1.      Accounting Policies                                                     
                
        In current year, the Group has adopted a number of new and revised 
Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and Hong Kong Accounting Standards 
("new HKFRSs") that are effective for accounting periods commencing on or 
after 1 January 2005.  The adoption of the new HKFRSs has resulted in 
changes in accounting policies and the presentation of various income 
statement and balance sheet items.  Last year's comparative figures are 
restated to reflect the adoption of new HKFRSs during the year.  Details 
of the changes can be found in the Company's results announcement and 
annual report.                                                                  
                                                                               
                                                                                
2.     Extract of Auditor's Report                                             
                        
        Fundamental uncertainty relating to the going concern basis             
                                                        
        The Group recorded net current liabilities of HK$17,364,000 and 
deficiency in assets of HK$2,124,000 as at 31 March 2006. In forming our 
opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 2 
to the financial statements concerning the adoption of the going concern 
basis on which the financial statements have been prepared.  As explained 
in note 2 to the financial statements, the Group is currently undertaking 
a number of measures to improve its financial and current liquidity 
position.  The financial statements have been                                   
prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends 
upon the ongoing support by the Group's holding companies, bankers and 
other creditors, the availability of additional external funding and the 
attainment of profitable and positive cash flow operations to meet the 
Group's future working capital and financial requirements.  The financial 
statements do not include any adjustment that may be necessary should the 
implementation of such measures be unsuccessful.  We consider that 
appropriate disclosures have been made in the financial statements 
concerning this situation, but we consider that this fundamental 
uncertainty relating to whether the going concern basis is appropriate is 
so extreme that we have disclaimed our opinion.                                 
                                
                                                                                
        Disclaimer of opinion                                                   
                
        Because of the significance of the fundamental uncertainty 
relating to the going concern basis, we are unable to form an opinion as 
to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state 
of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31 March 2006 and of the 
loss and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended and as to whether 
the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with 
the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

        Revenue, which is also the Group's turnovers represents the net 
invoiced value of goods sold, after allowances for returns and trade 
discounts during the year.

6. Loss per share              

The calculation of basic loss per share amounts is based on the net loss 
for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year of 
HK$15,994,000 (2005: HK$12,047,000 (restated)), and the weighted average 
of 82,704,014 (2005: 82,704,014, restated to reflect the share 
consolidation ordinary shares in issue during the year, as adjusted to 
reflect the capital reorganization during the year.     
                
Diluted loss per share amounts for the years ended 31 March 2006 and 2005 
have not been disclosed as the convertible note and bonds and share 
options outstanding during the year had anti-dilutive effects on the basic 
loss per share for these years.
