Remarks:

1.      Basis of preparation
These results have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong 
Kong Financial Reporting Standards, which include all applicable 
Statements of Standard Accounting Practice ("SSAPs") and Interpretations, 
issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants ("HKSA") and the disclosure 
requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.  The financial 
statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the 
Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange.  The 
financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as 
modified by the revaluation of certain investments in securities.

In the current year, the Group has adopted, for the first time, SSAP 12 
(Revised) Income Taxes issued by the HKSA.  The adoption of SSAP 12 
(Revised) has not resulted in any significant change to the current and 
prior years' net assets and results and accordingly, no prior year 
adjustment is required.
