease Term in respect of Hong Kong Land Leases                   

        In prior years, leasehold land and buildings held for own use were 
stated at valuation less accumulated depreciation and any impairment 
losses.                                                                    
       
        Upon the adoption of HKAS 17, the Group's leasehold interest in 
land and buildings is separated into leasehold land and leasehold 
buildings.  The Group's leasehold land is classified as an operating 
lease, because the title of the land is not expected to pass to the Group 
by the end of the lease term, and is reclassified from property, plant and 
equipment to prepaid land lease payments, while leasehold buildings 
continue to be classified as part of property, plant and equipment.  
Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at 
cost and subsequently amortised on the straight-line basis over the lease 
term.                                                                      
     
        The comparative amounts for the year ended 31 March 2005 in the 
consolidated balance sheet have been restated to reflect the 
reclassification of the leasehold land.                                    
                                
        HKAS 32 and HKAS 39 - Financial Instruments                        
                                                             
        Equity securities

In prior years, the Group classified its 
investments in equity securities as long term investments, which were held 
for non-trading purposes and were stated at cost less any impairment 
losses.  Upon the adoption of HKAS 39, these securities held by the Group 
at 1 April 2005 were designated as available-for-sale investment under the 
transitional provisions of HKAS 39 and accordingly are stated at fair 
value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of 
equity until subsequent derecognition or impairment.                    
                                                
        In accordance with the transitional provisions of HKAS 39, the 
opening balance of investment revaluation reserve has been restated to 
reflect this change prospectively.                                         
                                
        HKFRS 3 - Business Combinations and HKAS 36 - Impairment of Assets 
        
        In prior years, goodwill and negative goodwill arising on 
acquisitions prior to 1 January 2001 were eliminated against the 
consolidated capital reserve in the year of acquisition and were not 
recognised in the income statement until disposal or impairment of the 
acquired businesses. 

Goodwill arising on acquisitions on or after 1 January 2001 was 
capitalised and amortised on the straight-line basis over its estimated 
useful life and was subject to impairment testing when there was any 
indication of impairment.  

The adoption of HKFRS 3 and HKAS 36 has resulted in the Group ceasing 
annual goodwill amortisation and commencing testing for impairment at the 
cash-generating unit level annually (or more frequently if events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired
).

Any excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquirees' 
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost 
of the acquisition of subsidiaries (previously referred to as negative 
goodwill), after reassessment, is recognised immediately in the income 
statement.
        
        The transitional provisions of HKFRS 3 have required the Group to 
eliminate at 1 April 2005 the carrying amounts of accumulated amortisation 
with a corresponding adjustment to the cost of goodwill and to derecognise 
at 1 April 2005 the carrying amounts of negative goodwill that remained in 
the consolidated capital reserve against retained profits.  Goodwill 
previously eliminated against the consolidated capital reserve remains 
eliminated against the consolidated capital reserve and is not recognised 
in the income statement when all or part of the business to which the 
goodwill relates is disposed of or when a cash-generating unit to which 
the goodwill relates becomes impaired.                                     
                                
        HKFRS 2 - Share-based Payment                                      
                                                                
        In prior years, no recognition and measurement of share-based 
payment transactions in which employees (including directors) were granted 
share options over shares in the Company were required until such options 
were exercised by employees, at which time the share capital and share 
premium were credited with the proceeds received.

Upon the adoption of HKFRS 2, when employees (including directors) render 
services as consideration for equity instruments ("equity-settled 
transactions"), the cost of the equity-settled transactions with 
employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which 
the instruments are granted.

The main impact of HKFRS 2 on the Group is the recognition of the cost of 
these transactions and a corresponding entry to equity for employee share 
options.  

The Group has adopted the transitional provisions of HKFRS 2 under which 
the new measurement policies have not been applied to (i) options granted 
to employees on or before 7 November 2002; and (ii) options granted to 
employees after 7 November 2002 but which had vested before 1 April 2005.
     
As the Group did not have any employee share options which were granted 
during the period from 7 November 2002 to 31 March 2005 but had not yet 
vested as at 1 April 2005, the adoption of HKFRS 2 has had no impact on 
the retained profits as at 31 March 2004 and 2005.  The Group has 
recognised the cost of options which were granted during the year in the 
current year's income statement in accordance with the revised accounting 
policy.                                                                    
        
        HKFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued 
Operations                                                                 
     
        The Group has applied HKFRS 5 prospectively in accordance with 
the transitional provisions of HKFRS 5, which has resulted in a change in 
accounting policy on the recognition of a discontinued operation.  Under 
the previous Statement of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAP") 33 
"Discontinuing Operations", the Group would recognise a discontinued 
operation at the earlier of:

-  the date the Group entered into a binding sale agreement; and

-  the date the board of directors had approved and announced a formal 
disposal plan.
        
       HKFRS 5 requires a component of the Group to be classified as 
discontinued when the criteria to be classified as held for sale have been 
met or when that component of the Group has been disposed of.  An item is 
classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered 
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. 
 Such a component represents a separate major line of business or 
geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to 
dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of 
operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.  
The principal impact of this change in accounting policy is that a 
discontinued operation is recognised by the Group at a later point than it 
would be under SSAP 33 due to the stricter criteria in HKFRS 5, and that 
the income statement for the year ended 31 March 2005 attributable to the 
discontinued operation have been reclassified to the "profit for the year 
from a discontinued operation" on the face of the consolidated income 
statement of the Group                                                     

2       SEGMENT INFORMATION                                                

        Segment information is presented by way of two segment formats: (
i) on a primary segment reporting basis, by business segment; and (ii) on 
a secondary segment reporting basis, by geographical segment.              
                                                        
        The Group's operating businesses are structured and managed 
separately, according to the nature of their operations and the products 
and services they provide.  Each of the Group's business segments 
represents a strategic business unit that offers products and services 
which are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of 
the other business segments.  Summary details of the business segments are 
as follows:                                                                
             
(a) the construction business segment is engaged in construction contract 
work as a main contractor as well as the provision of contracting 
intelligent building engineering and electrical and mechanical engineering 
services;                                                                  
     
(b) the property development of residential and commercial properties; and 
                                                                           
(c) the fitness centre operation and related business segment is engaged 
in the operation of fitness centres, trading of fitness and medical 
equipment and the provision of related installation and maintenance 
services.                                                                  
     
In prior year, the Group through its non-wholly- owned subsidiary, Chinese 
People Gas Holdings Company Limited ("CPG"), acquired the entire interest 
in Xin Hua Resources Investment Limited ("Xin Hua") for consideration of 
HK$96,772,000.  Xin Hua and its subsidiaries are engaged in natural gas 
business in Mainland China.  The segment of natural gas business is 
regarded as a new business of the Group upon the completion of 
acquisition.  However, following the disposal of the Group's entire 
interest in CPG in prior year, the natural gas business was discontinued.  
                                                                           
In determining the Group's geographical segments, revenues are attributed 
to the segments based on the location of customers, and assets are 
attributed to the segments based on the location of the assets.            
        
Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted with reference to the 
selling prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing 
market prices.
