Remarks:

                                  
1.      Adoption of revised Statement of Standard Accounting practice 
("SSAP")

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these audited 
consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the 
Group's audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2002 
except the adoption of SSAP 12 (Revised) "Income taxes" which is effective 
for the first time for the accounting period commencing on or after 1 
January 2003.

Opening retained earnings at 1 January 2002 have been decreased by 
HK$900,000, which is the cumulative effect of the change in policy on the 
results for periods prior to 2002. The effect of the change was not 
significant for the year ended 31 December 2002.

2.      Capital Reorganisation

Pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by the shareholders at an 
Extraordinary General Meeting held on 4 December 2003 ("EGM"), the 
authorised share capital of the Company has been increased from 
HK$50,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares of HK$0.10 each to 
HK$100,000,000 by the creation of an addition 500,000,000 unissued shares 
of HK$0.10 each.

Following the above, a capital reorganisation scheme was also approved by 
the shareholders at the EGM as a special resolution.  Under the capital 
reorganisation scheme, 

(a)     the nominal value of the issued share of the Company be reduced 
from HK$0.10 each to HK$0.01 each by the cancellation of HK$0.09 paid up 
on each issued share (each a "New Share");

(b)     each of the authorised but unissued shares of HK$0.10 each be 
subdivided into 10 New Share;

As a result of the capital reorganisation, an amount of HK$38,868,750 
standing to the credit of the share capital account of the Company was 
cancelled and credited to the contributed surplus account of the Company 
which may be utilised in accordance with the bye-laws of the Company and 
the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda and had been fully applied to the set-
off of part of the accumulated losses brought forward from prior years.

As at the balance sheet date, the authorised share capital of the Company 
was HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 New Shares, of which 
2,591,150,000 have been issued.
