A substantial portion of the Group's profit neither arises in, nor is 
derived from, Hong Kong.  Accordingly, that portion of the Group's profit 
is not subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax.

Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 16% (1998: 16.5%) of the estimated 
assessable profit for the year.

Overseas taxation is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective 
jurisdictions.

(2) Loss Per Share

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss for the 
year of HK$503,516,360 (1998: HK$247,860,509) and on the weighted average 
number of 2,376,775,620 (1998: 1,619,107,591) ordinary shares
in issue.

No diluted loss per share has been presented because the exercise prices 
of the Company's share options were higher than the average market price 
of the Company's shares for both years.
