Remarks:

(1) (a) Basic net income per share

Basic net income per share for the year ended 31 December 2000 has been 
computed by dividing the net income of RMB3,234,051,000 by the weighted 
average number of net income 11,208,224 shares in issue during the year,
assuming the Company had been in existence since 1st January 2000.

Basic net income per share for the year ended 31 December 2001 has been 
computed by dividing the net income of RMB4,456,761,000 by the weighted 
average number of 12,552,996,000 shares in issue during the year.

(b) Diluted net income per share

For the year ended 31 December 2000, the calculation of diluted net income 
per share has been computed by dividing the net income of RMB3,234,051,000 
by the weighted average number of 11,219,679,000 shares in issue during 
the year, after adjusting for the effects of the dilutive potential 
ordinary shares.  All dilutive potential ordinary shares arise from share 
options granted to the Directors or Senior Management under the Pre-Global
Offering Share Option Scheme, share warrants as described in Remark 2 and 
the over-allotment options granted to the underwriters, which if converted 
to ordinary shares would decrease profit attributable to shareholders per 
share.

For the year ended 31 December 2001, all potential ordinary shares arise 
from share options granted under the Pre-Global Offering Share Option 
Scheme and additional Share Option granted under the Share Option
Scheme.  No dilution was resulted on the net income per share for the 
current year after taking into account the potential dilutive effect of 
the conversion of the share options.

(2) CCF Arrangements represented the financing arrangement entered into by 
the predecessor telecommunications businesses of the Group with certain
contractual joint venture companies ("CJVs") established in the PRC for 
the development of the Group's telecommunication networks.  All the CCF 
Arrangements have been terminated before 30th June 2000 and compensations 
were paid to the CJVs in the form of cash and share warrants.

As of 31 December 2001, all the warrants have expired and no warrants have 
been exercised by these CJVs or their designees.
