Remarks:

1 . Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong 
Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS") issued by the Hong Kong 
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").  The term of HKFRS 
is inclusive of all Statements of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAP") 
and Interpretations approved by the HKICPA.  The accounts have been 
prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the 
revaluation of certain land and buildings, plant and machinery, investment 
securities and trading investments.

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRS and Hong Kong 
Accounting Standards ("new HKFRSs") which are effective for accounting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005.  The Group has not early 
adopted these new HKFRSs in the accounts for the year ended 31 December 
2004.  The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of 
these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new 
HKFRSs would have a significant impact on its results of operations and 
financial position.

recommended a final dividend of HK2.0 cents per ordinary share for the 
year ended 31 December 2004.  This proposed dividend is not reflected as a 
dividend payable in these accounts, but will be reflected as an 
appropriation of retained profits for the year ending 31 December 2005.

3. Earnings per share

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share are based on the 
Group's profit attributable to shareholders of approximately 
HK$176,220,000 (2003: HK$82,935,000).  The basic earnings per share is 
based on the weighted average number of 1,555,791,014 (2003: 
1,504,118,411) ordinary shares in issue during the year.

The diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2004 is 
based on 1,591,898,622 (2003: 1,507,682,404) ordinary shares which is the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year plus 
the weighted average number of 36,107,608 (2003: 3,563,993) ordinary 
shares deemed to be issued at no consideration if all outstanding options 
had been exercised.
