3.      Loss per share  

        The calculation of loss per share is based on net loss for the 
year of approximately HK$147,980,000 (2001: HK$76,302,000) and 
2,663,370,147 shares (2001: 2,663,370,147 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.
