1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ''Interim
Financial Reporting'' issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified
Public Accountants ("HKICPA") and with the applicable disclosure
requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of
Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation
of these interim financial statements are consistent with those used in
the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005.
In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time,
a number of new standards, amendments and interpretations (new "HKFRSs")
issued by the HKICPA, which are either effective for accounting periods
commencing on or after 1 December 2005 or 1 January 2006. The adoption of
the new HKFRSs had no material effect on the results for current and/or
prior accounting periods. Accordingly, no prior period adjustment has
been required.
HKAS 39 & HKFRS 4 (Amendments) - "Financial Guarantee Contracts"
In prior years, financial guarantee contracts are accounted for under HKAS
37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" and
disclosed as contingent liabilities. In accordance with above amendments,
financial guarantee contracts issued are recognized as financial
liabilities on the balance sheet. Financial guarantee contracts are
initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at the higher
of (i) the amount as provisions determined in accordance with HKAS 37 and
(ii) the amount initially recognized, less, when appropriate, cumulative
amortisation recognized in accordance with HKAS 18 "Revenue". This change
in accounting policy has no material impact on the results of the Group
for the current and prior periods. Accordingly, no prior period
adjustment has been made.
The Group has not early applied the following new standards, amendments or
interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective. The directors
of the Company anticipate the application of these standards, amendments
or interpretations will have no impact on the results and the financial
position of the Group.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the unaudited
consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of the Company of
approximately HK$206,904,000 (30 June 2005 : approximately HK$183,065,000)
and the weighted average of 222,410,803 shares (30 June 2005 : 151,479,017
shares) in issue during the six months ended 30 June 2006.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the adjusted net
profit attributable to equity holders of the Company of HK$207,464,000 (30
June 2005 : HK$184,094,000) and the weighted average of 236,868,978
shares (30 June 2005 : 186,867,570 shares) in issue during the period
adjusted for the effect of all dilutive shares.
The adjusted net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company is
calculated on the net profit for the period of HK$206,904,000 plus the
reduction in interest payable of HK$560,000 as a result of the deemed
conversion of convertible bonds.
The weighted average number of shares used in calculation of diluted
earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average of 222,410
,803 shares in issue during the period plus the weighted average of 14,
458,175 shares deemed to be issued at no consideration as if all the
dilutive potential shares been issued.
