SOUNDWILL HOLD<00878> - Further Results Announcement
Market Participants are requested to note that further to the final
results announcement of Soundwill Holdings Limited (the "Company")
released on AMS/3 trading terminal, the Company subsequently notified the
Exchange the remarks as follows:
"(1) Profit/(loss) per share
The calculation of basic and diluted profit/(loss) per share are based on
current year's profit attributable to shareholders for the year of
HK$61,806,000 (31 December 2002: loss of HK$411,771,000).
The basic profit/(loss) per share is based on the weighted average of
62,942,243 shares (31 December 2002: 62,328,043 shares, restated) in issue
during the year.
On 4 April 2003, every 50 issued shares of the Company was consolidated
into 1 issued share (the "Issued Share Consolidation") and the deemed
weighted average number of shares for the year ended 31 December 2002 as
if the Issued Share Consolidation had been occurred on 1 January 2002 was
62,328,043 (3,116,402,151 before restatement) shares.
The diluted profit per share is based on 62,964,997 shares which is the
weighted average number of shares in issue during the year plus the
weighted average of 22,754 shares deemed to be issued if all the
outstanding potential ordinary shares representing 820,000 share options
granted with an exercise price of HK$1.5 per share were exercised.
No diluted loss per share has been calculated for the corresponding year
ended 31 December 2002 because the conversion / exercise of the
outstanding potential ordinary shares would have been anti-dilutive for
the year.
(2) Dividend
The Board is pleased to announce final dividend of HK$0.02 (2002: Nil) per
share for the year ended 31 December 2003 to shareholders whose names
appear on the register of members on 31 May 2004 (the "Record Date").
Subject to the approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming annual
general meeting, the final dividend will be dispatched on or before 18
June 2004.
(3) Bonus issue of shares
On 21 April 2004, the Board announced that it proposed to make a bonus
issue of shares (the "Bonus Issue") on the basis of one bonus shares for
every 5 shares of HK$0.10 each held by the shareholders of the Company
whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Record
Date. Details of the Bonus Issue will be contained in the circular to be
dispatched to the shareholders as soon as practicable.
(4) Change in presentation if comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been restated to conform with the current
period's presentation. There is no impact on the Group's results for the
