Remarks:

(1) Listing date and the basis of presentation of results

(a) The company was incorporated in Bermuda on 26th March 1999 as an 
exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act 1981 
Bermuda (as amended).

(b) On 28th June 1999, pursuant to a group reorganization to rationalise 
the group structure in preparation for the public listing of the company's 
shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"),
the company became the holding company of the group. The company's shares 
were successfully listed on the Stock Exchange on 20th July 1999.

(c) The group reorganisation referred to above has been reflected in the 
accounts by regarding the Group, which comprises the company and its 
subsidiaries, as a continuing entity.  Accordingly, the group accounts
have been prepared on the basis as if the company had been the holding 
company throughout the accounting periods presented.  In the opinion of 
the directors, the consolidated accounts prepared on the above basis 
present more fairly the results and the state of affairs of the group as a 
whole.

(2) Basis of calculation for EPS of the current period

- Basic EPS:

The calculation of basic EPS is based on the profit attributable to the 
shareholders for the six months ended 31 December 1999 of HK$23,605,656 
(1998: HK$12,297,431) and the weighted average of 174,345,653 shares 
(1998: 113,400,000 shares deemed to be in issue) throughout the respective 
period on the summation that the reorganisation of the Group had been 
completed on 1st July 1998.

- Diluted EPS:

Since the Company did not enter into obligation that could dilute the EPS 
in the future as at 31st December, 2000.
