Remarks:

1.      IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS 
        ("HKFRSs")

The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued a 
number of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and Hong 
Kong Accounting Standards, herein collectively referred to as the new 
HKFRSs, which are generally effective for accounting periods beginning on 
or after 1 January 2005. The Group has not early adopted these new HKFRSs 
in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2004. The Group 
has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but 
is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a 
significant impact on its results of operations and financial position.

2.      BASIS OF PREPARATION
        
The financial results have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong 
Financial Reporting Standards (which also include Statements of Standard 
Accounting Practice and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute 
of Certified Public Accountants, accounting principles generally accepted 
in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies 
Ordinance.   They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, 
except for the periodic remeasurement of certain fixed assets.
