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 reorganisation 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 earnings per share is based on 
the Group's profit attributable to shareholders of HK$61,063,000 (1999: 
HK$41,203,000) and on the weighted average of 179,640,984 ordinary shares 
(1999: 113,400,000 ordinary 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:    N/A. Since there is no dilution effect arising from the 
share options granted by the Company.

3. Changes made in comparative figures

Due to the adoption of new SSAP, certain comparative figures have been 
changed in order to comply with the requirements of the SSAP.
