Remarks:

1.      During the year, the Group has adopted, for the first time, the 
revised Statement of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAP") 12 "Income 
Taxes", which is one of the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards 
("HKFRS") issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants ("HKSA").  The 
principal effect of the implementation of SSAP12 (Revised) is in relation 
to deferred taxation.  SSAP 12 (Revised) requires the adoption of a 
balance sheet liability method, whereby deferred taxation is recognised in 
respect of all temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets 
and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax 
bases used in the computation of taxable profit, with limited exceptions.  
In the absence of any specific transitional requirements in SSAP 12 
(Revised), the new accounting policy has been applied retrospectively.  
        
2.      LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss for the 
year of HK$67,205,000 (2003: HK$220,464,000) and on the weighted average 
number of 3,787,620,833 shares (2003: 3,202,436,654 shares) in issue.

The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31st March, 
2004 and 2003 does not assume the conversion of the Company's outstanding 
share options and warrants since their exercise would result in a decrease 
in the net loss per share from the operations.

3.      The Board does not recommend the payment of dividend for the year 
ended 31st March 2004 (2003 : NIL)
