5.      TAXATION
                        
Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 17.5% (2003: 17.5%) of the 
estimated assessable profit for the period. Taxation in other 
jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective 
jurisdictions.  No provision for taxation has been made as the Group had 
no assessable profits for the period.

The Group did not have any significant movements in deferred taxation for 
the six months ended 30 September 2004.  

6.      DIVIDENDS

No dividends were paid or declared during the period.  The directors do 
not recommend the payment of any interim dividend for the six months ended 
30 September 2004 (For the six months ended 30 September 2003: Nil).


7.      LOSS PER SHARE

The loss per share is calculated based on the loss for the period 
amounting approximately HK$24,708,000 (For the six months ended 30 
September 2003: loss of approximately HK$7,692,000) and 322,272,000 shares 
(For the six months ended 30 September 2003: the weighted average of 223,
800,000 shares) in issue.

No diluted loss per share for the six months ended 30 September 2003 and 
2004 has been presented as the exercise of the Company's outstanding share 
options would result in a decrease in the loss per share for both periods.
