Remarks:


1. Basis of Presentation

In prior years, deferred tax liabilities were provided using the liability 
method in respect of the taxation effect arising from all material timing 
differences between the accounting and tax treatment of income and 
expenditure, which were expected with reasonable probability to 
crystallise in the foreseeable future.  Deferred tax assets were not 
recognised unless their realisation was assured beyond reasonable doubt.  
With effect from 1 April 2003, in order to comply with Statement of 
Standard Accounting Practice 12 (revised) issued by the Hong Kong Society 
of Accountants, the group adopted a new policy for deferred tax.

As a result of the adoption of this accounting policy, the group's profit 
for the year has been decreased by $440,000 (2003: $200,000) and the net 
assets as at the year end have been decreased by $2,908,000 (2003: 
$2,468,000).

The new accounting policy has been adopted retrospectively, with the 
opening balances of accumulated losses and reserves and the comparative 
information adjusted for the amounts relating to prior periods

2. Earnings per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per share

The calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share is based on the profit 
attributable to shareholders for the year of $32,501,000 and the weighted 
average of 843,843,000 ordinary shares in issue during the year, after 
adjusting for the effects of the Open Offer Shares issued in December 2003 
and the Consideration Shares issued in February 2004. 

Diluted earnings per share

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit 
attributable to ordinary shareholders of $32,501,000 and weighted average 
number of 857,547,000 ordinary shares after adjusting for the effects of 
all dilutive potential ordinary shares for the year ended 31 March 2004.
