3.      Loss per share                                                  

The calculation of loss per share is based on net loss for the 
year of approximately HK$76,302,000 (2000: HK$425,420,000) and 
2,663,370,147 shares (2000: a weighted average of 2,178,479,003 shares)
in issue during the year.

No diluted loss per share has been calculated as the exercise of 
the share options would result in a decrease in loss per share for both 
years.
