3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the net profit 
from ordinary activities attributable to shareholders for the year of 
HK$14,253,000 (2003: HK$30,235,000) and the weighted average of 
1,600,136,800 (2003: as adjusted, 1,499,002,736) ordinary shares in issue 
during the year.

The weighted average number of shares used to calculate the basic earnings 
per share for the year ended 31st March 2003 included the pro forma issued 
share capital of the Company deemed to have been issued throughout the 
year, comprising the 20,000,000 shares in issue as at the date of the 
Prospectus and the capitalisation issue of 144,000,000 shares. The 
weighted average number of shares used to calculate the basic earnings per 
share for the years ended 31st March 2003 and 2004 were adjusted according 
to an ordinary resolution passed in the Annual General Meeting of the 
Company held on 18th September 2003 in connection to the bonus issue of 
200,000,000 shares on the basis of one bonus ordinary share for every one 
existing share in the issued share capital of the Company on 18th 
September 2003 and according to an ordinary resolution passed in the 
Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 20th February 2004 in 
connection to the bonus issue of 1,200,000,000 shares on the basis of 
three bonus ordinary shares for every one existing share in the issued 
share capital of the Company on 21st January 2004.

Diluted earnings per share amount for the year ended 31st March 2004 has 
not been presented as the effect of the assumed conversion of the 
Company's outstanding share options would be anti-dilutive. There were no 
potential dilutive shares in existence for the year ended 31st March 2003 
and accordingly, no diluted earnings per share has been presented.
