Remarks:

(1) Earnings per share
The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is based on 
the following data:

                                           1999             1998

Profit attributable to shareholders        HK$142,022,000   HK$101,439,000
                                           ==========       ==============

Weighted average number of ordinary
 shares for the purposes of basic
 earnings per share                        1,134,591,763    1,045,176,525

Effect of dilutive potential ordinary
 shares in respect of share options        9,560,976        N/A
                                           -----------      -----------

Weighted average number of
 ordinary shares for the purposes
 of diluted earnings per share             1,144,152,739    N/A
                                           =========        ===========

The computation of diluted earnings per share in 1999 does not assume the
exercise of the Company's outstanding warrants as the exercise
price is higher than the fair value per share during the year.

No diluted earnings per share is calculated for 1998 as the
exercise price of the Company's outstanding share options was
higher than the fair value per share during the year.

(2) Adoption of statement of standard accounting practice ("SSAP")
certain comparative figures have been restated to conform with
the current presentation as required under SSAP 1 (Revised)
"Presentation of financial statements" issued by the Hong Kong Society
of Accountants.

Because of the adoption of SSAP 1 (Revised), the Group has decided
to expense pre-operating expenses as they are incurred.  The
effect of the adoption of this new accounting policy, which has been 
applied retrospectively, has been to decrease the profit for the year
ended December 31, 1998 by HK$9,636,000.  Comparative figures have been 
restated to reflect this change in accounting policy.
