4.      Earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit 
attributable to the Company's equity holders of HK$547,423,000 (2004 : 
HK$26,803,000, restated) and on the weighted average of 160,429,944 shares 
(2004 : 111,487,217 shares) in issue during the year.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the adjusted net 
profit attributable to the Company's equity holders of HK$549,981,000 (
2004 : HK$27,328,000, restated) and the weighted average of 223,674,732 
shares (2004: 129,994,685 shares) in issue during the year, adjusted for 
the effects of all dilutive potential shares.

The adjusted net profit attributable to the Company's equity holders is 
calculated on the net profit for the year of HK$547,423,000 plus the 
reduction in interest payable of HK$2,558,000 as a result of the deemed 
conversion of convertible bonds.

The weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of diluted 
earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average of
160,429,944 shares in issue during the year plus the weighted average of 
63,244,788 shares deemed to be issued at no consideration as if all the 
company's dilutive potential shares been issued.
