Notes:-

1)  The computation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share does not assume 
the exercise of the outstanding share options as the exercise price is 
higher than the fair value per share.

2)  The computation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share does not assume 
the conversion of the Group's outstanding convertible guaranteed bonds 
since their exercise would result in an increase in earnings per share 
(1998: a decrease in loss per share) from continuing ordinary operations.
