(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

The calculation of basic earnings per share was based on the profit for 
the year of HK$231,491,000 (1998: HK$208,933,000) and on the weighted 
average number of 1,039,744,000 (1998: 1,037,500,000) shares in issue 
during the year.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share was based on the net profit 
for the year HK$231,491,000 (1998: HK$208,933,000) adjusted for the 
interest on convertible bonds of approximately HK$11,234,000 (1998:      
HK$13,401,000) and the diluted weighted average number of 1,147,168,128 
(1998: 1,165,637,195) shares in issue during the year.

The diluted weighted average number of shares has calculated after taking 
into consideration of the outstanding convertible bonds and share options 
as of 31st December, 1999. The effect of the dilutive potential ordinary
shares that would result from conversion of the outstanding convertible 
bonds on the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year 
was 107,424,128 (1998: 128,137,195) shares.

The adjustment to comparative basic and diluted earnings per share arising 
from the changes in accounting policy noted below is as follows:
